 This folder contains a simple bootloader called "riotboot".
 A header with metadata of length `RIOTBOOT_HDR_LEN` precedes
 the RIOT firmware. The header contains "RIOT" as a magic
-number to recognise a RIOT firmware image, a checksum, and
+number to recognize a RIOT firmware image, a checksum, and
 the version of the RIOT firmware `APP_VER`.
 This bootloader verifies the checksum of the header which is located
 at an offset (`ROM_OFFSET`) with respect to  the `ROM_START_ADDR`

 The image can be flashed using `riotboot/flash` which also flashes
 the bootloader. Below a concrete example:
 
-`BOARD=samr21-xpro FEATURES_REQUIRED+=riotboot APP_VER=$(date +%s) make -C examples/hello-world flash-combined-slot0`
+`BOARD=samr21-xpro FEATURES_REQUIRED+=riotboot APP_VER=$(date +%s) make -C examples/hello-world riotboot/flash-combined-slot0`
 
 The above compiles a hello world binary and a bootloader, then flashes the
 combined binary comprising of: bootloader + slot 0 header + slot 0 image.
