+
+Build U-Boot
+------------
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ make apalis-imx8qm_defconfig
+    $ make u-boot-dtb.imx
+
+Load the U-Boot Binary Using UUU
+--------------------------------
+
+Get the latest version of the universal update utility (uuu) aka ``mfgtools 3.0``:
+
+https://community.nxp.com/external-link.jspa?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FNXPmicro%2Fmfgtools%2Freleases
+
