+Andes Technology SoC AE250
+===========================
+
+AE250 is the mainline SoC produced by Andes Technology using NX25 CPU core
+base on RISC-V architecture.
+
+AE250 has integrated both AHB and APB bus and many periphals for application
+and product development.
+
+NX25-AE250
+=========
+
+NX25-AE250 is the SoC with AE250 hardcore CPU.
+
+Configurations
+==============
+
+CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT:
+ If you want to boot this system from SPI ROM and bypass e-bios (the
+ other boot loader on ROM). You should undefine CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
+ in "include/configs/nx25-ae250.h".
+
+Build and boot steps
+====================
+
+build:
+1. Prepare the toolchains and make sure the $PATH to toolchains is correct.
+2. Use `make nx25-ae250_defconfig` in u-boot root to build the image.
+
+Verification
+====================
+
+Target
+====================
+1. startup
+2. relocation
+3. timer driver
+4. uart driver
+5. mac driver
+6. mmc driver
+7. spi driver
+
+Steps
+====================
+1. Define CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT to build u-boot which is loaded via gdb from ram.
+2. Undefine CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT to build u-boot which is booted from spi rom.
+3. Ping a server by mac driver
+4. Scan sd card and copy u-boot image which is booted from flash to ram by sd driver.
+5. Burn this u-boot image to spi rom by spi driver
+6. Re-boot u-boot from spi flash with power off and power on.
