 Information about the ``imx-image`` tool
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
 The imx-image tool can be used to generate imximages from raw binaries.
 It requires an configuration file describing how to setup the SDRAM on
 a particular board. This mainly consists of a poke table. The recognized
 options in this file are:

 Some notes about the mentioned *conditions*.
 
  - ``until_all_bits_clear`` waits until ``(*addr & mask) == 0`` is true
  - ``until_all_bits_set`` waits until ``(*addr & mask) == mask`` is true
  - ``until_any_bit_clear`` waits until ``(*addr & mask) != mask`` is true
  - ``until_any_bit_set`` waits until ``(*addr & mask) != 0`` is true.
 
 USB Boot
 ^^^^^^^^
 
 Most boards can be explicitly configured for USB Boot Mode or fall back
 to USB Boot when no other medium can be found. The barebox repository
 contains a USB upload tool. As it depends on the libusb development headers,
