+Introduction
+============
+
+DeveloperBox is a certified 96boards Enterprise Edition board. The board/SoC has: -
+
+* Socionext SC2A11 24-cores ARM Cortex-A53 on tbe Mini-ATX form factor motherboard
+* 4 DIMM slots (4GB DDR4-2400 UDIMM shipped by default)
+* 1 4xPCIe Gen2 slot and 2 1xPCIe Gen2 slots
+ (1x slots are connected via PCIe bridge chip)
+* 4 USB-3.0 ports
+* 2 SATA ports
+* 1 GbE network port
+* 1 USB-UART serial port (micro USB)
+* 64MB SPI NOR Flash
+* 8GB eMMC Flash Storage
+* 96boards LS connector
+
+The DeveloperBox schematic can be found here: -
+https://www.96boards.org/documentation/enterprise/developerbox/hardware-docs/mzsc2am_v03_20180115_a.pdf
+
+And the other documents can be found here: -
+https://www.96boards.org/documentation/enterprise/developerbox/
+
+
+Currently, the U-Boot port supports: -
+
+* USB
+* eMMC
+* SPI-NOR
+* SATA
+* GbE
+
+The DeveloperBox boots the TF-A and EDK2 as a main bootloader by default.
+The DeveloperBox U-Boot port will replace the EDK2 and boot from TF-A as
+BL33, but no need to combine with it.
+
+Compile from source
+===================
+
+You can build U-Boot without any additinal source code.::
+
+ cd u-boot
+ export ARCH=arm64
+ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
+ make SynQuacer_defconfig
+ make -j `noproc`
+
+Then, expand the binary to 1MB for preparing flash.::
+
+ cp u-boot.bin SPI_NOR_UBOOT.fd
+ truncate -s 1M SPI_NOR_UBOOT.fd
+
+Installation
+============
+
+You can install the SNI_NOR_UBOOT.fd via NOR flash writer.
+
+Flashing the U-Boot image on DeveloperBox requires a 96boards UART mezzanine or other mezzanine which can connect to LS-UART0 port.
+Connect USB cable from host to the LS-UART0 and set DSW2-7 to ON, and turn the board on again. The flash writer program will be started automatically; don’t forget to turn the DSW2-7 off again after flashing.
+
+*!!CAUTION!! If you failed to write the U-Boot image on wrong address, the board can be bricked. See below page if you need to recover the bricked board. See the following page for more detail*
+
+https://www.96boards.org/documentation/enterprise/developerbox/installation/board-recovery.md.html
+
+When the serial flasher is running correctly is will show the following boot messages shown via LS-UART0::
+
+
+ /*------------------------------------------*/
+ /* SC2A11 "SynQuacer" series Flash writer */
+ /* */
+ /* Version: cd254ac */
+ /* Build: 12/15/17 11:25:45 */
+ /*------------------------------------------*/
+
+ Command Input >
+
+Once the flasher tool is running we are ready flash the UEFI image::
+
+ flash rawwrite 200000 100000
+ >> Send SPI_NOR_UBOOT.fd via XMODEM (Control-A S in minicom) <<
+
+*!!NOTE!! The flasher command parameter is different from the command for board recovery. U-Boot uses the offset 200000 (2-five-0, 2M in hex) and the size 100000 (1-five-0, 1M in hex).*
+
+After transferring the SPI_NOR_UBOOT.fd, turn off the DSW2-7 and reset the board.
