+8. Prepare eMMC
+===============
+You can use U-Boot to copy binary in eMMC.
+In the next example, you need to boot from SDCARD and the images (u-boot-spl.stm32, u-boot.img)
+are presents on SDCARD (mmc 0) in ext4 partition 4 (bootfs).
To boot from SDCard, select BootPinMode = 1 1 1 and reset.

-- for UARTs : the uart protocol used with all MCU STM32
-- for USB : based on USB DFU 1.1 (without the ST extensions used on MCU STM32)
+Then you update the eMMC with the next U-Boot command :
+
+a) prepare GPT on eMMC,
+ example with 2 partitions, bootfs and roots:
+
+ # setenv emmc_part "name=ssbl,size=2MiB;name=bootfs,type=linux,bootable,size=64MiB;name=rootfs,type=linux,size=512"
+ # gpt write mmc 1 ${emmc_part}
+
+b) copy SPL on eMMC on firts boot partition
+ (SPL max size is 256kB, with LBA 512, 0x200)
+
+ # ext4load mmc 0:4 0xC0000000 u-boot-spl.stm32
+ # mmc dev 1
+ # mmc partconf 1 1 1 1
+ # mmc write ${fileaddr} 0 200
+ # mmc partconf 1 1 1 0
+
+b) copy U-Boot in first GPT partition of eMMC
+
+ # ext4load mmc 0:4 0xC0000000 u-boot.img
+ # mmc dev 1
+ # part start mmc 1 1 partstart
+ # part size mmc 1 1 partsize
+ # mmc write ${fileaddr} ${partstart} ${partsize}
+
+To boot from eMMC, select BootPinMode = 0 1 0 and reset.
