The Arm FVP documentation has grown organically over the years. As a
result, it has become a big document, which can be difficult to digest.
Also, the organization of some of the sections does not make sense. In
particular, all "Running on the ... FVP" sections live under a section
named "Booting a preloaded kernel image (Base FVP)". To illustrate this,
here is the current table of contents:
Arm Fixed Virtual Platforms (FVP)
Fixed Virtual Platform (FVP) Support
Arm FVP Platform Specific Build Options
Booting Firmware Update images
Booting an EL3 payload
Booting a preloaded kernel image (Base FVP)
Obtaining the Flattened Device Treesp
Running on the Foundation FVP with reset to BL1 entrypoint
Running on the AEMv8 Base FVP with reset to BL1 entrypoint
Running on the AEMv8 Base FVP (AArch32) with reset to BL1 entrypoint
Running on the Cortex-A57-A53 Base FVP with reset to BL1 entrypoint
Running on the Cortex-A32 Base FVP (AArch32) with reset to BL1 entrypoint
Running on the AEMv8 Base FVP with reset to BL31 entrypoint
Running on the AEMv8 Base FVP (AArch32) with reset to SP_MIN entrypoint
Running on the Cortex-A57-A53 Base FVP with reset to BL31 entrypoint
Running on the Cortex-A32 Base FVP (AArch32) with reset to SP_MIN entrypoint
This patch breaks down this document in sub-documents, which are now
included from the index file. The table of contents (ToC) reflects the
new documents hierarchy. The depth of the ToC has been reduced to
simplify the index page. Here is what it looks like now:
Arm Fixed Virtual Platforms (FVP)
Fixed Virtual Platform (FVP) Support
Arm FVP Platform Specific Build Options
Running on the Foundation FVP
Running on the AEMv8 Base FVP
Running on the Cortex-A57-A53 Base FVP
Running on the Cortex-A32 Base FVP (AArch32)
Booting Firmware Update images
Booting an EL3 payload
Booting a preloaded kernel image (Base FVP)
Apart from moving information around in separate files, this patch also
makes the following minor changes to the contents:
- Add a brief introduction about FVPs in the index page.
- Change some of the titles names for conciseness.

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
|
|

|
|
(64-bit host machine only).
|
|
|
|

|
|
The FVP models used are Version 11.22 Build 14, unless otherwise stated.

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-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 20.01`_.
