This change contains update for doc/README.nokia_rx51 documentation file with information how to load U-Boot image to device RAM without need to flash it and also how to flash it into OneNAND via 0xFFFF flasher.

Can you please convert this file to rST ?
Hello! It is already done, rst patch is already waiting... http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/patch/20210721212507.27145-1-pali@...
Thanks and regards, Lokesh

+Flashed image must start with 2 kB "NOLO!img" header which contains size of +the image. Header consist of bytes "NOLO!img\x02\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00" +followed by 4 byte little endian size of the image and rest of the 2 kB header +are just zero bytes.
+Nokia proprietary flasher and also open source 0xFFFF flasher automatically +prepend required "NOLO!img" header and both applications expect that image +does not contain "NOLO!img" header. Adding "NOLO!img" header is required +only in case using "nandwrite" tool for flashing.
+Open source 0xFFFF flasher is available in following repository:
+It is possible to load u-boot.bin via USB to N900 RAM and boot it without +need to flashing it. Via 0xFFFF running at host PC it is done:
- 0xFFFF -m u-boot.bin -l -b
+0xFFFF support also flashing kernel image either via USB or directly on +N900 device. Flashing u-boot/kernel/combined image is done as:
- 0xFFFF -m combined.bin -f
+Via 0xFFFF is possible to generate also standard flashable image in Nokia +FIASCO format which contains metadata information like device identification +(RX-51) and version string (v2021.04):
- 0xFFFF -m RX-51:v2021.04:kernel:u-boot.bin -g u-boot.fiasco
There is support for hardware watchdog. Hardware watchdog is started by NOLO so u-boot must kick watchdog to prevent reboot device (but not very often, max every 2 seconds). There is also support for framebuffer display
