Add initial support for Amarula A64-Relic board
with below features:
- U-Boot 2018.07-rc1
- Linux 4.17.0-rc6
- Default packages from buildroot

Signed-off-by: Jagan Teki <jagan@amarulasolutions.com>
---
Changes for v2:
- Use mainline U-Boot
- Drop uboot.fragment since the UMS used for developement,
  so note it on readme.txt how to use.
- format the 'Write eMMC' steps suggested by Arnout.
- fix fastboot steps in readme.txt
- add offset in genimage.cfg for boot partition instead of size

Is mmcblk1 going to be the SD card or the eMMC ?

So you're producing a sdcard.img, but your readme.txt doesn't use it.

Is this going to work with the extlinux.conf provided above ? I doubt
the same extlinux.conf can work for both the SD card booting and eMMC
booting.

If you want to support both eMMC and SD card booting, that's OK, but it
should be explained in the readme.txt, and it should be clear whether
the default extlinux.conf is meant for SD card booting or eMMC booting.

What is "image packing with specified file-system" ? I don't understand
what you mean here. Perhaps you wanted to say:

""

During development, reflashing the entire filesystem image at every
change is time consuming. A useful alternative is to directly access
over USB the filesystem stored on the eMMC, using the USB Mass Storage
capability of U-Boot. To achieve this:

""

Last thing, since your readme.txt says to use fastboot, you should
probably enable BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_ANDROID_TOOLS_FASTBOOT, which will
make sure fastboot is available in output/host/bin/. And so your
readme.txt should point to this fastboot.

Best regards,

mmcblk1 is eMMC there is not SD card support on this. mmcblk0 detected
as SDIO for wifi

right now I'm not using this, but with fastboot I'm using individual
images. but we can use sdcard.img in eMMC DOS partition if we want. do
you want to mentioned the same?

Here, extlinux.conf is for eMMC boot.

+Amarula A64 Relic
+================
+
+Amarula A64-Relic is A64 based IoT device, which support
+- Allwinner A64 Cortex-A53
+- Mali-400MP2 GPU
+- AXP803 PMIC
+- 1GB DDR3 RAM
+- 8GB eMMC
+- AP6330 Wifi/BLE
+- MIPI-DSI
+- CSI: OV5640 sensor
+- USB OTG
+- 12V DC power supply
+
+Build
+=====
+
+  $ make amarula_a64_relic_defconfig
+
+  $ make
+
+build files at output/images/:
+  - sunxi-spl.bin
+  - u-boot.itb
+  - Image
+  - sun50i-a64-amarula-relic.dtb
+  - boot.vfat
+  - rootfs.ext4
+  - sdcard.img
+
+Write eMMC
+=========
+
+The board comes with an operating system preloaded on the eMMC.
+To replace it with the Buildroot-built system, take the following
+steps
+
+1. Connect the board UART with host and open minicom(ttyUSBx/115200N8)
+
+2. Supply 12V DC for power-on the board.
+
+3. Interrupt U-Boot by pressing enter
+
+4. Create GPT partitions
+  => mmc dev 1
+  => gpt write mmc 1 $partitions
+
+5. Connect the board USB-OTG with USB slot on the host.
+
+6. Initiate fastboot
+  => fastboot 0
+
+7. Write images from host onto eMMC using fastboot
+
+  $ output/images
+  $ fastboot -i 0x1f3a flash loader1 sunxi-spl.bin
+  $ fastboot -i 0x1f3a flash loader2 u-boot.itb
+  $ fastboot -i 0x1f3a flash esp boot.vfat
+  $ fastboot -i 0x1f3a flash system rootfs.ext4
+
+Update eMMC during Development
+==============================
+
+In order to avoid image packing with specified file-system every time
+during development, it better to alter the data in the partition by
+mounting on host with the help of 'ums' in U-Boot.
+
+1. Build U-Boot with CONFIG_CMD_USB_MASS_STORAGE=y
+
+2. Follow all 6 steps from 'Write eMMC' and mount eMMC on host
+    => mmc dev 1
+    => ums 0 mmc 1
