+Sandbox SPI/SPI Flash Implementation
+====================================
+
+U-Boot supports SPI and SPI flash emuation in sandbox. This must be enabled
+using the --spi_sf paramter when starting U-Boot.
+
+For example:
+
+$ make O=sandbox sandbox_config
+$ make O=sandbox
+$ ./sandbox/u-boot --spi_sf 0:0:W25Q128:b/chromeos_peach/out/image.bin
+
+The four parameters to spi_sf are:
+
+   SPI bus number (typically 0)
+   SPI chip select number (typically 0)
+   SPI chip to emulate
+   File containing emulated data
+
+Supported chips are W25Q16 (2MB), W25Q32 (4MB) and W25Q128 (16MB). Once
+U-Boot it started you can use 'sf' commands as normal. For example:
+
+$ ./b/sandbox/u-boot --spi_sf 0:0:W25Q128:b/chromeos_peach/out/image.bin \
+	-c "sf probe; sf test 0 100000; sf read 0 1000 1000; \
+		sf erase 1000 1000; sf write 0 1000 1000"

+
+Since the SPI bus is fully implemented as well as the SPI flash connected to
+it, you can also use low-level SPI commands to access the flash. For example
+this reads the device ID from the emulated chip:
+
+=> sspi 0 32 9f
