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. Add a RISC-V toolchain to your PATH
+
+2. Setup cross compilation environment variable:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      export CROSS_COMPILE=<riscv64 toolchain prefix>
+
+3. U-Boot for SpacemiT K3 SoC requires OpenSBI in-development generic
+platform object fw_dynamic.bin to be included in the Flattened Image
+Tree blob. OpenSBI may be first built as below:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      # Clone OpenSBI fork sources with K3 specific patches
+      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 there is no U-Boot SPL build target. It is required to use 
'FSBL.bin' vendor
+board support package SPL for DDR initialization and testing u-boot.itb. 
Please test with
+fastboot 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.
