+### Updating Boot1
+
+`boot1` is responsible for managing application loading. As such, updating `boot1` requires an intermediate step, because the actively executing program cannot overwrite its contents safely. The overview for updating `boot1` is as follows:
+
+1. Load `boot1-alt` into the `baremetal` region.
+2. Run `boot1-alt`, thus freeing `boot1` to be updated.
+3. Copy the updated `boot1` record while in the `boot1-alt` environment.
+4. Reboot back into the `boot1` environment.

+#### Detailed Boot1 Update for Dabao Users
+
+1. Build alt-boot1: `cargo xtask bao1x-alt-boot1`
+2. Build boot1: `cargo xtask bao1x-boot1`
+3. Plug the dabao board into the host. Confirm that the mass storage device has the volume label of `BAOCHIP`.
+4. Copy `target/riscv32imac-unknown-none-elf/release/bao1x-alt-boot1.uf2` into the `BAOCHIP` volume.
+5. Press `PROG` (the button closest to the USB connector)
+6. The board should unmount itself and re-mount as a volume with the label of `ALTCHIP`.
+7. Copy `target/riscv32imac-unknown-none-elf/release/bao1x-boot1.uf2` into the `ALTCHIP` volume.
+8. Press `RESET` (the button farthest from the USB connector)
+9. The device should re-appear as `BAOCHIP`
+10. Confirm boot1 update by running the `audit` command on the boot1 console and checking that the reported git revision matches that of the source build.
