-### Configuring the GICv2 memory map
-
-The Base FVP models support GICv2 with the default model parameters at the
-following addresses. The Foundation FVP also supports these addresses when
-configured for GICv3 in GICv2 emulation mode.
-
-    GICv2 Distributor Interface     0x2f000000
-    GICv2 CPU Interface             0x2c000000
-    GICv2 Virtual CPU Interface     0x2c010000
-    GICv2 Hypervisor Interface      0x2c02f000
-
-The AEMv8 Base FVP can be configured to support GICv2 at addresses
-corresponding to the legacy (Versatile Express) memory map as follows. These are
-the default addresses when using the Foundation FVP in GICv2 mode.
-
-    GICv2 Distributor Interface     0x2c001000
-    GICv2 CPU Interface             0x2c002000
-    GICv2 Virtual CPU Interface     0x2c004000
-    GICv2 Hypervisor Interface      0x2c006000
-
-The choice of memory map is reflected in the build variant field (bits[15:12])
-in the `SYS_ID` register (Offset `0x0`) in the Versatile Express System
-registers memory map (`0x1c010000`).
-
-*   `SYS_ID.Build[15:12]`
-
-    `0x1` corresponds to the presence of the Base GIC memory map. This is the
-    default value on the Base FVPs.
-
-*   `SYS_ID.Build[15:12]`
-
-    `0x0` corresponds to the presence of the Legacy VE GIC memory map. This is
-    the default value on the Foundation FVP.
-
-This register can be configured as described in the following sections.
-
-NOTE: If the legacy VE GIC memory map is used, then Trusted Firmware must be
-compiled with the GICv2 only driver, and the corresponding FDT and BL33 images
-should be used.
-
-#### Configuring AEMv8 Foundation FVP GIC for legacy VE memory map
-
-The following parameters configure the Foundation FVP to use GICv2 with the
-legacy VE memory map:
-
-    <path-to>/Foundation_Platform             \
-    --cores=4                                 \
-    --secure-memory                           \
-    --visualization                           \
-    --no-gicv3                                \
-    --data="<path-to>/<bl1-binary>"@0x0       \
-    --data="<path-to>/<FIP-binary>"@0x8000000 \
-    --block-device="<path-to>/<file-system-image>"
-
-Explicit configuration of the `SYS_ID` register is not required.
-
-#### Configuring AEMv8 Base FVP GIC for legacy VE memory map
-
-The following parameters configure the AEMv8 Base FVP to use GICv2 with the
-legacy VE memory map. They must added to the parameters described in the
-"Running on the AEMv8 Base FVP" section above:
-
-    -C cluster0.gic.GICD-offset=0x1000                  \
-    -C cluster0.gic.GICC-offset=0x2000                  \
-    -C cluster0.gic.GICH-offset=0x4000                  \
-    -C cluster0.gic.GICH-other-CPU-offset=0x5000        \
-    -C cluster0.gic.GICV-offset=0x6000                  \
-    -C cluster0.gic.PERIPH-size=0x8000                  \
-    -C cluster1.gic.GICD-offset=0x1000                  \
-    -C cluster1.gic.GICC-offset=0x2000                  \
-    -C cluster1.gic.GICH-offset=0x4000                  \
-    -C cluster1.gic.GICH-other-CPU-offset=0x5000        \
-    -C cluster1.gic.GICV-offset=0x6000                  \
-    -C cluster1.gic.PERIPH-size=0x8000                  \
-    -C gic_distributor.GICD-alias=0x2c001000            \
-    -C gicv3.gicv2-only=1                               \
-    -C bp.variant=0x0
-
-The `bp.variant` parameter corresponds to the build variant field of the
-`SYS_ID` register.  Setting this to `0x0` allows the ARM Trusted Firmware to
-detect the legacy VE memory map while configuring the GIC.
