I'm trying to follow these instructions but it is tricky. Please see
my comments below.

Can you put that Makefile in U-Boot too so that we don't need to rely
on it being at a particular URL?

OK, so then should say something like:

cd arm-trusted-firmware
wget http://people.linaro.org/~peter.griffin/hikey/hikey-u-boot-release_r1/build-tf.mak
make -f build-tf.mak

I get Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string.

Line 45 seems to be missing an end quote.

But then in the end it says no rule to make target bl30-hikey.bin.
Where does that come from?

How about ../aarch64 or even ../bin?

That worked for me. How about creating a script for that?

It doesn't say J2 - I think you mean J15 BOOT SEL, which is the second
jumper in J15.

Try to turn the /home/griffinp to a relative path. Also mention that
/dev/ttyUSB0 is the first USB serial port.

That URL has changed.

I can't find fip.bin, perhaps because of the failure above.

Can you please have a look and let me know what I am missing? Also it
would be great to get a patch to tidy this up. It's an extremely
convoluted build and flash process so the clearer it is the better,

It would also help to explain what all these .bin files are.
