+TF-A Build Instructions for Marvell Platforms
+=============================================
+
+This section describes how to compile the Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A) project for Marvell's platforms.
+
+Build Instructions
+------------------
+(1) Set the cross compiler
+
+ .. code:: shell
+
+ > export CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/toolchain/aarch64-linux-gnu-
+
+(2) Set path for FIP images:
+
+Set U-Boot image path (relatively to TF-A root or absolute path)
+
+ .. code:: shell
+
+ > 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 (mandatory only for Armada80x0)
+
+ .. code:: shell
+
+ > export SCP_BL2=path/to/mrvl_scp_bl2*.img
+
+(3) Armada-37x0 build requires WTP tools installation.
+
+See below in the section "Tools and external components installation".
+Install ARM 32-bit cross compiler, which is required for building WTMI image for CM3
+
+ .. code:: shell
+
+ > sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi
+
+(4) Clean previous build residuals (if any)
+
+ .. code:: shell
+
+ > make distclean
+
+(5) Build TF-A
+
+There are several build options:
+
+- DEBUG
+
+ Default is without debug information (=0). in order to enable it use ``DEBUG=1``.
+ Must be disabled when building UART recovery images due to current console driver
+ implementation that is not compatible with Xmodem protocol used for boot image download.
+
+- LOG_LEVEL
+
+ Defines the level of logging which will be purged to the default output port.
+
+ LOG_LEVEL_NONE 0
+ LOG_LEVEL_ERROR 10
+ LOG_LEVEL_NOTICE 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.
+
+- LLC_ENABLE
+
+ Flag defining the LLC (L3) cache state. The cache is enabled by default (``LLC_ENABLE=1``).
+
+- MARVELL_SECURE_BOOT
+
+ Build trusted(=1)/non trusted(=0) image, default is non trusted.
+
+- BLE_PATH
+
+ Points to BLE (Binary ROM extension) sources folder. Only required for A8K builds.
+ The parameter is optional, its default value is ``plat/marvell/a8k/common/ble``.
+
+- MV_DDR_PATH
+
+ For A7/8K, use this parameter to point to mv_ddr driver sources to allow BLE build. For A37x0,
+ it is used for ddr_tool build.
+
+ Usage example: MV_DDR_PATH=path/to/mv_ddr
+
+ The parameter is optional for A7/8K, when this parameter is not set, the mv_ddr
+ sources are expected to be located at: drivers/marvell/mv_ddr. However, the parameter
+ is necessary for A37x0.
+
+ For the mv_ddr source location, check the section "Tools and external components installation"
+
+- DDR_TOPOLOGY
+
+ For Armada37x0 only, the DDR topology map index/name, 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 V3-V5 (1GB)
+ - DDR4 2CS (3): DB-88F3720-DDR4-Modular (4GB)
+ - DDR3 1CS (4): DB-88F3720-DDR3-Modular (1GB)
+ - DDR4 1CS (5): EspressoBin V7 (1GB)
+ - DDR4 2CS (6): EspressoBin V7 (2GB)
+ - CUSTOMER (CUST): Customer board, DDR3 1CS 512MB
+
+- 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
+ - CPU_1200_DDR_750 - CPU at 1200 MHz, DDR at 750 MHz
+
+- BOOTDEV
+
+ For Armada37x0 only, the flash boot device, default is ``SPINOR``.
+
+ Currently, 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 details about CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART, please refer to the U-Boot
+ build instructions.
+
+- WTMI_IMG
+
+ For Armada37x0 only, the path of the WTMI image can point to an image which
+ does nothing, an image which supports EFUSE or a customized CM3 firmware
+ binary. The default image is wtmi.bin that built from sources in WTP
+ folder, which is the next option. If the default image is OK, then this
+ option should be skipped.
+
+- WTP
+
+ For Armada37x0 only, use this parameter to point to wtptools source code
+ directory, which can be found as a3700_utils.zip in the release. Usage
+ example: ``WTP=/path/to/a3700_utils``
+
+ For example, in order to build the image in debug mode with log level up to 'notice' level run
+
+ .. code:: shell
+
+ > 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,
+ the image has the preset CPU at 1000 MHz, preset DDR3 at 800 MHz, the DDR topology of DDR4 2CS,
+ the image boot from SPI NOR flash partition 0, and the image is non trusted in WTP, the command
+ line is as following
+
+ .. code:: shell
+
+ > make DEBUG=1 USE_COHERENT_MEM=0 LOG_LEVEL=20 CLOCKSPRESET=CPU_1000_DDR_800 \
+ MARVELL_SECURE_BOOT=0 DDR_TOPOLOGY=3 BOOTDEV=SPINOR PARTNUM=0 PLAT=a3700 all fip
+
+ Supported MARVELL_PLATFORM are:
+ - a3700 (for both A3720 DB and EspressoBin)
+ - a70x0
+ - a70x0_amc (for AMC board)
+ - a80x0
+ - a80x0_mcbin (for MacciatoBin)
+
+Special Build Flags
+--------------------
+
+- PLAT_RECOVERY_IMAGE_ENABLE
+ When set this option to enable secondary recovery function when build atf.
+ In order to build UART recovery image this operation should be disabled for
+ a70x0 and a80x0 because of hardware limitation (boot from secondary image
+ can interrupt UART recovery process). This MACRO definition is set in
+ ``plat/marvell/a8k/common/include/platform_def.h`` file.
+
+For more information about build options, please refer to section
+'Summary of build options' in the :ref:`User Guide`.
+
+
+Build output
+------------
+Marvell's TF-A 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 - TF-A 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 and external components installation
+------------------------------------------
+
+Armada37x0 Builds require installation of 3 components
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+(1) ARM cross compiler capable of building images for the service CPU (CM3).
+ This component is usually included in the Linux host packages.
+ On Debian/Ubuntu hosts the default GNU ARM tool chain can be installed
+ using the following command
+
+ .. code:: shell
+
+ > sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi
+
+ Only if required, the default tool chain prefix ``arm-linux-gnueabi-`` can be
+ overwritten using the environment variable ``CROSS_CM3``.
+ Example for BASH shell
+
+ .. code:: shell
+
+ > export CROSS_CM3=/opt/arm-cross/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi
+
+(2) DDR initialization library sources (mv_ddr) available at the following repository
+ (use the "mv_ddr-armada-atf-mainline" branch):
+
+ https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/mv-ddr-marvell.git
+
+(3) Armada3700 tools available at the following repository (use the latest release branch):
+
+ https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/A3700-utils-marvell.git
+
+Armada70x0 and Armada80x0 Builds require installation of an additional component
