[Dev] Rework of the ARM installation guide

[Josh Branning]

For instance something like this, but maybe a bit better written?

#!/bin/bash
#fill in these variables
uboot_package_name="uboot4extlinux-a10-olinuxino-lime"
drive="/dev/mmcblk0"
ext_partition="/dev/mmcblk0p1"

#script starts here
mkdir workdir
cd workdir
wget --content-disposition 
"https://www.parabola.nu/packages/libre/armv7h/${uboot_package_name}/download/"
tar -xf uboot4extlinux-*
cp -a -n boot "${ext_partition}"
chmod +x ./.INSTALL
source ./.INSTALL
echo "N" | flash_uboot | while read -r line; do if [ "$(echo $line | cut 
-c 1-4)" == "# dd" ]; then $(echo $line | cut -c 3- | sed -e 
's/\/boot/boot/g' | sed -e "s|\/dev\/mmcblk0|${drive}|g"); fi; done
