+Fixed Virtual Platforms
+=======================
+
+The Fixed Virtual Platforms (FVP) are complete software simulations of an Arm
+system, including processor, memory and peripherals. They are set out in a
+"programmer's view", which gives a comprehensive model on which to build and
+test software.
+
+The supported FVPs are available free of charge and can be downloaded from the
+Arm developer site [1]_ (user registration might be required).
+
+Supported features:
+
+ * GICv3
+ * Generic timer
+ * PL011 UART
+
+The default configuration assumes that U-Boot is bootstrapped using a suitable
+bootloader, such as Trusted Firmware-A [4]_. The u-boot binary can be passed
+into the TF-A build: ``make PLAT=<platform> all fip BL33=u-boot.bin``
+
+The FVPs can be debugged using Arm Development Studio [2]_.
