It is +possible to use other software components, configurations and platforms but that +is outside the scope of this document. + +This document assumes that the reader has previous experience running a fully +bootable Linux software stack on Juno or FVP using the prebuilt binaries and +filesystems provided by `Linaro`_. Further information may be found in the +`Linaro instructions`_. It also assumes that the user understands the role of +the different software components required to boot a Linux system: + +- Specific firmware images required by the platform (e.g. SCP firmware on Juno) +- Normal world bootloader (e.g. UEFI or U-Boot) +- Device tree +- Linux kernel image +- Root filesystem + +This document also assumes that the user is familiar with the `FVP models`_ and +the different command line options available to launch the model. + +This document should be used in conjunction with the `Firmware Design`_. + +Host machine requirements +------------------------- + +The minimum recommended machine specification for building the software and +running the FVP models is a dual-core processor running at 2GHz with 12GB of +RAM. For best performance, use a machine with a quad-core processor running at +2.6GHz with 16GB of RAM. + +The software has been tested on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (64-bit). Packages used for +building the software were installed from that distribution unless otherwise +specified. + +The software has also been built on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1, using CMD.EXE, +Cygwin, and Msys (MinGW) shells, using version 5.3.1 of the GNU toolchain. + +Tools +----- + +Install the required packages to build TF-A with the following command: + +:: + + sudo apt-get install device-tree-compiler build-essential gcc make git libssl-dev + +TF-A has been tested with Linaro Release 18.04. + +Download and install the AArch32 or AArch64 little-endian GCC cross compiler. If +you would like to use the latest features available, download GCC 8.2-2019.01 +compiler from `arm Developer page`_. Otherwise, the `Linaro Release Notes`_ +documents which version of the compiler to use for a given Linaro Release. Also, +these `Linaro instructions`_ provide further guidance and a script, which can be +used to download Linaro deliverables automatically. + +Optionally, TF-A can be built using clang version 4.0 or newer or Arm +Compiler 6. See instructions below on how to switch the default compiler. + +In addition, the following optional packages and tools may be needed: + +- ``device-tree-compiler`` (dtc) package if you need to rebuild the Flattened Device + Tree (FDT) source files (``.dts`` files) provided with this software. The + version of dtc must be 1.4.6 or above. + +- For debugging, Arm `Development Studio 5 (DS-5)`_. + +- To create and modify the diagram files included in the documentation, `Dia`_. + This tool can be found in most Linux distributions. Inkscape is needed to + generate the actual \*.png files. + +Getting the TF-A source code +---------------------------- + +Clone the repository from the Gerrit server. The project details may be found +on the `arm-trusted-firmware-a project page`_. We recommend the "`Clone with +commit-msg hook`" clone method, which will setup the git commit hook that +automatically generates and inserts appropriate `Change-Id:` lines in your +commit messages. + +Checking source code style +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Trusted Firmware follows the `Linux Coding Style`_ . When making changes to the +source, for submission to the project, the source must be in compliance with +this style guide. + +Additional, project-specific guidelines are defined in the `Trusted Firmware-A +Coding Guidelines`_ document. + +To assist with coding style compliance, the project Makefile contains two +targets which both utilise the `checkpatch.pl` script that ships with the Linux +source tree. The project also defines certain *checkpatch* options in the +``.checkpatch.conf`` file in the top-level directory. + +**Note:** Checkpatch errors will gate upstream merging of pull requests. +Checkpatch warnings will not gate merging but should be reviewed and fixed if +possible. + +To check the entire source tree, you must first download copies of +``checkpatch.pl``, ``spelling.txt`` and ``const_structs.checkpatch`` available +in the `Linux master tree`_ *scripts* directory, then set the ``CHECKPATCH`` +environment variable to point to ``checkpatch.pl`` (with the other 2 files in +the same directory) and build the `checkcodebase` target: + +:: + + make CHECKPATCH=<path-to-linux>/linux/scripts/checkpatch.pl checkcodebase + +To just check the style on the files that differ between your local branch and +the remote master, use: + +:: + + make CHECKPATCH=<path-to-linux>/linux/scripts/checkpatch.pl checkpatch + +If you wish to check your patch against something other than the remote master, +set the ``BASE_COMMIT`` variable to your desired branch. By default, ``BASE_COMMIT`` +is set to ``origin/master``. + +Building TF-A +------------- + +- Before building TF-A, the environment variable ``CROSS_COMPILE`` must point + to the Linaro cross compiler. + + For AArch64: + + :: + + export CROSS_COMPILE=<path-to-aarch64-gcc>/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu- + + For AArch32: + + :: + + export CROSS_COMPILE=<path-to-aarch32-gcc>/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- + + It is possible to build TF-A using Clang or Arm Compiler 6. To do so + ``CC`` needs to point to the clang or armclang binary, which will + also select the clang or armclang assembler. Be aware that the + GNU linker is used by default. In case of being needed the linker + can be overridden using the ``LD`` variable. Clang linker version 6 is + known to work with TF-A. + + In both cases ``CROSS_COMPILE`` should be set as described above. + + Arm Compiler 6 will be selected when the base name of the path assigned + to ``CC`` matches the string 'armclang'. + + For AArch64 using Arm Compiler 6: + + :: + + export CROSS_COMPILE=<path-to-aarch64-gcc>/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu- + make CC=<path-to-armclang>/bin/armclang PLAT=<platform> all + + Clang will be selected when the base name of the path assigned to ``CC`` + contains the string 'clang'. This is to allow both clang and clang-X.Y + to work. + + For AArch64 using clang: + + :: + + export CROSS_COMPILE=<path-to-aarch64-gcc>/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu- + make CC=<path-to-clang>/bin/clang PLAT=<platform> all + +- Change to the root directory of the TF-A source tree and build. + + For AArch64: + + :: + + make PLAT=<platform> all + + For AArch32: + + :: + + make PLAT=<platform> ARCH=aarch32 AARCH32_SP=sp_min all + + Notes: + + - If ``PLAT`` is not specified, ``fvp`` is assumed by default. See the + `Summary of build options`_ for more information on available build + options. + + - (AArch32 only) Currently only ``PLAT=fvp`` is supported. + + - (AArch32 only) ``AARCH32_SP`` is the AArch32 EL3 Runtime Software and it + corresponds to the BL32 image. A minimal ``AARCH32_SP``, sp_min, is + provided by TF-A to demonstrate how PSCI Library can be integrated with + an AArch32 EL3 Runtime Software. Some AArch32 EL3 Runtime Software may + include other runtime services, for example Trusted OS services. A guide + to integrate PSCI library with AArch32 EL3 Runtime Software can be found + `here`_. + + - (AArch64 only) The TSP (Test Secure Payload), corresponding to the BL32 + image, is not compiled in by default. Refer to the + `Building the Test Secure Payload`_ section below. + + - By default this produces a release version of the build. To produce a + debug version instead, refer to the "Debugging options" section below. + + - The build process creates products in a ``build`` directory tree, building + the objects and binaries for each boot loader stage in separate + sub-directories. The following boot loader binary files are created + from the corresponding ELF files: + + - ``build/<platform>/<build-type>/bl1.bin`` + - ``build/<platform>/<build-type>/bl2.bin`` + - ``build/<platform>/<build-type>/bl31.bin`` (AArch64 only) + - ``build/<platform>/<build-type>/bl32.bin`` (mandatory for AArch32) + + where ``<platform>`` is the name of the chosen platform and ``<build-type>`` + is either ``debug`` or ``release``. The actual number of images might differ + depending on the platform. + +- Build products for a specific build variant can be removed using: + + :: + + make DEBUG=<D> PLAT=<platform> clean + + ... where ``<D>`` is ``0`` or ``1``, as specified when building. + + The build tree can be removed completely using: + + :: + + make realclean + +Summary of build options +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The TF-A build system supports the following build options. Unless mentioned +otherwise, these options are expected to be specified at the build command +line and are not to be modified in any component makefiles. Note that the +build system doesn't track dependency for build options. Therefore, if any of +the build options are changed from a previous build, a clean build must be +performed. + +Common build options +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +- ``AARCH32_INSTRUCTION_SET``: Choose the AArch32 instruction set that the + compiler should use. Valid values are T32 and A32. It defaults to T32 due to + code having a smaller resulting size. + +- ``AARCH32_SP`` : Choose the AArch32 Secure Payload component to be built as + as the BL32 image when ``ARCH=aarch32``. The value should be the path to the + directory containing the SP source, relative to the ``bl32/``; the directory + is expected to contain a makefile called ``<aarch32_sp-value>.mk``. + +- ``ARCH`` : Choose the target build architecture for TF-A. It can take either + ``aarch64`` or ``aarch32`` as values. By default, it is defined to + ``aarch64``. + +- ``ARM_ARCH_MAJOR``: The major version of Arm Architecture to target when + compiling TF-A. Its value must be numeric, and defaults to 8 . See also, + *Armv8 Architecture Extensions* and *Armv7 Architecture Extensions* in + `Firmware Design`_. + +- ``ARM_ARCH_MINOR``: The minor version of Arm Architecture to target when + compiling TF-A. Its value must be a numeric, and defaults to 0. See also, + *Armv8 Architecture Extensions* in `Firmware Design`_. + +- ``BL2``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to BL2 + image for the ``fip`` target. In this case, the BL2 in the TF-A will not be + built. + +- ``BL2U``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to + BL2U image. In this case, the BL2U in TF-A will not be built. + +- ``BL2_AT_EL3``: This is an optional build option that enables the use of + BL2 at EL3 execution level. + +- ``BL2_IN_XIP_MEM``: In some use-cases BL2 will be stored in eXecute In Place + (XIP) memory, like BL1. In these use-cases, it is necessary to initialize + the RW sections in RAM, while leaving the RO sections in place. This option + enable this use-case. For now, this option is only supported when BL2_AT_EL3 + is set to '1'. + +- ``BL31``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to + BL31 image for the ``fip`` target. In this case, the BL31 in TF-A will not + be built. + +- ``BL31_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies the + file that contains the BL31 private key in PEM format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, + this file name will be used to save the key. + +- ``BL32``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to + BL32 image for the ``fip`` target. In this case, the BL32 in TF-A will not + be built. + +- ``BL32_EXTRA1``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to + Trusted OS Extra1 image for the ``fip`` target. + +- ``BL32_EXTRA2``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to + Trusted OS Extra2 image for the ``fip`` target. + +- ``BL32_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies the + file that contains the BL32 private key in PEM format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, + this file name will be used to save the key. + +- ``BL33``: Path to BL33 image in the host file system. This is mandatory for + ``fip`` target in case TF-A BL2 is used. + +- ``BL33_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies the + file that contains the BL33 private key in PEM format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, + this file name will be used to save the key. + +- ``BUILD_MESSAGE_TIMESTAMP``: String used to identify the time and date of the + compilation of each build. It must be set to a C string (including quotes + where applicable). Defaults to a string that contains the time and date of + the compilation. + +- ``BUILD_STRING``: Input string for VERSION_STRING, which allows the TF-A + build to be uniquely identified. Defaults to the current git commit id. + +- ``CFLAGS``: Extra user options appended on the compiler's command line in + addition to the options set by the build system. + +- ``COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU``: This option indicates whether the platform may + release several CPUs out of reset. It can take either 0 (several CPUs may be + brought up) or 1 (only one CPU will ever be brought up during cold reset). + Default is 0. If the platform always brings up a single CPU, there is no + need to distinguish between primary and secondary CPUs and the boot path can + be optimised. The ``plat_is_my_cpu_primary()`` and + ``plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup()`` platform porting interfaces do not need + to be implemented in this case. + +- ``CRASH_REPORTING``: A non-zero value enables a console dump of processor + register state when an unexpected exception occurs during execution of + BL31. This option defaults to the value of ``DEBUG`` - i.e. by default + this is only enabled for a debug build of the firmware. + +- ``CREATE_KEYS``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It tells the + certificate generation tool to create new keys in case no valid keys are + present or specified. Allowed options are '0' or '1'. Default is '1'. + +- ``CTX_INCLUDE_AARCH32_REGS`` : Boolean option that, when set to 1, will cause + the AArch32 system registers to be included when saving and restoring the + CPU context. The option must be set to 0 for AArch64-only platforms (that + is on hardware that does not implement AArch32, or at least not at EL1 and + higher ELs). Default value is 1. + +- ``CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS``: Boolean option that, when set to 1, will cause the FP + registers to be included when saving and restoring the CPU context. Default + is 0. + +- ``CTX_INCLUDE_PAUTH_REGS``: Boolean option that, when set to 1, allows + Pointer Authentication for **Secure world**. This will cause the + Armv8.3-PAuth registers to be included when saving and restoring the CPU + context as part of a world switch. Default value is 0. Pointer Authentication + is an experimental feature. + + Note that, if the CPU supports it, Pointer Authentication is allowed for + Non-secure world irrespectively of the value of this flag. "Allowed" means + that accesses to PAuth-related registers or execution of PAuth-related + instructions will not be trapped to EL3. As such, usage or not of PAuth in + Non-secure world images, depends on those images themselves. + +- ``DEBUG``: Chooses between a debug and release build. It can take either 0 + (release) or 1 (debug) as values. 0 is the default. + +- ``DISABLE_BIN_GENERATION``: Boolean option to disable the generation + of the binary image. If set to 1, then only the ELF image is built. + 0 is the default. + +- ``DYN_DISABLE_AUTH``: Provides the capability to dynamically disable Trusted + Board Boot authentication at runtime. This option is meant to be enabled only + for development platforms. ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` flag must be set if this + flag has to be enabled. 0 is the default. + +- ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE``: This option enables booting an EL3 payload instead of + the normal boot flow. It must specify the entry point address of the EL3 + payload. Please refer to the "Booting an EL3 payload" section for more + details. + +- ``ENABLE_AMU``: Boolean option to enable Activity Monitor Unit extensions. + This is an optional architectural feature available on v8.4 onwards. Some + v8.2 implementations also implement an AMU and this option can be used to + enable this feature on those systems as well. Default is 0. + +- ``ENABLE_ASSERTIONS``: This option controls whether or not calls to ``assert()`` + are compiled out. For debug builds, this option defaults to 1, and calls to + ``assert()`` are left in place. For release builds, this option defaults to 0 + and calls to ``assert()`` function are compiled out. This option can be set + independently of ``DEBUG``. It can also be used to hide any auxiliary code + that is only required for the assertion and does not fit in the assertion + itself. + +- ``ENABLE_BACKTRACE``: This option controls whether to enables backtrace + dumps or not. It is supported in both AArch64 and AArch32. However, in + AArch32 the format of the frame records are not defined in the AAPCS and they + are defined by the implementation. This implementation of backtrace only + supports the format used by GCC when T32 interworking is disabled. For this + reason enabling this option in AArch32 will force the compiler to only + generate A32 code. This option is enabled by default only in AArch64 debug + builds, but this behaviour can be overridden in each platform's Makefile or + in the build command line. + +- ``ENABLE_MPAM_FOR_LOWER_ELS``: Boolean option to enable lower ELs to use MPAM + feature. MPAM is an optional Armv8.4 extension that enables various memory + system components and resources to define partitions; software running at + various ELs can assign themselves to desired partition to control their + performance aspects. + + When this option is set to ``1``, EL3 allows lower ELs to access their own + MPAM registers without trapping into EL3. This option doesn't make use of + partitioning in EL3, however. Platform initialisation code should configure + and use partitions in EL3 as required. This option defaults to ``0``. + +- ``ENABLE_PAUTH``: Boolean option to enable Armv8.3 Pointer Authentication + for **TF-A BL images themselves**. If enabled, the compiler must support the + ``-msign-return-address`` option. This flag defaults to 0. Pointer + Authentication is an experimental feature. + + If this flag is enabled, ``CTX_INCLUDE_PAUTH_REGS`` must also be enabled. + +- ``ENABLE_PIE``: Boolean option to enable Position Independent Executable(PIE) + support within generic code in TF-A. This option is currently only supported + in BL31. Default is 0. + +- ``ENABLE_PMF``: Boolean option to enable support for optional Performance + Measurement Framework(PMF). Default is 0. + +- ``ENABLE_PSCI_STAT``: Boolean option to enable support for optional PSCI + functions ``PSCI_STAT_RESIDENCY`` and ``PSCI_STAT_COUNT``. Default is 0. + In the absence of an alternate stat collection backend, ``ENABLE_PMF`` must + be enabled. If ``ENABLE_PMF`` is set, the residency statistics are tracked in + software. + +- ``ENABLE_RUNTIME_INSTRUMENTATION``: Boolean option to enable runtime + instrumentation which injects timestamp collection points into TF-A to + allow runtime performance to be measured. Currently, only PSCI is + instrumented. Enabling this option enables the ``ENABLE_PMF`` build option + as well. Default is 0. + +- ``ENABLE_SPE_FOR_LOWER_ELS`` : Boolean option to enable Statistical Profiling + extensions. This is an optional architectural feature for AArch64. + The default is 1 but is automatically disabled when the target architecture + is AArch32. + +- ``ENABLE_SPM`` : Boolean option to enable the Secure Partition Manager (SPM). + Refer to the `Secure Partition Manager Design guide`_ for more details about + this feature. Default is 0. + +- ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS``: Boolean option to enable Scalable Vector Extension + (SVE) for the Non-secure world only. SVE is an optional architectural feature + for AArch64. Note that when SVE is enabled for the Non-secure world, access + to SIMD and floating-point functionality from the Secure world is disabled. + This is to avoid corruption of the Non-secure world data in the Z-registers + which are aliased by the SIMD and FP registers. The build option is not + compatible with the ``CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS`` build option, and will raise an + assert on platforms where SVE is implemented and ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS`` set to + 1. The default is 1 but is automatically disabled when the target + architecture is AArch32. + +- ``ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR``: String option to enable the stack protection + checks in GCC. Allowed values are "all", "strong", "default" and "none". The + default value is set to "none". "strong" is the recommended stack protection + level if this feature is desired. "none" disables the stack protection. For + all values other than "none", the ``plat_get_stack_protector_canary()`` + platform hook needs to be implemented. The value is passed as the last + component of the option ``-fstack-protector-$ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR``. + +- ``ERROR_DEPRECATED``: This option decides whether to treat the usage of + deprecated platform APIs, helper functions or drivers within Trusted + Firmware as error. It can take the value 1 (flag the use of deprecated + APIs as error) or 0. The default is 0. + +- ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING``: When set to ``1``, enable handling of exceptions + targeted at EL3. When set ``0`` (default), no exceptions are expected or + handled at EL3, and a panic will result. This is supported only for AArch64 + builds. + +- ``FAULT_INJECTION_SUPPORT``: ARMv8.4 extensions 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``. + +- ``FWU_FIP_NAME``: This is an optional build option which specifies the FWU + FIP filename for the ``fwu_fip`` target. Default is ``fwu_fip.bin``. + +- ``GENERATE_COT``: Boolean flag used to build and execute the ``cert_create`` + tool to create certificates as per the Chain of Trust described in + `Trusted Board Boot`_. The build system then calls ``fiptool`` to + include the certificates in the FIP and FWU_FIP. Default value is '0'. + + Specify both ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1`` and ``GENERATE_COT=1`` to include support + for the Trusted Board Boot feature in the BL1 and BL2 images, to generate + the corresponding certificates, and to include those certificates in the + FIP and FWU_FIP. + + Note that if ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=0`` and ``GENERATE_COT=1``, the BL1 and BL2 + images will not include support for Trusted Board Boot. The FIP will still + include the corresponding certificates. This FIP can be used to verify the + Chain of Trust on the host machine through other mechanisms. + + Note that if ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1`` and ``GENERATE_COT=0``, the BL1 and BL2 + images will include support for Trusted Board Boot, but the FIP and FWU_FIP + will not include the corresponding certificates, causing a boot failure. + +- ``GICV2_G0_FOR_EL3``: Unlike GICv3, the GICv2 architecture doesn't have + inherent support for specific EL3 type interrupts. Setting this build option + to ``1`` assumes GICv2 *Group 0* interrupts are expected to target EL3, both + by `platform abstraction layer`__ and `Interrupt Management Framework`__. + This allows GICv2 platforms to enable features requiring EL3 interrupt type. + This also means that all GICv2 Group 0 interrupts are delivered to EL3, and + the Secure Payload interrupts needs to be synchronously handed over to Secure + EL1 for handling. The default value of this option is ``0``, which means the + Group 0 interrupts are assumed to be handled by Secure EL1. + + .. __: `platform-interrupt-controller-API.rst` + .. __: `interrupt-framework-design.rst` + +- ``HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST``: When set to ``1``, External Aborts and SError + Interrupts will be always trapped in EL3 i.e. in BL31 at runtime. When set to + ``0`` (default), these exceptions will be trapped in the current exception + level (or in EL1 if the current exception level is EL0). + +- ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY``: On most Arm systems to-date, platform-specific + software operations are required for CPUs to enter and exit coherency. + However, newer systems exist where CPUs' entry to and exit from coherency + is managed in hardware. Such systems require software to only initiate these + operations, and the rest is managed in hardware, minimizing active software + management. In such systems, this boolean option enables TF-A to carry out + build and run-time optimizations during boot and power management operations. + This option defaults to 0 and if it is enabled, then it implies + ``WARMBOOT_ENABLE_DCACHE_EARLY`` is also enabled. + + If this flag is disabled while the platform which TF-A is compiled for + includes cores that manage coherency in hardware, then a compilation error is + generated. This is based on the fact that a system cannot have, at the same + time, cores that manage coherency in hardware and cores that don't. In other + words, a platform cannot have, at the same time, cores that require + ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY=1`` and cores that require + ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY=0``. + + Note that, when ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY`` is enabled, version 2 of + translation library (xlat tables v2) must be used; version 1 of translation + library is not supported. + +- ``JUNO_AARCH32_EL3_RUNTIME``: This build flag enables you to execute EL3 + runtime software in AArch32 mode, which is required to run AArch32 on Juno. + By default this flag is set to '0'. Enabling this flag builds BL1 and BL2 in + AArch64 and facilitates the loading of ``SP_MIN`` and BL33 as AArch32 executable + images. + +- ``KEY_ALG``: This build flag enables the user to select the algorithm to be + used for generating the PKCS keys and subsequent signing of the certificate. + It accepts 3 values: ``rsa``, ``rsa_1_5`` and ``ecdsa``. The option + ``rsa_1_5`` is the legacy PKCS#1 RSA 1.5 algorithm which is not TBBR + compliant and is retained only for compatibility. The default value of this + flag is ``rsa`` which is the TBBR compliant PKCS#1 RSA 2.1 scheme. + +- ``HASH_ALG``: This build flag enables the user to select the secure hash + algorithm. It accepts 3 values: ``sha256``, ``sha384`` and ``sha512``. + The default value of this flag is ``sha256``. + +- ``LDFLAGS``: Extra user options appended to the linkers' command line in + addition to the one set by the build system. + +- ``LOG_LEVEL``: Chooses the log level, which controls the amount of console log + output compiled into the build. This should be one of the following: + + :: + + 0 (LOG_LEVEL_NONE) + 10 (LOG_LEVEL_ERROR) + 20 (LOG_LEVEL_NOTICE) + 30 (LOG_LEVEL_WARNING) + 40 (LOG_LEVEL_INFO) + 50 (LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE) + + All log output up to and including the selected log level is compiled into + the build. The default value is 40 in debug builds and 20 in release builds. + +- ``NON_TRUSTED_WORLD_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It + specifies the file that contains the Non-Trusted World private key in PEM + format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, this file name will be used to save the key. + +- ``NS_BL2U``: Path to NS_BL2U image in the host file system. This image is + optional. It is only needed if the platform makefile specifies that it + is required in order to build the ``fwu_fip`` target. + +- ``NS_TIMER_SWITCH``: Enable save and restore for non-secure timer register + contents upon world switch. It can take either 0 (don't save and restore) or + 1 (do save and restore). 0 is the default. An SPD may set this to 1 if it + wants the timer registers to be saved and restored. + +- ``OVERRIDE_LIBC``: This option allows platforms to override the default libc + for the BL image. It can be either 0 (include) or 1 (remove). The default + value is 0. + +- ``PL011_GENERIC_UART``: Boolean option to indicate the PL011 driver that + the underlying hardware is not a full PL011 UART but a minimally compliant + generic UART, which is a subset of the PL011. The driver will not access + any register that is not part of the SBSA generic UART specification. + Default value is 0 (a full PL011 compliant UART is present). + +- ``PLAT``: Choose a platform to build TF-A for. The chosen platform name + must be subdirectory of any depth under ``plat/``, and must contain a + platform makefile named ``platform.mk``. For example, to build TF-A for the + Arm Juno board, select PLAT=juno. + +- ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE``: This option enables booting a preloaded BL33 image + instead of the normal boot flow. When defined, it must specify the entry + point address for the preloaded BL33 image. This option is incompatible with + ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE``. If both are defined, ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE`` has priority + over ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE``. + +- ``PROGRAMMABLE_RESET_ADDRESS``: This option indicates whether the reset + vector address can be programmed or is fixed on the platform. It can take + either 0 (fixed) or 1 (programmable). Default is 0. If the platform has a + programmable reset address, it is expected that a CPU will start executing + code directly at the right address, both on a cold and warm reset. In this + case, there is no need to identify the entrypoint on boot and the boot path + can be optimised. The ``plat_get_my_entrypoint()`` platform porting interface + does not need to be implemented in this case. + +- ``PSCI_EXTENDED_STATE_ID``: As per PSCI1.0 Specification, there are 2 formats + possible for the PSCI power-state parameter: original and extended State-ID + formats. This flag if set to 1, configures the generic PSCI layer to use the + extended format. The default value of this flag is 0, which means by default + the original power-state format is used by the PSCI implementation. This flag + should be specified by the platform makefile and it governs the return value + of PSCI_FEATURES API for CPU_SUSPEND smc function id. When this option is + enabled on Arm platforms, the option ``ARM_RECOM_STATE_ID_ENC`` needs to be + set to 1 as well. + +- ``RAS_EXTENSION``: When set to ``1``, enable Armv8.2 RAS features. RAS features + are an optional extension for pre-Armv8.2 CPUs, but are mandatory for Armv8.2 + or later CPUs. + + When ``RAS_EXTENSION`` is set to ``1``, ``HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST`` must also be + set to ``1``. + + This option is disabled by default. + +- ``RESET_TO_BL31``: Enable BL31 entrypoint as the CPU reset vector instead + of the BL1 entrypoint. It can take the value 0 (CPU reset to BL1 + entrypoint) or 1 (CPU reset to BL31 entrypoint). + The default value is 0. + +- ``RESET_TO_SP_MIN``: SP_MIN is the minimal AArch32 Secure Payload provided + in TF-A. This flag configures SP_MIN entrypoint as the CPU reset vector + instead of the BL1 entrypoint. It can take the value 0 (CPU reset to BL1 + entrypoint) or 1 (CPU reset to SP_MIN entrypoint). The default value is 0. + +- ``ROT_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies the + file that contains the ROT private key in PEM format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, this + file name will be used to save the key. + +- ``SAVE_KEYS``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It tells the + certificate generation tool to save the keys used to establish the Chain of + Trust. Allowed options are '0' or '1'. Default is '0' (do not save). + +- ``SCP_BL2``: Path to SCP_BL2 image in the host file system. This image is optional. + If a SCP_BL2 image is present then this option must be passed for the ``fip`` + target. + +- ``SCP_BL2_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies the + file that contains the SCP_BL2 private key in PEM format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, + this file name will be used to save the key. + +- ``SCP_BL2U``: Path to SCP_BL2U image in the host file system. This image is + optional. It is only needed if the platform makefile specifies that it + is required in order to build the ``fwu_fip`` target. + +- ``SDEI_SUPPORT``: Setting this to ``1`` enables support for Software + Delegated Exception Interface to BL31 image. This defaults to ``0``. + + When set to ``1``, the build option ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING`` must also be + set to ``1``. + +- ``SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA``: Whether code and read-only data should be + isolated on separate memory pages. This is a trade-off between security and + memory usage. See "Isolating code and read-only data on separate memory + pages" section in `Firmware Design`_. This flag is disabled by default and + affects all BL images. + +- ``SPD``: Choose a Secure Payload Dispatcher component to be built into TF-A. + This build option is only valid if ``ARCH=aarch64``. The value should be + the path to the directory containing the SPD source, relative to + ``services/spd/``; the directory is expected to contain a makefile called + ``<spd-value>.mk``. + +- ``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT``: This option introduces an infinite loop in BL1. It can + take either 0 (no loop) or 1 (add a loop). 0 is the default. This loop stops + execution in BL1 just before handing over to BL31. At this point, all + firmware images have been loaded in memory, and the MMU and caches are + turned off. Refer to the "Debugging options" section for more details. + +- ``SP_MIN_WITH_SECURE_FIQ``: Boolean flag to indicate the SP_MIN handles + secure interrupts (caught through the FIQ line). Platforms can enable + this directive if they need to handle such interruption. When enabled, + the FIQ are handled in monitor mode and non secure world is not allowed + to mask these events. Platforms that enable FIQ handling in SP_MIN shall + implement the api ``sp_min_plat_fiq_handler()``. The default value is 0. + +- ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT``: Boolean flag to include support for the Trusted Board + Boot feature. When set to '1', BL1 and BL2 images include support to load + and verify the certificates and images in a FIP, and BL1 includes support + for the Firmware Update. The default value is '0'. Generation and inclusion + of certificates in the FIP and FWU_FIP depends upon the value of the + ``GENERATE_COT`` option. + + Note: This option depends on ``CREATE_KEYS`` to be enabled. If the keys + already exist in disk, they will be overwritten without further notice. + +- ``TRUSTED_WORLD_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It + specifies the file that contains the Trusted World private key in PEM + format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, this file name will be used to save the key. + +- ``TSP_INIT_ASYNC``: Choose BL32 initialization method as asynchronous or + synchronous, (see "Initializing a BL32 Image" section in + `Firmware Design`_). It can take the value 0 (BL32 is initialized using + synchronous method) or 1 (BL32 is initialized using asynchronous method). + Default is 0. + +- ``TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT``: A non zero value enables the interrupt + routing model which routes non-secure interrupts asynchronously from TSP + to EL3 causing immediate preemption of TSP. The EL3 is responsible + for saving and restoring the TSP context in this routing model. The + default routing model (when the value is 0) is to route non-secure + interrupts to TSP allowing it to save its context and hand over + synchronously to EL3 via an SMC. + + Note: when ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING`` is ``1``, ``TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT`` + must also be set to ``1``. + +- ``USE_ARM_LINK``: This flag determines whether to enable support for ARM + linker. When the ``LINKER`` build variable points to the armlink linker, + this flag is enabled automatically. To enable support for armlink, platforms + will have to provide a scatter file for the BL image. Currently, Tegra + platforms use the armlink support to compile BL3-1 images. + +- ``USE_COHERENT_MEM``: This flag determines whether to include the coherent + memory region in the BL memory map or not (see "Use of Coherent memory in + TF-A" section in `Firmware Design`_). It can take the value 1 + (Coherent memory region is included) or 0 (Coherent memory region is + excluded). Default is 1. + +- ``USE_ROMLIB``: This flag determines whether library at ROM will be used. + This feature creates a library of functions to be placed in ROM and thus + reduces SRAM usage. Refer to `Library at ROM`_ for further details. Default + is 0. + +- ``V``: Verbose build. If assigned anything other than 0, the build commands + are printed. Default is 0. + +- ``VERSION_STRING``: String used in the log output for each TF-A image. + Defaults to a string formed by concatenating the version number, build type + and build string. + +- ``WARMBOOT_ENABLE_DCACHE_EARLY`` : Boolean option to enable D-cache early on + the CPU after warm boot. This is applicable for platforms which do not + require interconnect programming to enable cache coherency (eg: single + cluster platforms). If this option is enabled, then warm boot path + enables D-caches immediately after enabling MMU. This option defaults to 0. + +Arm development platform specific build options +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +- ``ARM_BL31_IN_DRAM``: Boolean option to select loading of BL31 in TZC secured + DRAM. By default, BL31 is in the secure SRAM. Set this flag to 1 to load + BL31 in TZC secured DRAM. If TSP is present, then setting this option also + sets the TSP location to DRAM and ignores the ``ARM_TSP_RAM_LOCATION`` build + flag. + +- ``ARM_CONFIG_CNTACR``: boolean option to unlock access to the ``CNTBase<N>`` + frame registers by setting the ``CNTCTLBase.CNTACR<N>`` register bits. The + frame number ``<N>`` is defined by ``PLAT_ARM_NSTIMER_FRAME_ID``, which should + match the frame used by the Non-Secure image (normally the Linux kernel). + Default is true (access to the frame is allowed). + +- ``ARM_DISABLE_TRUSTED_WDOG``: boolean option to disable the Trusted Watchdog. + By default, Arm platforms use a watchdog to trigger a system reset in case + an error is encountered during the boot process (for example, when an image + could not be loaded or authenticated). The watchdog is enabled in the early + platform setup hook at BL1 and disabled in the BL1 prepare exit hook. The + Trusted Watchdog may be disabled at build time for testing or development + purposes. + +- ``ARM_LINUX_KERNEL_AS_BL33``: The Linux kernel expects registers x0-x3 to + have specific values at boot. This boolean option allows the Trusted Firmware + to have a Linux kernel image as BL33 by preparing the registers to these + values before jumping to BL33. This option defaults to 0 (disabled). For + AArch64 ``RESET_TO_BL31`` and for AArch32 ``RESET_TO_SP_MIN`` must be 1 when + using it. If this option is set to 1, ``ARM_PRELOADED_DTB_BASE`` must be set + to the location of a device tree blob (DTB) already loaded in memory. The + Linux Image address must be specified using the ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE`` + option. + +- ``ARM_PLAT_MT``: This flag determines whether the Arm platform layer has to + cater for the multi-threading ``MT`` bit when accessing MPIDR. When this flag + is set, the functions which deal with MPIDR assume that the ``MT`` bit in + MPIDR is set and access the bit-fields in MPIDR accordingly. Default value of + this flag is 0. Note that this option is not used on FVP platforms. + +- ``ARM_RECOM_STATE_ID_ENC``: The PSCI1.0 specification recommends an encoding + for the construction of composite state-ID in the power-state parameter. + The existing PSCI clients currently do not support this encoding of + State-ID yet. Hence this flag is used to configure whether to use the + recommended State-ID encoding or not. The default value of this flag is 0, + in which case the platform is configured to expect NULL in the State-ID + field of power-state parameter. + +- ``ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION``: used when ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1``. It specifies the + location of the ROTPK hash returned by the function ``plat_get_rotpk_info()`` + for Arm platforms. Depending on the selected option, the proper private key + must be specified using the ``ROT_KEY`` option when building the Trusted + Firmware. This private key will be used by the certificate generation tool + to sign the BL2 and Trusted Key certificates. Available options for + ``ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION`` are: + + - ``regs`` : return the ROTPK hash stored in the Trusted root-key storage + registers. The private key corresponding to this ROTPK hash is not + currently available. + - ``devel_rsa`` : return a development public key hash embedded in the BL1 + and BL2 binaries. This hash has been obtained from the RSA public key + ``arm_rotpk_rsa.der``, located in ``plat/arm/board/common/rotpk``. To use + this option, ``arm_rotprivk_rsa.pem`` must be specified as ``ROT_KEY`` when + creating the certificates. + - ``devel_ecdsa`` : return a development public key hash embedded in the BL1 + and BL2 binaries. This hash has been obtained from the ECDSA public key + ``arm_rotpk_ecdsa.der``, located in ``plat/arm/board/common/rotpk``. To use + this option, ``arm_rotprivk_ecdsa.pem`` must be specified as ``ROT_KEY`` + when creating the certificates. + +- ``ARM_TSP_RAM_LOCATION``: location of the TSP binary. Options: + + - ``tsram`` : Trusted SRAM (default option when TBB is not enabled) + - ``tdram`` : Trusted DRAM (if available) + - ``dram`` : Secure region in DRAM (default option when TBB is enabled, + configured by the TrustZone controller) + +- ``ARM_XLAT_TABLES_LIB_V1``: boolean option to compile TF-A with version 1 + of the translation tables library instead of version 2. It is set to 0 by + default, which selects version 2. + +- ``ARM_CRYPTOCELL_INTEG`` : bool option to enable TF-A to invoke Arm® + TrustZone® CryptoCell functionality for Trusted Board Boot on capable Arm + platforms. If this option is specified, then the path to the CryptoCell + SBROM library must be specified via ``CCSBROM_LIB_PATH`` flag. + +For a better understanding of these options, the Arm development platform memory +map is explained in the `Firmware Design`_. + +Arm CSS platform specific build options +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +- ``CSS_DETECT_PRE_1_7_0_SCP``: Boolean flag to detect SCP version + incompatibility. Version 1.7.0 of the SCP firmware made a non-backwards + compatible change to the MTL protocol, used for AP/SCP communication. + TF-A no longer supports earlier SCP versions. If this option is set to 1 + then TF-A will detect if an earlier version is in use. Default is 1. + +- ``CSS_LOAD_SCP_IMAGES``: Boolean flag, which when set, adds SCP_BL2 and + SCP_BL2U to the FIP and FWU_FIP respectively, and enables them to be loaded + during boot. Default is 1. + +- ``CSS_USE_SCMI_SDS_DRIVER``: Boolean flag which selects SCMI/SDS drivers + instead of SCPI/BOM driver for communicating with the SCP during power + management operations and for SCP RAM Firmware transfer. If this option + is set to 1, then SCMI/SDS drivers will be used. Default is 0. + +Arm FVP platform specific build options +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +- ``FVP_CLUSTER_COUNT`` : Configures the cluster count to be used to + build the topology tree within TF-A. By default TF-A is configured for dual + cluster topology and this option can be used to override the default value. + +- ``FVP_INTERCONNECT_DRIVER``: Selects the interconnect driver to be built. The + default interconnect driver depends on the value of ``FVP_CLUSTER_COUNT`` as + explained in the options below: + + - ``FVP_CCI`` : The CCI driver is selected. This is the default + if 0 < ``FVP_CLUSTER_COUNT`` <= 2. + - ``FVP_CCN`` : The CCN driver is selected. This is the default + if ``FVP_CLUSTER_COUNT`` > 2. + +- ``FVP_MAX_CPUS_PER_CLUSTER``: Sets the maximum number of CPUs implemented in + a single cluster. This option defaults to 4. + +- ``FVP_MAX_PE_PER_CPU``: Sets the maximum number of PEs implemented on any CPU + in the system. This option defaults to 1. Note that the build option + ``ARM_PLAT_MT`` doesn't have any effect on FVP platforms. + +- ``FVP_USE_GIC_DRIVER`` : Selects the GIC driver to be built. Options: + + - ``FVP_GIC600`` : The GIC600 implementation of GICv3 is selected + - ``FVP_GICV2`` : The GICv2 only driver is selected + - ``FVP_GICV3`` : The GICv3 only driver is selected (default option) + +- ``FVP_USE_SP804_TIMER`` : Use the SP804 timer instead of the Generic Timer + for functions that wait for an arbitrary time length (udelay and mdelay). + The default value is 0. + +- ``FVP_HW_CONFIG_DTS`` : Specify the path to the DTS file to be compiled + to DTB and packaged in FIP as the HW_CONFIG. See `Firmware Design`_ for + details on HW_CONFIG. By default, this is initialized to a sensible DTS + file in ``fdts/`` folder depending on other build options. But some cases, + like shifted affinity format for MPIDR, cannot be detected at build time + and this option is needed to specify the appropriate DTS file. + +- ``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. + +ARM JUNO platform specific build options +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +- ``JUNO_TZMP1`` : Boolean option to configure Juno to be used for TrustZone + Media Protection (TZ-MP1). Default value of this flag is 0. + +Debugging options +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +To compile a debug version and make the build more verbose use + +:: + + make PLAT=<platform> DEBUG=1 V=1 all + +AArch64 GCC uses DWARF version 4 debugging symbols by default. Some tools (for +example DS-5) might not support this and may need an older version of DWARF +symbols to be emitted by GCC. This can be achieved by using the +``-gdwarf-<version>`` flag, with the version being set to 2 or 3. Setting the +version to 2 is recommended for DS-5 versions older than 5.16. + +When debugging logic problems it might also be useful to disable all compiler +optimizations by using ``-O0``. + +NOTE: Using ``-O0`` could cause output images to be larger and base addresses +might need to be recalculated (see the **Memory layout on Arm development +platforms** section in the `Firmware Design`_). + +Extra debug options can be passed to the build system by setting ``CFLAGS`` or +``LDFLAGS``: + +.. code:: makefile + + CFLAGS='-O0 -gdwarf-2' \ + make PLAT=<platform> DEBUG=1 V=1 all + +Note that using ``-Wl,`` style compilation driver options in ``CFLAGS`` will be +ignored as the linker is called directly. + +It is also possible to introduce an infinite loop to help in debugging the +post-BL2 phase of TF-A. This can be done by rebuilding BL1 with the +``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT=1`` build flag. Refer to the `Summary of build options`_ +section. In this case, the developer may take control of the target using a +debugger when indicated by the console output. When using DS-5, the following +commands can be used: + +:: + + # Stop target execution + interrupt + + # + # Prepare your debugging environment, e.g. set breakpoints + # + + # Jump over the debug loop + set var $AARCH64::$Core::$PC = $AARCH64::$Core::$PC + 4 + + # Resume execution + continue + +Building the Test Secure Payload +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The TSP is coupled with a companion runtime service in the BL31 firmware, +called the TSPD. Therefore, if you intend to use the TSP, the BL31 image +must be recompiled as well. For more information on SPs and SPDs, see the +`Secure-EL1 Payloads and Dispatchers`_ section in the `Firmware Design`_. + +First clean the TF-A build directory to get rid of any previous BL31 binary. +Then to build the TSP image use: + +:: + + make PLAT=<platform> SPD=tspd all + +An additional boot loader binary file is created in the ``build`` directory: + +:: + + build/<platform>/<build-type>/bl32.bin + + +Building and using the FIP tool +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Firmware Image Package (FIP) is a packaging format used by TF-A to package +firmware images in a single binary. The number and type of images that should +be packed in a FIP is platform specific and may include TF-A images and other +firmware images required by the platform. For example, most platforms require +a BL33 image which corresponds to the normal world bootloader (e.g. UEFI or +U-Boot). + +The TF-A build system provides the make target ``fip`` to create a FIP file +for the specified platform using the FIP creation tool included in the TF-A +project. Examples below show how to build a FIP file for FVP, packaging TF-A +and BL33 images. + +For AArch64: + +:: + + make PLAT=fvp BL33=<path-to>/bl33.bin fip + +For AArch32: + +:: + + make PLAT=fvp ARCH=aarch32 AARCH32_SP=sp_min BL33=<path-to>/bl33.bin fip + +The resulting FIP may be found in: + +:: + + build/fvp/<build-type>/fip.bin + +For advanced operations on FIP files, it is also possible to independently build +the tool and create or modify FIPs using this tool. To do this, follow these +steps: + +It is recommended to remove old artifacts before building the tool: + +:: + + make -C tools/fiptool clean + +Build the tool: + +:: + + make [DEBUG=1] [V=1] fiptool + +The tool binary can be located in: + +:: + + ./tools/fiptool/fiptool + +Invoking the tool with ``help`` will print a help message with all available +options. + +Example 1: create a new Firmware package ``fip.bin`` that contains BL2 and BL31: + +:: + + ./tools/fiptool/fiptool create \ + --tb-fw build/<platform>/<build-type>/bl2.bin \ + --soc-fw build/<platform>/<build-type>/bl31.bin \ + fip.bin + +Example 2: view the contents of an existing Firmware package: + +:: + + ./tools/fiptool/fiptool info <path-to>/fip.bin + +Example 3: update the entries of an existing Firmware package: + +:: + + # Change the BL2 from Debug to Release version + ./tools/fiptool/fiptool update \ + --tb-fw build/<platform>/release/bl2.bin \ + build/<platform>/debug/fip.bin + +Example 4: unpack all entries from an existing Firmware package: + +:: + + # Images will be unpacked to the working directory + ./tools/fiptool/fiptool unpack <path-to>/fip.bin + +Example 5: remove an entry from an existing Firmware package: + +:: + + ./tools/fiptool/fiptool remove \ + --tb-fw build/<platform>/debug/fip.bin + +Note that if the destination FIP file exists, the create, update and +remove operations will automatically overwrite it. + +The unpack operation will fail if the images already exist at the +destination. In that case, use -f or --force to continue. + +More information about FIP can be found in the `Firmware Design`_ document. + +Building FIP images with support for Trusted Board Boot +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Trusted Board Boot primarily consists of the following two features: + +- Image Authentication, described in `Trusted Board Boot`_, and +- Firmware Update, described in `Firmware Update`_ + +The following steps should be followed to build FIP and (optionally) FWU_FIP +images with support for these features: + +#. Fulfill the dependencies of the ``mbedtls`` cryptographic and image parser + modules by checking out a recent version of the `mbed TLS Repository`_. It + is important to use a version that is compatible with TF-A and fixes any + known security vulnerabilities. See `mbed TLS Security Center`_ for more + information. The latest version of TF-A is tested with tag + ``mbedtls-2.16.0``. + + The ``drivers/auth/mbedtls/mbedtls_*.mk`` files contain the list of mbed TLS + source files the modules depend upon. + ``include/drivers/auth/mbedtls/mbedtls_config.h`` contains the configuration + options required to build the mbed TLS sources. + + Note that the mbed TLS library is licensed under the Apache version 2.0 + license. Using mbed TLS source code will affect the licensing of TF-A + binaries that are built using this library. + +#. To build the FIP image, ensure the following command line variables are set + while invoking ``make`` to build TF-A: + + - ``MBEDTLS_DIR=<path of the directory containing mbed TLS sources>`` + - ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1`` + - ``GENERATE_COT=1`` + + In the case of Arm platforms, the location of the ROTPK hash must also be + specified at build time. Two locations are currently supported (see + ``ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION`` build option): + + - ``ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION=regs``: the ROTPK hash is obtained from the Trusted + root-key storage registers present in the platform. On Juno, this + registers are read-only. On FVP Base and Cortex models, the registers + are read-only, but the value can be specified using the command line + option ``bp.trusted_key_storage.public_key`` when launching the model. + On both Juno and FVP models, the default value corresponds to an + ECDSA-SECP256R1 public key hash, whose private part is not currently + available. + + - ``ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION=devel_rsa``: use the ROTPK hash that is hardcoded + in the Arm platform port. The private/public RSA key pair may be + found in ``plat/arm/board/common/rotpk``. + + - ``ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION=devel_ecdsa``: use the ROTPK hash that is hardcoded + in the Arm platform port. The private/public ECDSA key pair may be + found in ``plat/arm/board/common/rotpk``. + + Example of command line using RSA development keys: + + :: + + MBEDTLS_DIR=<path of the directory containing mbed TLS sources> \ + make PLAT=<platform> TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1 GENERATE_COT=1 \ + ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION=devel_rsa \ + ROT_KEY=plat/arm/board/common/rotpk/arm_rotprivk_rsa.pem \ + BL33=<path-to>/<bl33_image> \ + all fip + + The result of this build will be the bl1.bin and the fip.bin binaries. This + FIP will include the certificates corresponding to the Chain of Trust + described in the TBBR-client document. These certificates can also be found + in the output build directory. + +#. The optional FWU_FIP contains any additional images to be loaded from + Non-Volatile storage during the `Firmware Update`_ process. To build the + FWU_FIP, any FWU images required by the platform must be specified on the + command line. On Arm development platforms like Juno, these are: + + - NS_BL2U. The AP non-secure Firmware Updater image. + - SCP_BL2U. The SCP Firmware Update Configuration image. + + Example of Juno command line for generating both ``fwu`` and ``fwu_fip`` + targets using RSA development: + + :: + + MBEDTLS_DIR=<path of the directory containing mbed TLS sources> \ + make PLAT=juno TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1 GENERATE_COT=1 \ + ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION=devel_rsa \ + ROT_KEY=plat/arm/board/common/rotpk/arm_rotprivk_rsa.pem \ + BL33=<path-to>/<bl33_image> \ + SCP_BL2=<path-to>/<scp_bl2_image> \ + SCP_BL2U=<path-to>/<scp_bl2u_image> \ + NS_BL2U=<path-to>/<ns_bl2u_image> \ + all fip fwu_fip + + Note: The BL2U image will be built by default and added to the FWU_FIP. + The user may override this by adding ``BL2U=<path-to>/<bl2u_image>`` + to the command line above. + + Note: Building and installing the non-secure and SCP FWU images (NS_BL1U, + NS_BL2U and SCP_BL2U) is outside the scope of this document. + + The result of this build will be bl1.bin, fip.bin and fwu_fip.bin binaries. + Both the FIP and FWU_FIP will include the certificates corresponding to the + Chain of Trust described in the TBBR-client document. These certificates + can also be found in the output build directory. + +Building the Certificate Generation Tool +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The ``cert_create`` tool is built as part of the TF-A build process when the +``fip`` make target is specified and TBB is enabled (as described in the +previous section), but it can also be built separately with the following +command: + +:: + + make PLAT=<platform> [DEBUG=1] [V=1] certtool + +For platforms that require their own IDs in certificate files, the generic +'cert_create' tool can be built with the following command. Note that the target +platform must define its IDs within a ``platform_oid.h`` header file for the +build to succeed. + +:: + + make PLAT=<platform> USE_TBBR_DEFS=0 [DEBUG=1] [V=1] certtool + +``DEBUG=1`` builds the tool in debug mode. ``V=1`` makes the build process more +verbose. The following command should be used to obtain help about the tool: + +:: + + ./tools/cert_create/cert_create -h + +Building a FIP for Juno and FVP +------------------------------- + +This section provides Juno and FVP specific instructions to build Trusted +Firmware, obtain the additional required firmware, and pack it all together in +a single FIP binary. It assumes that a `Linaro Release`_ has been installed. + +Note: Pre-built binaries for AArch32 are available from Linaro Release 16.12 +onwards. Before that release, pre-built binaries are only available for AArch64. + +Note: Follow the full instructions for one platform before switching to a +different one. Mixing instructions for different platforms may result in +corrupted binaries. + +Note: The uboot image downloaded by the Linaro workspace script does not always +match the uboot image packaged as BL33 in the corresponding fip file. It is +recommended to use the version that is packaged in the fip file using the +instructions below. + +Note: For the FVP, the kernel FDT is packaged in FIP during build and loaded +by the firmware at runtime. See `Obtaining the Flattened Device Trees`_ +section for more info on selecting the right FDT to use. + +#. Clean the working directory + + :: + + make realclean + +#. Obtain SCP_BL2 (Juno) and BL33 (all platforms) + + Use the fiptool to extract the SCP_BL2 and BL33 images from the FIP + package included in the Linaro release: + + :: + + # Build the fiptool + make [DEBUG=1] [V=1] fiptool + + # Unpack firmware images from Linaro FIP + ./tools/fiptool/fiptool unpack <path-to-linaro-release>/fip.bin + + The unpack operation will result in a set of binary images extracted to the + current working directory. The SCP_BL2 image corresponds to + ``scp-fw.bin`` and BL33 corresponds to ``nt-fw.bin``. + + Note: The fiptool will complain if the images to be unpacked already + exist in the current directory.

It allows full, direct access to the +hardware, for example to run silicon soak tests. + +Although it is possible to implement some baremetal secure firmware from +scratch, this is a complex task on some platforms, depending on the level of +configuration required to put the system in the expected state. + +Rather than booting a baremetal application, a possible compromise is to boot +``EL3 payloads`` through TF-A instead. This is implemented as an alternative +boot flow, where a modified BL2 boots an EL3 payload, instead of loading the +other BL images and passing control to BL31. It reduces the complexity of +developing EL3 baremetal code by: + +- putting the system into a known architectural state; +- taking care of platform secure world initialization; +- loading the SCP_BL2 image if required by the platform. + +When booting an EL3 payload on Arm standard platforms, the configuration of the +TrustZone controller is simplified such that only region 0 is enabled and is +configured to permit secure access only. This gives full access to the whole +DRAM to the EL3 payload. + +The system is left in the same state as when entering BL31 in the default boot +flow. In particular: + +- Running in EL3; +- Current state is AArch64; +- Little-endian data access; +- All exceptions disabled; +- MMU disabled; +- Caches disabled. + +Booting an EL3 payload +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The EL3 payload image is a standalone image and is not part of the FIP. It is +not loaded by TF-A. Therefore, there are 2 possible scenarios: + +- The EL3 payload may reside in non-volatile memory (NVM) and execute in + place. In this case, booting it is just a matter of specifying the right + address in NVM through ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE`` when building TF-A. + +- The EL3 payload needs to be loaded in volatile memory (e.g. DRAM) at + run-time. + +To help in the latter scenario, the ``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT=1`` build option can be +used. The infinite loop that it introduces in BL1 stops execution at the right +moment for a debugger to take control of the target and load the payload (for +example, over JTAG). + +It is expected that this loading method will work in most cases, as a debugger +connection is usually available in a pre-production system. The user is free to +use any other platform-specific mechanism to load the EL3 payload, though. + +Booting an EL3 payload on FVP +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The EL3 payloads boot flow requires the CPU's mailbox to be cleared at reset for +the secondary CPUs holding pen to work properly. Unfortunately, its reset value +is undefined on the FVP platform and the FVP platform code doesn't clear it. +Therefore, one must modify the way the model is normally invoked in order to +clear the mailbox at start-up. + +One way to do that is to create an 8-byte file containing all zero bytes using +the following command: + +:: + + dd if=/dev/zero of=mailbox.dat bs=1 count=8 + +and pre-load it into the FVP memory at the mailbox address (i.e. ``0x04000000``) +using the following model parameters: + +:: + + --data cluster0.cpu0=mailbox.dat@0x04000000 [Base FVPs] + --data=mailbox.dat@0x04000000 [Foundation FVP] + +To provide the model with the EL3 payload image, the following methods may be +used: + +#. If the EL3 payload is able to execute in place, it may be programmed into + flash memory. On Base Cortex and AEM FVPs, the following model parameter + loads it at the base address of the NOR FLASH1 (the NOR FLASH0 is already + used for the FIP): + + :: + + -C bp.flashloader1.fname="<path-to>/<el3-payload>" + + On Foundation FVP, there is no flash loader component and the EL3 payload + may be programmed anywhere in flash using method 3 below. + +#. When using the ``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT=1`` loading method, the following DS-5 + command may be used to load the EL3 payload ELF image over JTAG: + + :: + + load <path-to>/el3-payload.elf + +#. The EL3 payload may be pre-loaded in volatile memory using the following + model parameters: + + :: + + --data cluster0.cpu0="<path-to>/el3-payload>"@address [Base FVPs] + --data="<path-to>/<el3-payload>"@address [Foundation FVP] + + The address provided to the FVP must match the ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE`` address + used when building TF-A. + +Booting an EL3 payload on Juno +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +If the EL3 payload is able to execute in place, it may be programmed in flash +memory by adding an entry in the ``SITE1/HBI0262x/images.txt`` configuration file +on the Juno SD card (where ``x`` depends on the revision of the Juno board). +Refer to the `Juno Getting Started Guide`_, section 2.3 "Flash memory +programming" for more information. + +Alternatively, the same DS-5 command mentioned in the FVP section above can +be used to load the EL3 payload's ELF file over JTAG on Juno. + +Preloaded BL33 alternative boot flow +------------------------------------ + +Some platforms have the ability to preload BL33 into memory instead of relying +on TF-A to load it. This may simplify packaging of the normal world code and +improve performance in a development environment. When secure world cold boot +is complete, TF-A simply jumps to a BL33 base address provided at build time. + +For this option to be used, the ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE`` build option has to be +used when compiling TF-A. For example, the following command will create a FIP +without a BL33 and prepare to jump to a BL33 image loaded at address +0x80000000: + +:: + + make PRELOADED_BL33_BASE=0x80000000 PLAT=fvp all fip + +Boot of a preloaded kernel image on Base FVP +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The following example uses a simplified boot flow by directly jumping from the +TF-A to the Linux kernel, which will use a ramdisk as filesystem. This can be +useful if both the kernel and the device tree blob (DTB) are already present in +memory (like in FVP). + +For example, if the kernel is loaded at ``0x80080000`` and the DTB is loaded at +address ``0x82000000``, the firmware can be built like this: + +:: + + CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- \ + make PLAT=fvp DEBUG=1 \ + RESET_TO_BL31=1 \ + ARM_LINUX_KERNEL_AS_BL33=1 \ + PRELOADED_BL33_BASE=0x80080000 \ + ARM_PRELOADED_DTB_BASE=0x82000000 \ + all fip + +Now, it is needed to modify the DTB so that the kernel knows the address of the +ramdisk. The following script generates a patched DTB from the provided one, +assuming that the ramdisk is loaded at address ``0x84000000``.
