+3. Major Changes and Known Issues
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 
-This text is assuming quartus 16.1, but newer versions will probably work just fine too;
-verified with DE1_SOC_Linux_FB demo project (https://github.com/VCTLabs/DE1_SOC_Linux_FB).
-Updated/working projects should build using either process below.
+	3.1 Support 'vab' command to perform vendor authentication.
+
+		Command format: vab addr len
+		Authorize 'len' bytes starting at 'addr' via vendor public key
 
-Note: it *should* work from Quartus 14.0.200 onwards, however, the current vendor demo
-projects must have the IP cores updated as shown below.
+	3.2 Support SDRAM secure region in U-boot-ATF flow
 
-Rebuilding your Quartus project
--------------------------------
+		First 1 MiB of SDRAM is configured as secure region, other
+		address spaces are non-secure regions. Only software executing
+		at secure state EL3 (eg: U-boot SPL) and secure masters are
+		allowed access to secure region.
 
-Choose one of the follwing methods, either command line or GUI.
 
-Using the command line
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+4. Cyclone V / Arria V generating the handoff header files for U-Boot SPL
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
 
-First run the embedded command shell, using your path to the Quartus install:
+	Rebuilding your Quartus project
+	-------------------------------
 
-  $ /path/to/intelFPGA/16.1/embedded/embedded_command_shell.sh
+	Choose one of the follwing methods, either command line or GUI.
 
-Then (if necessary) update the IP cores in the project, generate HDL code, and
-build the project:
+	Using the command line
+	~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-  $ cd path/to/project/dir
-  $ qsys-generate soc_system.qsys --upgrade-ip-cores
-  $ qsys-generate soc_system.qsys --synthesis=[VERILOG|VHDL]
-  $ quartus_sh --flow compile <project name>
+	First run the embedded command shell, using your path to the Quartus install:
 
-Convert the resulting .sof file (SRAM object file) to .rbf file (Raw bit file):
+	  $ /path/to/intelFPGA/16.1/embedded/embedded_command_shell.sh
 
-  $ quartus_cpf -c <project_name>.sof soc_system.rbf
+	Then (if necessary) update the IP cores in the project, generate HDL code, and
+	build the project:
 
+	  $ cd path/to/project/dir
+	  $ qsys-generate soc_system.qsys --upgrade-ip-cores
+	  $ qsys-generate soc_system.qsys --synthesis=[VERILOG|VHDL]
+	  $ quartus_sh --flow compile <project name>
 
-Generate BSP handoff files
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+	Convert the resulting .sof file (SRAM object file) to .rbf file (Raw bit file):
 
-You can run the bsp editor GUI below, or run the following command from the
-project directory:
+	  $ quartus_cpf -c <project_name>.sof soc_system.rbf
 
-  $ /path/to/bsb/tools/bsp-create-settings --type spl --bsp-dir build \
-      --preloader-settings-dir hps_isw_handoff/soc_system_hps_0/ \
-      --settings build/settings.bsp
 
-You should use the bsp "build" directory above (ie, where the settings.bsp file is)
-in the following u-boot command to update the board headers.  Once these headers
-are updated for a given project build, u-boot should be configured for the
-project board (eg, de0-nano-sockit) and then build the normal spl build.
+	Generate BSP handoff files
+	~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-Now you can skip the GUI section.
+	You can run the bsp editor GUI below, or run the following command from the
+	project directory:
 
+	  $ /path/to/bsb/tools/bsp-create-settings --type spl --bsp-dir build \
+	      --preloader-settings-dir hps_isw_handoff/soc_system_hps_0/ \
+	      --settings build/settings.bsp
 
-Using the Qsys GUI
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+	You should use the bsp "build" directory above (ie, where the settings.bsp file is)
+	in the following u-boot command to update the board headers.  Once these headers
+	are updated for a given project build, u-boot should be configured for the

-Post handoff generation
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-Now that the handoff files are generated, U-Boot can be used to process
-the handoff files generated by the bsp-editor. For this, please use the
-following script from the u-boot source tree:
+	6. Start the embedded command shell as shown in the previous section
 
-  $ ./arch/arm/mach-socfpga/qts-filter.sh \
-        <soc_type> \

-Process QTS-generated files into U-Boot compatible ones.
 
-    soc_type      - Type of SoC, either 'cyclone5' or 'arria5'.
-    input_qts_dir - Directory with compiled Quartus project
-                    and containing the Quartus project file (QPF).
-    input_bsp_dir - Directory with generated bsp containing
-                    the settings.bsp file.
-    output_dir    - Directory to store the U-Boot compatible
-                    headers.
+	Post handoff generation
+	~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-This will generate (or update) the following 4 files:
+	Now that the handoff files are generated, U-Boot can be used to process
+	the handoff files generated by the bsp-editor. For this, please use the

-These files should be copied into "qts" directory in the board directory
-(see output argument of qts-filter.sh command above).
+	Process QTS-generated files into U-Boot compatible ones.
 
-Here is an example for the DE-0 Nano SoC after the above rebuild process:

+5. Arria10 generating the handoff header files for U-Boot SPL
 ----------------------------------------------------------
-Arria 10 generating the handoff header files for U-Boot SPL
-----------------------------------------------------------
 
-A header file for inclusion in a devicetree for Arria10 can be generated
-by the qts-filter-a10.sh script directly from the hps_isw_handoff/hps.xml
-file generated during the FPGA project compilation.  The header contains
-all PLL, clock, pinmux, and bridge configurations required.

+	all PLL, clock, pinmux, and bridge configurations required.
+
+	Please look at the socfpga_arria10_socdk_sdmmc-u-boot.dtsi for an example

+
+6. mkimage for Cyclone V, Arria V and Arria 10
+----------------------------------------------------------
+
+	The mkimage tool creates an Intel BootROM compatible image of the
+	Cyclone V SoC, Arria V SoC or Arria 10 SoC bootloader. mkimage is invoked
+	automatically in default U-boot building proccess. To create BootROM
+	compatible image manually, user can run example below:
 
+	./tools/mkimage -T <type> -d <input file> <output file>
 
-  $ ./arch/arm/mach-socfpga/qts-filter-a10.sh \
-        <hps_xml> \
-        <output_file>
+	Cyclone V and Arria V:
+	./tools/mkimage -T socfpgaimage -d spl/u-boot-spl.bin spl/u-boot-spl.sfp
 
-    hps_xml      - hps_isw_handoff/hps.xml from Quartus project
-    output_file  - Output filename and location for header file
+	Arria 10:
+	./tools/mkimage -T socfpgaimage_v1 -d spl/u-boot-spl.bin spl/u-boot-spl.sfp
 
-The script generates a single header file names <output_file> that should
-be placed in arch/arm/dts.
+	For more inforation, run "./tools/mkimage --help".
