+  The TI Firmware required for functionality of the system can be
+  one of the following combination (see platform specific boot diagram for
+  further information as to which component runs on which processor):
+
+  * **TIFS** - TI Foundational Security Firmware - Consists of purely firmware
+    meant to run on the security enclave.
+  * **DM** - Device Management firmware also called TI System Control Interface
+    server (TISCI Server) - This component purely plays the role of managing
+    device resources such as power, clock, interrupts, dma etc. This firmware
+    runs on a dedicated or multi-use microcontroller outside the security
+    enclave.
+
+ OR
+
+  * **SYSFW** - System firmware - consists of both TIFS and DM both running on
+    the security enclave.
