Intel Galileo instructions for bare mode:
This is also tested on Intel Crown Bay board with a PCIe graphics card, booting
SeaBIOS then chain-loading a GRUB on a USB drive, then Linux kernel finally.
+If you are using Intel Integrated Graphics Device (IGD) as the primary display
+device on your board, SeaBIOS needs to be patched manually to get its VGA ROM
+loaded and run by SeaBIOS. SeaBIOS locates VGA ROM via the PCI expansion ROM
+register, but IGD device does not have its VGA ROM mapped by this register.
+Its VGA ROM is packaged as part of u-boot.rom at a configurable flash address
+which is unknown to SeaBIOS. An example patch is needed for SeaBIOS below:

Development Flow
----------------
to U-Boot. This should go at the top of each file and list the coreboot
filename where the code originated.
+Debugging ACPI issues with Windows:
+
+Windows might cache system information and only detect ACPI changes if you
+modify the ACPI table versions. So tweak them liberally when debugging ACPI
+issues with Windows.
+
+ACPI Support Status
+-------------------
+Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) [16] aims to establish
+industry-standard interfaces enabling OS-directed configuration, power
+management, and thermal management of mobile, desktop, and server platforms.
+
+Linux can boot without ACPI with "acpi=off" command line parameter, but
+with ACPI the kernel gains the capabilities to handle power management.
+For Windows, ACPI is a must-have firmware feature since Windows Vista.
+CONFIG_GENERATE_ACPI_TABLE is the config option to turn on ACPI support in
+U-Boot. This requires Intel ACPI compiler to be installed on your host to
+compile ACPI DSDT table written in ASL format to AML format. You can get
+the compiler via "apt-get install iasl" if you are on Ubuntu or download
+the source from [17] to compile one by yourself.
+
+Current ACPI support in U-Boot is not complete. More features will be added
+in the future. The status as of today is:
+
+ * Support generating RSDT, XSDT, FACS, FADT, MADT, MCFG tables.
+ * Support one static DSDT table only, compiled by Intel ACPI compiler.
+ * Support S0/S5, reboot and shutdown from OS.
+ * Support booting a pre-installed Ubuntu distribution via 'zboot' command.
+ * Support installing and booting Ubuntu 14.04 (or above) from U-Boot with
+ the help of SeaBIOS using legacy interface (non-UEFI mode).
+ * Support installing and booting Windows 8.1/10 from U-Boot with the help
+ of SeaBIOS using legacy interface (non-UEFI mode).
+ * Support ACPI interrupts with SCI only.
+
+Features not supported so far (to make it a complete ACPI solution):
+ * S3 (Suspend to RAM), S4 (Suspend to Disk).
+
+Features that are optional:
+ * Dynamic AML bytecodes insertion at run-time. We may need this to support
+ SSDT table generation and DSDT fix up.
+ * SMI support. Since U-Boot is a modern bootloader, we don't want to bring
+ those legacy stuff into U-Boot. ACPI spec allows a system that does not
+ support SMI (a legacy-free system).
+
+ACPI was initially enabled on BayTrail based boards. Testing was done by booting
+a pre-installed Ubuntu 14.04 from a SATA drive. Installing Ubuntu 14.04 and
+Windows 8.1/10 to a SATA drive and booting from there is also tested. Most
+devices seem to work correctly and the board can respond a reboot/shutdown
+command from the OS.
+
+For other platform boards, ACPI support status can be checked by examining their
+board defconfig files to see if CONFIG_GENERATE_ACPI_TABLE is set to y.
+
+EFI Support
+-----------
+U-Boot supports booting as a 32-bit or 64-bit EFI payload, e.g. with UEFI.
+This is enabled with CONFIG_EFI_STUB. U-Boot can also run as an EFI
+application, with CONFIG_EFI_APP. The CONFIG_EFI_LOADER option, where U-Booot
+provides an EFI environment to the kernel (i.e. replaces UEFI completely but
+provides the same EFI run-time services) is not currently supported on x86.
+
+See README.efi for details of EFI support in U-Boot.
+
+64-bit Support
+--------------
+U-Boot supports booting a 64-bit kernel directly and is able to change to
+64-bit mode to do so. It also supports (with CONFIG_EFI_STUB) booting from
+both 32-bit and 64-bit UEFI. However, U-Boot itself is currently always built
+in 32-bit mode. Some access to the full memory range is provided with
+arch_phys_memset().
+
+The development work to make U-Boot itself run in 64-bit mode has not yet
+been attempted. The best approach would likely be to build a 32-bit SPL
+image for U-Boot, with CONFIG_SPL_BUILD. This could then handle the early CPU
+init in 16-bit and 32-bit mode, running the FSP and any other binaries that
+are needed. Then it could change to 64-bit model and jump to U-Boot proper.
+
+Given U-Boot's extensive 64-bit support this has not been a high priority,
+but it would be a nice addition.
