+# Cavium's BDK
+
+## BDK
+A part of Cavium's BDK can be found in '''src/vendorcode/cavium/bdk'''.
+It does the **DRAM init** in romstage and the **PCIe**, **QLM**, **SLI**,
+**PHY**, **BGX**, **SATA** init in ramstage.
+
+## Devicetree
+The BDK does use it's own devicetree, as coreboot's devicetree isn't
+compatible. The devicetree stores key-value pairs (see **bdk-devicetree.h**
+for implementation details), where the key and the value are stored as strings.
+
+The key-value pairs must be advertised in romstage and ramstage using the
+'''bdk_config_set_fdt()''' method.
+
+The tool '''util/cavium/devicetree_convert.py''' can be used to convert a
+devicetree to a key-value array.
+
+## Modifications
+
+* The BDK has been modified to compile under coreboot's toolchain.
+* Removed FDT devicetree support.
+* Dropped files that aren't required for SoC bringup
+* Added Kconfig values for verbose console output
+
+## Debugging
+
+You can enable verbose console output in *menuconfig*:
+
+Go to **Chipset**, **BDK** and enable one or multiple stages.
