Add documentation for how to test the mainline U-Boot on SpacemiT
K3 Pico-ITX board, currently it still rely on using vendor FSBL.bin
file to initialize DDR and boot U-Boot proper, and the opensbi
firmware is built from an on-going mainline branch.

+SpacemiT K3 Pico-ITX
+====================
+
+Building
+~~~~~~~~
+1. Install the SpacemiT riscv cross compile toolchain_, or skip it if riscv 
toolchain is installed.
+
+.. _toolchain: https://archive.spacemit.com/toolchain/
+
+2. Setup cross compilation environment variable:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   export CROSS_COMPILE=<riscv64 toolchain prefix, e.g 
/opt/spacemit/bin/riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu->
+
+3. Before building U-Boot, OpenSBI should be built first. OpenSBI can be
+built for SpacemiT K1 SoC as below:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   git clone https://github.com/spacemit-com/opensbi-upstream opensbi
+   cd opensbi
+   make PLATFORM=generic
+
+4. Then build U-Boot as following:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   cd <U-Boot-dir>
+   make spacemit_k3_defconfig
+   make OPENSBI=<OpenSBI-dir>/build/platform/generic/firmware/fw_dynamic.bin
+
+This will generate u-boot.itb
+
+Testing
+~~~~~~~
+Currently, in this stage, the U-Boot SPL isn't ready, and has no ddr 
initialization code
+Thus please test with fasboot command via USB download.
+
+First, retrieve Bianbu Linux image from archive_ and extract the FSBL.bin 
firmware.
+
+Second, hold the FEL button of Pico-ITX board, then press reset button and 
release it .
+The board will enter into firmware download mode.
+

+   fastboot continue
+   sleep 10
+   fastboot stage u-boot.itb
