+ARM Fixed Virtual Platforms (FVP)
+---------------------------------
+FVPs are simulated platforms produced by ARM to aid software development without
+the requirement for actual hardware. They come in several families, each of
+which (usually) contain variants for different configurations of simulated
+hardware. These are documented in the Fixed Virtual Platforms FVP Reference
+Guide (reference number ARM DUI0837H).
+
+Required properties (in root node):
+- compatible value:
+ compatible = "arm,<family>,<variant>", "arm,<family>";
+ where <family> is one of:
+ - "fvp-base" for the Base FVP
+ - "fvp-ve" for the VE FVP
+ and <variant> is the part of the model's executable filename with the family
+ name omitted, converted to lower case, and with non-alphanumeric characters
+ replaced with '-'. E.g. the Base FVP that has two AEMv8 CPU clusters has an
+ executable file called FVP_Base_AEMv8A-AEMv8A, so the compatible value for
+ this would be:
+ compatible = "arm,fvp-base,aemv8a-aemv8a", "arm,fvp-base";
