Some minor nits. But overall LGTM!


Developers can use the downstream version from Thundercomm to get started. Software and tools to download, build and flash the boot images and rootfs images can be found on Thundercomm's website.

@Mani-Sadhasivam

There is a direct link to an SDK manager archive file (https://thundercomm.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/web/common/TC-sdkmanager-4.0.0.zip), but I am reluctant to add this link to a file hosted on AWS on the 96boards pages.

Also to my knowledge it might be preferred to download boards' STD archive with image files, what's your opinion?

You should point to the actual archive that the customer can download and use. Directing them to the board page doesn't help.

Is sda845 the actual SoC name? You're using it for RB2 as well.

Good point, that's been copied from RB5 pages, the same issue is present over there and should be fixed also.

Hi @lumag, @Mani-Sadhasivam, @vinodkoul

I've force-pushed the rb1-rb2 branch from b383aec to be5a041, I hope all review comments were addressed.
