Only add a warning message in readme.txt files giving intructions to
flash the target memory device.

All others boards coming with a readme.txt files explain how to
prepare a removable media or how to use the emulator.

The current wording is quite scary, and doesn't even explain *why*
those particular board readme.txt files have such a warning. What about
just:

"""
WARNING: the below information will overwrite the platform bootloader.
Therefore, make sure you have a known-working recovery mechanism for
your platform, as we can't guarantee that the new bootloader will work.
"""

Best regards,

Thomas
