Thanks, I've applied your patch with a few minor tweaks. The main tweak
is that your commit title was not appropriate. A commit title should be
short (< 80 characters), not be a sentence, and must start with a
"category". So I've changed it to:

	configs: add readme.txt for the orangepipc defconfig

Thanks!

Thomas

+OrangePi PC
+
+Intro
+=====
+
+This default configuration will allow you to start experimenting with the
+buildroot environment for the OrangePi PC. With the current configuration
+it will bring-up the board, and allow access trough the serial console.
+
+Unfortunately this boards processor is not yet supported by the mainline 
+kernel, and therefore this default configuration is using a private Linux
+4.4RC kernel repository.
+
+
+How to build it
+===============
+
+Configure Buildroot:
+
+    $ make orangepipc_defconfig
+
+Compile everything and build the SD card image:
+
+    $ make
+
+
+How to write the SD card
+========================
+
+Once the build process is finished you will have an image called "sdcard.img"
+in the output/images/ directory.
+
+Copy the bootable "sdcard.img" onto an SD card with "dd":
+
+  $ sudo dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX
