4. Getting the Trusted Firmware source code
--------------------------------------------
-The Trusted Firmware source code can be obtained as part of the standard Linaro
-releases, which provide a full software stack, including the Trusted Firmware,
-normal world firmware, Linux kernel and device tree, file system as well as any
-additional micro-controller firmware required by the platform. This version of
-Trusted Firmware is tested with the [Linaro 15.10 Release][Linaro Release Notes].

-Note 1: Both the LSK kernel or the latest tracking kernel can be used with the
-ARM Trusted Firmware, choose the one that best suits your needs.

Note 2: Currently to run the latest tracking kernel on FVP with GICv3 driver,
some modifications are required to UEFI. Refer

for more details.
-The Trusted Firmware source code can then be found in the `arm-tf/` directory.

-the `repo` tool is indicated by the manifest file. Depending on the manifest
-file you're using, this might not be the latest development version. To

git fetch github

git checkout --track github/master

git clone https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware.git
