+ATF Build Instructions
+======================
+
+This section describes how to compile the ARM Trusted Firmware (ATF) project for Marvell's platforms.
+
+Build Instructions
+------------------
+1. Set the cross compiler:
+
+ # export CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/toolchain/aarch64-marvell-linux-gnu-
+
+2. Set path for FIP images:
+
+ Set U-Boot image path (relatively to ATF root or absolute path)
+
+ # export BL33=path/to/u-boot.bin
+
+ For example: if U-Boot project (and its images) is located at ~/project/u-boot,
+ BL33 should be ~/project/u-boot/u-boot.bin
+
+ Note: u-boot.bin should be used and not u-boot-spl.bin
+
+ Set MSS/SCP image path (only for Armada70x0, Armada80x0):
+
+ # export SCP_BL2=path/to/scp_image.bin
+
+3. Armada37x0 build requires WTP tools installation.
+
+ See below in the section "Tools Installation for Armada37x0 Builds".
+ Install ARM 32-bit cross compiler, which is required by building WTMI image for CM3.
+
+ # sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi
+
+4. Clean previous build residuals (if any):
+
+ # make distclean
+
+5. Build ATF:
+
+ There are several build options:
+ - DEBUG: default is without debug information (=0). in order to enable it use DEBUG=1
+ - LOG_LEVEL: defines the level of logging which will be purged to the default output port.
+
+ LOG_LEVEL_NONE 0
+ LOG_LEVEL_NOTICE 10
+ LOG_LEVEL_ERROR 20
+ LOG_LEVEL_WARNING 30
+ LOG_LEVEL_INFO 40
+ LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE 50
+
+ - USE_COHERENT_MEM: This flag determines whether to include the coherent memory region in the
+ BL memory map or not. It should be set to 0.
+ - MARVELL_SECURE_BOOT: build trusted(=1)/non trusted(=0) image, default is non trusted.
+ - MV_DDR_PATH: For A7/8K only, use this parameter to point to mv_ddr driver sources to allow BLE build.
+ Usage example: MV_DDR_PATH=path/to/mv_ddr
+ when this parameter is not set, the mv_ddr sources are expected to be located at:
+ drivers/marvell/mv_ddr
+ - DDR_TOPOLOGY: For Armada37x0 only, the DDR topology map index, default is 0.
+ Supported Options:
+ - DDR3 1CS (0): DB-88F3720-DDR3-Modular (512MB); EspressoBIN (512MB)
+ - DDR4 1CS (1): DB-88F3720-DDR4-Modular (512MB)
+ - DDR3 2CS (2): EspressoBIN (1GB)
+ - CLOCKSPRESET: For Armada37x0 only, the clock tree configuration preset including CPU and DDR frequency,
+ default is CPU_800_DDR_800.
+ - CPU_600_DDR_600 - CPU at 600 MHz, DDR at 600 MHz
+ - CPU_800_DDR_800 - CPU at 800 MHz, DDR at 800 MHz
+ - CPU_1000_DDR_800 - CPU at 1000 MHz, DDR at 800 MHz
+ - BOOTDEV: For Armada37x0 only, the flash boot device, default is SPINOR,
+ Now Armada37x0 only supports SPINOR, SPINAND, EMMCNORM and SATA.
+ - SPINOR - SPI NOR flash boot
+ - SPINAND - SPI NAND flash boot
+ - EMMCNORM - eMMC Download Mode
+ Download boot loader or program code from eMMC flash into CM3 or CA53
+ Requires full initialization and command sequence
+ - SATA - SATA device boot
+ - PARTNUM: For Armada37x0 only, the boot partition number, default is 0. To boot from eMMC, the value
+ should be aligned with the parameter in u-boot with name of CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART, whose
+ value by default is 1.
+ For detail about CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART, please refer to u-boot build instructions.
+
+ For example: in order to build the image in debug mode with log level up to 'notice' level run:
+
+ # make DEBUG=1 USE_COHERENT_MEM=0 LOG_LEVEL=20 PLAT=<MARVELL_PLATFORM> all fip
+
+ And if we want to build a Armada37x0 image in debug mode with log level up to 'notice' level run,
+ the image has the preset CPU at 1000 MHz, preset DDR3 at 800 MHz, the DDR topology of DDR3 2CS,
+ the image boot from SPI NOR flash partition 0, and the image is non trusted in wtp, the command
+ line is as following:
+
+ # make DEBUG=1 USE_COHERENT_MEM=0 LOG_LEVEL=20 SECURE=0 CLOCKSPRESET=CPU_1000_DDR_800 \
+ DDR_TOPOLOGY=2 BOOTDEV=SPINOR PARTNUM=0 PLAT=a3700 all fip
+
+ Supported MARVELL_PLATFORM are:
+ - a3700
+ - a70x0
+ - a70x0_cust (for customers)
+ - a80x0
+ - a80x0_cust (for customers)
+
+Special Build Flags
+--------------------
+ - PALLADIUM: Enables building ATF for palladium target. This mainly involves changing the UART baud rate
+ and the timer frequency to a lower values to match palladium's setup.
+
+(for more information about build options, please refer to section 'Summary of build options' in ATF user-guide:
+ https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/blob/master/docs/user-guide.md)
+
+
+Build output
+-------------
+Marvell's ATF compilation generates 7 files:
+ - ble.bin - BLe image
+ - bl1.bin - BL1 image
+ - bl2.bin - BL2 image
+ - bl31.bin - BL31 image
+ - fip.bin - FIP image (contains BL2, BL31 & BL33 (U-Boot) images)
+ - boot-image.bin - ATF image (contains BL1 and FIP images)
+ - flash-image.bin - Image which contains boot-image.bin and SPL image; should be placed on the boot flash/device.
+
+Tools Installation for Armada37x0 Builds
+-----------------------------------
+1. Extract the tools/wtp/WTPTP_TOOLS_x_x_xx.zip into a temporary directory
+
+ # cd tools/wtp
+ # 7z x WTPTP_TOOLS_x_x_xx.zip
+
+2. If required, add executable permissions to files in the extracted
+ WTPTP_TOOLS_x_x_xx/Linux_Tools folder:
+
+ # sudo chmod a+x WTPTP_TOOLS_x_x_xx/Linux_Tools/*.exe
+
+3. Copy executable files from WTPTP_TOOLS_x_x_xx/Linux_Tools
+ to location pointed to $PATH environment variable.
+ For instance:
+
+ # sudo cp WTPTP_TOOLS_x_x_xx/Linux_Tools/*.exe /usr/local/bin
+
+4. Make sure the "ntbb_linux.exe" can be executed from any
+ location and "make" passes without error.
+
+5. Install a cross GNU ARM tool chain for building the WTMI binary.
+ Any cross GNU ARM tool chain able to build ARM Cortex M3 binaries
+ is suitable.
+ On Debian/Uboot hosts the default GNU ARM tool chain can be installed
+ using the following command:
+
+ # sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi
+
+ If required, the default tool chain prefix "arm-linux-gnueabi-" can be
+ overwritten using environment variable CROSS_CM3.
+ Example for BASH shell:
+
+ # export CROSS_CM3=/opt/arm-cross/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi
