-==================
+Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A) provides a reference implementation of secure world
+software for `Armv7-A and Armv8-A`_, including a `Secure Monitor`_ executing
+at Exception Level 3 (EL3). It implements various Arm interface standards,
+such as:
-* :ref:`genindex`
-* :ref:`modindex`
-* :ref:`search`
+- The `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)`_
+
+Where possible, the code is designed for reuse or porting to other Armv7-A and
+Armv8-A model and hardware platforms.
+
+This release provides a suitable starting point for productization of secure
+world boot and runtime firmware, in either the AArch32 or AArch64 execution
+states.
+
+Users are encouraged to do their own security validation, including penetration
+testing, on any secure world code derived from TF-A.
+
+Arm will continue development in collaboration with interested parties to
+provide a full reference implementation of Secure Monitor code and Arm standards
+to the benefit of all developers working with Armv7-A and Armv8-A TrustZone
+technology.
+
+Functionality
+-------------
+
+- Initialization of the secure world, for example exception vectors, control
+ registers and interrupts for the platform.
+
+- Library support for CPU specific reset and power down sequences. This
+ includes support for errata workarounds and the latest Arm DynamIQ CPUs.
+
+- Drivers to enable standard initialization of Arm System IP, for example
+ Generic Interrupt Controller (GIC), Cache Coherent Interconnect (CCI),
+ Cache Coherent Network (CCN), Network Interconnect (NIC) and TrustZone
+ Controller (TZC).
+
+- A generic `SCMI`_ driver to interface with conforming power controllers, for
+ example the Arm System Control Processor (SCP).
+
+- SMC (Secure Monitor Call) handling, conforming to the `SMC Calling
+ Convention`_ using an EL3 runtime services framework.
+
+- `PSCI`_ library support for CPU, cluster and system power management
+ use-cases.
+ This library is pre-integrated with the AArch64 EL3 Runtime Software, and
+ is also suitable for integration with other AArch32 EL3 Runtime Software,
+ for example an AArch32 Secure OS.
+
+- A minimal AArch32 Secure Payload (SP\_MIN) to demonstrate `PSCI`_ library
+ integration with AArch32 EL3 Runtime Software.
+
+- Secure Monitor library code such as world switching, EL1 context management
+ and interrupt routing.
+ When a Secure-EL1 Payload (SP) is present, for example a Secure OS, the
+ AArch64 EL3 Runtime Software must be integrated with a Secure Payload
+ Dispatcher (SPD) component to customize the interaction with the SP.
+
+- A Test SP and SPD to demonstrate AArch64 Secure Monitor functionality and SP
+ interaction with PSCI.
+
+- SPDs for the `OP-TEE Secure OS`_, `NVIDIA Trusted Little Kernel`_
+ and `Trusty Secure OS`_.
+
+- A Trusted Board Boot implementation, conforming to all mandatory TBBR
+ requirements. This includes image authentication, Firmware Update (or
+ recovery mode), and packaging of the various firmware images into a
+ Firmware Image Package (FIP).
+
+- Pre-integration of TBB with the Arm CryptoCell product, to take advantage of
+ its hardware Root of Trust and crypto acceleration services.
+
+- Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) functionality, including
+
+ - A Secure Partition Manager (SPM) to manage Secure Partitions in
+ Secure-EL0, which can be used to implement simple management and
+ security services.
+
+ - An SDEI dispatcher to route interrupt-based SDEI events.
+
+ - An Exception Handling Framework (EHF) that allows dispatching of EL3
+ interrupts to their registered handlers, to facilitate firmware-first
+ error handling.
+
+- A dynamic configuration framework that enables each of the firmware images
+ to be configured at runtime if required by the platform. It also enables
+ loading of a hardware configuration (for example, a kernel device tree)
+ as part of the FIP, to be passed through the firmware stages.
+
+- Support for alternative boot flows, for example to support platforms where
+ the EL3 Runtime Software is loaded using other firmware or a separate
+ secure system processor, or where a non-TF-A ROM expects BL2 to be loaded
+ at EL3.
+
+- Support for the GCC, LLVM and Arm Compiler 6 toolchains.
+
+- Support for combining several libraries into a "romlib" image that may be
+ shared across images to reduce memory footprint. The romlib image is stored
+ in ROM but is accessed through a jump-table that may be stored
+ in read-write memory, allowing for the library code to be patched.
+
+- A prototype implementation of a Secure Partition Manager (SPM) that is based
+ on the SPCI Alpha 1 and SPRT draft specifications.
+
+- Support for ARMv8.3 pointer authentication in the normal and secure worlds.
+ The use of pointer authentication in the normal world is enabled whenever
+ architectural support is available, without the need for additional build
+ flags. Use of pointer authentication in the secure world remains an
+ experimental configuration at this time and requires the ``ENABLE_PAUTH``
+ build flag to be set.
+
+- Position-Independent Executable (PIE) support. Initially for BL31 only, with
+ further support to be added in a future release.
+
+For a full description of functionality and implementation details, please
+see the `Firmware Design`_ and supporting documentation. The `Change Log`_
+provides details of changes made since the last release.

-
-The latest version of the AArch32 build of TF-A has been tested on the following
-Arm FVPs without shifted affinities, and that do not support threaded CPU cores
-(64-bit host machine only).
-
-- ``FVP_Base_AEMv8A-AEMv8A``
-- ``FVP_Base_Cortex-A32x4``
-
-NOTE: The ``FVP_Base_RevC-2xAEMv8A`` FVP only supports shifted affinities.
-
-The Foundation FVP can be downloaded free of charge. The Base FVPs can be
-licensed from Arm. See the `Arm FVP website`_.
-
-All the above platforms have been tested with `Linaro Release 18.04`_.
