+-  ``FVP_HW_CONFIG_DTS`` : Specify the path to the DTS file to be compiled

+   details on HW_CONFIG. By default, this is initialized to a sensible DTS

+-  ``FVP_HW_CONFIG`` : Specify the path to the HW_CONFIG blob to be packaged in
+   FIP. See `Firmware Design`_ for details on HW_CONFIG. This option is
+   similar to the ``FVP_HW_CONFIG_DTS`` option, but it directly specifies the
+   HW_CONFIG blob instead of the DTS file. This option is useful to override
+   the default HW_CONFIG selected by the build system.
