Add a genimage.cfg to create a working sdcard.img for the ci20 hardware. We also need a uboot-env.txt to create the partition for the uboot environment. Update the board/ci20/readme.txt with the related information. Remove the tftp netboot description from the readme as it is already to complicated for a basic bootable example.

********************* * MIPS Creator CI20 * ********************* Introduction ============ The 'ci20_defconfig' will create a root filesystem and a kernel image under the 'output/images/' directory. This document will try to explain how to use them in order to run Buildroot in the MIPS Creator CI20 board. How to build it =============== Configure Buildroot ------------------- $ make ci20_defconfig Build the rootfs ---------------- Note: you will need to have access to the network, since Buildroot will download the packages' sources. You may now build your rootfs with: $ make (This may take a while, consider getting yourself a coffee ;-) ) 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. Make sure the SD card is not mounted then copy the bootable "sdcard.img" onto it with "dd": $ sudo dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX Insert the SDcard into your ci20, and power it up. Your new system should come up now and start a console on the UART HEADER. see: https://elinux.org/CI20_Hardware#Dedicated_UART_header
