 Trusted Firmware Images
 -----------------------
 
+Firmware Image Package: ``FIP``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This is a packaging format used by TF-A to package firmware images in a single
+binary. The number and type of images that should be packed in a FIP is
+platform-specific and may include TF-A images and other firmware images
+required by the platform. For example, most platforms require a BL33 image
+which corresponds to the normal world bootloader (e.g. UEFI or U-Boot).

 AP Boot ROM: ``AP_BL1``
