Runtime Instrumentation Testing - N1SDP
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
For this test we used the N1 System Development Platform (`N1SDP`_), which
|
|
contains an SoC consisting of two dual-core Arm N1 clusters.
|
|
|
|
The following source trees and binaries were used:
|
|
|
|
- TF-A [`v2.9-rc0-16-g666aec401`_]
|
|
- TFTF [`v2.9-rc0`_]
|
|
- SCP/MCP `Prebuilt Images`_
|
|
|
|
Please see the Runtime Instrumentation :ref:`Testing Methodology
|
|
<Runtime Instrumentation Methodology>` page for more details.
|
|
|
|
Procedure
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
#. Build TFTF with runtime instrumentation enabled:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: shell
|
|
|
|
make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf- PLAT=n1sdp \
|
|
TESTS=runtime-instrumentation all
|
|
|
|
#. Build TF-A with the following build options:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: shell
|
|
|
|
make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf- PLAT=n1sdp \
|
|
ENABLE_RUNTIME_INSTRUMENTATION=1 fiptool all
|
|
|
|
#. Fetch the SCP firmware images:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: shell
|
|
|
|
curl --fail --connect-timeout 5 --retry 5 \
|
|
-sLS -o build/n1sdp/release/scp_rom.bin \
|
|
https://downloads.trustedfirmware.org/tf-a/css_scp_2.12.0/n1sdp/release/n1sdp-bl1.bin
|
|
curl --fail --connect-timeout 5 \
|
|
--retry 5 -sLS -o build/n1sdp/release/scp_ram.bin \
|
|
https://downloads.trustedfirmware.org/tf-a/css_scp_2.12.0/n1sdp/release/n1sdp-bl2.bin
|
|
|
|
#. Fetch the MCP firmware images:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: shell
|
|
|
|
curl --fail --connect-timeout 5 --retry 5 \
|
|
-sLS -o build/n1sdp/release/mcp_rom.bin \
|
|
https://downloads.trustedfirmware.org/tf-a/css_scp_2.12.0/n1sdp/release/n1sdp-mcp-bl1.bin
|
|
curl --fail --connect-timeout 5 --retry 5 \
|
|
-sLS -o build/n1sdp/release/mcp_ram.bin \
|
|
https://downloads.trustedfirmware.org/tf-a/css_scp_2.12.0/n1sdp/release/n1sdp-mcp-bl2.bin
|
|
|
|
#. Using the fiptool, create a new FIP package and append the SCP ram image onto
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
.. code:: shell
|
|
|
|
./tools/fiptool/fiptool create --blob \
|
|
uuid=cfacc2c4-15e8-4668-82be-430a38fad705,file=build/n1sdp/release/bl1.bin \
|
|
--scp-fw build/n1sdp/release/scp_ram.bin build/n1sdp/release/scp_fw.bin
|
|
|
|
#. Append the MCP image to the FIP.
|
|
|
|
.. code:: shell
|
|
|
|
./tools/fiptool/fiptool create \
|
|
--blob uuid=54464222-a4cf-4bf8-b1b6-cee7dade539e,file=build/n1sdp/release/mcp_ram.bin \
|
|
build/n1sdp/release/mcp_fw.bin
|
|
|
|
#. Then, add TFTF as the Non-Secure workload in the FIP image:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: shell
|
|
|
|
make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf- PLAT=n1sdp \
|
|
ENABLE_RUNTIME_INSTRUMENTATION=1 SCP_BL2=/dev/null \
|
|
BL33=<path/to/tftf.bin> fip
|
|
|
|
#. Load the following images onto the development board: ``fip.bin``,
|
|
``scp_rom.bin``, ``scp_ram.bin``, ``mcp_rom.bin``, and ``mcp_ram.bin``.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
These instructions presume you have a complete firmware stack. The N1SDP
|
|
`user guide`_ provides a detailed explanation on how to get setup from
|
|
scratch.
