I fixed inline the URL links and moved the section at the end of the file.

Thanks,

C.

- ``ast1030-evb`` Aspeed AST1030 Evaluation board (Cortex-M4F) +Facebook Yosemite v3.5 Platform and CraterLake Server (``fby35``)
+==================================================================
+
+Facebook has a series of multi-node compute server designs named
+Yosemite. The most recent version released was
+`Yosemite v3 
<https://www.opencompute.org/documents/ocp-yosemite-v3-platform-design-specification-1v16-pdf>`.
+
+Yosemite v3.5 is an iteration on this design, and is very similar: there's a
+baseboard with a BMC, and 4 server slots. The new server board design termed
+"CraterLake" includes a Bridge IC (BIC), with room for expansion boards to
+include various compute accelerators (video, inferencing, etc). At the moment,
+only the first server slot's BIC is included.
+
+Yosemite v3.5 is itself a sled which fits into a 40U chassis, and 3 sleds
+can be fit into a chassis. See `here 
<https://www.opencompute.org/products/423/wiwynn-yosemite-v3-server>`
+for an example.
+
+In this generation, the BMC is an AST2600 and each BIC is an AST1030. The BMC
+runs `OpenBMC <https://github.com/facebook/openbmc>`, and the BIC runs
+`OpenBIC <https://github.com/facebook/openbic>`.
+
+Firmware images can be retrieved from the Github releases or built from the
+source code, see the README's for instructions on that. This image uses the
+"fby35" machine recipe from OpenBMC, and the "yv35-cl" target from OpenBIC.
+Some reference images can also be found here:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ wget 
https://github.com/facebook/openbmc/releases/download/openbmc-e2294ff5d31d/fby35.mtd
+    $ wget 
https://github.com/peterdelevoryas/OpenBIC/releases/download/oby35-cl-2022.13.01/Y35BCL.elf
+
+Since this machine has multiple SoC's, each with their own serial console, the
+recommended way to run it is to allocate a pseudoterminal for each serial
+console and let the monitor use stdio. Also, starting in a paused state is
+useful because it allows you to attach to the pseudoterminals before the boot
+process starts.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ qemu-system-arm -machine fby35 \
+        -drive file=fby35.mtd,format=raw,if=mtd \
+        -device loader,file=Y35BCL.elf,addr=0,cpu-num=2 \
+        -serial pty -serial pty -serial mon:stdio \
+        -display none -S
+    $ screen /dev/tty0 # In a separate TMUX pane, terminal window, etc.
+    $ screen /dev/tty1
+    $ (qemu) c            # Start the boot process once screen is setup.
