+U-Boot for Apple Silicon Macs
+=============================
+
+Allows Apple Silicon Macs to boot U-Boot via the m1n1 bootloader
+developed by the Asahi Linux project.  At this point the machines with
+the following SoCs work:
+
+ - Apple M1 SoC
+
+On these SoCs the following hardware is supported:
+
+ - S5L serial port
+ - Framebuffer
+ - USB 3.1 Type-C ports
+
+Device trees are currently provided for the M1 Mac mini (2020, J274)
+and M1 MacBook Pro 13" (2020, J293).  The M1 MacBook Air (2020) is
+expected to work with the J293 device tree.  The M1 iMac (2021) may
+work with the J274 device tree.
+
+Building U-Boot
+---------------
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf-
+    $ make apple_m1_defconfig
+    $ make
+
+This will build ``u-boot-nodtb.bin`` as well as devices trees for some
+of the supported machines.  These device trees can be found in the
+``arch/arm/dts`` subdirectory of your build.
+
+Image creation
+--------------
+
+In order to run U-Boot on an Apple Silicon Mac, U-Boot has to be used
+as a payload for the m1n1 bootloader.  Instructions for building m1n1
+can be found here:
+
+    https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/SW%3Am1n1
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ cat m1n1.macho t8103-j274.dtb u-boot-nodtb.bin > u-boot.macho
+
+This uses ``u-boot-nodtb.bin`` as the device tree is passed to U-Boot
+by m1n1 after making some adjustments.
+
+Image installation
+------------------
+
+Instructions on how to install U-Boot on your Mac can be found at:
+
+    https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/Developer-Quickstart
+
+Just replace ``m1n1.macho`` with ``u-boot.macho`` in the instructions.
