2024-07-19doc: Move bootstd into its own directorySimon Glass
Before adding more files, move the bootstd docs into a new directory, with an index. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Quentin Schulz <quentin.schulz@cherry.de> Reviewed-by: Mattijs Korpershoek <mkorpershoek@baylibre.com>
2024-06-30doc: develop: Add a general section on gdb usageAlexander Dahl
Mashed up from different sources linked below, including the now gone Wiki and doc/README.arm-relocation file. Tested on a custom board with AT91 SAMA5D2 SoC and Segger J-Link Base adapter. This is only generic advice here, the usage is not board specific. Some board docs have more specific instructions on using gdb with a particular board.

2022-09-01doc: sending_patches.rst: Incorporate the old "Patches" wiki contentTom Rini
Import as-is much of the old "Patches" wiki page to the current sending_patches.rst file. This means we need to move patman to being included in the higher level ToC and add a reference for "Custodians" in the process document. A very minimal amount of content changing and rewording is done here as part of the import, in order to make the conversion easier.

2022-07-29doc: develop: Describe system configurationTom Rini

Migrate the RelaseCycle wiki page to Sphinx. In terms of visible changes, we stop having a dynamic countdown to when the release is.
