	The upstream U-Boot/QEMU have been using generic platform for SiFive HiFive Unleashed board for some time. Let's document sifive_fu540 as one of the supported targets for "generic" platform.

Generic Platform
 | 
						|
================
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The **Generic** platform is a flattened device tree (FDT) based platform
 | 
						|
where all platform specific functionality is provided based on FDT passed
 | 
						|
by previous booting stage. The **Generic** platform allows us to use same
 | 
						|
OpenSBI firmware binaries on various emulators, simulators, FPGAs, and
 | 
						|
boards.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
By default, the generic FDT platform makes following assumptions:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. platform FW_TEXT_START is 0x80000000
 | 
						|
2. platform features are default
 | 
						|
3. platform stack size is default
 | 
						|
4. platform has no quirks or work-arounds
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The above assumptions (except 1) can be overridden by adding special platform
 | 
						|
callbacks which will be called based on FDT root node compatible string.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Users of the generic FDT platform will have to ensure that:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Various FDT based drivers under lib/utils directory are upto date
 | 
						|
   based on their platform requirements
 | 
						|
2. The FDT passed by previous booting stage has DT compatible strings and
 | 
						|
   DT properties in sync with the FDT based drivers under lib/utils directory
 | 
						|
3. The FDT must have "stdout-path" DT property in the "/chosen" DT node when
 | 
						|
   a platform has multiple serial ports or consoles
 | 
						|
4. On multi-HART platform, the FDT must have a DT node for IPI device and
 | 
						|
   lib/utils/ipi directory must have corresponding FDT based IPI driver
 | 
						|
5. The FDT must have a DT node for timer device and lib/utils/timer directory
 | 
						|
   must have corresponding FDT based timer driver
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To build the platform-specific library and firmware images, provide the
 | 
						|
*PLATFORM=generic* parameter to the top level `make` command.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For custom FW_TEXT_START, we can build the platform-specific library and
 | 
						|
firmware images by passing *PLATFORM=generic FW_TEXT_START=<custom_text_start>*
 | 
						|
parameter to the top level `make` command.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Platform Options
 | 
						|
----------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The *Generic* platform does not have any platform-specific options.
 | 
						|
