Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Documentation: openrisc: Updates to README

Update the OpenRISC readme to provide some more up-to-date information
on how to get started with OpenRISC.  This includes:

 - remove references to southpole who no longer are consulting for
   OpenRISC (confirmed with Jonas)
 - suggested QEMU instead of the old or1ksim as QEMU is well supported
 - include instructions on how to get an FPGA board running

 toolchain and, perhaps, the architectural simulator.  Steps to get these bits
 in place are outlined here.
 
-1)  The toolchain can be obtained from openrisc.io.  Instructions for building
-a toolchain can be found at:
+1) Toolchain

+Toolchain binaries can be obtained from openrisc.io or our github releases page.
+Instructions for building the different toolchains can be found on openrisc.io

+2) Building
 
-2) or1ksim (optional)
+Build the Linux kernel as usual
 
-or1ksim is the architectural simulator which will allow you to actually run
-your OpenRISC Linux kernel if you don't have an OpenRISC processor at hand.
+	make ARCH=openrisc defconfig
+	make ARCH=openrisc
 
-	git clone https://github.com/openrisc/or1ksim.git
+3) Running on FPGA (optional)
 
-	cd or1ksim
-	./configure --prefix=$OPENRISC_PREFIX
-	make
-	make install
+The OpenRISC community typically uses FuseSoC to manage building and programming
+an SoC into an FPGA.  The below is an example of programming a De0 Nano
+development board with the OpenRISC SoC.  During the build FPGA RTL is code
+downloaded from the FuseSoC IP cores repository and built using the FPGA vendor
+tools.  Binaries are loaded onto the board with openocd.
 
-3)  Linux kernel
+	git clone https://github.com/olofk/fusesoc

-4)  Run in architectural simulator
+4) Running on a Simulator (optional)
 
-Grab the or1ksim platform configuration file (from the or1ksim source) and
-together with your freshly built vmlinux, run your kernel with the following
-incantation:
+QEMU is a processor emulator which we recommend for simulating the OpenRISC
+platform.  Please follow the OpenRISC instructions on the QEMU website to get
+Linux running on QEMU.  You can build QEMU yourself, but your Linux distribution
+likely provides binary packages to support OpenRISC.
