+Trusted Little Kernel (TLK) Dispatcher
+=======================================
+TLK dispatcher adds support for NVIDIA's Trusted Little Kernel (TLK) to work
+with the Trusted Firmware. TLK-D can be compiled by including it in the
+platform's makefile. TLK is primarily meant to work with Tegra SoCs, so until
+Trusted Firmware starts supporting Tegra, the dispatcher code can only be
+compiled for other platforms.
+
+In order to compile TLK-D, we need a BL32 image to be present. Since, TLKD
+just needs to compile, any BL32 image would do. To use TLK as the BL32, please
+refer to the "Build TLK" section.
+
+Once a BL32 is ready, TLKD can be compiled using the following command:
+
+CROSS_COMPILE=<path_to_linaro_chain>/bin/aarch64-none-elf- make NEED_BL1=0
+NEED_BL2=0 BL32=<path_to_BL32_image> PLAT=<platform> all

+Trusted Little Kernel (TLK)
+===========================
+TLK is a Trusted OS running as Secure EL1. It is a Free Open Source Software
+(FOSS) release of the NVIDIA® Trusted Little Kernel (TLK) technology, which
+extends technology made available with the development of the Little Kernel (LK).
+You can download the LK modular embedded preemptive kernel for use on ARM,
+x86, and AVR32 systems from https://github.com/travisg/lk
+
+NVIDIA implemented its Trusted Little Kernel (TLK) technology, designed as a
+free and open-source trusted execution environment (OTE).
+
+TLK features include:
+
+• Small, pre-emptive kernel
+• Supports multi-threading, IPCs, and thread scheduling
+• Added TrustZone features
+• Added Secure Storage
+• Under MIT/FreeBSD license
+
+NVIDIA extensions to Little Kernel (LK) include:
+
+• User mode
+• Address-space separation for TAs
+• TLK Client Application (CA) library
+• TLK TA library
+• Crypto library (encrypt/decrypt, key handling) via OpenSSL
+• Linux kernel driver
+• Cortex A9/A15 support
+• Power Management
+• TrustZone memory carve-out (reconfigurable)
+• Page table management
+• Debugging support over UART (USB planned)
+
+TLK is hosted by NVIDIA on http://nv-tegra.nvidia.com under the
+3rdparty/ote_partner/tlk.git repository. Detailed information about
+TLK and OTE can be found in the Tegra_BSP_for_Android_TLK_FOSS_Reference.pdf
+manual located under the "documentation" directory_.
+
+Build TLK
+=========
+To build and execute TLK, follow the instructions from "Building a TLK Device"
+section from Tegra_BSP_for_Android_TLK_FOSS_Reference.pdf manual.
