+Trusted Little Kernel (TLK) Dispatcher
+======================================
+
+TLK dispatcher (TLK-D) adds support for NVIDIA's Trusted Little Kernel (TLK)
+to work with Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A). TLK-D can be compiled by including it
+in the platform's makefile. TLK is primarily meant to work with Tegra SoCs,
+so while TF-A only supports TLK on Tegra, the dispatcher code can only be
+compiled for other platforms.
+
+In order to compile TLK-D, we need a BL32 image to be present. Since, TLKD
+just needs to compile, any BL32 image would do. To use TLK as the BL32, please
+refer to the "Build TLK" section.
+
+Once a BL32 is ready, TLKD can be included in the image by adding "SPD=tlkd"
+to the build command.
+
+Trusted Little Kernel (TLK)
+---------------------------
+
+TLK is a Trusted OS running as Secure EL1. It is a Free Open Source Software
+(FOSS) release of the NVIDIA® Trusted Little Kernel (TLK) technology, which
+extends technology made available with the development of the Little Kernel (LK).
+You can download the LK modular embedded preemptive kernel for use on Arm,
+x86, and AVR32 systems from https://github.com/travisg/lk
+
+NVIDIA implemented its Trusted Little Kernel (TLK) technology, designed as a
+free and open-source trusted execution environment (OTE).
+
+TLK features include:
+
+• Small, pre-emptive kernel
+• Supports multi-threading, IPCs, and thread scheduling
+• Added TrustZone features
+• Added Secure Storage
+• Under MIT/FreeBSD license
+
+NVIDIA extensions to Little Kernel (LK) include:
+
+• User mode
+• Address-space separation for TAs
+• TLK Client Application (CA) library
+• TLK TA library
+• Crypto library (encrypt/decrypt, key handling) via OpenSSL
+• Linux kernel driver
+• Cortex A9/A15 support
+• Power Management
+• TrustZone memory carve-out (reconfigurable)
+• Page table management
+• Debugging support over UART (USB planned)
+
+TLK is hosted by NVIDIA on http://nv-tegra.nvidia.com under the
+3rdparty/ote\_partner/tlk.git repository. Detailed information about
+TLK and OTE can be found in the Tegra\_BSP\_for\_Android\_TLK\_FOSS\_Reference.pdf
+manual located under the "documentation" directory\_.
+
+Build TLK
+---------
+
+To build and execute TLK, follow the instructions from "Building a TLK Device"
+section from Tegra\_BSP\_for\_Android\_TLK\_FOSS\_Reference.pdf manual.
+
+Input parameters to TLK
+-----------------------
+
+TLK expects the TZDRAM size and a structure containing the boot arguments. BL2
+passes this information to the EL3 software as members of the bl32\_ep\_info
+struct, where bl32\_ep\_info is part of bl31\_params\_t (passed by BL2 in X0)
+
+Example
+~~~~~~~
+
+::
+
+    bl32_ep_info->args.arg0 = TZDRAM size available for BL32
+    bl32_ep_info->args.arg1 = unused (used only on Armv7-A)
+    bl32_ep_info->args.arg2 = pointer to boot args
