+Morello Platform
+================
+
+Morello is an ARMv8-A platform that implements the capability architecture extension.
+The platform port present at `site <https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a.git>`_
+provides ARMv8-A architecture enablement.
+
+Capability architecture specific changes will be added `here <https://git.morello-project.org/morello>`_
+
+Further information on Morello Platform is available at `info <https://developer.arm.com/architectures/cpu-architecture/a-profile/morello>`_
+
+Boot Sequence
+-------------
+
+The SCP initializes the RVBAR registers to point to the AP_BL1. Once RVBAR is
+initialized, the primary core is powered on. The primary core boots the AP_BL1.
+It performs minimum initialization necessary to load and authenticate the AP
+firmware image (the FIP image) from the AP QSPI NOR Flash Memory into the
+Trusted SRAM.
+
+AP_BL1 authenticates and loads the AP_BL2 image. AP_BL2 performs additional
+initializations, and then authenticates and loads the AP_BL31 and AP_BL33.
+AP_BL2 then transfers execution control to AP_BL31, which is the EL3 runtime
+firmware. Execution is finally handed off to AP_BL33, which is the non-secure
+world (UEFI).
+
+SCP -> AP_BL1 -> AP_BL2 -> AP_BL31 -> AP_BL33
+
+Build Procedure (TF-A only)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Obtain arm `toolchain <https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/open-source-software/developer-tools/gnu-toolchain/gnu-a/downloads>`_.
+ Set the CROSS_COMPILE environment variable to point to the toolchain folder.
+
+- Build TF-A:
+
+ .. code:: shell
+
+ export CROSS_COMPILE=<path-to-aarch64-gcc>/bin/aarch64-none-elf-
+
+ make PLAT=morello all
