+Registering a console
+---------------------
+
+Platforms will need to implement the TF-A console framework to register and use
+a console for visual data output in TF-A. These can be used for data output during
+the different stages of the firmware boot process and also for debugging purposes.
+
+The console framework can be used to output data on to a console using a number of
+TF-A supported UARTs. Multiple consoles can be registered at the same time with
+different output scopes (BOOT, RUNTIME, CRASH) so that data can be displayed on
+their respective consoles without unnecessary cluttering of a single console.
+
+Information for registering a console can be found in the :ref:`Console Framework` section
+of the :ref:`System Design` documentation.
