+LicheeRV Nano
+==========
+
+SG2002 RISC-V SoC
+------------------
+The SG2002 is a high-performance, low-power 64-bit RISC-V/ARM SoC from Sophgo.
+
+Mainline support
+----------------
+The support for following drivers are already enabled:
+1. ns16550 UART Driver.
+2. Synopsys Designware MSHC Driver
+
+Building
+~~~~~~~~
+1. Add the RISC-V toolchain to your PATH.
+2. Setup ARCH & cross compilation environment variable:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   export CROSS_COMPILE=<riscv64 toolchain prefix>
+   cd <U-Boot-dir>
+   make licheerv_nano_defconfig
+   make
+
+This will generate u-boot.bin
+
+Booting
+~~~~~~~
+Currently, we rely on vendor FSBL (First Stage Boot Loader) to initialize the
+clock and load the u-boot image, then bootup from it.
+
+To run u-boot.bin on top of FSBL, follow these steps:
+
+1. Use mainline OpenSBI with a newer version than 1.5 to generate fw_dynamic.
+
+2. Generate a compatible u-boot.bin using U-Boot with the LicheeRV Nano default
+   configuration.
+
+3. Use the vendor-provided tool [1] to create a unified fip.bin file containing
+   FSBL, OpenSBI, and U-Boot.
+   Note that you will have to use the file cv181x.bin as the FSBL.
+
+2. Place the generated fip.bin file into the FAT partition of the SD card.
+
+3. Insert the SD card into the board and power it on.
+
+The board will automatically execute the FSBL from the fip.bin file.
+Subsequently, it will transition to OpenSBI, and finally, OpenSBI will invoke
+U-Boot.
