+Arm Versatile Express
+=====================
+
+The vexpress_* board configuration supports the following platforms:
+
+ * FVP_Base_RevC-2xAEMvA
+ * Juno development board
+
+Fixed Virtual Platforms
+-----------------------
+
+The Fixed Virtual Platforms (FVP) are complete simulations of an Arm system,
+including processor, memory and peripherals. They are set out in a "programmer's
+view", which gives a comprehensive model on which to build and test software.
+
+The supported FVPs are available free of charge and can be downloaded from the
+Arm developer site [1]_ (user registration might be required).
+
+Supported features:
+
+ * GICv3
+ * Generic timer
+ * PL011 UART
+
+The default configuration assumes that U-Boot is bootstrapped using a suitable
+bootloader, such as Trusted Firmware-A [4]_. The u-boot binary can be passed
+into the TF-A build: ``make PLAT=<platform> all fip BL33=u-boot.bin``
+
+The FVPs can be debugged using Arm Development Studio [2]_.
+
+Juno
+----
+
+Juno is an Arm development board with the following features:
+
+ * Arm Cortex-A72/A57 and Arm Cortex-A53 in a "big.LITTLE" configuration
+ * A PCIe Gen2.0 bus with 4 lanes
+ * 8GB of DRAM
+ * GICv2
+
+More details can be found in the board documentation [3]_.
