John Tsichritzis4730c112019-07-05 14:14:40 +0100[diff] [blame]4Versatile Express (VE) family development platform provides an ultra fast
5environment for prototyping Armv7 System-on-Chip designs. VE Fixed Virtual
6Platforms (FVP) are simulations of Versatile Express boards. The platform in
7Trusted Firmware-A has been verified with Arm Cortex-A5 and Cortex-A7 VE FVP's.
8This platform is tested on and only expected to work with single core models.
