+11. USB host support
+====================
+
+The ethernet can be accessed after starting the USB subsystem in U-Boot.
+The adapter does not come with a preconfigured MAC address, and hence it needs
+to be set before starting USB.
+setenv usbethaddr 02:DE:AD:BE:EF:FF
+
+Note that in this example a locally managed MAC address is chosen. Care should
+be taken to make these MAC addresses unique within the same subnet.
+
+Start the USB subsystem:
+Odroid # setenv usbethaddr 02:DE:AD:BE:EF:FF
+Odroid # usb start
+(Re)start USB...
+USB0: USB EHCI 1.00
+scanning bus 0 for devices... 4 USB Device(s) found
+ scanning usb for storage devices... 1 Storage Device(s) found
+ scanning usb for ethernet devices... 1 Ethernet Device(s) found
+Odroid #
+
+Automatic IP assignment:
+------------------------
+If the ethernet is connected to a DHCP server (router maybe with DHCP enabled),
+then the below will automatically assign an ip address through DHCP.
+setenv autoload no
+dhcp
+
+Odroid # setenv autoload no
+Odroid # dhcp
+Waiting for Ethernet connection... done.
+BOOTP broadcast 1
+DHCP client bound to address 192.168.1.10 (524 ms)
+Odroid #
+
+Note that this automatically sets the many IP address related variables in
+U-Boot that is obtained from the DHCP server.
+
+Odroid # printenv ipaddr netmask gatewayip dnsip
+ipaddr=192.168.1.10
+netmask=255.255.255.0
+gatewayip=192.168.1.1
+dnsip=192.168.1.1
+
+Ping example:
+The ping command can be used a test to check connectivity. In this example,
+192.168.1.27 is a pingable server in the network.
+Odroid # ping 192.168.1.27
+Waiting for Ethernet connection... done.
+Using sms0 device
+host 192.168.1.27 is alive
+Odroid #
+
+Static IP assignment:
+---------------------
+In the case where there are no DHCP servers in the network, or you want to
+set the IP address statically, it can be done by:
+Odroid # setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.10
+Odroid # ping 192.168.1.27
+Waiting for Ethernet connection... done.
+Using sms0 device
+host 192.168.1.27 is alive
+
+TFTP booting:
+-------------
+Say there exists a tftp server in the network with address 192.168.1.27 and
+it serves a kernel image (zImage.3.17) and a DTB blob (exynos4412-odroidu3.dtb)
+that needs to be loaded and booted. It can be accomplished as below:
+(Assumes that you have setenv usbethaddr, and have not set autoload to no)
+
+Odroid # setenv serverip 192.168.1.27
+Odroid # tftpboot 0x40080000 zImage.3.17
+Waiting for Ethernet connection... done.
+Using sms0 device
+TFTP from server 192.168.1.27; our IP address is 192.168.1.10
+Filename 'zImage.3.17'.
+Load address: 0x40080000
+Loading: #################################################################

+Odroid # tftpboot 0x42000000 exynos4412-odroidu3.dtb
+Waiting for Ethernet connection... done.
+Using sms0 device
+TFTP from server 192.168.1.27; our IP address is 192.168.1.10

+Bytes transferred = 46935 (b757 hex)
+Odroid # printenv bootargs
+bootargs=Please use defined boot
+Odroid # setenv bootargs console=ttySAC1,115200n8 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwait
+Odroid # bootz 40080000 - 42000000
+Kernel image @ 0x40080000 [ 0x000000 - 0x30bd58 ]
+## Flattened Device Tree blob at 42000000

+... etc ...
+
+In the above example you can substitute 'dhcp' for 'tftpboot' as well.
+
+USB Storage booting:
+--------------------
+Similarly we can use the USB storage to load the kernel image/initrd/fdt etc
+and boot. For this example, there is a USB drive plugged in. It has a FAT
+1st partition and an EXT 2nd partition. Using the generic FS (ls/load) makes
+it even easier to work with FAT/EXT file systems.
+For this example the second EXT partition is used for booting and as rootfs.
+The boot files - kernel and the dtb are present in the /boot directory of the
+second partition.
