+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`_ (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`_. The U-Boot binary can be passed
+into the TF-A build::
+
+    make PLAT=fvp all fip BL33=/path/to/u-boot.bin
+
+The FVPs can be debugged using `Arm Development Studio`_.
