+Voyager
+=======
+
+Qilai RISC-V SoC
+----------------
+The QiLai SoC chip is Andes' first RISC-V SoC. It includes high performance
+quad-core Andes AX45MP cluster and one NX27V vector processor.
+
+The Voyager development platform is based on Qilai and capable of running Linux.
+
+Mainline support
+----------------
+
+The support for following drivers are already enabled:
+
+1. UART driver
+2. MMC driver
+3. SPI driver

+How to build U-Boot SPL
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Before building U-Boot SPL, OpenSBI must be build first.
+OpenSBI can be cloned and build for Voyager as below:
+
+1. Get the RISC-V toolchain.
+2. Setup cross compilation environment variable.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ git clone https://github.com/riscv-software-src/opensbi.git
+ cd opensbi
+ make PLATFORM=generic
+
+Copy OpenSBI FW_DYNAMIC image (build/platform/generic/firmware/fw_dynamic.bin)
+into U-Boot root directory, then
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ export CROSS_COMPILE=riscv64-linux-gnu-
+ cd <U-Boot-dir>
+ cp fw_dynamic.bin .
+ make voyager_spl_defconfig
+ make
+
+Booting
+~~~~~~~
+
+Currently, we rely on vendor ROM code to initialize the DDR
+and load the u-boot image, then boot from it.
