+# Arago TI SDK bootstrap image usable for board bringup
+#
+# This image is a complete package containing a rootfs and an initrd
+# with platform test utilities that can be used for new platform
+# bringup activities. Typically one would use the bootstrap initrd
+# till the storage media access is debugged, following which one would
+# switch over to using the storage media of choice with the same content.
