 ** APF51 patch 2.1 use the U-Boot binary format "u-boot-with-nand-spl.imx" that replace the "u-boot-nand.bin"
 ** migration to U-Boot 2013.04 for the APF51 is transparent even for the new binary file format as soon as you reload apf51 buidlroot config: make apf51_defconfig
-* Extra environment variables are now externalized and downloaded at run time from ${board_name}-u-boot-env.txt
+* Support environment variables customization to be downloaded and updated at run time from ${board_name}-u-boot-env.txt
-** This change is requested by U-Boot project in order to integrate the APF boards in U-Boot
-** Few scripts help to manage the environment variable: download_env, flash_env, update_env, flash_reset_env and check_env
 ** You can customize your environment variable from BuildRoot: make menuconfig -> boot loaders -> U-Boot -> Environment image -> source file.. -> $(ARMADEUS_PATH)/u-boot-env-2013.04.txt
 * FPGA improvement:
 ** APF51 now supports .bit files from U-Boot through the command: fpga loadb. .bit files can also be used for autoload purpose: setenv firmware_autoload 1; saveenv
