+== Introduction ==
+
+These instructions explain how to get an edk2/edk2-platforms build running
+on the ARM Base FVP, which is a software model provided by ARM (for free)
+, which models a Cortex A core with various peripherals. More information
+can be found here:
+https://developer.arm.com/products/system-design/fixed-virtual-platforms
+
+<b>Requirement:</b>
+* A 32-bit or 64-bit Linux host machine.
+* Visual Studio is not officially supported, experimental support can be found here:
+[https://git.linaro.org/people/leif.lindholm/edk2.git/log/?h=aarch64-vs]
+
+== Build EDK2 Tianocore ==
+
+<pre>cd $(WORKSPACE)/edk2</pre>For the Foundation and Base FVPs (defined by the DSC file Platform/ARM/VExpressPkg/ArmVExpress-FVP-AArch64.dsc):
+<pre>build -a AARCH64 -p Platform/ARM/VExpressPkg/ArmVExpress-FVP-AArch64.dsc -t GCC5</pre>
+
+Once built, the edk2 image is the following file Build/ArmVExpress-FVP-AArch64/DEBUG_GCC5/FV/FVP_AARCH64_EFI.fd
+
+=== Run edk2/edk2-platforms on the ARM Base Platform FVP ===
+
+In order to run the binary we have just built there are a few steps we need to
+go through, we need to get a model, a set of prebuilts (where we will swap out
+the edk2 image with our own) and the tool with which we will swap out the
+prebuilt edk2 image.
+
+We will also rely on the "run_model" script that comes with the prebuilts, it
+is entirely possible to run the model without this but would require quite a bit
+of knowledge regarding the areguments ARM fastmodel (documentation can be found here:
+https://developer.arm.com/docs/100966/1101/programming-reference-for-base-fvps/base-platform-revc-features)
+however the manual set of the FVP is outside the scope of this document. If you are interested
+please consult the documentation.
+
+It's recommended you create a folder where you download the prebuilts and
+required tool and copy your edk2 image in to it, as the run script expects
+the binaries in the same directory.
+
+1) Download the Base FVP from here https://developer.arm.com/products/system-design/fixed-virtual-platforms
+
+	- Select Armv8-A Base Platform FVP based on Fast Models 11.4
+	- It has a click through license but is free.
+
+2) Download the 18.10 Linaro ARM Landing Team release for FVP booting UEFI
+https://releases.linaro.org/members/arm/platforms/18.10/fvp-uefi.zip
+
+3) Download the prebuilt fiptool from https://git.linaro.org/landing-teams/working/arm/prebuilt/tools
+
+4) Update the fip.bin image from fvp-uefi.zip by running the following command:
+
+	fiptool update --nt-fw=[path to binary built above] fip.bin
+
+5) Execute the FVP run_model.sh script from fvp-uefi.zip and provide a path to the FVP binaries
+downloaded in step 1):
+
+	MODEL=[path to FVP binary] ./run_model.sh
+
+This expects the contents of fvp-uefi.zip, the bl1.bin and fip.bin (which is
+the file we modify), to be in the same directory as the run_model.sh script.
+
+This should be sufficient to provide a build/run/debug environment for aarch64.
