+Running
+-------
+
+Since the BeagleBoard only has 64KB SRAM and the ROM bootloader can load
+a maximum 128KB file, we use the `MLO` loader to load EDK2.
+BEAGLEBOARD_EFI.fd must be renamed to `u-boot.bin`.
+
+The programs in the Tools directory are for adding the Configuration Header
+that's needed for code to run via the ROM bootloader. They're kept for reference
+and are unused.
