It implements various Arm interface standards, +such as: + +- 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)`_ +- `PSA FW update specification`_ + +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. + +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. + +Getting Started +--------------- + +The |TF-A| documentation contains guidance for obtaining and building the +software for existing, supported platforms, as well as supporting information +for porting the software to a new platform. + +The **About** chapter gives a high-level overview of |TF-A| features as well as +some information on the project and how it is organized. + +Refer to the documents in the **Getting Started** chapter for information about +the prerequisites and requirements for building |TF-A|. + +The **Processes & Policies** chapter explains the project's release schedule +and process, how security disclosures are handled, and the guidelines for +contributing to the project (including the coding style). + +The **Components** chapter holds documents that explain specific components +that make up the |TF-A| software, the :ref:`Exception Handling Framework`, for +example. + +In the **System Design** chapter you will find documents that explain the +design of portions of the software that involve more than one component, such +as the :ref:`Trusted Board Boot` process. + +**Platform Ports** provides a list of the supported hardware and software-model +platforms that are supported upstream in |TF-A|. Most of these platforms also +have additional documentation that has been provided by the maintainers of the +platform. + +The results of any performance evaluations are added to the +**Performance & Testing** chapter. + +**Security Advisories** holds a list of documents relating to |CVE| entries that +have previously been raised against the software. + +-------------- + +*Copyright (c) 2013-2021, Arm Limited and Contributors.
