+The Allwinner A64/H5/H6 firmware consists of several parts: U-Boot's SPL,
+ARM Trusted Firmware (ATF), optional System Control Processor (SCP) firmware
+(e.g. Crust), and the U-Boot proper.
+
+The SPL will load all of the other firmware binaries into RAM, along with the
+right device tree blob (.dtb), and will pass execution to ATF (in EL3). If SCP
+firmware was loaded, ATF will power on the SCP and wait for it to boot.
+ATF will then drop into U-Boot proper (in EL2).

+As the ATF binary and SCP firmware will become part of the U-Boot image file,

  ARM Trusted Firmware (ATF)
 ----------------------------
@@ -53,6 +61,27 @@ As sometimes the ATF build process is a bit picky about the toolchain used,
 or if you can't be bothered with building ATF, there are known working
 binaries in the firmware repository[3], purely for convenience reasons.
 
+ SCP firmware (Crust)
+----------------------
+SCP firmware is responsible for implementing system suspend/resume, and (on
+boards without a PMIC) soft poweroff/on. ATF contains fallback code for CPU
+power control, so SCP firmware is optional if you don't need either of these
+features. It runs on the AR100, with is an or1k CPU, not ARM, so it needs a
+different cross toolchain.
+
+There is one SCP firmware implementation currently available, Crust:
+$ git clone https://github.com/crust-firmware/crust
+$ cd crust
+$ export CROSS_COMPILE=or1k-linux-musl-
+$ make pine64_plus_defconfig
+$ make scp
+
+The same configuration generally works on any board with the same SoC (A64, H5,
+or H6), so if there is no config for your board, use one for a similar board.
+
+Like for ATF, U-Boot finds the SCP firmware binary via an environment variable:
+$ export SCP=/src/crust/build/scp/scp.bin
+
  SPL/U-Boot
 ------------
 Both U-Boot proper and the SPL are using the 64-bit mode. As the boot ROM
