+Garz+Fricke Vincell LT
+======================
+
+This CPU card is based on a Freescale i.MX53 CPU. The card is shipped with:
+
+ * 512MiB NAND flash
+ * 512MiB synchronous dynamic RAM
+ * microSD slot
+
+see http://www.garz-fricke.com/en/products/embedded-systems/single-board-computer/ia-0086r/ for more information
+
+
+Bootstrapping barebox
+=====================
+
+The Vincell is shipped with the RedBoot bootloader. To replace RedBoot with
+barebox, you first need to connect a serial console to the device.
+
+UART1 is located on the Molex header X39. When the Vincell is lying on the
+display, then Pin 1 on the header is in the lower right:
+
+ * Pin 1 - GND
+ * Pin 2 - TXD1
+ * Pin 3 - RXD1
+
+If everything is connected right, RedBoot shows up on the console.
+
+factory_bootstrap
+-----------------
+
+Turn on the board and abort the boot process with ``Ctrl-C``.
+Configure RedBoot so that it finds the barebox image on your TFTP server.
+Execute ``fc`` and change the network setup according to your environment.
+Be sure to copy the `Boot script` line to the prompt, otherwise it will be
+set empty. The network setup can be validated with ``ping -h <serverip>``.
+If the network setup is working properly, barebox can be loaded into memory::
+
+ load -v -r -b 0x80100000 barebox-guf-vincell-lt.img
+ exec
+
+Once in barebox, the bootloader can now be persisted to NAND::
+
+ barebox_update -t nand /mnt/tftp/barebox-guf-vincell-lt.img``
