From: Atish Patra <atish.patra at wdc.com>

The readme guide describes the procedure to build, flash and boot Linux
using U-Boot on HiFive Unleashed. It also explains the current state of
U-boot support and future action items.

+FU540-C000 RISC-V SoC
+=====================
+The FU540-C000 is the world’s first 4+1 64-bit RISC‑V SoC from SiFive.
+
+The HiFive Unleashed development platform is based on FU540-C000 and capable
+of running Linux.
+
+Mainline support
+================
+The support for following drivers are already enabled:
+1. SiFive UART Driver.
+2. SiFive PRCI Driver for clock.
+3. Cadence MACB ethernet driver for networking support.
+
+TODO:
+1. SPI driver is still missing. So MMC card can't be used in U-Boot as of now.
+2. U-Boot expects the serial console device entry to be present under /chosen
+   DT node. Example:
+   chosen {
+        stdout-path = "/soc/serial at 10010000:115200";
+   };
+
+   Without a serial console U-Boot will panic.
+
+Building
+========
+1. Add the RISC-V toolchain to your PATH.
+2. Setup ARCH & cross compilation enviornment variable.
+   a. export ARCH=riscv
+   b. export CROSS_COMPILE=<riscv64 toolchain prefix>
+3. make sifive_fu540_defconfig
+4. make
+
+Flashing
+========
+The current U-Boot port is supported in S-mode only and loaded from DRAM.
+
+A prior stage (M-mode) firmware/bootloader (e.g OpenSBI or BBL) is required to
+load the u-boot.bin into memory and provide runtime services. The u-boot.bin
+can be given as a payload to the prior stage (M-mode) firmware/bootloader.
+
+The description of steps required to build the firmware is beyond the scope of
+this document. Please refer OpenSBI or BBL documenation.
+(Note: OpenSBI git repo is at https://github.com/riscv/opensbi.git)
+(Note: BBL git repo is at https://github.com/riscv/riscv-pk.git)
+
+Once the prior stage firmware/bootloader binary is generated, it should be
+copied to the first partition of the sdcard.
+
+sudo dd if=<prior_stage_firmware_binary> of=/dev/disk2s1 bs=1024
+
+Booting
+=======
+Once you plugin the sdcard and power up, you should see the U-Boot prompt.
