+External dependencies
+*********************
+
+In order to build TF-M the following external projects are required:
+
+ - `Mbed Crypto library <https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-crypto>`__ v3.0.1
+ is used as crypto library on the secure side
+ - `CMSIS Version 5 <https://github.com/ARM-software/CMSIS_5>`__ v5.5.0
+ is used to import RTX for the example non-secure app
+
+Each of the listed dependencies should be placed in a common root directory
+with trustedfirmware-m
+
+.. code-block:: bash

+ .
+ ├── CMSIS_5
+ ├── mbed-crypto
+ └── trusted-firmware-m
+
+.. Note::
+ `CMSIS_5` v5.5.0 has a known issue, affecting compilation using
