+Migrating from distro_boot
+--------------------------
+
+To migrate from distro_boot:
+
+#. Update your board header files to remove the BOOTENV and BOOT_TARGET_xxx
+   defines. Standard boot finds available boot devices automatically.
+
+#. Remove the "boot_targets" variable unless you need it. Standard boot uses a
+   default order from fastest to slowest, which generally matches the order used
+   by boards.
+
+#. Make sure that CONFIG_BOOTSTD_DEFAULTS is enabled by your board, so it can
+   boot common Linux distributions.
+
+An example patch is at migrate_patch_.
+
+If you are using custom boot scripts for your board, consider creating your
+own bootmeth to hold the logic. There are various examples at
+`boot/bootmeth_...`.
