+Introduction to OpenPOWER Firmware
+==================================
+
+The ``op-build`` project constructs a host firmware image for OpenPOWER
+machines.
+
+Firmware Components
+-------------------
+
+Buildroot_
+  We use http://buildroot.net/ as the build system for assembling a firmware
+  image. `op-build` is a "Buildroot overlay". We build a kernel and initramfs
+  using buildroot to run the Petitboot boot loader in. We maintain a branch
+  with a minimum number of patches on top of upstream buildroot.
+op-build_
+  A buildroot overlay that assembles OpenPOWER Firmware images.
+SBE_
+  the Self Boot Engine is the first unit inside the POWER processor to start
+  executing. It's job is to set up a core and load Hostboot.
+Hostboot_
+  Low level system boot firmware. It brings up CPU cores, the OCC, Memory
+  and hands control over to OPAL (skiboot)
+OCC_
+  The On Chip Controller is responsible for thermal limits and frequency
+  management.
+OPAL
+  The OpenPOWER Abstraction Layer, provided by skiboot
+skiboot_
+  skiboot implements OPAL (the OpenPOWER Abstraction Layer). Skiboot is
+  boot and runtime firmware and is responsible for bringing up PCI and
+  providing runtime abstractions to the running OS.
+Linux_
+  Once skiboot has finished setting up the machine, it hands control over
+  to a Linux kernel. This kernel provides device drivers and userspace to
+  run the bootloader, Petitboot. We maintain our own branch with a minimal
+  number of patches on top of the latest upstream stable release.
+Petitboot_
+  The bootloader. It is a normal user-space process running on Linux that
+  searches the system for disks and network devices that it can boot the
+  OS from.
+HCODE_
+  Firmware for the power management PPE. Implements heavy lifting for deeper
+  STOP states.

+Introductory Videos
+-------------------
+
+There are a number of good recorded presentations from various conferences
+around the world that have overviews and deep dives into various parts of
+the firmware stack.
+
+Here, we present technical presentations that may be useful in learning
+about topics relevant to OpenPOWER firmware development.
