+## APCB setup
+
+APCBs are used to provide the PSP with SPD information and optionally a set of
+GPIOs to use for selecting which SPD to load.
+
+### Prebuilt
+The picasso `Makefile` expects APCBs to be located in
+`3rdparty/blobs/mainboard/$(MAINBOARDDIR)`. If you have a pre-built binary just
+add the following to your mainboard's Makefile.
+
+```
+# i.e., 3rdparty/blobs/mainboard/amd/mandolin/APCB_mandolin.bin
+APCB_SOURCES = mandolin
+```
+
+### Generating APCBs
+If you have a template APCB file, the `apcb_edit` tool can be used to inject the
+SPD and GPIOs used to select the correct slot. Entries should match this
+pattern `{NAME}_x{1,2}`. There should be a matching SPD hex file in
+`SPD_SOURCES_DIR` matching the pattern `{NAME}.spd.hex`.
+The `_x{1,2}` suffix denotes single or dual channel. Up to 16 slots can be used.
+If a slot is empty, the special empty keyword can be used. This will generate
+an APCB with an empty SPD.
+
+```
+APCB_SOURCES = hynix-HMA851S6CJR6N-VK_x1 # 0b0000
+APCB_SOURCES += hynix-HMAA1GS6CMR6N-VK_x2 # 0b0001
+APCB_SOURCES += empty # 0b0010
+APCB_SOURCES += samsung-K4A8G165WC-BCWE_x1 # 0b0011
+```
+
+#### APCB Board ID GPIO configuration.
+The GPIOs determine which memory SPD will be used during boot.
+```
+# APCB_BOARD_ID_GPIO[0-3] = GPIO_NUMBER GPIO_IO_MUX GPIO_BANK_CTL
+# GPIO_NUMBER: FCH GPIO number
+# GPIO_IO_MUX: Value write to IOMUX to configure this GPIO
+# GPIO_BANK_CTL: Value write to GPIOBankCtl[23:16] to configure this GPIO
+
+APCB_BOARD_ID_GPIO0 = 121 1 0
+APCB_BOARD_ID_GPIO1 = 120 1 0
+APCB_BOARD_ID_GPIO2 = 131 3 0
+APCB_BOARD_ID_GPIO3 = 116 1 0
+```
