+   :term:`FIT_UBOOT_ENV`
+      This variable allows to add a U-Boot script as a text file to the
+      FIT image. Such a script can be sourced from the U-Boot shell.

+      For machine configurations needing such a script a
+      ``linux-yocto_%.bbappend`` file should include it in the :term:`SRC_URI`
+      of the Linux kernel recipe.
+
+      Example:
+
+      -  Add a script ``boot.cmd`` to the Linux kernel recipe::
+
+            FIT_UBOOT_ENV = "boot.cmd"
+            SRC_URI += "file://${FIT_UBOOT_ENV}"

+      -  Use the script file from the U-Boot shell. This example loads the FIT

+   :term:`UBOOT_ENV`
+      This variable allows to add additional environment variables or a script
+      to be installed together with U-Boot.
+      This file, typically ``uEnv.txt`` or ``boot.cmd``, is installed in
+      ``/boot`` as well as copied to the deploy directory.
+
+      For machine configurations needing one of these files a ``.bbappend``
+      file should include it in the :term:`SRC_URI` of the U-Boot recipe.
+
+      If the variable :term:`UBOOT_ENV_SUFFIX` is set to ``scr`` the script is
+      packaged as a uImage (``mkimage -T script..``) otherwise it gets
+      installed as it is.
+
+      Some examples:
+
+      -  Adding a script ``boot.cmd`` as an uImage to ``/boot``::
+
+            UBOOT_ENV = "boot"

+            UBOOT_ENV_SUFFIX = "txt"
+            SRC_URI += "file://${UBOOT_ENV}.${UBOOT_ENV_SUFFIX}"
+
+   :term:`UBOOT_ENV_SUFFIX`
+      If this variable is set to ``scr`` the script referred by
+      :term:`UBOOT_ENV` gets packaged as a uImage before it gets installed.
+      The default is ``txt`` which means the script is installed as-is, with
+      no modification.
+
+   :term:`UBOOT_ENV_SRC_SUFFIX`
+      If :term:`UBOOT_ENV_SUFFIX` is set to ``scr`` this is the suffix of the
+      plain text script file as is it specified in the :term:`SRC_URI` of the
+      U-Boot recipe.

       Specifies the entry point for the U-Boot image. During U-Boot image
