+Prepare the SD card for the Minnow Board MAX
+============================================
+
+ 1. Partition the SD card with a GPT partition table
+
+    sudo cgdisk /dev/mmcblk0
+
+    Create two partitions:
+
+     a) First partition of a few dozens of megabytes, which will be
+        used to store the bootloader and the kernel image. Type must
+        be EF00 (EFI partition).
+
+     b) Second partition of any size, which will be used to store the
+        root filesystem. Type must be 8300 (Linux filesystem)
+
+ 2. Prepare the boot partition
+
+    We will format it, mount it, copy the EFI data generated by
+    Buildroot, and the kernel image.
+
+    sudo mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n boot /dev/mmcblk0p1
+    sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt
+    sudo cp -a output/images/efi-part/* /mnt/
+    sudo cp output/images/bzImage /mnt/
+    sudo umount /mnt
+
+ 3. Prepare the root partition
+
+    We will format it, mount it, and extract the root filesystem.
+
+    sudo mkfs.ext4 -L root /dev/mmcblk0p2
+    sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt
+    sudo tar -C /mnt -xf output/images/rootfs.tar
+    sudo umount /mnt
+
+ 4. Enjoy
