9## 1. Introduction
10The `optee_os` git repository contains the source code of a Trusted Execution
11Environment (TEE) as companion to a non-secure OS on ARM®
12Cortex-A cores using the TrustZone® technology. This component meets the
13[TEE System Architecture specifications](http://www.globalplatform.org/specificationsdevice.asp)
14and provides the
15[TEE Internal Core API v1.1](http://www.globalplatform.org/specificationsdevice.asp)
16as defined by the
17[GlobalPlatform Device technology TEE specifications](http://www.globalplatform.org/specificationsdevice.asp)
18for the development of
19Trusted Applications. For a general overview of OP-TEE and to find out how to
20contribute, please see the [Notice.md](Notice.md) file.
21
22The Trusted OS is accessible from the Rich OS (Linux) using the
23[GlobalPlatform TEE Client API Specification v1.0](http://www.globalplatform.org/specificationsdevice.asp),
24which also is used to trigger secure execution of applications within the TEE.

36## 3. Platforms supported
37Several platforms are supported. In order to manage slight differences
38between platforms, a `PLATFORM_FLAVOR` flag has been introduced.
39The `PLATFORM` and `PLATFORM_FLAVOR` flags define the whole configuration
40for a chip the where the Trusted OS runs. Note that there is also a
41composite form which makes it possible to append `PLATFORM_FLAVOR` directly,
42by adding a dash in-between the names. The composite form is shown below
43for the different boards. For more specific details about build flags etc,
44please read the file [build_system.md](documentation/build_system.md). Some
45platforms have different sub-maintainers, please refer to the file
46[MAINTAINERS](MAINTAINERS) for contact details for various platforms.
47
48The **Maintained?** column shows:
49
50- A green image if the platform is actively maintained: either tested successfully
51  with the latest release (N), or is a newly supported platform.
52- An orange image if the platform was last tested successfully with release N-1.
53- A red image if the last successful test report is older.

98## 5. Coding standards
99In this project we are trying to adhere to the same coding convention as used in
100the Linux kernel (see [CodingStyle]). We achieve this by running [checkpatch]
101from Linux kernel. However there are a few exceptions that we had to make since
102the code also follows GlobalPlatform standards. The exceptions are as follows:
103
104-	CamelCase for GlobalPlatform types are allowed.
105-	And we also exclude checking third party code that we might use in this
106	project, such as LibTomCrypt, MPA, newlib (not in this particular git, but
107	those are also part of the complete TEE solution, see
108	[Notice.md](Notice.md#repository-structure). The reason for
109	excluding and not fixing third party code is because we would probably
110	deviate too much from upstream and therefore it would be hard to rebase
111	against those projects later on and we don't expect that it is easy to
112	convince other software projects to change coding style.
113
114Regarding the checkpatch tool, since it is licensed under the terms of GNU GPL
115License Version 2, we
116cannot include this script directly into this project. Please use checkpatch
117directly from the Linux kernel git in combination with the local [checkpatch
118script].
