+Poplar
+======
+
+Poplar is the first development board compliant with the 96Boards Enterprise
+Edition TV Platform specification.
+
+The board features the Hi3798C V200 with an integrated quad-core 64-bit
+Arm Cortex A53 processor and high performance Mali T720 GPU, making it capable
+of running any commercial set-top solution based on Linux or Android.
+
+It supports a premium user experience with up to H.265 HEVC decoding of 4K
+video at 60 frames per second.
+
+::
+
+ SOC Hisilicon Hi3798CV200
+ CPU Quad-core Arm Cortex-A53 64 bit
+ DRAM DDR3/3L/4 SDRAM interface, maximum 32-bit data width 2 GB
+ USB Two USB 2.0 ports One USB 3.0 ports
+ CONSOLE USB-micro port for console support
+ ETHERNET 1 GBe Ethernet
+ PCIE One PCIe 2.0 interfaces
+ JTAG 8-Pin JTAG
+ EXPANSION INTERFACE Linaro 96Boards Low Speed Expansion slot
+ DIMENSION Standard 160×120 mm 96Boards Enterprice Edition form factor
+ WIFI 802.11AC 2*2 with Bluetooth
+ CONNECTORS One connector for Smart Card One connector for TSI
+
+At the start of the boot sequence, the bootROM executes the so called l-loader
+binary whose main role is to change the processor state to 64bit mode. This
+must happen prior to invoking Trusted Firmware-A:
+
+::
+
+ l-loader --> Trusted Firmware-A --> u-boot
+
+How to build
+------------
+
+Code Locations
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Trusted Firmware-A:
+ `link <https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware>`__
+
+- l-loader:
+ `link <https://github.com/Linaro/poplar-l-loader.git>`__
+
+- u-boot:
+ `link <http://git.denx.de/u-boot.git>`__
+
+Build Procedure
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Fetch all the above 3 repositories into local host.
+ Make all the repositories in the same ${BUILD\_PATH}.
+
+- Prepare the AARCH64 toolchain.
+
+- Build u-boot using poplar_defconfig
+
+.. code:: bash
+
+ make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- poplar_defconfig
+ make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
+
+- Build atf providing the previously generated u-boot.bin as the BL33 image
+
+.. code:: bash
+
+ make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- all fip SPD=none PLAT=poplar
+ BL33=u-boot.bin
+
+- Build l-loader (generated the final fastboot.bin)
+ 1. copy the atf generated files fip.bin and bl1.bin to l-loader/atf/
+ 2. export ARM_TRUSTED_FIRMWARE=${ATF_SOURCE_PATH)
+ 3. make
+
+Install Procedure
+-----------------
+
+- Copy l-loader/fastboot.bin to a FAT partition on a USB pen drive.
+
+- Plug the USB pen drive to any of the USB2 ports
+
+- Power the board while keeping S3 pressed (usb_boot)
+
+The system will boot into a u-boot shell which you can then use to write the
+working firmware to eMMC.
