Start-up Guide 

Introduction 

This document provides a guide to prepare RZ/G2 reference boards to boot up with the Verified Linux Package v3.0.x. 
Especially, procedures to write bootloader to each board are explained.

Renesas. This document explains the way to write these files using the Flash Writer.
