+USB Bootstrap (DFU)
+-------------------

+The STM32MP1 can be strapped to boot from USB. After Power-On reset, it

+
+The first command will talk to the BootROM and upload the first stage
+bootloader (ARM Trusted Firmware-A) into on-chip SRAM.
+
+When compiled with ``STM32MP_USB_PROGRAMMER=1``, TF-A v2.6 or higher
+will seamlessly continue operation of the DFU gadget. The second
+command will talk to TF-A to upload a Firmware Image Package, which
+is a format bundling further firmware including barebox.
+
+The final command will instruct TF-A to boot the loaded images.
+This all happens in volatile memory. To persist images, use
+normal barebox functionality like creating a DFU-gadget in barebox,
+Fastboot/USB mass storage ... etc.
+
+The FIP image containing barebox can be generated as described in
+:ref:`stm32mp_fip`. Upstream TF-A doesn't support DFU for
+SSBLs using the legacy stm32image format.
