-c. Booting the intel-quark BSP image on a Galileo board
--------------------------------------------------------
-
-If you downloaded the BSP tarball, you will find bootable images in
-the /binary directory.  If you've built your own image, either from
-the downloaded BSP layer or from the meta-intel git repository, you'll
-find the bootable image in the build/tmp/deploy/images/xxx directory,
-where again 'xxx' refers to the machine name used in the build.
-
-The Galileo board can boot off of either an SD card or USB storage
-media that has a special disk layout. The 'wic' tool can be used to
-create directly bootable images for either of the two formats via the
-following steps. As of meta-intel 6.0-morty-2.2 or newer, wic images are
-created automatically during build time, and the manual use of wic is
-not necessary. By default, the galileodisk-sd wic kickstart file is used,
-which targets SD cards. This can be changed by setting the WKS_FILE to
-something else in local.conf, such as the following:
-
-WKS_FILE = “galileodisk-usb”
-
-If your build is successful, a .wic image will be created in the usual
-deploy directory. Write this image to an SD card:
-
-    $ sudo dd if=/path/to/image/image-name.wic of=/dev/your_sd_dev
-    $ sync
-    $ sudo eject /dev/your_sd_dev
-
-Insert the SD card into the Galileo and power on.
-
-The Galileo board can boot from an hddimg formatted USB drive as well,
-but currently only live-boot, and not installation, is supported.
-An image in hddimg format is generated when you build the quark BSP.
-You can follow the procedure in II.b to use dd command to prepare your USB
-drive, then press F7 key during startup to bring up the boot option menu.
-Choose the UEFI USB boot option for the drive to boot the system. If the board
-already passes this stage and show a grub boot menu, you can press 'c'
-key and then type "quit" in grub shell. The board should come back to
-the UEFI boot menu.
