    Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0
    =>
 
+The rockchip bootrom can load and boot an initial spl, then continue to
+load a second-level bootloader(ie. U-BOOT) as soon as it returns to bootrom.
+Therefore RK3288 has another loading sequence like RK3036. The option of
+U-Boot is controlled with this setting in U-Boot:
+
+	#define CONFIG_ROCKCHIP_SPL_BACK_TO_BROM
+
+You can create the image via the following operations:
+
+   ./firefly-rk3288/tools/mkimage -n rk3288 -T rksd -d \
+	firefly-rk3288/spl/u-boot-spl-dtb.bin out && \
+   cat firefly-rk3288/u-boot-dtb.bin >> out && \
+   sudo dd if=out of=/dev/sdc seek=64
+
 If you have an HDMI cable attached you should see a video console.
