4 This document describes how to build Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A) and run it with a
5 tested set of other software components using defined configurations on the Juno
6 Arm development platform and Arm Fixed Virtual Platform (FVP) models. It is
7 possible to use other software components, configurations and platforms but that
8 is outside the scope of this document.
9
10 This document assumes that the reader has previous experience running a fully
11 bootable Linux software stack on Juno or FVP using the prebuilt binaries and
12 filesystems provided by `Linaro`_. Further information may be found in the
13 `Linaro instructions`_. It also assumes that the user understands the role of
14 the different software components required to boot a Linux system:
15
16 - Specific firmware images required by the platform (e.g. SCP firmware on Juno)
17 - Normal world bootloader (e.g. UEFI or U-Boot)
18 - Device tree
19 - Linux kernel image
20 - Root filesystem
21
22 This document also assumes that the user is familiar with the `FVP models`_ and
23 the different command line options available to launch the model.
24
25 This document should be used in conjunction with the `Firmware Design`_.
26
27 Host machine requirements
28 -------------------------
29
30 The minimum recommended machine specification for building the software and
31 running the FVP models is a dual-core processor running at 2GHz with 12GB of
32 RAM. For best performance, use a machine with a quad-core processor running at
33 2.6GHz with 16GB of RAM.
34
35 The software has been tested on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (64-bit). Packages used for
36 building the software were installed from that distribution unless otherwise
37 specified.
38
39 The software has also been built on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1, using CMD.EXE,
40 Cygwin, and Msys (MinGW) shells, using version 5.3.1 of the GNU toolchain.
41
42 Tools
43 -----
44
45 Install the required packages to build TF-A with the following command:
46
47 .. code:: shell
48
49 sudo apt-get install device-tree-compiler build-essential gcc make git libssl-dev
50
51 TF-A has been tested with Linaro Release 18.04.
52
53 Download and install the AArch32 (arm-eabi) or AArch64 little-endian
54 (aarch64-linux-gnu) GCC cross compiler. If you would like to use the latest
55 features available, download GCC 8.3-2019.03 compiler from
56 `arm Developer page`_. Otherwise, the `Linaro Release Notes`_ documents which
57 version of the compiler to use for a given Linaro Release. Also, these
58 `Linaro instructions`_ provide further guidance and a script, which can be used
59 to download Linaro deliverables automatically.
60
61 Optionally, TF-A can be built using clang version 4.0 or newer or Arm
62 Compiler 6. See instructions below on how to switch the default compiler.
63
64 In addition, the following optional packages and tools may be needed:
65
66 - ``device-tree-compiler`` (dtc) package if you need to rebuild the Flattened Device
67 Tree (FDT) source files (``.dts`` files) provided with this software. The
68 version of dtc must be 1.4.6 or above.
69
70 - For debugging, Arm `Development Studio 5 (DS-5)`_.
71
72 - To create and modify the diagram files included in the documentation, `Dia`_.
73 This tool can be found in most Linux distributions. Inkscape is needed to
74 generate the actual \*.png files.
75
76 Getting the TF-A source code
77 ----------------------------
78
79 Clone the repository from the Gerrit server. The project details may be found
80 on the `arm-trusted-firmware-a project page`_. We recommend the "`Clone with
81 commit-msg hook`" clone method, which will setup the git commit hook that
82 automatically generates and inserts appropriate `Change-Id:` lines in your
83 commit messages.
84
85 Checking source code style
86 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
87
88 Trusted Firmware follows the `Linux Coding Style`_ . When making changes to the
89 source, for submission to the project, the source must be in compliance with
90 this style guide.
91
92 Additional, project-specific guidelines are defined in the `Trusted Firmware-A
93 Coding Guidelines`_ document.
94
95 To assist with coding style compliance, the project Makefile contains two
96 targets which both utilise the `checkpatch.pl` script that ships with the Linux
97 source tree. The project also defines certain *checkpatch* options in the
98 ``.checkpatch.conf`` file in the top-level directory.
99
100 .. note::
101 Checkpatch errors will gate upstream merging of pull requests.
102 Checkpatch warnings will not gate merging but should be reviewed and fixed if
103 possible.
104
105 To check the entire source tree, you must first download copies of
106 ``checkpatch.pl``, ``spelling.txt`` and ``const_structs.checkpatch`` available
107 in the `Linux master tree`_ *scripts* directory, then set the ``CHECKPATCH``
108 environment variable to point to ``checkpatch.pl`` (with the other 2 files in
109 the same directory) and build the `checkcodebase` target:
110
111 .. code:: shell
112
113 make CHECKPATCH=<path-to-linux>/linux/scripts/checkpatch.pl checkcodebase
114
115 To just check the style on the files that differ between your local branch and
116 the remote master, use:
117
118 .. code:: shell
119
120 make CHECKPATCH=<path-to-linux>/linux/scripts/checkpatch.pl checkpatch
121
122 If you wish to check your patch against something other than the remote master,
123 set the ``BASE_COMMIT`` variable to your desired branch. By default, ``BASE_COMMIT``
124 is set to ``origin/master``.
125
126 Building TF-A
127 -------------
128
129 - Before building TF-A, the environment variable ``CROSS_COMPILE`` must point
130 to the Linaro cross compiler.
131
132 For AArch64:
133
134 .. code:: shell
135
136 export CROSS_COMPILE=<path-to-aarch64-gcc>/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-
137
138 For AArch32:
139
140 .. code:: shell
141
142 export CROSS_COMPILE=<path-to-aarch32-gcc>/bin/arm-eabi-
143
144 It is possible to build TF-A using Clang or Arm Compiler 6. To do so
145 ``CC`` needs to point to the clang or armclang binary, which will
146 also select the clang or armclang assembler. Be aware that the
147 GNU linker is used by default. In case of being needed the linker
148 can be overridden using the ``LD`` variable. Clang linker version 6 is
149 known to work with TF-A.
150
151 In both cases ``CROSS_COMPILE`` should be set as described above.
152
153 Arm Compiler 6 will be selected when the base name of the path assigned
154 to ``CC`` matches the string 'armclang'.
155
156 For AArch64 using Arm Compiler 6:
157
158 .. code:: shell
159
160 export CROSS_COMPILE=<path-to-aarch64-gcc>/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-
161 make CC=<path-to-armclang>/bin/armclang PLAT=<platform> all
162
163 Clang will be selected when the base name of the path assigned to ``CC``
164 contains the string 'clang'. This is to allow both clang and clang-X.Y
165 to work.
166
167 For AArch64 using clang:
168
169 .. code:: shell
170
171 export CROSS_COMPILE=<path-to-aarch64-gcc>/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-
172 make CC=<path-to-clang>/bin/clang PLAT=<platform> all
173
174 - Change to the root directory of the TF-A source tree and build.
175
176 For AArch64:
177
178 .. code:: shell
179
180 make PLAT=<platform> all
181
182 For AArch32:
183
184 .. code:: shell
185
186 make PLAT=<platform> ARCH=aarch32 AARCH32_SP=sp_min all
187
188 Notes:
189
190 - If ``PLAT`` is not specified, ``fvp`` is assumed by default. See the
191 `Summary of build options`_ for more information on available build
192 options.
193
194 - (AArch32 only) Currently only ``PLAT=fvp`` is supported.
195
196 - (AArch32 only) ``AARCH32_SP`` is the AArch32 EL3 Runtime Software and it
197 corresponds to the BL32 image. A minimal ``AARCH32_SP``, sp_min, is
198 provided by TF-A to demonstrate how PSCI Library can be integrated with
199 an AArch32 EL3 Runtime Software. Some AArch32 EL3 Runtime Software may
200 include other runtime services, for example Trusted OS services. A guide
201 to integrate PSCI library with AArch32 EL3 Runtime Software can be found
202 `here`_.
203
204 - (AArch64 only) The TSP (Test Secure Payload), corresponding to the BL32
205 image, is not compiled in by default. Refer to the
206 `Building the Test Secure Payload`_ section below.
207
208 - By default this produces a release version of the build. To produce a
209 debug version instead, refer to the "Debugging options" section below.
210
211 - The build process creates products in a ``build`` directory tree, building
212 the objects and binaries for each boot loader stage in separate
213 sub-directories. The following boot loader binary files are created
214 from the corresponding ELF files:
215
216 - ``build/<platform>/<build-type>/bl1.bin``
217 - ``build/<platform>/<build-type>/bl2.bin``
218 - ``build/<platform>/<build-type>/bl31.bin`` (AArch64 only)
219 - ``build/<platform>/<build-type>/bl32.bin`` (mandatory for AArch32)
220
221 where ``<platform>`` is the name of the chosen platform and ``<build-type>``
222 is either ``debug`` or ``release``. The actual number of images might differ
223 depending on the platform.
224
225 - Build products for a specific build variant can be removed using:
226
227 .. code:: shell
228
229 make DEBUG=<D> PLAT=<platform> clean
230
231 ... where ``<D>`` is ``0`` or ``1``, as specified when building.
232
233 The build tree can be removed completely using:
234
235 .. code:: shell
236
237 make realclean
238
239 Summary of build options
240 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
241
242 The TF-A build system supports the following build options. Unless mentioned
243 otherwise, these options are expected to be specified at the build command
244 line and are not to be modified in any component makefiles. Note that the
245 build system doesn't track dependency for build options. Therefore, if any of
246 the build options are changed from a previous build, a clean build must be
247 performed.
248
249 Common build options
250 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
251
252 - ``AARCH32_INSTRUCTION_SET``: Choose the AArch32 instruction set that the
253 compiler should use. Valid values are T32 and A32. It defaults to T32 due to
254 code having a smaller resulting size.
255
256 - ``AARCH32_SP`` : Choose the AArch32 Secure Payload component to be built as
257 as the BL32 image when ``ARCH=aarch32``. The value should be the path to the
258 directory containing the SP source, relative to the ``bl32/``; the directory
259 is expected to contain a makefile called ``<aarch32_sp-value>.mk``.
260
261 - ``ARCH`` : Choose the target build architecture for TF-A. It can take either
262 ``aarch64`` or ``aarch32`` as values. By default, it is defined to
263 ``aarch64``.
264
265 - ``ARM_ARCH_MAJOR``: The major version of Arm Architecture to target when
266 compiling TF-A. Its value must be numeric, and defaults to 8 . See also,
267 *Armv8 Architecture Extensions* and *Armv7 Architecture Extensions* in
268 `Firmware Design`_.
269
270 - ``ARM_ARCH_MINOR``: The minor version of Arm Architecture to target when
271 compiling TF-A. Its value must be a numeric, and defaults to 0. See also,
272 *Armv8 Architecture Extensions* in `Firmware Design`_.
273
274 - ``BL2``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to BL2
275 image for the ``fip`` target. In this case, the BL2 in the TF-A will not be
276 built.
277
278 - ``BL2U``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to
279 BL2U image. In this case, the BL2U in TF-A will not be built.
280
281 - ``BL2_AT_EL3``: This is an optional build option that enables the use of
282 BL2 at EL3 execution level.
283
284 - ``BL2_IN_XIP_MEM``: In some use-cases BL2 will be stored in eXecute In Place
285 (XIP) memory, like BL1. In these use-cases, it is necessary to initialize
286 the RW sections in RAM, while leaving the RO sections in place. This option
287 enable this use-case. For now, this option is only supported when BL2_AT_EL3
288 is set to '1'.
289
290 - ``BL2_INV_DCACHE``: This is an optional build option which control dcache
291 invalidation upon BL2 entry. Some platform cannot handle cache operations
292 during entry as the coherency unit is not yet initialized. This may cause
293 crashing. Leaving this option to '1' (default) will allow the operation.
294 This option is only relevant when BL2_AT_EL3 is set to '1'.
295
296 - ``BL31``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to
297 BL31 image for the ``fip`` target. In this case, the BL31 in TF-A will not
298 be built.
299
300 - ``BL31_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies the
301 file that contains the BL31 private key in PEM format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``,
302 this file name will be used to save the key.
303
304 - ``BL32``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to
305 BL32 image for the ``fip`` target. In this case, the BL32 in TF-A will not
306 be built.
307
308 - ``BL32_EXTRA1``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to
309 Trusted OS Extra1 image for the ``fip`` target.
310
311 - ``BL32_EXTRA2``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to
312 Trusted OS Extra2 image for the ``fip`` target.
313
314 - ``BL32_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies the
315 file that contains the BL32 private key in PEM format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``,
316 this file name will be used to save the key.
317
318 - ``BL33``: Path to BL33 image in the host file system. This is mandatory for
319 ``fip`` target in case TF-A BL2 is used.
320
321 - ``BL33_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies the
322 file that contains the BL33 private key in PEM format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``,
323 this file name will be used to save the key.
324
325 - ``BRANCH_PROTECTION``: Numeric value to enable ARMv8.3 Pointer Authentication
326 and ARMv8.5 Branch Target Identification support for TF-A BL images themselves.
327 If enabled, it is needed to use a compiler (e.g GCC 9.1 and later versions) that
328 supports the option ``-mbranch-protection``.
329 Selects the branch protection features to use:
330 - 0: Default value turns off all types of branch protection
331 - 1: Enables all types of branch protection features
332 - 2: Return address signing to its standard level
333 - 3: Extend the signing to include leaf functions
334
335 The table below summarizes ``BRANCH_PROTECTION`` values, GCC compilation options
336 and resulting PAuth/BTI features.
337
338 +-------+--------------+-------+-----+
339 | Value | GCC option | PAuth | BTI |
340 +=======+==============+=======+=====+
341 | 0 | none | N | N |
342 +-------+--------------+-------+-----+
343 | 1 | standard | Y | Y |
344 +-------+--------------+-------+-----+
345 | 2 | pac-ret | Y | N |
346 +-------+--------------+-------+-----+
347 | 3 | pac-ret+leaf | Y | N |
348 +-------+--------------+-------+-----+
349
350 This option defaults to 0 and this is an experimental feature.
351 Note that Pointer Authentication is enabled for Non-secure world
352 irrespective of the value of this option if the CPU supports it.
353
354 - ``BUILD_MESSAGE_TIMESTAMP``: String used to identify the time and date of the
355 compilation of each build. It must be set to a C string (including quotes
356 where applicable). Defaults to a string that contains the time and date of
357 the compilation.
358
359 - ``BUILD_STRING``: Input string for VERSION_STRING, which allows the TF-A
360 build to be uniquely identified. Defaults to the current git commit id.
361
362 - ``CFLAGS``: Extra user options appended on the compiler's command line in
363 addition to the options set by the build system.
364
365 - ``COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU``: This option indicates whether the platform may
366 release several CPUs out of reset. It can take either 0 (several CPUs may be
367 brought up) or 1 (only one CPU will ever be brought up during cold reset).
368 Default is 0. If the platform always brings up a single CPU, there is no
369 need to distinguish between primary and secondary CPUs and the boot path can
370 be optimised. The ``plat_is_my_cpu_primary()`` and
371 ``plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup()`` platform porting interfaces do not need
372 to be implemented in this case.
373
374 - ``CRASH_REPORTING``: A non-zero value enables a console dump of processor
375 register state when an unexpected exception occurs during execution of
376 BL31. This option defaults to the value of ``DEBUG`` - i.e. by default
377 this is only enabled for a debug build of the firmware.
378
379 - ``CREATE_KEYS``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It tells the
380 certificate generation tool to create new keys in case no valid keys are
381 present or specified. Allowed options are '0' or '1'. Default is '1'.
382
383 - ``CTX_INCLUDE_AARCH32_REGS`` : Boolean option that, when set to 1, will cause
384 the AArch32 system registers to be included when saving and restoring the
385 CPU context. The option must be set to 0 for AArch64-only platforms (that
386 is on hardware that does not implement AArch32, or at least not at EL1 and
387 higher ELs). Default value is 1.
388
389 - ``CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS``: Boolean option that, when set to 1, will cause the FP
390 registers to be included when saving and restoring the CPU context. Default
391 is 0.
392
393 - ``CTX_INCLUDE_MTE_REGS``: Enables register saving/reloading support for
394 ARMv8.5 Memory Tagging Extension. A value of 0 will disable
395 saving/reloading and restrict the use of MTE to the normal world if the
396 CPU has support, while a value of 1 enables the saving/reloading, allowing
397 the use of MTE in both the secure and non-secure worlds. Default is 0
398 (disabled) and this feature is experimental.
399
400 - ``CTX_INCLUDE_PAUTH_REGS``: Boolean option that, when set to 1, enables
401 Pointer Authentication for Secure world. This will cause the ARMv8.3-PAuth
402 registers to be included when saving and restoring the CPU context as
403 part of world switch. Default value is 0 and this is an experimental feature.
404 Note that Pointer Authentication is enabled for Non-secure world irrespective
405 of the value of this flag if the CPU supports it.
406
407 - ``DEBUG``: Chooses between a debug and release build. It can take either 0
408 (release) or 1 (debug) as values. 0 is the default.
409
410 - ``DISABLE_BIN_GENERATION``: Boolean option to disable the generation
411 of the binary image. If set to 1, then only the ELF image is built.
412 0 is the default.
413
414 - ``DYN_DISABLE_AUTH``: Provides the capability to dynamically disable Trusted
415 Board Boot authentication at runtime. This option is meant to be enabled only
416 for development platforms. ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` flag must be set if this
417 flag has to be enabled. 0 is the default.
418
419 - ``E``: Boolean option to make warnings into errors. Default is 1.
420
421 - ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE``: This option enables booting an EL3 payload instead of
422 the normal boot flow. It must specify the entry point address of the EL3
423 payload. Please refer to the "Booting an EL3 payload" section for more
424 details.
425
426 - ``ENABLE_AMU``: Boolean option to enable Activity Monitor Unit extensions.
427 This is an optional architectural feature available on v8.4 onwards. Some
428 v8.2 implementations also implement an AMU and this option can be used to
429 enable this feature on those systems as well. Default is 0.
430
431 - ``ENABLE_ASSERTIONS``: This option controls whether or not calls to ``assert()``
432 are compiled out. For debug builds, this option defaults to 1, and calls to
433 ``assert()`` are left in place. For release builds, this option defaults to 0
434 and calls to ``assert()`` function are compiled out. This option can be set
435 independently of ``DEBUG``. It can also be used to hide any auxiliary code
436 that is only required for the assertion and does not fit in the assertion
437 itself.
438
439 - ``ENABLE_BACKTRACE``: This option controls whether to enables backtrace
440 dumps or not. It is supported in both AArch64 and AArch32. However, in
441 AArch32 the format of the frame records are not defined in the AAPCS and they
442 are defined by the implementation. This implementation of backtrace only
443 supports the format used by GCC when T32 interworking is disabled. For this
444 reason enabling this option in AArch32 will force the compiler to only
445 generate A32 code. This option is enabled by default only in AArch64 debug
446 builds, but this behaviour can be overridden in each platform's Makefile or
447 in the build command line.
448
449 - ``ENABLE_MPAM_FOR_LOWER_ELS``: Boolean option to enable lower ELs to use MPAM
450 feature. MPAM is an optional Armv8.4 extension that enables various memory
451 system components and resources to define partitions; software running at
452 various ELs can assign themselves to desired partition to control their
453 performance aspects.
454
455 When this option is set to ``1``, EL3 allows lower ELs to access their own
456 MPAM registers without trapping into EL3. This option doesn't make use of
457 partitioning in EL3, however. Platform initialisation code should configure
458 and use partitions in EL3 as required. This option defaults to ``0``.
459
460 - ``ENABLE_PIE``: Boolean option to enable Position Independent Executable(PIE)
461 support within generic code in TF-A. This option is currently only supported
462 in BL31. Default is 0.
463
464 - ``ENABLE_PMF``: Boolean option to enable support for optional Performance
465 Measurement Framework(PMF). Default is 0.
466
467 - ``ENABLE_PSCI_STAT``: Boolean option to enable support for optional PSCI
468 functions ``PSCI_STAT_RESIDENCY`` and ``PSCI_STAT_COUNT``. Default is 0.
469 In the absence of an alternate stat collection backend, ``ENABLE_PMF`` must
470 be enabled. If ``ENABLE_PMF`` is set, the residency statistics are tracked in
471 software.
472
473 - ``ENABLE_RUNTIME_INSTRUMENTATION``: Boolean option to enable runtime
474 instrumentation which injects timestamp collection points into TF-A to
475 allow runtime performance to be measured. Currently, only PSCI is
476 instrumented. Enabling this option enables the ``ENABLE_PMF`` build option
477 as well. Default is 0.
478
479 - ``ENABLE_SPE_FOR_LOWER_ELS`` : Boolean option to enable Statistical Profiling
480 extensions. This is an optional architectural feature for AArch64.
481 The default is 1 but is automatically disabled when the target architecture
482 is AArch32.
483
484 - ``ENABLE_SPM`` : Boolean option to enable the Secure Partition Manager (SPM).
485 Refer to the `Secure Partition Manager Design guide`_ for more details about
486 this feature. Default is 0.
487
488 - ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS``: Boolean option to enable Scalable Vector Extension
489 (SVE) for the Non-secure world only. SVE is an optional architectural feature
490 for AArch64. Note that when SVE is enabled for the Non-secure world, access
491 to SIMD and floating-point functionality from the Secure world is disabled.
492 This is to avoid corruption of the Non-secure world data in the Z-registers
493 which are aliased by the SIMD and FP registers. The build option is not
494 compatible with the ``CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS`` build option, and will raise an
495 assert on platforms where SVE is implemented and ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS`` set to
496 1. The default is 1 but is automatically disabled when the target
497 architecture is AArch32.
498
499 - ``ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR``: String option to enable the stack protection
500 checks in GCC. Allowed values are "all", "strong", "default" and "none". The
501 default value is set to "none". "strong" is the recommended stack protection
502 level if this feature is desired. "none" disables the stack protection. For
503 all values other than "none", the ``plat_get_stack_protector_canary()``
504 platform hook needs to be implemented. The value is passed as the last
505 component of the option ``-fstack-protector-$ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR``.
506
507 - ``ERROR_DEPRECATED``: This option decides whether to treat the usage of
508 deprecated platform APIs, helper functions or drivers within Trusted
509 Firmware as error. It can take the value 1 (flag the use of deprecated
510 APIs as error) or 0. The default is 0.
511
512 - ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING``: When set to ``1``, enable handling of exceptions
513 targeted at EL3. When set ``0`` (default), no exceptions are expected or
514 handled at EL3, and a panic will result. This is supported only for AArch64
515 builds.
516
517 - ``FAULT_INJECTION_SUPPORT``: ARMv8.4 extensions introduced support for fault
518 injection from lower ELs, and this build option enables lower ELs to use
519 Error Records accessed via System Registers to inject faults. This is
520 applicable only to AArch64 builds.
521
522 This feature is intended for testing purposes only, and is advisable to keep
523 disabled for production images.
524
525 - ``FIP_NAME``: This is an optional build option which specifies the FIP
526 filename for the ``fip`` target. Default is ``fip.bin``.
527
528 - ``FWU_FIP_NAME``: This is an optional build option which specifies the FWU
529 FIP filename for the ``fwu_fip`` target. Default is ``fwu_fip.bin``.
530
531 - ``GENERATE_COT``: Boolean flag used to build and execute the ``cert_create``
532 tool to create certificates as per the Chain of Trust described in
533 `Trusted Board Boot`_. The build system then calls ``fiptool`` to
534 include the certificates in the FIP and FWU_FIP. Default value is '0'.
535
536 Specify both ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1`` and ``GENERATE_COT=1`` to include support
537 for the Trusted Board Boot feature in the BL1 and BL2 images, to generate
538 the corresponding certificates, and to include those certificates in the
539 FIP and FWU_FIP.
540
541 Note that if ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=0`` and ``GENERATE_COT=1``, the BL1 and BL2
542 images will not include support for Trusted Board Boot. The FIP will still
543 include the corresponding certificates. This FIP can be used to verify the
544 Chain of Trust on the host machine through other mechanisms.
545
546 Note that if ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1`` and ``GENERATE_COT=0``, the BL1 and BL2
547 images will include support for Trusted Board Boot, but the FIP and FWU_FIP
548 will not include the corresponding certificates, causing a boot failure.
549
550 - ``GICV2_G0_FOR_EL3``: Unlike GICv3, the GICv2 architecture doesn't have
551 inherent support for specific EL3 type interrupts. Setting this build option
552 to ``1`` assumes GICv2 *Group 0* interrupts are expected to target EL3, both
553 by `platform abstraction layer`__ and `Interrupt Management Framework`__.
554 This allows GICv2 platforms to enable features requiring EL3 interrupt type.
555 This also means that all GICv2 Group 0 interrupts are delivered to EL3, and
556 the Secure Payload interrupts needs to be synchronously handed over to Secure
557 EL1 for handling. The default value of this option is ``0``, which means the
558 Group 0 interrupts are assumed to be handled by Secure EL1.
559
560 .. __: `platform-interrupt-controller-API.rst`
561 .. __: `interrupt-framework-design.rst`
562
563 - ``HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST``: When set to ``1``, External Aborts and SError
564 Interrupts will be always trapped in EL3 i.e. in BL31 at runtime. When set to
565 ``0`` (default), these exceptions will be trapped in the current exception
566 level (or in EL1 if the current exception level is EL0).
567
568 - ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY``: On most Arm systems to-date, platform-specific
569 software operations are required for CPUs to enter and exit coherency.
570 However, newer systems exist where CPUs' entry to and exit from coherency
571 is managed in hardware. Such systems require software to only initiate these
572 operations, and the rest is managed in hardware, minimizing active software
573 management. In such systems, this boolean option enables TF-A to carry out
574 build and run-time optimizations during boot and power management operations.
575 This option defaults to 0 and if it is enabled, then it implies
576 ``WARMBOOT_ENABLE_DCACHE_EARLY`` is also enabled.
577
578 If this flag is disabled while the platform which TF-A is compiled for
579 includes cores that manage coherency in hardware, then a compilation error is
580 generated. This is based on the fact that a system cannot have, at the same
581 time, cores that manage coherency in hardware and cores that don't. In other
582 words, a platform cannot have, at the same time, cores that require
583 ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY=1`` and cores that require
584 ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY=0``.
585
586 Note that, when ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY`` is enabled, version 2 of
587 translation library (xlat tables v2) must be used; version 1 of translation
588 library is not supported.
589
590 - ``JUNO_AARCH32_EL3_RUNTIME``: This build flag enables you to execute EL3
591 runtime software in AArch32 mode, which is required to run AArch32 on Juno.
592 By default this flag is set to '0'. Enabling this flag builds BL1 and BL2 in
593 AArch64 and facilitates the loading of ``SP_MIN`` and BL33 as AArch32 executable
594 images.
595
596 - ``KEY_ALG``: This build flag enables the user to select the algorithm to be
597 used for generating the PKCS keys and subsequent signing of the certificate.
598 It accepts 2 values: ``rsa`` and ``ecdsa``. The default value of this flag
599 is ``rsa`` which is the TBBR compliant PKCS#1 RSA 2.1 scheme.
600
601 - ``KEY_SIZE``: This build flag enables the user to select the key size for
602 the algorithm specified by ``KEY_ALG``. The valid values for ``KEY_SIZE``
603 depend on the chosen algorithm.
604
605 +-----------+------------------------------------+
606 | KEY_ALG | Possible key sizes |
607 +===========+====================================+
608 | rsa | 1024, 2048 (default), 3072, 4096 |
609 +-----------+------------------------------------+
610 | ecdsa | unavailable |
611 +-----------+------------------------------------+
612
613 - ``HASH_ALG``: This build flag enables the user to select the secure hash
614 algorithm. It accepts 3 values: ``sha256``, ``sha384`` and ``sha512``.
615 The default value of this flag is ``sha256``.
616
617 - ``LDFLAGS``: Extra user options appended to the linkers' command line in
618 addition to the one set by the build system.
619
620 - ``LOG_LEVEL``: Chooses the log level, which controls the amount of console log
621 output compiled into the build. This should be one of the following:
622
623 ::
624
625 0 (LOG_LEVEL_NONE)
626 10 (LOG_LEVEL_ERROR)
627 20 (LOG_LEVEL_NOTICE)
628 30 (LOG_LEVEL_WARNING)
629 40 (LOG_LEVEL_INFO)
630 50 (LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE)
631
632 All log output up to and including the selected log level is compiled into
633 the build. The default value is 40 in debug builds and 20 in release builds.
634
635 - ``NON_TRUSTED_WORLD_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It
636 specifies the file that contains the Non-Trusted World private key in PEM
637 format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, this file name will be used to save the key.
638
639 - ``NS_BL2U``: Path to NS_BL2U image in the host file system. This image is
640 optional. It is only needed if the platform makefile specifies that it
641 is required in order to build the ``fwu_fip`` target.
642
643 - ``NS_TIMER_SWITCH``: Enable save and restore for non-secure timer register
644 contents upon world switch. It can take either 0 (don't save and restore) or
645 1 (do save and restore). 0 is the default. An SPD may set this to 1 if it
646 wants the timer registers to be saved and restored.
647
648 - ``OVERRIDE_LIBC``: This option allows platforms to override the default libc
649 for the BL image. It can be either 0 (include) or 1 (remove). The default
650 value is 0.
651
652 - ``PL011_GENERIC_UART``: Boolean option to indicate the PL011 driver that
653 the underlying hardware is not a full PL011 UART but a minimally compliant
654 generic UART, which is a subset of the PL011. The driver will not access
655 any register that is not part of the SBSA generic UART specification.
656 Default value is 0 (a full PL011 compliant UART is present).
657
658 - ``PLAT``: Choose a platform to build TF-A for. The chosen platform name
659 must be subdirectory of any depth under ``plat/``, and must contain a
660 platform makefile named ``platform.mk``. For example, to build TF-A for the
661 Arm Juno board, select PLAT=juno.
662
663 - ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE``: This option enables booting a preloaded BL33 image
664 instead of the normal boot flow. When defined, it must specify the entry
665 point address for the preloaded BL33 image. This option is incompatible with
666 ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE``. If both are defined, ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE`` has priority
667 over ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE``.
668
669 - ``PROGRAMMABLE_RESET_ADDRESS``: This option indicates whether the reset
670 vector address can be programmed or is fixed on the platform. It can take
671 either 0 (fixed) or 1 (programmable). Default is 0. If the platform has a
672 programmable reset address, it is expected that a CPU will start executing
673 code directly at the right address, both on a cold and warm reset. In this
674 case, there is no need to identify the entrypoint on boot and the boot path
675 can be optimised. The ``plat_get_my_entrypoint()`` platform porting interface
676 does not need to be implemented in this case.
677
678 - ``PSCI_EXTENDED_STATE_ID``: As per PSCI1.0 Specification, there are 2 formats
679 possible for the PSCI power-state parameter: original and extended State-ID
680 formats. This flag if set to 1, configures the generic PSCI layer to use the
681 extended format. The default value of this flag is 0, which means by default
682 the original power-state format is used by the PSCI implementation. This flag
683 should be specified by the platform makefile and it governs the return value
684 of PSCI_FEATURES API for CPU_SUSPEND smc function id. When this option is
685 enabled on Arm platforms, the option ``ARM_RECOM_STATE_ID_ENC`` needs to be
686 set to 1 as well.
687
688 - ``RAS_EXTENSION``: When set to ``1``, enable Armv8.2 RAS features. RAS features
689 are an optional extension for pre-Armv8.2 CPUs, but are mandatory for Armv8.2
690 or later CPUs.
691
692 When ``RAS_EXTENSION`` is set to ``1``, ``HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST`` must also be
693 set to ``1``.
694
695 This option is disabled by default.
696
697 - ``RESET_TO_BL31``: Enable BL31 entrypoint as the CPU reset vector instead
698 of the BL1 entrypoint. It can take the value 0 (CPU reset to BL1
699 entrypoint) or 1 (CPU reset to BL31 entrypoint).
700 The default value is 0.
701
702 - ``RESET_TO_SP_MIN``: SP_MIN is the minimal AArch32 Secure Payload provided
703 in TF-A. This flag configures SP_MIN entrypoint as the CPU reset vector
704 instead of the BL1 entrypoint. It can take the value 0 (CPU reset to BL1
705 entrypoint) or 1 (CPU reset to SP_MIN entrypoint). The default value is 0.
706
707 - ``ROT_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies the
708 file that contains the ROT private key in PEM format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, this
709 file name will be used to save the key.
710
711 - ``SANITIZE_UB``: This option enables the Undefined Behaviour sanitizer. It
712 can take 3 values: 'off' (default), 'on' and 'trap'. When using 'trap',
713 gcc and clang will insert calls to ``__builtin_trap`` on detected
714 undefined behaviour, which defaults to a ``brk`` instruction. When using
715 'on', undefined behaviour is translated to a call to special handlers which
716 prints the exact location of the problem and its cause and then panics.
717
718 .. note::
719 Because of the space penalty of the Undefined Behaviour sanitizer,
720 this option will increase the size of the binary. Depending on the
721 memory constraints of the target platform, it may not be possible to
722 enable the sanitizer for all images (BL1 and BL2 are especially
723 likely to be memory constrained). We recommend that the
724 sanitizer is enabled only in debug builds.
725
726 - ``SAVE_KEYS``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It tells the
727 certificate generation tool to save the keys used to establish the Chain of
728 Trust. Allowed options are '0' or '1'. Default is '0' (do not save).
729
730 - ``SCP_BL2``: Path to SCP_BL2 image in the host file system. This image is optional.
731 If a SCP_BL2 image is present then this option must be passed for the ``fip``
732 target.
733
734 - ``SCP_BL2_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies the
735 file that contains the SCP_BL2 private key in PEM format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``,
736 this file name will be used to save the key.
737
738 - ``SCP_BL2U``: Path to SCP_BL2U image in the host file system. This image is
739 optional. It is only needed if the platform makefile specifies that it
740 is required in order to build the ``fwu_fip`` target.
741
742 - ``SDEI_SUPPORT``: Setting this to ``1`` enables support for Software
743 Delegated Exception Interface to BL31 image. This defaults to ``0``.
744
745 When set to ``1``, the build option ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING`` must also be
746 set to ``1``.
747
748 - ``SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA``: Whether code and read-only data should be
749 isolated on separate memory pages. This is a trade-off between security and
750 memory usage. See "Isolating code and read-only data on separate memory
751 pages" section in `Firmware Design`_. This flag is disabled by default and
752 affects all BL images.
753
754 - ``SPD``: Choose a Secure Payload Dispatcher component to be built into TF-A.
755 This build option is only valid if ``ARCH=aarch64``. The value should be
756 the path to the directory containing the SPD source, relative to
757 ``services/spd/``; the directory is expected to contain a makefile called
758 ``<spd-value>.mk``.
759
760 - ``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT``: This option introduces an infinite loop in BL1. It can
761 take either 0 (no loop) or 1 (add a loop). 0 is the default. This loop stops
762 execution in BL1 just before handing over to BL31. At this point, all
763 firmware images have been loaded in memory, and the MMU and caches are
764 turned off. Refer to the "Debugging options" section for more details.
765
766 - ``SP_MIN_WITH_SECURE_FIQ``: Boolean flag to indicate the SP_MIN handles
767 secure interrupts (caught through the FIQ line). Platforms can enable
768 this directive if they need to handle such interruption. When enabled,
769 the FIQ are handled in monitor mode and non secure world is not allowed
770 to mask these events. Platforms that enable FIQ handling in SP_MIN shall
771 implement the api ``sp_min_plat_fiq_handler()``. The default value is 0.
772
773 - ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT``: Boolean flag to include support for the Trusted Board
774 Boot feature. When set to '1', BL1 and BL2 images include support to load
775 and verify the certificates and images in a FIP, and BL1 includes support
776 for the Firmware Update. The default value is '0'. Generation and inclusion
777 of certificates in the FIP and FWU_FIP depends upon the value of the
778 ``GENERATE_COT`` option.
779
780 .. warning::
781 This option depends on ``CREATE_KEYS`` to be enabled. If the keys
782 already exist in disk, they will be overwritten without further notice.
783
784 - ``TRUSTED_WORLD_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It
785 specifies the file that contains the Trusted World private key in PEM
786 format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, this file name will be used to save the key.
787
788 - ``TSP_INIT_ASYNC``: Choose BL32 initialization method as asynchronous or
789 synchronous, (see "Initializing a BL32 Image" section in
790 `Firmware Design`_). It can take the value 0 (BL32 is initialized using
791 synchronous method) or 1 (BL32 is initialized using asynchronous method).
792 Default is 0.
793
794 - ``TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT``: A non zero value enables the interrupt
795 routing model which routes non-secure interrupts asynchronously from TSP
796 to EL3 causing immediate preemption of TSP. The EL3 is responsible
797 for saving and restoring the TSP context in this routing model. The
798 default routing model (when the value is 0) is to route non-secure
799 interrupts to TSP allowing it to save its context and hand over
800 synchronously to EL3 via an SMC.
801
802 .. note::
803 When ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING`` is ``1``, ``TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT``
804 must also be set to ``1``.
805
806 - ``USE_ARM_LINK``: This flag determines whether to enable support for ARM
807 linker. When the ``LINKER`` build variable points to the armlink linker,
808 this flag is enabled automatically. To enable support for armlink, platforms
809 will have to provide a scatter file for the BL image. Currently, Tegra
810 platforms use the armlink support to compile BL3-1 images.
811
812 - ``USE_COHERENT_MEM``: This flag determines whether to include the coherent
813 memory region in the BL memory map or not (see "Use of Coherent memory in
814 TF-A" section in `Firmware Design`_). It can take the value 1
815 (Coherent memory region is included) or 0 (Coherent memory region is
816 excluded). Default is 1.
817
818 - ``USE_ROMLIB``: This flag determines whether library at ROM will be used.
819 This feature creates a library of functions to be placed in ROM and thus
820 reduces SRAM usage. Refer to `Library at ROM`_ for further details. Default
821 is 0.
822
823 - ``USE_SPINLOCK_CAS``: Setting this build flag to 1 selects the spinlock
824 implementation variant using the ARMv8.1-LSE compare-and-swap instruction.
825 Notice this option is experimental and only available to AArch64 builds.
826
827 - ``V``: Verbose build. If assigned anything other than 0, the build commands
828 are printed. Default is 0.
829
830 - ``VERSION_STRING``: String used in the log output for each TF-A image.
831 Defaults to a string formed by concatenating the version number, build type
832 and build string.
833
834 - ``W``: Warning level. Some compiler warning options of interest have been
835 regrouped and put in the root Makefile. This flag can take the values 0 to 3,
836 each level enabling more warning options. Default is 0.
837
838 - ``WARMBOOT_ENABLE_DCACHE_EARLY`` : Boolean option to enable D-cache early on
839 the CPU after warm boot. This is applicable for platforms which do not
840 require interconnect programming to enable cache coherency (eg: single
841 cluster platforms). If this option is enabled, then warm boot path
842 enables D-caches immediately after enabling MMU. This option defaults to 0.
843
844 Arm development platform specific build options
845 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
846
847 - ``ARM_BL31_IN_DRAM``: Boolean option to select loading of BL31 in TZC secured
848 DRAM. By default, BL31 is in the secure SRAM. Set this flag to 1 to load
849 BL31 in TZC secured DRAM. If TSP is present, then setting this option also
850 sets the TSP location to DRAM and ignores the ``ARM_TSP_RAM_LOCATION`` build
851 flag.
852
853 - ``ARM_CONFIG_CNTACR``: boolean option to unlock access to the ``CNTBase<N>``
854 frame registers by setting the ``CNTCTLBase.CNTACR<N>`` register bits. The
855 frame number ``<N>`` is defined by ``PLAT_ARM_NSTIMER_FRAME_ID``, which should
856 match the frame used by the Non-Secure image (normally the Linux kernel).
857 Default is true (access to the frame is allowed).
858
859 - ``ARM_DISABLE_TRUSTED_WDOG``: boolean option to disable the Trusted Watchdog.
860 By default, Arm platforms use a watchdog to trigger a system reset in case
861 an error is encountered during the boot process (for example, when an image
862 could not be loaded or authenticated). The watchdog is enabled in the early
863 platform setup hook at BL1 and disabled in the BL1 prepare exit hook. The
864 Trusted Watchdog may be disabled at build time for testing or development
865 purposes.
866
867 - ``ARM_LINUX_KERNEL_AS_BL33``: The Linux kernel expects registers x0-x3 to
868 have specific values at boot. This boolean option allows the Trusted Firmware
869 to have a Linux kernel image as BL33 by preparing the registers to these
870 values before jumping to BL33. This option defaults to 0 (disabled). For
871 AArch64 ``RESET_TO_BL31`` and for AArch32 ``RESET_TO_SP_MIN`` must be 1 when
872 using it. If this option is set to 1, ``ARM_PRELOADED_DTB_BASE`` must be set
873 to the location of a device tree blob (DTB) already loaded in memory. The
874 Linux Image address must be specified using the ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE``
875 option.
876
877 - ``ARM_PLAT_MT``: This flag determines whether the Arm platform layer has to
878 cater for the multi-threading ``MT`` bit when accessing MPIDR. When this flag
879 is set, the functions which deal with MPIDR assume that the ``MT`` bit in
880 MPIDR is set and access the bit-fields in MPIDR accordingly. Default value of
881 this flag is 0. Note that this option is not used on FVP platforms.
882
883 - ``ARM_RECOM_STATE_ID_ENC``: The PSCI1.0 specification recommends an encoding
884 for the construction of composite state-ID in the power-state parameter.
885 The existing PSCI clients currently do not support this encoding of
886 State-ID yet. Hence this flag is used to configure whether to use the
887 recommended State-ID encoding or not. The default value of this flag is 0,
888 in which case the platform is configured to expect NULL in the State-ID
889 field of power-state parameter.
890
891 - ``ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION``: used when ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1``. It specifies the
892 location of the ROTPK hash returned by the function ``plat_get_rotpk_info()``
893 for Arm platforms. Depending on the selected option, the proper private key
894 must be specified using the ``ROT_KEY`` option when building the Trusted
895 Firmware. This private key will be used by the certificate generation tool
896 to sign the BL2 and Trusted Key certificates. Available options for
897 ``ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION`` are:
898
899 - ``regs`` : return the ROTPK hash stored in the Trusted root-key storage
900 registers. The private key corresponding to this ROTPK hash is not
901 currently available.
902 - ``devel_rsa`` : return a development public key hash embedded in the BL1
903 and BL2 binaries. This hash has been obtained from the RSA public key
904 ``arm_rotpk_rsa.der``, located in ``plat/arm/board/common/rotpk``. To use
905 this option, ``arm_rotprivk_rsa.pem`` must be specified as ``ROT_KEY`` when
906 creating the certificates.
907 - ``devel_ecdsa`` : return a development public key hash embedded in the BL1
908 and BL2 binaries. This hash has been obtained from the ECDSA public key
909 ``arm_rotpk_ecdsa.der``, located in ``plat/arm/board/common/rotpk``. To use
910 this option, ``arm_rotprivk_ecdsa.pem`` must be specified as ``ROT_KEY``
911 when creating the certificates.
912
913 - ``ARM_TSP_RAM_LOCATION``: location of the TSP binary. Options:
914
915 - ``tsram`` : Trusted SRAM (default option when TBB is not enabled)
916 - ``tdram`` : Trusted DRAM (if available)
917 - ``dram`` : Secure region in DRAM (default option when TBB is enabled,
918 configured by the TrustZone controller)
919
920 - ``ARM_XLAT_TABLES_LIB_V1``: boolean option to compile TF-A with version 1
921 of the translation tables library instead of version 2. It is set to 0 by
922 default, which selects version 2.
923
924 - ``ARM_CRYPTOCELL_INTEG`` : bool option to enable TF-A to invoke Arm®
925 TrustZone® CryptoCell functionality for Trusted Board Boot on capable Arm
926 platforms. If this option is specified, then the path to the CryptoCell
927 SBROM library must be specified via ``CCSBROM_LIB_PATH`` flag.
928
929 For a better understanding of these options, the Arm development platform memory
930 map is explained in the `Firmware Design`_.
931
932 Arm CSS platform specific build options
933 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
934
935 - ``CSS_DETECT_PRE_1_7_0_SCP``: Boolean flag to detect SCP version
936 incompatibility. Version 1.7.0 of the SCP firmware made a non-backwards
937 compatible change to the MTL protocol, used for AP/SCP communication.
938 TF-A no longer supports earlier SCP versions. If this option is set to 1
939 then TF-A will detect if an earlier version is in use. Default is 1.
940
941 - ``CSS_LOAD_SCP_IMAGES``: Boolean flag, which when set, adds SCP_BL2 and
942 SCP_BL2U to the FIP and FWU_FIP respectively, and enables them to be loaded
943 during boot. Default is 1.
944
945 - ``CSS_USE_SCMI_SDS_DRIVER``: Boolean flag which selects SCMI/SDS drivers
946 instead of SCPI/BOM driver for communicating with the SCP during power
947 management operations and for SCP RAM Firmware transfer. If this option
948 is set to 1, then SCMI/SDS drivers will be used. Default is 0.
949
950 Arm FVP platform specific build options
951 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
952
953 - ``FVP_CLUSTER_COUNT`` : Configures the cluster count to be used to
954 build the topology tree within TF-A. By default TF-A is configured for dual
955 cluster topology and this option can be used to override the default value.
956
957 - ``FVP_INTERCONNECT_DRIVER``: Selects the interconnect driver to be built. The
958 default interconnect driver depends on the value of ``FVP_CLUSTER_COUNT`` as
959 explained in the options below:
960
961 - ``FVP_CCI`` : The CCI driver is selected. This is the default
962 if 0 < ``FVP_CLUSTER_COUNT`` <= 2.
963 - ``FVP_CCN`` : The CCN driver is selected. This is the default
964 if ``FVP_CLUSTER_COUNT`` > 2.
965
966 - ``FVP_MAX_CPUS_PER_CLUSTER``: Sets the maximum number of CPUs implemented in
967 a single cluster. This option defaults to 4.
968
969 - ``FVP_MAX_PE_PER_CPU``: Sets the maximum number of PEs implemented on any CPU
970 in the system. This option defaults to 1. Note that the build option
971 ``ARM_PLAT_MT`` doesn't have any effect on FVP platforms.
972
973 - ``FVP_USE_GIC_DRIVER`` : Selects the GIC driver to be built. Options:
974
975 - ``FVP_GIC600`` : The GIC600 implementation of GICv3 is selected
976 - ``FVP_GICV2`` : The GICv2 only driver is selected
977 - ``FVP_GICV3`` : The GICv3 only driver is selected (default option)
978
979 - ``FVP_USE_SP804_TIMER`` : Use the SP804 timer instead of the Generic Timer
980 for functions that wait for an arbitrary time length (udelay and mdelay).
981 The default value is 0.
982
983 - ``FVP_HW_CONFIG_DTS`` : Specify the path to the DTS file to be compiled
984 to DTB and packaged in FIP as the HW_CONFIG. See `Firmware Design`_ for
985 details on HW_CONFIG. By default, this is initialized to a sensible DTS
986 file in ``fdts/`` folder depending on other build options. But some cases,
987 like shifted affinity format for MPIDR, cannot be detected at build time
988 and this option is needed to specify the appropriate DTS file.
989
990 - ``FVP_HW_CONFIG`` : Specify the path to the HW_CONFIG blob to be packaged in
991 FIP. See `Firmware Design`_ for details on HW_CONFIG. This option is
992 similar to the ``FVP_HW_CONFIG_DTS`` option, but it directly specifies the
993 HW_CONFIG blob instead of the DTS file. This option is useful to override
994 the default HW_CONFIG selected by the build system.
995
996 ARM JUNO platform specific build options
997 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
998
999 - ``JUNO_TZMP1`` : Boolean option to configure Juno to be used for TrustZone
1000 Media Protection (TZ-MP1). Default value of this flag is 0.
1001
1002 Debugging options
1003 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1004
1005 To compile a debug version and make the build more verbose use
1006
1007 .. code:: shell
1008
1009 make PLAT=<platform> DEBUG=1 V=1 all
1010
1011 AArch64 GCC uses DWARF version 4 debugging symbols by default. Some tools (for
1012 example DS-5) might not support this and may need an older version of DWARF
1013 symbols to be emitted by GCC. This can be achieved by using the
1014 ``-gdwarf-<version>`` flag, with the version being set to 2 or 3. Setting the
1015 version to 2 is recommended for DS-5 versions older than 5.16.
1016
1017 When debugging logic problems it might also be useful to disable all compiler
1018 optimizations by using ``-O0``.
1019
1020 .. warning::
1021 Using ``-O0`` could cause output images to be larger and base addresses
1022 might need to be recalculated (see the **Memory layout on Arm development
1023 platforms** section in the `Firmware Design`_).
1024
1025 Extra debug options can be passed to the build system by setting ``CFLAGS`` or
1026 ``LDFLAGS``:
1027
1028 .. code:: shell
1029
1030 CFLAGS='-O0 -gdwarf-2' \
1031 make PLAT=<platform> DEBUG=1 V=1 all
1032
1033 Note that using ``-Wl,`` style compilation driver options in ``CFLAGS`` will be
1034 ignored as the linker is called directly.
1035
1036 It is also possible to introduce an infinite loop to help in debugging the
1037 post-BL2 phase of TF-A. This can be done by rebuilding BL1 with the
1038 ``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT=1`` build flag. Refer to the `Summary of build options`_
1039 section. In this case, the developer may take control of the target using a
1040 debugger when indicated by the console output. When using DS-5, the following
1041 commands can be used:
1042
1043 ::
1044
1045 # Stop target execution
1046 interrupt
1047
1048 #
1049 # Prepare your debugging environment, e.g. set breakpoints
1050 #
1051
1052 # Jump over the debug loop
1053 set var $AARCH64::$Core::$PC = $AARCH64::$Core::$PC + 4
1054
1055 # Resume execution
1056 continue
1057
1058 Building the Test Secure Payload
1059 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1060
1061 The TSP is coupled with a companion runtime service in the BL31 firmware,
1062 called the TSPD. Therefore, if you intend to use the TSP, the BL31 image
1063 must be recompiled as well. For more information on SPs and SPDs, see the
1064 `Secure-EL1 Payloads and Dispatchers`_ section in the `Firmware Design`_.
1065
1066 First clean the TF-A build directory to get rid of any previous BL31 binary.
1067 Then to build the TSP image use:
1068
1069 .. code:: shell
1070
1071 make PLAT=<platform> SPD=tspd all
1072
1073 An additional boot loader binary file is created in the ``build`` directory:
1074
1075 ::
1076
1077 build/<platform>/<build-type>/bl32.bin
1078
1079
1080 Building and using the FIP tool
1081 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1082
1083 Firmware Image Package (FIP) is a packaging format used by TF-A to package
1084 firmware images in a single binary. The number and type of images that should
1085 be packed in a FIP is platform specific and may include TF-A images and other
1086 firmware images required by the platform. For example, most platforms require
1087 a BL33 image which corresponds to the normal world bootloader (e.g. UEFI or
1088 U-Boot).
1089
1090 The TF-A build system provides the make target ``fip`` to create a FIP file
1091 for the specified platform using the FIP creation tool included in the TF-A
1092 project. Examples below show how to build a FIP file for FVP, packaging TF-A
1093 and BL33 images.
1094
1095 For AArch64:
1096
1097 .. code:: shell
1098
1099 make PLAT=fvp BL33=<path-to>/bl33.bin fip
1100
1101 For AArch32:
1102
1103 .. code:: shell
1104
1105 make PLAT=fvp ARCH=aarch32 AARCH32_SP=sp_min BL33=<path-to>/bl33.bin fip
1106
1107 The resulting FIP may be found in:
1108
1109 ::
1110
1111 build/fvp/<build-type>/fip.bin
1112
1113 For advanced operations on FIP files, it is also possible to independently build
1114 the tool and create or modify FIPs using this tool. To do this, follow these
1115 steps:
1116
1117 It is recommended to remove old artifacts before building the tool:
1118
1119 .. code:: shell
1120
1121 make -C tools/fiptool clean
1122
1123 Build the tool:
1124
1125 .. code:: shell
1126
1127 make [DEBUG=1] [V=1] fiptool
1128
1129 The tool binary can be located in:
1130
1131 ::
1132
1133 ./tools/fiptool/fiptool
1134
1135 Invoking the tool with ``help`` will print a help message with all available
1136 options.
1137
1138 Example 1: create a new Firmware package ``fip.bin`` that contains BL2 and BL31:
1139
1140 .. code:: shell
1141
1142 ./tools/fiptool/fiptool create \
1143 --tb-fw build/<platform>/<build-type>/bl2.bin \
1144 --soc-fw build/<platform>/<build-type>/bl31.bin \
1145 fip.bin
1146
1147 Example 2: view the contents of an existing Firmware package:
1148
1149 .. code:: shell
1150
1151 ./tools/fiptool/fiptool info <path-to>/fip.bin
1152
1153 Example 3: update the entries of an existing Firmware package:
1154
1155 .. code:: shell
1156
1157 # Change the BL2 from Debug to Release version
1158 ./tools/fiptool/fiptool update \
1159 --tb-fw build/<platform>/release/bl2.bin \
1160 build/<platform>/debug/fip.bin
1161
1162 Example 4: unpack all entries from an existing Firmware package:
1163
1164 .. code:: shell
1165
1166 # Images will be unpacked to the working directory
1167 ./tools/fiptool/fiptool unpack <path-to>/fip.bin
1168
1169 Example 5: remove an entry from an existing Firmware package:
1170
1171 .. code:: shell
1172
1173 ./tools/fiptool/fiptool remove \
1174 --tb-fw build/<platform>/debug/fip.bin
1175
1176 Note that if the destination FIP file exists, the create, update and
1177 remove operations will automatically overwrite it.
1178
1179 The unpack operation will fail if the images already exist at the
1180 destination. In that case, use -f or --force to continue.
1181
1182 More information about FIP can be found in the `Firmware Design`_ document.
1183
1184 Building FIP images with support for Trusted Board Boot
1185 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1186
1187 Trusted Board Boot primarily consists of the following two features:
1188
1189 - Image Authentication, described in `Trusted Board Boot`_, and
1190 - Firmware Update, described in `Firmware Update`_
1191
1192 The following steps should be followed to build FIP and (optionally) FWU_FIP
1193 images with support for these features:
1194
1195 #. Fulfill the dependencies of the ``mbedtls`` cryptographic and image parser
1196 modules by checking out a recent version of the `mbed TLS Repository`_. It
1197 is important to use a version that is compatible with TF-A and fixes any
1198 known security vulnerabilities. See `mbed TLS Security Center`_ for more
1199 information. The latest version of TF-A is tested with tag
1200 ``mbedtls-2.16.2``.
1201
1202 The ``drivers/auth/mbedtls/mbedtls_*.mk`` files contain the list of mbed TLS
1203 source files the modules depend upon.
1204 ``include/drivers/auth/mbedtls/mbedtls_config.h`` contains the configuration
1205 options required to build the mbed TLS sources.
1206
1207 Note that the mbed TLS library is licensed under the Apache version 2.0
1208 license. Using mbed TLS source code will affect the licensing of TF-A
1209 binaries that are built using this library.
1210
1211 #. To build the FIP image, ensure the following command line variables are set
1212 while invoking ``make`` to build TF-A:
1213
1214 - ``MBEDTLS_DIR=<path of the directory containing mbed TLS sources>``
1215 - ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1``
1216 - ``GENERATE_COT=1``
1217
1218 In the case of Arm platforms, the location of the ROTPK hash must also be
1219 specified at build time. Two locations are currently supported (see
1220 ``ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION`` build option):
1221
1222 - ``ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION=regs``: the ROTPK hash is obtained from the Trusted
1223 root-key storage registers present in the platform. On Juno, this
1224 registers are read-only. On FVP Base and Cortex models, the registers
1225 are read-only, but the value can be specified using the command line
1226 option ``bp.trusted_key_storage.public_key`` when launching the model.
1227 On both Juno and FVP models, the default value corresponds to an
1228 ECDSA-SECP256R1 public key hash, whose private part is not currently
1229 available.
1230
1231 - ``ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION=devel_rsa``: use the ROTPK hash that is hardcoded
1232 in the Arm platform port. The private/public RSA key pair may be
1233 found in ``plat/arm/board/common/rotpk``.
1234
1235 - ``ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION=devel_ecdsa``: use the ROTPK hash that is hardcoded
1236 in the Arm platform port. The private/public ECDSA key pair may be
1237 found in ``plat/arm/board/common/rotpk``.
1238
1239 Example of command line using RSA development keys:
1240
1241 .. code:: shell
1242
1243 MBEDTLS_DIR=<path of the directory containing mbed TLS sources> \
1244 make PLAT=<platform> TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1 GENERATE_COT=1 \
1245 ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION=devel_rsa \
1246 ROT_KEY=plat/arm/board/common/rotpk/arm_rotprivk_rsa.pem \
1247 BL33=<path-to>/<bl33_image> \
1248 all fip
1249
1250 The result of this build will be the bl1.bin and the fip.bin binaries. This
1251 FIP will include the certificates corresponding to the Chain of Trust
1252 described in the TBBR-client document. These certificates can also be found
1253 in the output build directory.
1254
1255 #. The optional FWU_FIP contains any additional images to be loaded from
1256 Non-Volatile storage during the `Firmware Update`_ process. To build the
1257 FWU_FIP, any FWU images required by the platform must be specified on the
1258 command line. On Arm development platforms like Juno, these are:
1259
1260 - NS_BL2U. The AP non-secure Firmware Updater image.
1261 - SCP_BL2U. The SCP Firmware Update Configuration image.
1262
1263 Example of Juno command line for generating both ``fwu`` and ``fwu_fip``
1264 targets using RSA development:
1265
1266 ::
1267
1268 MBEDTLS_DIR=<path of the directory containing mbed TLS sources> \
1269 make PLAT=juno TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1 GENERATE_COT=1 \
1270 ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION=devel_rsa \
1271 ROT_KEY=plat/arm/board/common/rotpk/arm_rotprivk_rsa.pem \
1272 BL33=<path-to>/<bl33_image> \
1273 SCP_BL2=<path-to>/<scp_bl2_image> \
1274 SCP_BL2U=<path-to>/<scp_bl2u_image> \
1275 NS_BL2U=<path-to>/<ns_bl2u_image> \
1276 all fip fwu_fip
1277
1278 .. note::
1279 The BL2U image will be built by default and added to the FWU_FIP.
1280 The user may override this by adding ``BL2U=<path-to>/<bl2u_image>``
1281 to the command line above.
1282
1283 .. note::
1284 Building and installing the non-secure and SCP FWU images (NS_BL1U,
1285 NS_BL2U and SCP_BL2U) is outside the scope of this document.
1286
1287 The result of this build will be bl1.bin, fip.bin and fwu_fip.bin binaries.
1288 Both the FIP and FWU_FIP will include the certificates corresponding to the
1289 Chain of Trust described in the TBBR-client document. These certificates
1290 can also be found in the output build directory.
1291
1292 Building the Certificate Generation Tool
1293 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1294
1295 The ``cert_create`` tool is built as part of the TF-A build process when the
1296 ``fip`` make target is specified and TBB is enabled (as described in the
1297 previous section), but it can also be built separately with the following
1298 command:
1299
1300 .. code:: shell
1301
1302 make PLAT=<platform> [DEBUG=1] [V=1] certtool
1303
1304 For platforms that require their own IDs in certificate files, the generic
1305 'cert_create' tool can be built with the following command. Note that the target
1306 platform must define its IDs within a ``platform_oid.h`` header file for the
1307 build to succeed.
1308
1309 .. code:: shell
1310
1311 make PLAT=<platform> USE_TBBR_DEFS=0 [DEBUG=1] [V=1] certtool
1312
1313 ``DEBUG=1`` builds the tool in debug mode. ``V=1`` makes the build process more
1314 verbose. The following command should be used to obtain help about the tool:
1315
1316 .. code:: shell
1317
1318 ./tools/cert_create/cert_create -h
1319
1320 Building a FIP for Juno and FVP
1321 -------------------------------
1322
1323 This section provides Juno and FVP specific instructions to build Trusted
1324 Firmware, obtain the additional required firmware, and pack it all together in
1325 a single FIP binary. It assumes that a `Linaro Release`_ has been installed.
1326
1327 .. note::
1328 Pre-built binaries for AArch32 are available from Linaro Release 16.12
1329 onwards. Before that release, pre-built binaries are only available for
1330 AArch64.
1331
1332 .. warning::
1333 Follow the full instructions for one platform before switching to a
1334 different one. Mixing instructions for different platforms may result in
1335 corrupted binaries.
1336
1337 .. warning::
1338 The uboot image downloaded by the Linaro workspace script does not always
1339 match the uboot image packaged as BL33 in the corresponding fip file. It is
1340 recommended to use the version that is packaged in the fip file using the
1341 instructions below.
1342
1343 .. note::
1344 For the FVP, the kernel FDT is packaged in FIP during build and loaded
1345 by the firmware at runtime. See `Obtaining the Flattened Device Trees`_
1346 section for more info on selecting the right FDT to use.
1347
1348 #. Clean the working directory
1349
1350 .. code:: shell
1351
1352 make realclean
1353
1354 #. Obtain SCP_BL2 (Juno) and BL33 (all platforms)
1355
1356 Use the fiptool to extract the SCP_BL2 and BL33 images from the FIP
1357 package included in the Linaro release:
1358
1359 .. code:: shell
1360
1361 # Build the fiptool
1362 make [DEBUG=1] [V=1] fiptool
1363
1364 # Unpack firmware images from Linaro FIP
1365 ./tools/fiptool/fiptool unpack <path-to-linaro-release>/fip.bin
1366
1367 The unpack operation will result in a set of binary images extracted to the
1368 current working directory. The SCP_BL2 image corresponds to
1369 ``scp-fw.bin`` and BL33 corresponds to ``nt-fw.bin``.
1370
1371 .. note::
1372 The fiptool will complain if the images to be unpacked already
1373 exist in the current directory. If that is the case, either delete those
1374 files or use the ``--force`` option to overwrite.
1375
1376 .. note::
1377 For AArch32, the instructions below assume that nt-fw.bin is a
1378 normal world boot loader that supports AArch32.
1379
1380 #. Build TF-A images and create a new FIP for FVP
1381
1382 .. code:: shell
1383
1384 # AArch64
1385 make PLAT=fvp BL33=nt-fw.bin all fip
1386
1387 # AArch32
1388 make PLAT=fvp ARCH=aarch32 AARCH32_SP=sp_min BL33=nt-fw.bin all fip
1389
1390 #. Build TF-A images and create a new FIP for Juno
1391
1392 For AArch64:
1393
1394 Building for AArch64 on Juno simply requires the addition of ``SCP_BL2``
1395 as a build parameter.
1396
1397 .. code:: shell
1398
1399 make PLAT=juno BL33=nt-fw.bin SCP_BL2=scp-fw.bin all fip
1400
1401 For AArch32:
1402
1403 Hardware restrictions on Juno prevent cold reset into AArch32 execution mode,
1404 therefore BL1 and BL2 must be compiled for AArch64, and BL32 is compiled
1405 separately for AArch32.
1406
1407 - Before building BL32, the environment variable ``CROSS_COMPILE`` must point
1408 to the AArch32 Linaro cross compiler.
1409
1410 .. code:: shell
1411
1412 export CROSS_COMPILE=<path-to-aarch32-gcc>/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-
1413
1414 - Build BL32 in AArch32.
1415
1416 .. code:: shell
1417
1418 make ARCH=aarch32 PLAT=juno AARCH32_SP=sp_min \
1419 RESET_TO_SP_MIN=1 JUNO_AARCH32_EL3_RUNTIME=1 bl32
1420
1421 - Save ``bl32.bin`` to a temporary location and clean the build products.
1422
1423 ::
1424
1425 cp <path-to-build>/bl32.bin <path-to-temporary>
1426 make realclean
1427
1428 - Before building BL1 and BL2, the environment variable ``CROSS_COMPILE``
1429 must point to the AArch64 Linaro cross compiler.
1430
1431 .. code:: shell
1432
1433 export CROSS_COMPILE=<path-to-aarch64-gcc>/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-
1434
1435 - The following parameters should be used to build BL1 and BL2 in AArch64
1436 and point to the BL32 file.
1437
1438 .. code:: shell

1457 Booting Firmware Update images
1458 -------------------------------------
1459
1460 When Firmware Update (FWU) is enabled there are at least 2 new images
1461 that have to be loaded, the Non-Secure FWU ROM (NS-BL1U), and the
1462 FWU FIP.
1463
1464 Juno
1465 ~~~~
1466
1467 The new images must be programmed in flash memory by adding
1468 an entry in the ``SITE1/HBI0262x/images.txt`` configuration file
1469 on the Juno SD card (where ``x`` depends on the revision of the Juno board).
1470 Refer to the `Juno Getting Started Guide`_, section 2.3 "Flash memory
1471 programming" for more information. User should ensure these do not
1472 overlap with any other entries in the file.

1505
1506 EL3 payloads alternative boot flow
1507 ----------------------------------
1508
1509 On a pre-production system, the ability to execute arbitrary, bare-metal code at
1510 the highest exception level is required. It allows full, direct access to the
1511 hardware, for example to run silicon soak tests.
1512
1513 Although it is possible to implement some baremetal secure firmware from
1514 scratch, this is a complex task on some platforms, depending on the level of
1515 configuration required to put the system in the expected state.
1516
1517 Rather than booting a baremetal application, a possible compromise is to boot
1518 ``EL3 payloads`` through TF-A instead. This is implemented as an alternative
1519 boot flow, where a modified BL2 boots an EL3 payload, instead of loading the
1520 other BL images and passing control to BL31. It reduces the complexity of
1521 developing EL3 baremetal code by:
1522
1523 - putting the system into a known architectural state;
1524 - taking care of platform secure world initialization;
1525 - loading the SCP_BL2 image if required by the platform.
1526
1527 When booting an EL3 payload on Arm standard platforms, the configuration of the
1528 TrustZone controller is simplified such that only region 0 is enabled and is
1529 configured to permit secure access only. This gives full access to the whole
1530 DRAM to the EL3 payload.
1531
1532 The system is left in the same state as when entering BL31 in the default boot
1533 flow. In particular:
1534
1535 - Running in EL3;
1536 - Current state is AArch64;
1537 - Little-endian data access;
1538 - All exceptions disabled;
1539 - MMU disabled;
1540 - Caches disabled.
1541
1542 Booting an EL3 payload
1543 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1544
1545 The EL3 payload image is a standalone image and is not part of the FIP. It is
1546 not loaded by TF-A. Therefore, there are 2 possible scenarios:
1547
1548 - The EL3 payload may reside in non-volatile memory (NVM) and execute in
1549 place. In this case, booting it is just a matter of specifying the right
1550 address in NVM through ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE`` when building TF-A.
1551
1552 - The EL3 payload needs to be loaded in volatile memory (e.g. DRAM) at
1553 run-time.
1554
1555 To help in the latter scenario, the ``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT=1`` build option can be
1556 used. The infinite loop that it introduces in BL1 stops execution at the right
1557 moment for a debugger to take control of the target and load the payload (for
1558 example, over JTAG).
1559
1560 It is expected that this loading method will work in most cases, as a debugger
1561 connection is usually available in a pre-production system. The user is free to
1562 use any other platform-specific mechanism to load the EL3 payload, though.
1563
1564 Booting an EL3 payload on FVP
1565 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1566
1567 The EL3 payloads boot flow requires the CPU's mailbox to be cleared at reset for
1568 the secondary CPUs holding pen to work properly. Unfortunately, its reset value
1569 is undefined on the FVP platform and the FVP platform code doesn't clear it.
1570 Therefore, one must modify the way the model is normally invoked in order to
1571 clear the mailbox at start-up.
1572
1573 One way to do that is to create an 8-byte file containing all zero bytes using
1574 the following command:
1575
1576 .. code:: shell
1577
1578 dd if=/dev/zero of=mailbox.dat bs=1 count=8
1579
1580 and pre-load it into the FVP memory at the mailbox address (i.e. ``0x04000000``)
1581 using the following model parameters:
1582
1583 ::
1584
1585 --data cluster0.cpu0=mailbox.dat@0x04000000 [Base FVPs]
1586 --data=mailbox.dat@0x04000000 [Foundation FVP]
1587
1588 To provide the model with the EL3 payload image, the following methods may be
1589 used:
1590
1591 #. If the EL3 payload is able to execute in place, it may be programmed into
1592 flash memory. On Base Cortex and AEM FVPs, the following model parameter
1593 loads it at the base address of the NOR FLASH1 (the NOR FLASH0 is already
1594 used for the FIP):
1595
1596 ::
1597
1598 -C bp.flashloader1.fname="<path-to>/<el3-payload>"
1599
1600 On Foundation FVP, there is no flash loader component and the EL3 payload
1601 may be programmed anywhere in flash using method 3 below.
1602
1603 #. When using the ``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT=1`` loading method, the following DS-5
1604 command may be used to load the EL3 payload ELF image over JTAG:
1605
1606 ::
1607
1608 load <path-to>/el3-payload.elf
1609
1610 #. The EL3 payload may be pre-loaded in volatile memory using the following
1611 model parameters:
1612
1613 ::
1614
1615 --data cluster0.cpu0="<path-to>/el3-payload>"@address [Base FVPs]
1616 --data="<path-to>/<el3-payload>"@address [Foundation FVP]
1617
1618 The address provided to the FVP must match the ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE`` address
1619 used when building TF-A.
1620
1621 Booting an EL3 payload on Juno
1622 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1623
1624 If the EL3 payload is able to execute in place, it may be programmed in flash
1625 memory by adding an entry in the ``SITE1/HBI0262x/images.txt`` configuration file
1626 on the Juno SD card (where ``x`` depends on the revision of the Juno board).
1627 Refer to the `Juno Getting Started Guide`_, section 2.3 "Flash memory
1628 programming" for more information.
1629
1630 Alternatively, the same DS-5 command mentioned in the FVP section above can
1631 be used to load the EL3 payload's ELF file over JTAG on Juno.
1632
1633 Preloaded BL33 alternative boot flow
1634 ------------------------------------
1635
1636 Some platforms have the ability to preload BL33 into memory instead of relying
1637 on TF-A to load it. This may simplify packaging of the normal world code and
1638 improve performance in a development environment. When secure world cold boot
1639 is complete, TF-A simply jumps to a BL33 base address provided at build time.
1640
1641 For this option to be used, the ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE`` build option has to be
1642 used when compiling TF-A. For example, the following command will create a FIP
1643 without a BL33 and prepare to jump to a BL33 image loaded at address
1644 0x80000000:
1645
1646 .. code:: shell
1647
1648 make PRELOADED_BL33_BASE=0x80000000 PLAT=fvp all fip
1649
1650 Boot of a preloaded kernel image on Base FVP
1651 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1652
1653 The following example uses a simplified boot flow by directly jumping from the
1654 TF-A to the Linux kernel, which will use a ramdisk as filesystem. This can be
1655 useful if both the kernel and the device tree blob (DTB) are already present in
1656 memory (like in FVP).
1657
1658 For example, if the kernel is loaded at ``0x80080000`` and the DTB is loaded at
1659 address ``0x82000000``, the firmware can be built like this:
1660
1661 .. code:: shell
1662
1663 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- \
1664 make PLAT=fvp DEBUG=1 \
1665 RESET_TO_BL31=1 \
1666 ARM_LINUX_KERNEL_AS_BL33=1 \
1667 PRELOADED_BL33_BASE=0x80080000 \
1668 ARM_PRELOADED_DTB_BASE=0x82000000 \
1669 all fip
1670
1671 Now, it is needed to modify the DTB so that the kernel knows the address of the
1672 ramdisk. The following script generates a patched DTB from the provided one,
1673 assuming that the ramdisk is loaded at address ``0x84000000``. Note that this
1674 script assumes that the user is using a ramdisk image prepared for U-Boot, like
1675 the ones provided by Linaro. If using a ramdisk without this header,the ``0x40``
1676 offset in ``INITRD_START`` has to be removed.
1677
1678 .. code:: bash
1679
1680 #!/bin/bash
1681
1682 # Path to the input DTB
1683 KERNEL_DTB=<path-to>/<fdt>
1684 # Path to the output DTB
1685 PATCHED_KERNEL_DTB=<path-to>/<patched-fdt>
1686 # Base address of the ramdisk
1687 INITRD_BASE=0x84000000
1688 # Path to the ramdisk
1689 INITRD=<path-to>/<ramdisk.img>
1690
1691 # Skip uboot header (64 bytes)
1692 INITRD_START=$(printf "0x%x" $((${INITRD_BASE} + 0x40)) )
1693 INITRD_SIZE=$(stat -Lc %s ${INITRD})
1694 INITRD_END=$(printf "0x%x" $((${INITRD_BASE} + ${INITRD_SIZE})) )
1695
1696 CHOSEN_NODE=$(echo \
1697 "/ { \
1698 chosen { \
1699 linux,initrd-start = <${INITRD_START}>; \
1700 linux,initrd-end = <${INITRD_END}>; \
1701 }; \
1702 };")
1703
1704 echo $(dtc -O dts -I dtb ${KERNEL_DTB}) ${CHOSEN_NODE} | \
1705 dtc -O dtb -o ${PATCHED_KERNEL_DTB} -
1706
1707 And the FVP binary can be run with the following command:
1708
1709 .. code:: shell
1710
1711 <path-to>/FVP_Base_AEMv8A-AEMv8A \
1712 -C pctl.startup=0.0.0.0 \

1728 --data cluster0.cpu0="<path-to>/<ramdisk.img>"@0x84000000
1729
1730 Boot of a preloaded kernel image on Juno
1731 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1732
1733 The Trusted Firmware must be compiled in a similar way as for FVP explained
1734 above. The process to load binaries to memory is the one explained in
1735 `Booting an EL3 payload on Juno`_.
1736

1774
1775 The latest version of the AArch32 build of TF-A has been tested on the following
1776 Arm FVPs without shifted affinities, and that do not support threaded CPU cores
1777 (64-bit host machine only).
1778
1779 - ``FVP_Base_AEMv8A-AEMv8A``
1780 - ``FVP_Base_Cortex-A32x4``
1781
1782 .. note::
1783 The ``FVP_Base_RevC-2xAEMv8A`` FVP only supports shifted affinities, which
1784 is not compatible with legacy GIC configurations. Therefore this FVP does not
1785 support these legacy GIC configurations.
1786
1787 .. note::
1788 The build numbers quoted above are those reported by launching the FVP
1789 with the ``--version`` parameter.
1790
1791 .. note::
1792 Linaro provides a ramdisk image in prebuilt FVP configurations and full
1793 file systems that can be downloaded separately. To run an FVP with a virtio
1794 file system image an additional FVP configuration option
1795 ``-C bp.virtioblockdevice.image_path="<path-to>/<file-system-image>`` can be
1796 used.
1797
1798 .. note::
1799 The software will not work on Version 1.0 of the Foundation FVP.
1800 The commands below would report an ``unhandled argument`` error in this case.
1801
1802 .. note::
1803 FVPs can be launched with ``--cadi-server`` option such that a
1804 CADI-compliant debugger (for example, Arm DS-5) can connect to and control
1805 its execution.
1806
1807 .. warning::
1808 Since FVP model Version 11.0 Build 11.0.34 and Version 8.5 Build 0.8.5202
1809 the internal synchronisation timings changed compared to older versions of
1810 the models. The models can be launched with ``-Q 100`` option if they are
1811 required to match the run time characteristics of the older versions.
1812
1813 The Foundation FVP is a cut down version of the AArch64 Base FVP. It can be
1814 downloaded for free from `Arm's website`_.
1815
1816 The Cortex-A models listed above are also available to download from
1817 `Arm's website`_.
1818
1819 Please refer to the FVP documentation for a detailed description of the model
1820 parameter options. A brief description of the important ones that affect TF-A
1821 and normal world software behavior is provided below.
1822
1823 Obtaining the Flattened Device Trees
1824 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1825
1826 Depending on the FVP configuration and Linux configuration used, different
1827 FDT files are required. FDT source files for the Foundation and Base FVPs can
1828 be found in the TF-A source directory under ``fdts/``. The Foundation FVP has
1829 a subset of the Base FVP components. For example, the Foundation FVP lacks
1830 CLCD and MMC support, and has only one CPU cluster.
1831
1832 .. note::
1833 It is not recommended to use the FDTs built along the kernel because not
1834 all FDTs are available from there.
1835
1836 The dynamic configuration capability is enabled in the firmware for FVPs.
1837 This means that the firmware can authenticate and load the FDT if present in
1838 FIP. A default FDT is packaged into FIP during the build based on
1839 the build configuration. This can be overridden by using the ``FVP_HW_CONFIG``
1840 or ``FVP_HW_CONFIG_DTS`` build options (refer to the
1841 `Arm FVP platform specific build options`_ section for detail on the options).

1904 Notes:
1905
1906 - BL1 is loaded at the start of the Trusted ROM.
1907 - The Firmware Image Package is loaded at the start of NOR FLASH0.
1908 - The firmware loads the FDT packaged in FIP to the DRAM. The FDT load address
1909 is specified via the ``hw_config_addr`` property in `TB_FW_CONFIG for FVP`_.
1910 - The default use-case for the Foundation FVP is to use the ``--gicv3`` option
1911 and enable the GICv3 device in the model. Note that without this option,
1912 the Foundation FVP defaults to legacy (Versatile Express) memory map which
1913 is not supported by TF-A.
1914 - In order for TF-A to run correctly on the Foundation FVP, the architecture
1915 versions must match. The Foundation FVP defaults to the highest v8.x
1916 version it supports but the default build for TF-A is for v8.0. To avoid
1917 issues either start the Foundation FVP to use v8.0 architecture using the
1918 ``--arm-v8.0`` option, or build TF-A with an appropriate value for
1919 ``ARM_ARCH_MINOR``.

2039 Notes:
2040
2041 - If Position Independent Executable (PIE) support is enabled for BL31
2042 in this config, it can be loaded at any valid address for execution.
2043
2044 - Since a FIP is not loaded when using BL31 as reset entrypoint, the
2045 ``--data="<path-to><bl31|bl32|bl33-binary>"@<base-address-of-binary>``
2046 parameter is needed to load the individual bootloader images in memory.
2047 BL32 image is only needed if BL31 has been built to expect a Secure-EL1
2048 Payload. For the same reason, the FDT needs to be compiled from the DT source
2049 and loaded via the ``--data cluster0.cpu0="<path-to>/<fdt>"@0x82000000``
2050 parameter.
2051
2052 - The ``FVP_Base_RevC-2xAEMv8A`` has shifted affinities and requires a
2053 specific DTS for all the CPUs to be loaded.
2054
2055 - The ``-C cluster<X>.cpu<Y>.RVBAR=@<base-address-of-bl31>`` parameter, where
2056 X and Y are the cluster and CPU numbers respectively, is used to set the
2057 reset vector for each core.
2058
2059 - Changing the default value of ``ARM_TSP_RAM_LOCATION`` will also require
2060 changing the value of
2061 ``--data="<path-to><bl32-binary>"@<base-address-of-bl32>`` to the new value of
2062 ``BL32_BASE``.

2156 Running the software on Juno
2157 ----------------------------
2158
2159 This version of TF-A has been tested on variants r0, r1 and r2 of Juno.
2160
2161 To execute the software stack on Juno, the version of the Juno board recovery
2162 image indicated in the `Linaro Release Notes`_ must be installed. If you have an
2163 earlier version installed or are unsure which version is installed, please
2164 re-install the recovery image by following the
2165 `Instructions for using Linaro's deliverables on Juno`_.
2166
2167 Preparing TF-A images
2168 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2169
2170 After building TF-A, the files ``bl1.bin`` and ``fip.bin`` need copying to the
2171 ``SOFTWARE/`` directory of the Juno SD card.
2172
2173 Other Juno software information
2174 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2175
2176 Please visit the `Arm Platforms Portal`_ to get support and obtain any other Juno
2177 software information. Please also refer to the `Juno Getting Started Guide`_ to
2178 get more detailed information about the Juno Arm development platform and how to
2179 configure it.
2180
2181 Testing SYSTEM SUSPEND on Juno
2182 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2183
2184 The SYSTEM SUSPEND is a PSCI API which can be used to implement system suspend
2185 to RAM. For more details refer to section 5.16 of `PSCI`_. To test system suspend
2186 on Juno, at the linux shell prompt, issue the following command:
2187
2188 .. code:: shell
2189
2190 echo +10 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm
2191 echo -n mem > /sys/power/state
2192
2193 The Juno board should suspend to RAM and then wakeup after 10 seconds due to
2194 wakeup interrupt from RTC.
