including information about booting, boot image generation, and
networking.

 Qemu Xilinx ZynqMP
 ==================
 
-This BSP supports two variants, `xilinx-zynqmp-ilp32-qemu` and
-`xilinx-zynqmp-lp64-qemu`. The basic hardware initialization is performed by the
-BSP. These BSPs support the GICv2 interrupt controller present in all ZynqMP
-systems.
+This BSP supports four variants: `xilinx-zynqmp-ilp32-qemu`,
+`xilinx-zynqmp-lp64-qemu`, `xilinx-zynqmp-ilp32-zu3eg`, and
+`xilinx-zynqmp-lp64-zu3eg`. The basic hardware initialization is performed by
+the BSP. These BSPs support the GICv2 interrupt controller present in all ZynqMP
+systems. The zu3eg BSPs have also been tested to be fully functional on zu2cg
+boards and should also work on any other ZynqMP chip variant since the
+Processing Subsystem (PS) does not vary among chip variants other than the
+number of CPU cores available.
 
-Boot via ELF
+Boot on QEMU
 ------------
 The executable image is booted by Qemu in ELF format.
 
+Boot on ZynqMP Hardware
+-----------------------
+
+On ZynqMP hardware, RTEMS can be started at EL1, EL2, or EL3 by u-boot or
+directly as part of BOOT.bin. Regardless of the exception level at boot, RTEMS
+will drop to EL1 for execution. For quick turnaround during testing, it is
+recommended to use the u-boot BOOT.bin that comes with the PetaLinux prebuilts
+for the board in question.
+
+Hardware Boot Image Generation
+------------------------------
+
+RTEMS expects basic hardware initialization to be performed by ARM Trusted
+Firmware (ATF) as well as the services it provides, so this must be included
+when generating a direct-boot RTEMS BOOT.bin.
+
+When booting via u-boot, RTEMS must be packaged into a u-boot image or booted
+as a raw binary since u-boot does not currently support ELF64 which is required
+for AArch64 ELF binaries.

+
+Network Configuration
+---------------------
+
+When used with LibBSD, these BSP variants support networking via the four
+Cadence GEM instances present on all ZynqMP hardware variants. These are enabled
+using config.inc in LibBSD by setting any of the following constants to 1:
+NET_CFG_ZYNQMP_USE_CGEM0 = 1
+NET_CFG_ZYNQMP_USE_CGEM1 = 1
+NET_CFG_ZYNQMP_USE_CGEM2 = 1
+NET_CFG_ZYNQMP_USE_CGEM3 = 1
+
+Most ZynqMP dev boards use CGEM3. None of the interfaces are enabled by default.
