+-  ``FAULT_INJECTION_SUPPORT``: ARMv8.4 externsions introduced support for fault
+   injection from lower ELs, and this build option enables lower ELs to use
+   Error Records accessed via System Registers to inject faults. This is
+   applicable only to AArch64 builds.
+
+   This feature is intended for testing purposes only, and is advisable to keep
+   disabled for production images.

 -  ``FIP_NAME``: This is an optional build option which specifies the FIP
    filename for the ``fip`` target. Default is ``fip.bin``.
