+=============================================
+Firmware TPM Driver
+=============================================
+
+This document describes the firmware Trusted Platform Module (fTPM)
+device driver.
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+This driver is a shim for firmware implemented in ARM's TrustZone
+environment. The driver allows programs to interact with the TPM in the same
+way they would interact with a hardware TPM.
+
+Design
+======
+
+The driver acts as a thin layer that passes commands to and from a TPM
+implemented in firmware. The driver itself doesn't contain much logic and is
+used more like a dumb pipe between firmware and kernel/userspace.
+
+The firmware itself is based on the following paper:
+https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/ftpm1.pdf
+
+When the driver is loaded it will expose ``/dev/tpmX`` character devices to
+userspace which will enable userspace to communicate with the firmware TPM
+through this device.
