+
+Xilinx ZynqMP RPU
+=================
+
+This BSP supports the Cortex-R5 processor on the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC
+platform. Basic hardware initialization is performed by the Cortex-R5 FSBL and
+the BSP. This BSP supports the GICv2 interrupt controller available to the
+Cortex-R5 subsystem. Since the Cortex-R5 subsystem only varies in speed, this
+BSP should be functional across all chip variants as well as on Xilinx's QEMU
+branch. SMP operation is not currently supported.
+
+Clock Driver
+------------
+
+The clock driver uses one of the available triple timer counters (TTCs) as the
+timer interrupt source.
+
+Console Driver
+--------------
+
+The console driver supports the default Qemu emulated ARM PL011 PrimeCell UART
+as well as the physical ARM PL011 PrimeCell UART in the ZynqMP hardware.
+
+Boot on ZynqMP Hardware
+-----------------------
+
+On the ZynqMP RPU, RTEMS can be started by Cortes-R5 u-boot, Cortex-A53 u-boot,
+via JTAG, or directly as part of BOOT.bin. For quick turnaround during testing,
+it is recommended to use Cortex-A53 u-boot to avoid repeated BOOT.bin
+generation since the provided Cortex-R5 u-boot is highly limited and has no
+network or MMC/SD access.
+
+Note that if the RPU image is started by the Cortex-A53 u-boot, the program
+sections located at ZYNQMP_RPU_RAM_INT_0_ORIGIN and ZYNQMP_RPU_RAM_INT_1_ORIGIN
+must be manually relocated from DDR to TCM since the TCMs are not directly
+available to the Cortex-A53 cores at their Cortex-R5 internal addresses. This
+can be accomplished by disabling dcache in u-boot and using u-boot's "cp"
+command. Once this is done, the program can be started at 0x0 by using u-boot's
+"cpu" command to first disable core 4 and then release it in split mode.
+
+Hardware Boot Image Generation
+------------------------------
+
+When generating BOOT.bin from components, the BIF file should include at least
+entries for the Cortex-R5 FSBL ([bootloader,destination_cpu=r5-0]) and the
+Cortex-R5 application ([destination_cpu=r5-0]). The Cortex-R5 application should
+be either a u-boot or RTEMS ELF binary. The Cortex-R5 u-boot binary can be
+obtained by building it from Xilinx's u-boot repository. The Cortex-R5 FSBL can
+be obtained setting up an appropriate platform project in Xilinx's current
+development system.
+
+Boot on QEMU
+------------
+The executable image is booted by Qemu in ELF format.
+
+Running Executables on QEMU
+---------------------------
+
+Xilinx's qemu-devicetrees repository must be used in conjunction with the Xilinx
+QEMU available via RSB. Executables generated by this BSP can be run using the
+following command:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ qemu-system-aarch64 -no-reboot -nographic -M arm-generic-fdt -serial null \
+ -serial mon:stdio -device loader,file=example.exe,cpu-num=4 \
+ -device loader,addr=0xff5e023c,data=0x80088fde,data-len=4 \
+ -device loader,addr=0xff9a0000,data=0x80000218,data-len=4 \
+ -hw-dtb /xlnx-qemu-devtrees-path/LATEST/SINGLE_ARCH/board-zynqmp-zcu102.dtb \
+ -m 4096 -display none
+
+Debugging Executables on QEMU
+-----------------------------
+
+Debugging the RPU cores under QEMU presents unique challenges due to requiring
+the AArch64 QEMU to emulate the entire processing subsystem. Debugging requires
+a multi-arch GDB which can be created by adding "--enable-targets=all" to the
+normal GDB configure line and then building as normal.
+
+To attach to the RPU core once QEMU is started with "-s -S", The following steps
+are required:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ aarch64-rtems6-gdb
+ (gdb) tar ext :1234
+ (gdb) add-inferior
+ (gdb) inferior 2
+ (gdb) file example.exe
+ (gdb) attach 2
