+RISC-V Server Platform Reference board (``riscv-server-ref``)
+=============================================================
+
+The RISC-V Server Platform specification `spec`_ defines a standardized
+set of hardware and software capabilities that portable system software,
+such as OS and hypervisors, can rely on being present in a RISC-V server
+platform.  This machine aims to emulate this specification, providing
+an environment for firmware/OS development and testing.
+
+`spec`_ is version 1.0 at the introduction of this board.  New spec versions
+might trigger a revision of the emulation itself, which will strive to always
+match the latest version available.  In case the emulation changes aren't
+backwards compatible we'll introduce a versioning scheme, probably via
+a machine property, to allow older SW to run with older spec versions.
+
+The main features included in the riscv-server-ref board are:
+
+* IOMMU platform device (riscv-iommu-sys)
+* AIA
+* PCIe AHCI
+* PCIe NIC
+* No virtio mmio bus
+* No fw_cfg device
+* No ACPI table
+* Minimal device tree nodes
+
+There are multiple ways of using this reference board.  The spec compliant way
+is using an EDK2 image and a TPM device.  The board was tested with the TPM
+device ``tpm-tis`` that uses the external ``swtpm`` emulator.  More info on how
+to use this device can be found in `tpm`_.
+
+To use this board coupled with the tpm-tis device, first start the ``swtpm``
+process in a shell (the ``log`` parameter is optional):
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ mkdir /tmp/mytpm1
+    $ swtpm socket --tpmstate dir=/tmp/mytpm1 \
+            --ctrl type=unixio,path=/tmp/mytpm1/swtpm-sock \
+            --tpm2 \
+            --log level=20
+
+And then start QEMU with:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ qemu-system-riscv64 -M riscv-server-ref \
+     -bios fw_dynamic.bin \
+     -kernel EDK2.fd \
+     -drive file=nvme_disk.ext2,format=raw,id=hd0,if=none \
+     -device ahci,id=ahci \
+     -device ide-hd,drive=hd0,bus=ahci.0 \
+     -chardev socket,id=chrtpm,path=/tmp/mytpm1/swtpm-sock \
+     -tpmdev emulator,id=tpm0,chardev=chrtpm \
+     -device tpm-tis-device,tpmdev=tpm0 \
+     -nographic
