+# ELF Parser Tool
+
+This tool demonstrates parsing ELF32/ELF64, showing the clear/load sections and entry point.
+
+## Building elf-parser
+
+From root: `make elf-parser`
+OR
+From `tools/elf-parser` use `make clean && make`
+
+## Example Output
+
+```sh
+% ./tools/elf-parser/elf-parser wolfboot.elf
+ELF Parser:
+Loading elf at 0x7f9a18008000
+Found valid elf32 (little endian)
+Program Headers 2 (size 32)
+	Load 18340 bytes (offset 0x10000) to 0x8000000 (p 0x8000000)
+	Clear 72 bytes at 0x20000000 (p 0x80047a4)
+Entry point 0x8000000
+Return 0, Load 0x8000000

+# Flattened Device Tree (FDT) Parser
+
+This tool uses our internal FDT (fdt.c) parsing code to dump the device tree. There is also a `-t` option that tests making several updates to the device tree.

+## Building fdt-parser
+
+From root: `make fdt-parser`
+OR
+From `tools/fdt-parser` use `make clean && make`
