The User Guide document has grown organically over time and now covers a wide range of topics, making it difficult to skim read and extract information from. Currently, it covers these topics and maybe a couple more: - Requirements (hardware, tools, libs) - Checking out the repo - Basic build instructions - A comprehensive list of build flags - FIP packaging - Building specifically for Juno - Firmware update images - EL3 payloads - Preloaded BL33 boot flow - Running on FVPs - Running on Juno I have separated these out into a few groups that become new documents. Broadly speaking, build instructions for the tools, for TF-A generally, and for specific scenarios are separated. Content relating to specific platforms (Juno and the FVPs are Arm-specific platforms, essentially) has been moved into the documentation that is specific to those platforms, under docs/plat/arm.

Trusted Firmware-A ================== Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A) is a reference implementation of secure world software for `Arm A-Profile architectures`_ (Armv8-A and Armv7-A), including an Exception Level 3 (EL3) `Secure Monitor`_. It provides a suitable starting point for productization of secure world boot and runtime firmware, in either the AArch32 or AArch64 execution states. TF-A implements Arm interface standards, including: - `Power State Coordination Interface (PSCI)`_ - `Trusted Board Boot Requirements CLIENT (TBBR-CLIENT)`_ - `SMC Calling Convention`_ - `System Control and Management Interface (SCMI)`_ - `Software Delegated Exception Interface (SDEI)`_ The code is designed to be portable and reusable across hardware platforms and software models that are based on the Armv8-A and Armv7-A architectures. In collaboration with interested parties, we will continue to enhance TF-A with reference implementations of Arm standards to benefit developers working with Armv7-A and Armv8-A TrustZone technology. Users are encouraged to do their own security validation, including penetration testing, on any secure world code derived from TF-A.
