-Native Execution of U-Boot
-==========================
-
-The 'sandbox' architecture is designed to allow U-Boot to run under Linux on
-almost any hardware. To achieve this it builds U-Boot (so far as possible)
-as a normal C application with a main() and normal C libraries.
-
-All of U-Boot's architecture-specific code therefore cannot be built as part
-of the sandbox U-Boot. The purpose of running U-Boot under Linux is to test
-all the generic code, not specific to any one architecture. The idea is to
-create unit tests which we can run to test this upper level code.
-
-CONFIG_SANDBOX is defined when building a native board.
-
-The chosen vendor and board names are also 'sandbox', so there is a single
-board in board/sandbox/sandbox.
-
-CONFIG_SANDBOX_BIG_ENDIAN should be defined when running on big-endian
-machines.
-
-Note that standalone/API support is not available at present.
-
-The serial driver is a very simple implementation which reads and writes to
-the console. It does not set the terminal into raw mode, so cursor keys and
-history will not work yet.
-

-Tests
------
-
-So far we have no tests, but when we do these will be documented here.
