From 57aa6927b1526979ceb7225b854fc6247d574892 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Breno Lima Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2018 19:31:43 -0300 Subject: MLK-19722-7 doc: imx: misc: Reorganize miscellaneous documentation The Serial Download Protocol feature is availible in various i.MX SoCs. Move README.sdp document to imx/misc directory.
