-ARM Trusted Firmware - version 1.1
+ARM Trusted Firmware - version 1.2
 ==================================
 
 ARM Trusted Firmware provides a reference implementation of secure world
-software for [ARMv8-A], including Exception Level 3 (EL3) software. This release
-provides complete support for version 0.2 of the [PSCI] specification, initial
-support for the new version 1.0 of that specification, and prototype support for
-the Trusted Board Boot Requirements specification.
-
-The intent is to provide a reference implementation of various ARM interface
-standards, such as the Power State Coordination Interface ([PSCI]), Trusted
-Board Boot Requirements (TBBR) and [Secure Monitor] [TEE-SMC] code. As far as
-possible the code is designed for reuse or porting to other ARMv8-A model and
-hardware platforms.

 ### Functionality
 
-*   Prototype implementation of a subset of the Trusted Board Boot Requirements
-    Platform Design Document (PDD). This includes packaging the various firmware
-    images into a Firmware Image Package (FIP) to be loaded from non-volatile
-    storage, and a prototype of authenticated boot using key certificates stored
-    in the FIP.
+*   Initialization of the secure world (for example, exception vectors, control
+    registers, interrupt controller and interrupts for the platform), before
+    transitioning into the normal world at the Exception Level and Register
+    Width specified by the platform.
+
+*   Library support for CPU specific reset and power down sequences. This
+    includes support for errata workarounds.
 
-*   Initializes the secure world (for example, exception vectors, control
-    registers, GIC and interrupts for the platform), before transitioning into
-    the normal world.
+*   Drivers for both the version 2.0 and version 3.0 ARM Generic Interrupt
+    Controller specifications (GICv2 and GICv3). The latter also enables GICv3
+    hardware systems that do not contain legacy GICv2 support.
 
-*   Supports both GICv2 and GICv3 initialization for use by normal world
-    software.
+*   Drivers to enable standard initialization of ARM System IP, for example
+    Cache Coherent Interconnect (CCI), Cache Coherent Network (CCN), Network
+    Interconnect (NIC) and TrustZone Controller (TZC).
 
-*   Starts the normal world at the Exception Level and Register Width specified
-    by the platform port. Typically this is AArch64 EL2 if available.
+*   SMC (Secure Monitor Call) handling, conforming to the [SMC Calling
+    Convention][SMCCC] using an EL3 runtime services framework.
 
-*   Handles SMCs (Secure Monitor Calls) conforming to the [SMC Calling
-    Convention PDD] [SMCCC] using an EL3 runtime services framework.
+*   SMC handling relating to [PSCI] for the Secondary CPU Boot, CPU Hotplug,
+    CPU Idle and System Shutdown/Reset/Suspend use-cases.
 
-*   Handles SMCs relating to the [Power State Coordination Interface PDD] [PSCI]
-    for the Secondary CPU Boot, CPU Hotplug, CPU Idle and System Shutdown/Reset
-    use-cases.
+*   Secure Monitor library code such as world switching, EL1 context management
+    and interrupt routing. This must be integrated with a Secure-EL1 Payload
+    Dispatcher (SPD) component to customize the interaction with a Secure-EL1
+    Payload (SP), for example a Secure OS.
 
 *   A Test Secure-EL1 Payload and Dispatcher to demonstrate Secure Monitor
-    functionality such as world switching, EL1 context management and interrupt
-    routing. This also demonstrates Secure-EL1 interaction with PSCI. Some of
-    this functionality is provided in library form for re-use by other
-    Secure-EL1 Payload Dispatchers.
+    functionality and Secure-EL1 interaction with PSCI.
 
-*   Support for alternative Trusted Boot Firmware. Some platforms have their own
-    Trusted Boot implementation and only require the Secure Monitor
-    functionality provided by ARM Trusted Firmware.
+*   SPDs for the [OP-TEE Secure OS] and [NVidia Trusted Little Kernel]
+    [NVidia TLK].
 
-*   Isolation of memory accessible by the secure world from the normal world
-    through programming of a TrustZone controller.
+*   A Trusted Board Boot implementation, conforming to all mandatory TBBR
+    requirements. This includes image authentication using certificates, a
+    Firmware Update (or recovery mode) boot flow, and packaging of the various
+    firmware images into a Firmware Image Package (FIP) to be loaded from
+    non-volatile storage.
 
-*   Support for CPU specific reset sequences, power down sequences and register
-    dumping during crash reporting. The CPU specific reset sequences include
-    support for errata workarounds.
+*   Support for alternative boot flows. Some platforms have their own boot
+    firmware and only require the ARM Trusted Firmware Secure Monitor
+    functionality. Other platforms require minimal initialization before
+    booting into an arbitrary EL3 payload.
