Documentation summary for feature / change

rock-3a:add u-boot image for sata boot on m.2 e.key

  • for sata boot the rkspi_loader_sata.img has to be flashed on spi flash (use dd or flashcp)

  • flash armbian image to sata device with dd (or ifd3f/caligula , etcher cli )

  • mount armbian boot partition on sata device and add rock-3a-sata too useroverlay

  • poweroff and remove sdcard( or emmc ) to boot from sata

    armbian install doesnt work because u-boot needs extra vfat boot partition which armbian install doesnt create only single
    partition

OK, lets wait a bit, so we don't need to add another PR for its removal later.
