 Microchip KSZ 9477 Evaluation board
 ===================================
 
-This is an evaluation board for a switch that uses the at91sam9x5 CPU.
+This is an evaluation board for the KSZ9477 switch that uses the sama5d36 CPU.
 The board uses Device Tree and supports multi image.
 
-Building barebox:
+Building barebox as second stage bootloader:
 
 .. code-block:: sh
 
   make ARCH=arm microchip_ksz9477_evb_defconfig
+
+There are also a separate defconfig for operating barebox as first stage
+bootloader originating from SD Card.
+This configuration doesn't yet support device-tree use as the NVM bootloader
+(SoC ROM code) requires the first stage bootloader to fit into 64K.
+
+Generally, the first stage may comes from any of the following boot
+sources (in that order):
+
+* SPI0 CS0 Flash
+* SD Card
+* NAND Flash
+* SPI0 CS1 Flash
+* I2C EEPROM
+
+After being loaded into SRAM by the NVM bootloader, the first stage does low
+level clock initialization, configuration of the DDRAM controller and
+bootstraps the second stage boot loader.
+
+SD Card Bootstrap
+-----------------
+
+For boot from SD card, barebox additionally needs to be configured as
+first stage bootloader:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+  make ARCH=arm microchip_ksz9477_evb_bootstrap_mmc_defconfig
+
+The resulting barebox image must be renamed to ``BOOT.BIN``
+and located in the root directory of the first FAT16/32 partition
+on the SD Card/eMMC. After initialization, ``BOOT.BIN`` will look
+for a ``barebox.bin`` in the same directory and load and execute it
+from SDRAM.
