Fixed Virtual Platform (FVP) Support
------------------------------------
This section lists the supported Arm |FVP| platforms. Please refer to the FVP
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 11.28 Build 23.
- ``FVP_Base_AEMvA-AEMvA``
- ``FVP_Base_RevC-2xAEMvA``
- ``FVP_Base_Cortex-A32``
- ``FVP_Base_Cortex-A35``
- ``FVP_Base_Cortex-A53``
- ``FVP_Base_Cortex-A55``
- ``FVP_Base_Cortex-A57x1-A53x1``
- ``FVP_Base_Cortex-A57x2-A53x4``
- ``FVP_Base_Cortex-A57``
- ``FVP_Base_Cortex-A57x4-A53x4``
- ``FVP_Base_Cortex-A65``
- ``FVP_Base_Cortex-A65AE``
- ``FVP_Base_Cortex-A72``
- ``FVP_Base_Cortex-A73``
- ``FVP_Base_Cortex-A73x4-A53x4``
- ``FVP_Base_Cortex-A75``
- ``FVP_Base_Cortex-A76``
- ``FVP_Base_Cortex-A76AE``
- ``FVP_Base_Cortex-A77``
- ``FVP_Base_Cortex-A78``
- ``FVP_Base_Cortex-A78AE``
- ``FVP_Base_Cortex-A78C``
- ``FVP_Base_Cortex-A710``
- ``FVP_Base_Cortex-X2``
- ``FVP_Base_Cortex-X4``
- ``FVP_Base_Cortex-X925``
- ``FVP_Base_Neoverse-E1``
- ``FVP_Base_Neoverse-N1``
- ``FVP_Base_Neoverse-N2``
- ``FVP_Base_Neoverse-V1``
- ``FVP_BaseR_AEMv8R``
- ``FVP_RD_1_AE``
- ``FVP_TC4``
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_AEMvA``
- ``FVP_Base_AEMvA-AEMvA``
- ``FVP_Base_Cortex-A32``
.. 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 20.01`_.
