+===================================
+
+Build U-Boot
+------------
+
+Please follow :doc:`Renesas 64-bit ARM SoC build environment setup <build-env-aarch64>`
+to correctly set up the build environment before attempting to build U-Boot.
+
+Clone up to date U-Boot source code and change directory into the
+newly cloned source directory:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ git clone https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot.git/
+    $ cd u-boot
+
+Configure U-Boot:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ make r8a779md_geist_defconfig
+
+Compile U-Boot:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ make
+
+To speed up build process, -jN option can be passed to make to start
+multiple jobs at the same time, this is beneficial especially on SMP
+systems. The following example starts up to number of CPUs in the
+system jobs, which is the recommended amount:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ make -j$(nproc)
+
+Install U-Boot
+--------------
+
+Please follow :doc:`Renesas R-Car Gen3 U-Boot installation <rcar-gen3-install>`
+to install U-Boot into SPI NOR.

+Renesas R-Car Gen3 U-Boot SPI NOR installation
+==============================================
+
+U-Boot can be installed on R-Car Gen3 systems into SPI NOR from U-Boot.
+
+.. note::
+
+    This update mechanism is only available in case the TFA has been built
+    with `RCAR_RPC_HYPERFLASH_LOCKED=0 SPD=none`.
+
+Install U-Boot into SPI NOR using write from U-Boot
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In order to install U-Boot using write into SPI NOR, first build U-Boot
+for this target and collect ``u-boot.bin`` build artifact. Then start the
+target, drop into U-Boot shell, and load the build artifact into DRAM at
+well known address:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    => tftp 0x50000000 u-boot.bin
+
+Finally, write U-Boot into SPI NOR:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    => sf probe && sf update 0x50000000 0x640000 $filesize
