+Garz & Fricke based boards
+==========================
+
+Garz & Fricke have a variety of Freescale i.MX based boards. Most boards are
+shipped with the redboot bootloader, newer boards are shipped with a combination
+of a shim (U-Boot based) non interactive loader and a Linux based rescue system
+called 'Flash-N-Go'.
+
+Santaro (i.MX6)
+---------------
+
+This board comes with Flash-N-Go. It boots from the internal eMMC boot0 partition.
+To put barebox on this board boot the system up in the Flash-N-Go system by holding
+the user button pressed during startup. The barebox image can be transferred via
+network or any other medium the Santaro supports. You can backup the original bootloader
+with:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+  cat /dev/mmcblk0boot0 > /mnt/mmcblk0boot0.backup
+  cat /dev/mmcblk0boot1 > /mnt/mmcblk0boot1.backup
+
+The original bootloader can be restored by copying the backup files back to the
+device.
+
+To install barebox on the board do:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+  echo 0 > /sys/block/mmcblk0boot0/force_ro
+  cat barebox-guf-santaro.img > /dev/mmcblk0boot0
+
+The board will come up with barebox after restart. Should you end up with a nonworking
+barebox or otherwise brick your board this way write a mail to s.hauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
+There's a way to put the board into SD/USB boot mode, but this requires opening the case.
