Flashing instructions(NAND flash)

Pre-requirements: Install tftp server in you local machine and copy the image to tftp server location

Step 1: Power on the BPi board
Step 2:You will see U-Boot Boot Menu procedure (ie, startup system, upgarde firmware, ...)
Step 3:Select the second option upgrade firmware -> Run image after upgrading? (Y/n): Y
Step 4:Next on Available load methods select 0 which is TFTP client.
Step 5:Setup device network
       Input U-Boot's IP address: (same network as tftp server, eg:192.168.2.1)
       Input TFTP server's IP address: (tftp server IP address)
       Input IP netmask: 255.255.255.0
       Input file name: rdk-generic-broadband-image-bananapi4-rdk-broadband-sysupgrade.bin (BPI image in bin format)
Step 6:Then enter, image will be downloaded from tftp server to BPI and will start flashing the image to BPI device if success.
