+### Running the FVP without the UI
+
+If there is a need to run the FVP without the UI (e.g running the FVP inside of a docker container),
+it can be done as follows:
+
+Add `-C mps3_board.visualisation.disable-visualisation=1` and `-C mps3_board.telnetterminal0.start_telnet=0`
+to the command line arguments when starting the FVP. For example:
+
+```commandline
+FVP_install_location/models/Linux64_GCC-6.4/FVP_Corstone_SSE-300_Ethos-U55 \
+ -C mps3_board.visualisation.disable-visualisation=1 \
+ -C mps3_board.telnetterminal0.start_telnet=0 \
+ ./bin/mps3-sse-300/ethos-u-<use_case>.axf
+ ```
+
+Once the FVP reports waiting on telnet connections, connect to the first serverport from another terminal.
+Assuming the FVP has the telnet server running at the default port 5000, connect to it by:
+
+```commandline
+telnet localhost 5000
+```
+
## MPS3 board
> **Note:** Before proceeding, make sure that you have the MPS3 board powered on, and a USB A to B cable connected
