+U-Boot for Radxa Zero
+=====================
+
+Radxa Zero is a small form factor SBC based on the Amlogic S905Y2
+chipset that ships in a number of RAM/eMMC configurations:
+
+Boards with 512MB/1GB LPDDR4 RAM have no eMMC storage and BCM43436
+wireless (2.4GHz b/g/n) while 2GB/4GB boards have 8/16/32/64/128GB
+eMMC storage and BCM4345 wireless (2.4/5GHz a/b/g/n/ac).
+
+- Amlogic S905Y2 quad-core Cortex-A53
+- Mali G31-MP2 GPU
+- HDMI 2.1 output (micro)
+- 1x USB 2.0 port - Type C (OTG)
+- 1x USB 3.0 port - Type C (Host)
+- 1x micro SD Card slot
+- 40 Pin GPIO header
+
+Schematics are available on the manufacturer website:

+
+U-Boot compilation
+------------------
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf-
+ $ make radxa-zero_defconfig
+ $ make
+
+Image creation
+--------------
+
+Amlogic does not provide sources for the firmware and for tools needed
+to create the bootloader image, so it is necessary to obtain them from
+git trees published by the board vendor:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ git clone -b radxa-zero-v2021.07 https://github.com/radxa/u-boot.git
+ $ git clone https://github.com/radxa/fip.git
+
+ $ sudo apt-get install -y gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu device-tree-compiler libncurses5 libncurses5-dev
+ $ sudo apt-get install -y bc python dosfstools flex build-essential libssl-dev mtools
+
+ $ wget https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Files/downloads/gnu-a/10.3-2021.07/binrel/gcc-arm-10.3-2021.07-x86_64-aarch64-none-elf.tar.xz
+ $ sudo tar xvf gcc-arm-10.3-2021.07-x86_64-aarch64-none-elf.tar.xz -C /opt
+
+ $ export CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/gcc-arm-10.2-2020.11-x86_64-aarch64-none-elf/bin/aarch64-none-elf-
+ $ export ARCH=arm
+ $ cd u-boot
+ $ make radxa-zero_defconfig
+ $ make
+
+ $ cp u-boot.bin ../fip/radxa-zero/bl33.bin
+ $ cd ../fip/radxa-zero
+ $ make
+
+This will generate:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ u-boot.bin u-boot.bin.sd.bin u-boot.bin.usb.bl2 u-boot.bin.usb.tpl
+
+Then write the image to SD with:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ DEV=/dev/your_sd_device
+ $ dd if=fip/u-boot.bin.sd.bin of=$DEV conv=fsync,notrunc bs=512 skip=1 seek=1
+ $ dd if=fip/u-boot.bin.sd.bin of=$DEV conv=fsync,notrunc bs=1 count=444
