+== fbtool introduction ==
+	fbtool.py is a tool program running at host pc.
+	It will send preloader and lk to platform via usb in order to support fastboot command.
+
+
+1 environment preparation
+	1.1 Need to install Python 2.7 or Python 3 (or higher version) firstly
+	1.2 Local pySerial library is preferred.
+	  If there is no pySerial folder or fail to import local pySerial,
+	  fbtool.py will find pySerial library in the host PC.
+	  In this case, please ensure host PC has installed pySerial library (2.6 or higher version):
+	  - Download pySerial from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyserial . e.g. pyserial-3.2.1.tar.gz
+	    Exceptionally, please install *pySerial 3.0.1* (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyserial/3.0.1) on Windows XP.
+	  - Unzip and execute 'python setup.py install' to install it
+
+3 usage
+	fbtool.py [options]
+	Options:
+		-h, --help				show this help message and exit
+		-f FILE, --file=FILE	read config file, default config file: dl_addr.ini
+		-d, --debug				enable debug log
+		-m, --meid				get meid
+
+	auth_file:	${PROJECT}/fbtool-da/auth_sv5.auth
+	preloader:	${PROJECT}/fbtool-da/fbtool-da-pl.bin
+	lk:		${PROJECT}/fbtool-da/fbtool-da-lk.bin
+
+3.1 usage with normal chip
+	command : 	command: python fbtool.py (or python fbtool.py -f config.ini)
+
+	Add preloader file path and preloader load address to dl_addr.ini or config.ini "da1_path" key and "da1_addr" key
+	Add preloader load address to dl_addr.ini or config.ini 'da1_addr' key
+	Add lk file path and lk load address  to dl_addr.ini or config.ini "da2_path" key and "da2_addr" key
+
+	preloader support the following files:
+		${PROJECT}/fbtool-da/fbtool-da-pl.bin
+		${OUT}/.../bin/preloader_${PROJECT}_NO_GFH.bin
+		${OUT}/.../preloader_${PROJECT}.bin
+		${OUT}/.../preloader.img
+	We recommend to use pre-built binary fbtool-da-pl.bin in case customer disable the download support of preloader.
+
+	lk support only ${PROJECT}/fbtool-da/fbtool-da-lk.bin
+	fbtool-da-lk.bin is generated by ./tool/gen-dalk-from-lk.py
+	usage: python ./tool/gen-dalk-from-lk.py ${CHIP_ID} ${OUT}/.../lk-no-mtk-header.bin fbtool-da-lk.bin
+
+3.2 usage with secure chip (enable DAA)
+	command: python fbtool.py (or python fbtool.py -f config.ini)
+	Add authorization file path to dl_addr.ini or config.ini "auth_path" key
+
+	Generate an auth_file which contains the corresponding public key of private-key.pem (private-key.pem is used to sign preloader)
+	(just like SP Flash tool).
+
+	Sign preloader with ./tool/signfile-for-brom.sh
+	usage: signfile-for-brom.sh private-key.pem fbtool-da-pl.bin
+		private-key.pem is generated from openssl command.
+		run the script and it will output a file : fbtool-da-pl.bin.sign.
+		(fbtool-da-pl.bin is a pre-built preloader_${PROJECT}_NO_GFH.bin.
+		 DO NOT use preloader.bin or preloader.img to generate the sign file.)
+
+	With DAA enabled, the fbtool will automatically use *.sign as the signature of pl & lk.
+	Thus, we have to
+		put fbtool-da-pl.bin and fbtool-da-pl.bin.sign in the same folder.
+		put fbtool-da-lk.bin and fbtool-da-lk.bin.sign in the same folder.
+
+3.3 usage with secure preloader (enable preloader secure DA verify)
+	Sign lk with ./tool/signfile-for-pl.sh
+
+	usage: signfile-for-pl.sh private-key.pem fbtool-da-lk.bin
+		the private-key.pem is generated from openssl rsa-1024.
+		and the fbtool-da-lk.bin.sign is generated.
+
+3.4 usage with single lk
+	command: python fbtool.py (or python fbtool.py -f config.ini)
+	Just add single lk path and load address to dl_addr.ini or config.ini "da1_path" key and "da1_addr" key
+
+3.5 send certificate file
+	command: python fbtool.py (or python fbtool.py -f config.ini)
+	Just add certificate file path to dl_addr.ini or config.ini "cert_path" key
