+ARM Trusted Firmware - version 1.1
+==================================
+
+New features
+------------
+
+* A prototype implementation of Trusted Board Boot has been added. Boot
+ loader images are verified by BL1 and BL2 during the cold boot path. BL1 and
+ BL2 use the PolarSSL SSL library to verify certificates and images. The
+ OpenSSL library is used to create the X.509 certificates. Support has been
+ added to `fip_create` tool to package the certificates in a FIP.
+
+* Support for calling CPU and platform specific reset handlers upon entry into
+ BL3-1 during the cold and warm boot paths has been added. This happens after
+ another Boot ROM `reset_handler()` has already run. This enables a developer
+ to perform additional actions or undo actions already performed during the
+ first call of the reset handlers e.g. apply additional errata workarounds.
+
+* Support has been added to demonstrate routing of IRQs to EL3 instead of
+ S-EL1 when execution is in secure world.
+
+* The PSCI implementation now conforms to version 1.0 of the PSCI
+ specification. All the mandatory APIs and selected optional APIs are
+ supported. In particular, support for the `PSCI_FEATURES` API has been
+ added. A capability variable is constructed during initialization by
+ examining the `plat_pm_ops` and `spd_pm_ops` exported by the platform and
+ the Secure Payload Dispatcher. This is used by the PSCI FEATURES function
+ to determine which PSCI APIs are supported by the platform.
+
+* Improvements have been made to the PSCI code as follows.
+
+ * The code has been refactored to remove redundant parameters from
+ internal functions.
+
+ * Changes have been made to the code for PSCI `CPU_SUSPEND`, `CPU_ON` and
+ `CPU_OFF` calls to facilitate an early return to the caller in case a
+ failure condition is detected. For example, a PSCI `CPU_SUSPEND` call
+ returns `SUCCESS` to the caller if a pending interrupt is detected early
+ in the code path.
+
+ * Optional platform APIs have been added to validate the `power_state` and
+ `entrypoint` parameters early in PSCI `CPU_ON` and `CPU_SUSPEND` code
+ paths.
+
+ * PSCI migrate APIs have been reworked to invoke the SPD hook to determine
+ the type of Trusted OS and the CPU it is resident on (if
+ applicable). Also, during a PSCI `MIGRATE` call, the SPD hook to migrate
+ the Trusted OS is invoked.
+
+* It is now possible to build Trusted Firmware without marking at least an
+ extra page of memory as coherent. The build flag `USE_COHERENT_MEM` can be
+ used to choose between the two implementations. This has been made possible
+ through these changes.
+
+ * An implementation of Bakery locks, where the locks are not allocated in
+ coherent memory has been added.
+
+ * Memory which was previously marked as coherent is now kept coherent
+ through the use of software cache maintenance operations.
+
+ Approximately, 4K worth of memory is saved for each boot loader stage when
+ `USE_COHERENT_MEM=0`. Enabling this option increases the latencies
+ associated with acquire and release of locks. It also requires changes to
+ the platform ports.
+
+* It is now possible to specify the name of the FIP at build time by defining
+ the `FIP_NAME` variable.
+
+* Issues with depedencies on the 'fiptool' makefile target have been
+ rectified. The `fip_create` tool is now rebuilt whenever its source files
+ change.
+
+* The BL3-1 runtime console is now also used as the crash console. The crash
+ console is changed to SoC UART0 (UART2) from the previous FPGA UART0 (UART0)
+ on Juno. In FVP, it is changed from UART0 to UART1.
+
+* CPU errata workarounds are applied only when the revision and part number
+ match. This behaviour has been made consistent across the debug and release
+ builds. The debug build additionally prints a warning if a mismatch is
+ detected.
+
+* It is now possible to issue cache maintenance operations by set/way for a
+ particular level of data cache. Levels 1-3 are currently supported.
+
+* The following improvements have been made to the FVP port.
+
+ * The build option `FVP_SHARED_DATA_LOCATION` which allowed relocation of
+ shared data into the Trusted DRAM has been deprecated. Shared data is
+ now always located at the base of Trusted SRAM.
+
+ * BL2 Translation tables have been updated to map only the region of
+ DRAM which is accessible to normal world. This is the region of the 2GB
+ DDR-DRAM memory at 0x80000000 excluding the top 16MB. The top 16MB is
+ accessible to only the secure world.
+
+ * BL3-2 can now reside in the top 16MB of DRAM which is accessible only to
+ the secure world. This can be done by setting the build flag
+ `FVP_TSP_RAM_LOCATION` to the value `dram`.
+
+* Separate transation tables are created for each boot loader image. The
+ `IMAGE_BLx` build options are used to do this. This allows each stage to
+ create mappings only for areas in the memory map that it needs.
+
+* A Secure Payload Dispatcher (OPTEED) for the OP-TEE Trusted OS has been
+ added. Details of using it with ARM Trusted Firmware can be found in
+ [OP-TEE Dispatcher]
+
+
+
+Issues resolved since last release
+----------------------------------
+
+* The Juno port has been aligned with the FVP port as follows.
+
+ * Support for reclaiming all BL1 RW memory and BL2 memory by overlaying
+ the BL3-1/BL3-2 NOBITS sections on top of them has been added to the
+ Juno port.
+
+ * The top 16MB of the 2GB DDR-DRAM memory at 0x80000000 is configured
+ using the TZC-400 controller to be accessible only to the secure world.
+
+ * The ARM GIC driver is used to configure the GIC-400 instead of using a
+ GIC driver private to the Juno port.
+
+ * PSCI `CPU_SUSPEND` calls that target a standby state are now supported.
+
+ * The TZC-400 driver is used to configure the controller instead of direct
+ accesses to the registers.
+
+* The Linux kernel version referred to in the user guide has DVFS and HMP
+ support enabled.
+
+* DS-5 v5.19 did not detect Version 5.8 of the Cortex-A57-A53 Base FVPs in
+ CADI server mode. This issue is not seen with DS-5 v5.20 and Version 6.2 of
+ the Cortex-A57-A53 Base FVPs.
+
+
+Known issues
+------------
+
+* The Trusted Board Boot implementation is a prototype. There are issues with
+ the modularity and scalability of the design. Support for a Trusted
+ Watchdog, firmware update mechanism, recovery images and Trusted debug is
+ absent. These issues will be addressed in future releases.
+
+* The FVP and Juno ports do not use the hash of the ROTPK stored in the
+ Trusted Key Storage registers to verify the ROTPK in the
+ `plat_match_rotpk()` function. This prevents the correct establishment of
+ the Chain of Trust at the first step in the Trusted Board Boot process.
+
+* The version of the AEMv8 Base FVP used in this release resets the model
+ instead of terminating its execution in response to a shutdown request using
+ the PSCI `SYSTEM_OFF` API. This issue will be fixed in a future version of
+ the model.
+
+* GICv3 support is experimental. There are known issues with GICv3
+ initialization in the ARM Trusted Firmware.
+
+* While this version greatly reduces the on-chip RAM requirements, there are
+ further RAM usage enhancements that could be made.
+
+* The firmware design documentation for the Test Secure-EL1 Payload (TSP) and
+ its dispatcher (TSPD) is incomplete. Similarly for the PSCI section.
+
+* The Juno-specific firmware design documentation is incomplete.
