R-Car-Starter-Kit-gen3.md: Talk about wic images now
With Eel we now provide wic images, so there's no reason to have all of the steps involving extracting a tarball manually onto a manually prepared SD card. Bug-AGL: SPEC-899 Signed-off-by: Tom Rini <trini@konsulko.com>

# Booting AGL Image on R-Car Starter Kit Gen3 boards using a microSD card

+To boot the board using a micro-SD card, there are two operations that must be done prior to first initial boot:
* Update all firmware on the device.
-* Create a SD-card with one ext4 partition,
* Set up the board to boot on the SD-card.
-Then, for each build, the SD-card is merely rewritten and used to boot the configured board.
+For each subsequent build you only need to rewrite the SD-card with the new image.

-### Copying the built image to the SD-card
-
-Insert the SD-card into your build host:
-
* Your desktop system probably offers a choice to mount the SD-card automatically in some directory.
* In the next sample code, we'll suppose that the SD-card mount directory is stored in the variable $SDCARD.
* For example, if the microSD card is associated with device *sdc*:
-```bash
-export SDCARD=/tmp/agl
-mkdir -p $SDCARD
-sudo mount /dev/sdc1 $SDCARD
-```
-
Go to your build directory:
```bash
cd $AGL_TOP/build/tmp/deploy/images/$MACHINE
```
-Make sure the filesystem is empty:
-
-```bash
-sudo rm -rf ${SDCARD:-bad_dir}/*
-```
-
-**IMPORTANT NOTE**: Verify that **tar** version is 1.28 or newer: this is required to create extended attributes correctly on the SD-card, and in particular SMACK labels used to enforce security. Check with the following command:
-
-```bash
-tar --version
-tar (GNU tar) 1.28
-[snip]
-```
-
-If your distribution is up to date on this dependency, you can use the host tool directly.
-Let's define a variable for the following steps:
-
-```bash
-TAR=$(which tar)
-```
-
-Otherwise, a native up-to-date version of tar is also generated while building AGL distribution:
-
-```bash
-TAR=$AGL_TOP/build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/tar-native/tar
-$TAR --version
-tar (GNU tar) 1.28
-[snip]
-```
-
-Copy Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) files onto the mircoSD card by extracting the root file system archive:
-
-```bash
-sudo $TAR --extract --xz --numeric-owner --preserve-permissions --preserve-order --totals \
- --xattrs-include='*' --directory=$SDCARD --file=agl-demo-platform-h3ulcb.tar.xz
-```
-
-Copy Kernel Image and Device Tree Blob file into the **boot** directory:
-
-* For machine h3ulcb (BSP >= 2.19):
-
-```bash
-sudo cp Image-r8a7795-es1-h3ulcb.dtb $SDCARD/boot/
-```
-
-* For machine h3ulcb (BSP < 2.19):
-
-```bash
-sudo cp Image-r8a7795-h3ulcb.dtb $SDCARD/boot/
-```
-
-* For machine m3ulcb:
-
-```bash
-sudo cp Image-r8a7796-m3ulcb.dtb $SDCARD/boot/
-```
-
-Ensure the changes have been written to the disk:
-
-```bash
-sync
-```
+The **.wic.xz** file can be uncompressed and written to the device you discovered in the previous step as follows:
-Unmount the microSD card:
```bash
-sudo umount $SDCARD
+ sudo umount /dev/sdc
+ xzcat agl-demo-platform-$MACHINE.wic.xz | sudo dd of=/dev/sdc bs=4M
+ sync
```
