+Crown Bay CRB
+=============
+
+U-Boot support of Intel `Crown Bay`_ board relies on a binary blob called
+Firmware Support Package (`FSP`_) to perform all the necessary initialization
+steps as documented in the BIOS Writer Guide, including initialization of the
+CPU, memory controller, chipset and certain bus interfaces.
+
+Download the Intel FSP for Atom E6xx series and Platform Controller Hub EG20T,
+install it on your host and locate the FSP binary blob. Note this platform
+also requires a Chipset Micro Code (CMC) state machine binary to be present in
+the SPI flash where u-boot.rom resides, and this CMC binary blob can be found
+in this FSP package too.
+
+ * ./FSP/QUEENSBAY_FSP_GOLD_001_20-DECEMBER-2013.fd
+ * ./Microcode/C0_22211.BIN
+
+Rename the first one to fsp.bin and second one to cmc.bin and put them in the
+board directory.
+
+Note the FSP release version 001 has a bug which could cause random endless
+loop during the FspInit call. This bug was published by Intel although Intel
+did not describe any details. We need manually apply the patch to the FSP
+binary using any hex editor (eg: bvi). Go to the offset 0x1fcd8 of the FSP
+binary, change the following five bytes values from orginally E8 42 FF FF FF
+to B8 00 80 0B 00.
+
+As for the video ROM, you need manually extract it from the Intel provided
+BIOS for Crown Bay `here`_, using the AMI `MMTool`_. Check PCI option
+ROM ID 8086:4108, extract and save it as vga.bin in the board directory.
+
+Now you can build U-Boot and obtain u-boot.rom::
+
+ $ make crownbay_defconfig
+ $ make all
