doc: Split the User Guide into multiple files

Browse source 
The User Guide document has grown organically over time and
now covers a wide range of topics, making it difficult to
skim read and extract information from. Currently, it covers
these topics and maybe a couple more:

- Requirements (hardware, tools, libs)
- Checking out the repo
- Basic build instructions
- A comprehensive list of build flags
- FIP packaging
- Building specifically for Juno
- Firmware update images
- EL3 payloads
- Preloaded BL33 boot flow
- Running on FVPs
- Running on Juno

I have separated these out into a few groups that become new
documents. Broadly speaking, build instructions for the tools,
for TF-A generally, and for specific scenarios are separated.
Content relating to specific platforms (Juno and the FVPs are
Arm-specific platforms, essentially) has been moved into the
documentation that is specific to those platforms, under
docs/plat/arm.

Alternative Boot Flows
======================
EL3 payloads alternative boot flow
----------------------------------
On a pre-production system, the ability to execute arbitrary, bare-metal code at
the highest exception level is required. 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.
.. _alt_boot_flows_el3_payload:
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.
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:
.. code:: shell
make PRELOADED_BL33_BASE=0x80000000 PLAT=fvp all fip

Building FIP images with support for Trusted Board Boot
=======================================================
Trusted Board Boot primarily consists of the following two features:
- Image Authentication, described in :ref:`Trusted Board Boot`, and
- Firmware Update, described in :ref:`Firmware Update (FWU)`
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. See the :ref:`Prerequisites` document for the appropriate
version of mbed TLS to use.
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:
.. code:: shell
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 :ref:`Firmware Update (FWU)` 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.

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.
.. _build_options_common:
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
:ref:`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 :ref:`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.
- ``BRANCH_PROTECTION``: Numeric value to enable ARMv8.3 Pointer Authentication
and ARMv8.5 Branch Target Identification support for TF-A BL images themselves.
If enabled, it is needed to use a compiler that supports the option
``-mbranch-protection``. Selects the branch protection features to use:
- 0: Default value turns off all types of branch protection
- 1: Enables all types of branch protection features
- 2: Return address signing to its standard level
- 3: Extend the signing to include leaf functions
The table below summarizes ``BRANCH_PROTECTION`` values, GCC compilation options
and resulting PAuth/BTI features.
+-------+--------------+-------+-----+
| Value | GCC option | PAuth | BTI |
+=======+==============+=======+=====+
| 0 | none | N | N |
+-------+--------------+-------+-----+
| 1 | standard | Y | Y |
+-------+--------------+-------+-----+
| 2 | pac-ret | Y | N |
+-------+--------------+-------+-----+
| 3 | pac-ret+leaf | Y | N |
+-------+--------------+-------+-----+
This option defaults to 0 and this is an experimental feature.
Note that Pointer Authentication is enabled for Non-secure world
irrespective of the value of this option if the CPU supports it.
- ``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, enables
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 world switch. Default value is 0 and this is an experimental feature.
Note that Pointer Authentication is enabled for Non-secure world irrespective
of the value of this flag if the CPU supports it.
- ``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.
- ``E``: Boolean option to make warnings into errors. Default is 1.
- ``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_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 :ref:`Secure Partition Manager` 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
:ref:`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 :ref:`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.
.. warning::
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
:ref:`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 :ref:`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 :ref:`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.
- ``W``: Warning level. Some compiler warning options of interest have been
regrouped and put in the root Makefile. This flag can take the values 0 to 3,
each level enabling more warning options. Default is 0.
- ``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.
Debugging options
-----------------
To compile a debug version and make the build more verbose use
.. code:: shell
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``.
.. warning::
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 :ref:`Firmware Design`).
Extra debug options can be passed to the build system by setting ``CFLAGS`` or
``LDFLAGS``:
.. code:: shell
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 :ref:`build_options_common`
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

Performing an Initial Build
===========================
- Before building TF-A, the environment variable ``CROSS_COMPILE`` must point
to the Linaro cross compiler.
For AArch64:
.. code:: shell
export CROSS_COMPILE=<path-to-aarch64-gcc>/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-
For AArch32:
.. code:: shell
export CROSS_COMPILE=<path-to-aarch32-gcc>/bin/arm-eabi-
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:
.. code:: shell
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:
.. code:: shell
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:
.. code:: shell
make PLAT=<platform> all
For AArch32:
.. code:: shell
make PLAT=<platform> ARCH=aarch32 AARCH32_SP=sp_min all
Notes:
- If ``PLAT`` is not specified, ``fvp`` is assumed by default. See the
:ref:`Build Options` document 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
at :ref:`PSCI Library Integration guide for Armv8-A AArch32 systems`.
- (AArch64 only) The TSP (Test Secure Payload), corresponding to the BL32
image, is not compiled in by default. Refer to the
:ref:`Test Secure Payload (TSP) and Dispatcher (TSPD)` document for
details on building the TSP.
- 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:
.. code:: shell
make DEBUG=<D> PLAT=<platform> clean
... where ``<D>`` is ``0`` or ``1``, as specified when building.
The build tree can be removed completely using:
.. code:: shell
make realclean

Prerequisites
=============
This document describes the software requirements for building |TF-A| for
AArch32 and AArch64 target platforms.
It may possible to build |TF-A| with combinations of software packages that are
different from those listed below, however only the software described in this
document can be officially supported.
Build Host
----------
|TF-A| can be built using either a Linux or a Windows machine as the build host.
A relatively recent Linux distribution is recommended for building |TF-A|. We
have performed tests using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (64-bit) but other distributions
should also work fine as a base, provided that the necessary tools and libraries
can be installed.
.. _prerequisites_toolchain:
Toolchain
---------
|TF-A| can be built with any of the following *cross-compiler* toolchains that
target the Armv7-A or Armv8-A architectures:
- GCC >= 8.3-2019.03 (from the `Arm Developer website`_)
- Clang >= 4.0
- Arm Compiler >= 6.0
In addition, a native compiler is required to build the supporting tools.
.. note::
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.
.. note::
For instructions on how to select the cross compiler refer to
:ref:`Performing an Initial Build`.
.. _prerequisites_software_and_libraries:
Software and Libraries
----------------------
The following tools are required to obtain and build |TF-A|:
- An appropriate toolchain (see :ref:`prerequisites_toolchain`)
- GNU Make
- Git
The following libraries must be available to build one or more components or
supporting tools:
- OpenSSL >= 1.0.1
Required to build the cert_create tool.
The following libraries are required for Trusted Board Boot support:
- mbed TLS == 2.16.2 (tag: ``mbedtls-2.16.2``)
These tools are optional:
- Device Tree Compiler (DTC) >= 1.4.6
Needed if you want to rebuild the provided Flattened Device Tree (FDT)
source files (``.dts`` files). DTC is available for Linux through the package
repositories of most distributions.
- Arm `Development Studio 5 (DS-5)`_
The standard software package used for debugging software on Arm development
platforms and |FVP| models.
Package Installation (Linux)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you are using the recommended Ubuntu distribution then you can install the
required packages with the following command:
.. code:: shell
sudo apt install build-essential git libssl-dev
The optional packages can be installed using:
.. code:: shell
sudo apt install device-tree-compiler
Supporting Files
----------------
TF-A has been tested with pre-built binaries and file systems from `Linaro
Release 19.06`_. Alternatively, you can build the binaries from source using
instructions in :ref:`Performing an Initial Build`.
.. _prerequisites_get_source:
Getting the TF-A Source
-----------------------
Source code for |TF-A| is maintained in a Git repository hosted on
TrustedFirmware.org. To clone this repository from the server, run the following
in your shell:
.. code:: shell
git clone "https://review.trustedfirmware.org/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a" && (cd "trusted-firmware-a" && mkdir -p .git/hooks && curl -Lo `git rev-parse --git-dir`/hooks/commit-msg https://review.trustedfirmware.org/tools/hooks/commit-msg; chmod +x `git rev-parse --git-dir`/hooks/commit-msg)
This will clone the Git repository also install a *commit hook* that
automatically inserts appropriate *Change-Id:* lines at the end of your

Building Supporting Tools
=========================
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:
.. code:: shell
make PLAT=fvp BL33=<path-to>/bl33.bin fip
For AArch32:
.. code:: shell
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:
.. code:: shell
make -C tools/fiptool clean
Build the tool:
.. code:: shell
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:
.. code:: shell
./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:
.. code:: shell
./tools/fiptool/fiptool info <path-to>/fip.bin
Example 3: update the entries of an existing Firmware package:
.. code:: shell
# 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:
.. code:: shell
# 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:
.. code:: shell
./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 :ref:`Firmware Design` document.
.. _tools_build_cert_create:
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:
.. code:: shell
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.
.. code:: shell
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:
.. code:: shell
./tools/cert_create/cert_create -h

Test Secure Payload (TSP) and Dispatcher (TSPD)
===============================================
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
:ref:`firmware_design_sel1_spd` section in the :ref:`Firmware Design`.
First clean the TF-A build directory to get rid of any previous BL31 binary.
Then to build the TSP image use:
.. code:: shell
make PLAT=<platform> SPD=tspd all
An additional boot loader binary file is created in the ``build`` directory:

Arm Development Platform Build Options
======================================
Arm Platform 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 :ref:`Firmware Design`.
.. _build_options_arm_css_platform:
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.

documentation for a detailed description of the model parameter options.
The latest version of the AArch64 build of TF-A has been tested on the following
Arm FVPs without shifted affinities, and that do not support threaded CPU cores
(64-bit host machine only).
.. note::
The FVP models used are Version 11.6 Build 45, unless otherwise stated.
- ``FVP_Base_AEMv8A-AEMv8A``

- ``FVP_Base_Cortex-A77x4`` (Version 11.7 build 36)
- ``FVP_Base_Neoverse-N1x4``
- ``FVP_Base_Zeusx4``
- ``FVP_CSS_SGI-575`` (Version 11.3 build 42)
- ``FVP_CSS_SGM-775`` (Version 11.3 build 42)
- ``FVP_RD_E1Edge`` (Version 11.3 build 42)
- ``FVP_RD_N1Edge``
- ``Foundation_Platform``
The latest version of the AArch32 build of TF-A has been tested on the
following Arm FVPs without shifted affinities, and that do not support threaded
CPU cores (64-bit host machine only).
- ``FVP_Base_AEMv8A-AEMv8A``
- ``FVP_Base_Cortex-A32x4``
.. note::
The ``FVP_Base_RevC-2xAEMv8A`` FVP only supports shifted affinities, which
is not compatible with legacy GIC configurations. Therefore this FVP does not
support these legacy GIC configurations.
The *Foundation* and *Base* FVPs can be downloaded free of charge. See the `Arm
FVP website`_. The Cortex-A models listed above are also available to download
from `Arm's website`_.
.. note::
The build numbers quoted above are those reported by launching the FVP
with the ``--version`` parameter.
.. note::
Linaro provides a ramdisk image in prebuilt FVP configurations and full
file systems that can be downloaded separately. To run an FVP with a virtio
file system image an additional FVP configuration option
``-C bp.virtioblockdevice.image_path="<path-to>/<file-system-image>`` can be
used.
.. note::
The software will not work on Version 1.0 of the Foundation FVP.
The commands below would report an ``unhandled argument`` error in this case.
.. note::
FVPs can be launched with ``--cadi-server`` option such that a
CADI-compliant debugger (for example, Arm DS-5) can connect to and control
its execution.
.. warning::
Since FVP model Version 11.0 Build 11.0.34 and Version 8.5 Build 0.8.5202
the internal synchronisation timings changed compared to older versions of
the models. The models can be launched with ``-Q 100`` option if they are
required to match the run time characteristics of the older versions.
All the above platforms have been tested with `Linaro Release 19.06`_.
.. _build_options_arm_fvp_platform:
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 :ref:`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 :ref:`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.
Booting Firmware Update images
------------------------------
When Firmware Update (FWU) is enabled there are at least 2 new images
that have to be loaded, the Non-Secure FWU ROM (NS-BL1U), and the
FWU FIP.
The additional fip images must be loaded with:
::
--data cluster0.cpu0="<path_to>/ns_bl1u.bin"@0x0beb8000 [ns_bl1u_base_address]
--data cluster0.cpu0="<path_to>/fwu_fip.bin"@0x08400000 [ns_bl2u_base_address]
The address ns_bl1u_base_address is the value of NS_BL1U_BASE.
In the same way, the address ns_bl2u_base_address is the value of
NS_BL2U_BASE.
Booting an EL3 payload
----------------------
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:
.. code:: shell
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 a preloaded kernel image (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:
.. code:: shell
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``. Note that this
script assumes that the user is using a ramdisk image prepared for U-Boot, like
the ones provided by Linaro. If using a ramdisk without this header,the ``0x40``
offset in ``INITRD_START`` has to be removed.
.. code:: bash
#!/bin/bash
# Path to the input DTB
KERNEL_DTB=<path-to>/<fdt>
# Path to the output DTB
PATCHED_KERNEL_DTB=<path-to>/<patched-fdt>
# Base address of the ramdisk
INITRD_BASE=0x84000000
# Path to the ramdisk
INITRD=<path-to>/<ramdisk.img>
# Skip uboot header (64 bytes)
INITRD_START=$(printf "0x%x" $((${INITRD_BASE} + 0x40)) )
INITRD_SIZE=$(stat -Lc %s ${INITRD})
INITRD_END=$(printf "0x%x" $((${INITRD_BASE} + ${INITRD_SIZE})) )
CHOSEN_NODE=$(echo \
"/ { \
chosen { \
linux,initrd-start = <${INITRD_START}>; \
linux,initrd-end = <${INITRD_END}>; \
}; \
};")
echo $(dtc -O dts -I dtb ${KERNEL_DTB}) ${CHOSEN_NODE} | \
dtc -O dtb -o ${PATCHED_KERNEL_DTB} -
And the FVP binary can be run with the following command:
.. code:: shell
<path-to>/FVP_Base_AEMv8A-AEMv8A \
-C pctl.startup=0.0.0.0 \
-C bp.secure_memory=1 \
-C cluster0.NUM_CORES=4 \

-C cluster1.cpu1.RVBAR=0x04020000 \
-C cluster1.cpu2.RVBAR=0x04020000 \
-C cluster1.cpu3.RVBAR=0x04020000 \
--data cluster0.cpu0="<path-to>/bl31.bin"@0x04020000 \

--data cluster0.cpu0="<path-to>/<ramdisk.img>"@0x84000000
Obtaining the Flattened Device Trees
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Depending on the FVP configuration and Linux configuration used, different
FDT files are required. FDT source files for the Foundation and Base FVPs can
be found in the TF-A source directory under ``fdts/``. The Foundation FVP has
a subset of the Base FVP components. For example, the Foundation FVP lacks
CLCD and MMC support, and has only one CPU cluster.
.. note::
It is not recommended to use the FDTs built along the kernel because not
all FDTs are available from there.
The dynamic configuration capability is enabled in the firmware for FVPs.
This means that the firmware can authenticate and load the FDT if present in
FIP. A default FDT is packaged into FIP during the build based on
the build configuration. This can be overridden by using the ``FVP_HW_CONFIG``
or ``FVP_HW_CONFIG_DTS`` build options (refer to
:ref:`build_options_arm_fvp_platform` for details on the options).
- ``fvp-base-gicv2-psci.dts``
For use with models such as the Cortex-A57-A53 Base FVPs without shifted
affinities and with Base memory map configuration.
- ``fvp-base-gicv2-psci-aarch32.dts``
For use with models such as the Cortex-A32 Base FVPs without shifted
affinities and running Linux in AArch32 state with Base memory map
configuration.
- ``fvp-base-gicv3-psci.dts``
For use with models such as the Cortex-A57-A53 Base FVPs without shifted
affinities and with Base memory map configuration and Linux GICv3 support.
- ``fvp-base-gicv3-psci-1t.dts``
For use with models such as the AEMv8-RevC Base FVP with shifted affinities,
single threaded CPUs, Base memory map configuration and Linux GICv3 support.
- ``fvp-base-gicv3-psci-dynamiq.dts``
For use with models as the Cortex-A55-A75 Base FVPs with shifted affinities,
single cluster, single threaded CPUs, Base memory map configuration and Linux
GICv3 support.

Running on the Foundation FVP with reset to BL1 entrypoint
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The following ``Foundation_Platform`` parameters should be used to boot Linux with
4 CPUs using the AArch64 build of TF-A.
.. code:: shell
<path-to>/Foundation_Platform \
--cores=4 \
--arm-v8.0 \
--secure-memory \
--visualization \
--gicv3 \

--data="<path-to>/<FIP-binary>"@0x08000000 \
--data="<path-to>/<kernel-binary>"@0x80080000 \
--data="<path-to>/<ramdisk-binary>"@0x84000000
Notes:
- BL1 is loaded at the start of the Trusted ROM.
- The Firmware Image Package is loaded at the start of NOR FLASH0.
- The firmware loads the FDT packaged in FIP to the DRAM. The FDT load address
is specified via the ``hw_config_addr`` property in `TB_FW_CONFIG for FVP`_.
- The default use-case for the Foundation FVP is to use the ``--gicv3`` option
and enable the GICv3 device in the model. Note that without this option,
the Foundation FVP defaults to legacy (Versatile Express) memory map which
is not supported by TF-A.
- In order for TF-A to run correctly on the Foundation FVP, the architecture
versions must match. The Foundation FVP defaults to the highest v8.x
version it supports but the default build for TF-A is for v8.0. To avoid
issues either start the Foundation FVP to use v8.0 architecture using the
``--arm-v8.0`` option, or build TF-A with an appropriate value for
``ARM_ARCH_MINOR``.

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

Arm Juno Development Platform
=============================
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.
Running software on Juno
------------------------
This version of TF-A has been tested on variants r0, r1 and r2 of Juno.
To execute the software stack on Juno, the version of the Juno board recovery
image indicated in the `Linaro Release Notes`_ must be installed. If you have an
earlier version installed or are unsure which version is installed, please
re-install the recovery image by following the
`Instructions for using Linaro's deliverables on Juno`_.
Preparing TF-A images
---------------------
After building TF-A, the files ``bl1.bin`` and ``fip.bin`` need copying to the
``SOFTWARE/`` directory of the Juno SD card.
Creating a Firmware Image Package (FIP)
---------------------------------------
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.
.. warning::
Follow the full instructions for one platform before switching to a
different one. Mixing instructions for different platforms may result in
corrupted binaries.
.. warning::
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.
#. Clean the working directory
.. code:: shell
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:
.. code:: shell
# Build the fiptool
make [DEBUG=1] [V=1] fiptool
# Unpack firmware images from Linaro FIP
./tools/fiptool/fiptool unpack <path-to-linaro-release>/[SOFTWARE]/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. If that is the case, either delete those
files or use the ``--force`` option to overwrite.
.. note::
For AArch32, the instructions below assume that nt-fw.bin is a
normal world boot loader that supports AArch32.
#. Build TF-A images and create a new FIP for FVP
.. code:: shell
# AArch64
make PLAT=fvp BL33=nt-fw.bin all fip
# AArch32
make PLAT=fvp ARCH=aarch32 AARCH32_SP=sp_min BL33=nt-fw.bin all fip
#. Build TF-A images and create a new FIP for Juno
For AArch64:
Building for AArch64 on Juno simply requires the addition of ``SCP_BL2``
as a build parameter.
.. code:: shell
make PLAT=juno BL33=nt-fw.bin SCP_BL2=scp-fw.bin all fip
For AArch32:
Hardware restrictions on Juno prevent cold reset into AArch32 execution mode,
therefore BL1 and BL2 must be compiled for AArch64, and BL32 is compiled
separately for AArch32.
- Before building BL32, the environment variable ``CROSS_COMPILE`` must point
to the AArch32 Linaro cross compiler.
.. code:: shell
export CROSS_COMPILE=<path-to-aarch32-gcc>/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-
- Build BL32 in AArch32.
.. code:: shell
make ARCH=aarch32 PLAT=juno AARCH32_SP=sp_min \
RESET_TO_SP_MIN=1 JUNO_AARCH32_EL3_RUNTIME=1 bl32
- Save ``bl32.bin`` to a temporary location and clean the build products.
::
cp <path-to-build>/bl32.bin <path-to-temporary>
make realclean
- Before building BL1 and BL2, the environment variable ``CROSS_COMPILE``
must point to the AArch64 Linaro cross compiler.
.. code:: shell
export CROSS_COMPILE=<path-to-aarch64-gcc>/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-
- The following parameters should be used to build BL1 and BL2 in AArch64
and point to the BL32 file.
.. code:: shell
make ARCH=aarch64 PLAT=juno JUNO_AARCH32_EL3_RUNTIME=1 \
BL33=nt-fw.bin SCP_BL2=scp-fw.bin \
BL32=<path-to-temporary>/bl32.bin all fip
The resulting BL1 and FIP images may be found in:
::
# Juno
./build/juno/release/bl1.bin
./build/juno/release/fip.bin
# FVP
./build/fvp/release/bl1.bin
./build/fvp/release/fip.bin
Booting Firmware Update images
------------------------------
The new images must 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. User should ensure these do not
overlap with any other entries in the file.
::
NOR10UPDATE: AUTO ;Image Update:NONE/AUTO/FORCE
NOR10ADDRESS: 0x00400000 ;Image Flash Address [ns_bl2u_base_address]
NOR10FILE: \SOFTWARE\fwu_fip.bin ;Image File Name
NOR10LOAD: 00000000 ;Image Load Address
NOR10ENTRY: 00000000 ;Image Entry Point
NOR11UPDATE: AUTO ;Image Update:NONE/AUTO/FORCE
NOR11ADDRESS: 0x03EB8000 ;Image Flash Address [ns_bl1u_base_address]
NOR11FILE: \SOFTWARE\ns_bl1u.bin ;Image File Name
NOR11LOAD: 00000000 ;Image Load Address
The address ns_bl1u_base_address is the value of NS_BL1U_BASE - 0x8000000.
In the same way, the address ns_bl2u_base_address is the value of
NS_BL2U_BASE - 0x8000000.
.. _plat_juno_booting_el3_payload:
Booting an EL3 payload
----------------------
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.
For more information on EL3 payloads in general, see
:ref:`alt_boot_flows_el3_payload`.
Booting a preloaded kernel image
--------------------------------
The Trusted Firmware must be compiled in a similar way as for FVP explained
above. The process to load binaries to memory is the one explained in
`plat_juno_booting_el3_payload`_.
Testing System Suspend
----------------------
The SYSTEM SUSPEND is a PSCI API which can be used to implement system suspend
to RAM. For more details refer to section 5.16 of `PSCI`_. To test system suspend
on Juno, at the linux shell prompt, issue the following command:
.. code:: shell
echo +10 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm
echo -n mem > /sys/power/state
The Juno board should suspend to RAM and then wakeup after 10 seconds due to
wakeup interrupt from RTC.
Additional Resources
--------------------
Please visit the `Arm Platforms Portal`_ to get support and obtain any other Juno
software information. Please also refer to the `Juno Getting Started Guide`_ to
get more detailed information about the Juno Arm development platform and how to
configure it.
