+Replacing files in an image
+---------------------------
+
+You can replace files in an existing firmware image created by binman, provided
+that there is an 'fdtmap' entry in the image. For example:
+
+ $ binman replace -i image.bin section/cbfs/u-boot
+
+which will write the contents of the file 'u-boot' from the current directory
+to the that entry. The file must be the same size as the entry being replaced.
