1Andes Technology SoC AE350
2===========================
3
4AE350 is the mainline SoC produced by Andes Technology using AX25 CPU core
5base on RISC-V architecture.
6
7AE350 has integrated both AHB and APB bus and many periphals for application
8and product development.
9
10AX25-AE350
11=========
12
13AX25-AE350 is the SoC with AE350 hardcore CPU.
14
15Configurations
16==============
17
18CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT:
19	If you want to boot this system from SPI ROM and bypass e-bios (the
20	other boot loader on ROM). You should undefine CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
21	in "include/configs/ax25-ae350.h".
22
23Build and boot steps
24====================
25
26build:
271. Prepare the toolchains and make sure the $PATH to toolchains is correct.
282. Use `make ax25-ae350_defconfig` in u-boot root to build the image.
29
30Verification
31====================
32
33Target
34====================
351. startup
362. relocation
373. timer driver
384. uart driver
395. mac driver
406. mmc driver
417. spi driver
42
43Steps
44====================
451. Define CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT to build u-boot which is loaded via gdb from ram.
462. Undefine CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT to build u-boot which is booted from spi rom.
473. Ping a server by mac driver
484. Scan sd card and copy u-boot image which is booted from flash to ram by sd driver.
495. Burn this u-boot image to spi rom by spi driver
506. Re-boot u-boot from spi flash with power off and power on.
