Board support package includes:

 * Buildroot defconfig
 * Mainline Linux kernel v4.9.5
 * Mainline U-Boot (current HEAD revision is used, as board support
   patches are not in stable release yet)
 * genimage config to create sdcard image
 * Board readme.txt

Signed-off-by: Marcin Niestroj <m.niestroj@grinn-global.com>

Changes v1 -> v2:
 * U-Boot is fetched from mainline with specific git revision, as
   board support patches were just applied. This means that all U-Boot
   patches in Buildroot were dropped.
 * s/liteBoard/chiliBoard/ in readme.txt (suggested by Baruch)

You're actually using 4.9.6.

This is not strictly needed as you boot with console=ttyO0, and default
is "console", but ok.

I've changed this to use http://git.denx.de/u-boot.git as some users are
behind firewalls not allowing git://.

Committed with that changed, thanks.

+
+Build
+=====
+
+First, configure Buildroot for your chiliBoard:
+
+  make grinn_chiliboard_defconfig
+
+Build image:
+
+  make
+
+After building you should get a tree like this:
+
+  output/images/
+  ├── am335x-chiliboard.dtb
+  ├── boot.vfat
+  ├── MLO
+  ├── rootfs.ext2
+  ├── rootfs.ext4
+  ├── rootfs.tar
+  ├── sdcard.img
+  ├── u-boot.img
+  └── zImage
+
+Create a bootable microSD card
+==============================
+
+Buildroot prepares a bootable microSD card image "sdcard.img" in output/images/
+directory, To flash SD card just run the following command:
+
+  sudo dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/<sd_card> bs=1M
+
+where <sd_card> can be sdX or mmcblkX
+
+*** WARNING! This will destroy all contents of device you specify! ***
+
+Boot chiliBoard
+===============
+
+- insert the microSD card in the microSD slot of the board;
+- plug micro USB cable to provide power and console interface
+- use terminal emulator with 115200 bps, 8n1
