1 ARM Trusted Firmware User Guide
2 ===============================
10 This document describes how to build ARM Trusted Firmware (TF) and run it with a
11 tested set of other software components using defined configurations on the Juno
12 ARM development platform and ARM Fixed Virtual Platform (FVP) models. It is
13 possible to use other software components, configurations and platforms but that
14 is outside the scope of this document.
16 This document assumes that the reader has previous experience running a fully
17 bootable Linux software stack on Juno or FVP using the prebuilt binaries and
18 filesystems provided by `Linaro`_. Further information may be found in the
19 `Linaro instructions`_. It also assumes that the user understands the role of
20 the different software components required to boot a Linux system:
22 - Specific firmware images required by the platform (e.g. SCP firmware on Juno)
23 - Normal world bootloader (e.g. UEFI or U-Boot)
28 This document also assumes that the user is familiar with the `FVP models`_ and
29 the different command line options available to launch the model.
31 This document should be used in conjunction with the `Firmware Design`_.
33 Host machine requirements
34 -------------------------
36 The minimum recommended machine specification for building the software and
37 running the FVP models is a dual-core processor running at 2GHz with 12GB of
38 RAM. For best performance, use a machine with a quad-core processor running at
39 2.6GHz with 16GB of RAM.
41 The software has been tested on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (64-bit). Packages used for
42 building the software were installed from that distribution unless otherwise
45 The software has also been built on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1, using CMD.EXE,
46 Cygwin, and Msys (MinGW) shells, using version 5.3.1 of the GNU toolchain.
51 Install the required packages to build Trusted Firmware with the following
56 sudo apt-get install build-essential gcc make git libssl-dev
58 ARM TF has been tested with `Linaro Release 17.04`_.
60 Download and install the AArch32 or AArch64 little-endian GCC cross compiler.
61 The `Linaro Release Notes`_ documents which version of the compiler to use for a
62 given Linaro Release. Also, these `Linaro instructions`_ provide further
63 guidance and a script, which can be used to download Linaro deliverables
66 Optionally, Trusted Firmware can be built using clang or ARM Compiler 6.
67 See instructions below on how to switch the default compiler.
69 In addition, the following optional packages and tools may be needed:
71 - ``device-tree-compiler`` package if you need to rebuild the Flattened Device
72 Tree (FDT) source files (``.dts`` files) provided with this software.
74 - For debugging, ARM `Development Studio 5 (DS-5)`_.
76 - To create and modify the diagram files included in the documentation, `Dia`_.
77 This tool can be found in most Linux distributions. Inkscape is needed to
78 generate the actual *.png files.
80 Getting the Trusted Firmware source code
81 ----------------------------------------
83 Download the Trusted Firmware source code from Github:
87 git clone https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware.git
89 Building the Trusted Firmware
90 -----------------------------
92 - Before building Trusted Firmware, the environment variable ``CROSS_COMPILE``
93 must point to the Linaro cross compiler.
99 export CROSS_COMPILE=<path-to-aarch64-gcc>/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-
105 export CROSS_COMPILE=<path-to-aarch32-gcc>/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-
107 It is possible to build Trusted Firmware using clang or ARM Compiler 6.
108 To do so ``CC`` needs to point to the clang or armclang binary. Only the
109 compiler is switched; the assembler and linker need to be provided by
110 the GNU toolchain, thus ``CROSS_COMPILE`` should be set as described above.
112 ARM Compiler 6 will be selected when the base name of the path assigned
113 to ``CC`` matches the string 'armclang'.
115 For AArch64 using ARM Compiler 6:
119 export CROSS_COMPILE=<path-to-aarch64-gcc>/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-
120 make CC=<path-to-armclang>/bin/armclang PLAT=<platform> all
122 Clang will be selected when the base name of the path assigned to ``CC``
123 contains the string 'clang'. This is to allow both clang and clang-X.Y
126 For AArch64 using clang:
130 export CROSS_COMPILE=<path-to-aarch64-gcc>/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-
131 make CC=<path-to-clang>/bin/clang PLAT=<platform> all
133 - Change to the root directory of the Trusted Firmware source tree and build.
139 make PLAT=<platform> all
145 make PLAT=<platform> ARCH=aarch32 AARCH32_SP=sp_min all
149 - If ``PLAT`` is not specified, ``fvp`` is assumed by default. See the
150 `Summary of build options`_ for more information on available build
153 - (AArch32 only) Currently only ``PLAT=fvp`` is supported.
155 - (AArch32 only) ``AARCH32_SP`` is the AArch32 EL3 Runtime Software and it
156 corresponds to the BL32 image. A minimal ``AARCH32_SP``, sp\_min, is
157 provided by ARM Trusted Firmware to demonstrate how PSCI Library can
158 be integrated with an AArch32 EL3 Runtime Software. Some AArch32 EL3
159 Runtime Software may include other runtime services, for example
160 Trusted OS services. A guide to integrate PSCI library with AArch32
161 EL3 Runtime Software can be found `here`_.
163 - (AArch64 only) The TSP (Test Secure Payload), corresponding to the BL32
164 image, is not compiled in by default. Refer to the
165 `Building the Test Secure Payload`_ section below.
167 - By default this produces a release version of the build. To produce a
168 debug version instead, refer to the "Debugging options" section below.
170 - The build process creates products in a ``build`` directory tree, building
171 the objects and binaries for each boot loader stage in separate
172 sub-directories. The following boot loader binary files are created
173 from the corresponding ELF files:
175 - ``build/<platform>/<build-type>/bl1.bin``
176 - ``build/<platform>/<build-type>/bl2.bin``
177 - ``build/<platform>/<build-type>/bl31.bin`` (AArch64 only)
178 - ``build/<platform>/<build-type>/bl32.bin`` (mandatory for AArch32)
180 where ``<platform>`` is the name of the chosen platform and ``<build-type>``
181 is either ``debug`` or ``release``. The actual number of images might differ
182 depending on the platform.
184 - Build products for a specific build variant can be removed using:
188 make DEBUG=<D> PLAT=<platform> clean
190 ... where ``<D>`` is ``0`` or ``1``, as specified when building.
192 The build tree can be removed completely using:
198 Summary of build options
199 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
201 ARM Trusted Firmware build system supports the following build options. Unless
202 mentioned otherwise, these options are expected to be specified at the build
203 command line and are not to be modified in any component makefiles. Note that
204 the build system doesn't track dependency for build options. Therefore, if any
205 of the build options are changed from a previous build, a clean build must be
211 - ``AARCH32_SP`` : Choose the AArch32 Secure Payload component to be built as
212 as the BL32 image when ``ARCH=aarch32``. The value should be the path to the
213 directory containing the SP source, relative to the ``bl32/``; the directory
214 is expected to contain a makefile called ``<aarch32_sp-value>.mk``.
216 - ``ARCH`` : Choose the target build architecture for ARM Trusted Firmware.
217 It can take either ``aarch64`` or ``aarch32`` as values. By default, it is
218 defined to ``aarch64``.
220 - ``ARM_ARCH_MAJOR``: The major version of ARM Architecture to target when
221 compiling ARM Trusted Firmware. Its value must be numeric, and defaults to
222 8 . See also, *ARMv8 Architecture Extensions* in `Firmware Design`_.
224 - ``ARM_ARCH_MINOR``: The minor version of ARM Architecture to target when
225 compiling ARM Trusted Firmware. Its value must be a numeric, and defaults
226 to 0. See also, *ARMv8 Architecture Extensions* in `Firmware Design`_.
228 - ``ARM_GIC_ARCH``: Choice of ARM GIC architecture version used by the ARM
229 Legacy GIC driver for implementing the platform GIC API. This API is used
230 by the interrupt management framework. Default is 2 (that is, version 2.0).
231 This build option is deprecated.
233 - ``ARM_PLAT_MT``: This flag determines whether the ARM platform layer has to
234 cater for the multi-threading ``MT`` bit when accessing MPIDR. When this flag
235 is set, the functions which deal with MPIDR assume that the ``MT`` bit in
236 MPIDR is set and access the bit-fields in MPIDR accordingly. Default value of
237 this flag is 0. Note that this option is not used on FVP platforms.
239 - ``BL2``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to BL2
240 image for the ``fip`` target. In this case, the BL2 in the ARM Trusted
241 Firmware will not be built.
243 - ``BL2U``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to
244 BL2U image. In this case, the BL2U in the ARM Trusted Firmware will not
247 - ``BL31``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to
248 BL31 image for the ``fip`` target. In this case, the BL31 in the ARM
249 Trusted Firmware will not be built.
251 - ``BL31_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies the
252 file that contains the BL31 private key in PEM format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``,
253 this file name will be used to save the key.
255 - ``BL32``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to
256 BL32 image for the ``fip`` target. In this case, the BL32 in the ARM
257 Trusted Firmware will not be built.
259 - ``BL32_EXTRA1``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to
260 Trusted OS Extra1 image for the ``fip`` target.
262 - ``BL32_EXTRA2``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to
263 Trusted OS Extra2 image for the ``fip`` target.
265 - ``BL32_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies the
266 file that contains the BL32 private key in PEM format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``,
267 this file name will be used to save the key.
269 - ``BL33``: Path to BL33 image in the host file system. This is mandatory for
270 ``fip`` target in case the BL2 from ARM Trusted Firmware is used.
272 - ``BL33_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies the
273 file that contains the BL33 private key in PEM format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``,
274 this file name will be used to save the key.
276 - ``BUILD_MESSAGE_TIMESTAMP``: String used to identify the time and date of the
277 compilation of each build. It must be set to a C string (including quotes
278 where applicable). Defaults to a string that contains the time and date of
281 - ``BUILD_STRING``: Input string for VERSION\_STRING, which allows the TF build
282 to be uniquely identified. Defaults to the current git commit id.
284 - ``CFLAGS``: Extra user options appended on the compiler's command line in
285 addition to the options set by the build system.
287 - ``COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU``: This option indicates whether the platform may
288 release several CPUs out of reset. It can take either 0 (several CPUs may be
289 brought up) or 1 (only one CPU will ever be brought up during cold reset).
290 Default is 0. If the platform always brings up a single CPU, there is no
291 need to distinguish between primary and secondary CPUs and the boot path can
292 be optimised. The ``plat_is_my_cpu_primary()`` and
293 ``plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup()`` platform porting interfaces do not need
294 to be implemented in this case.
296 - ``CRASH_REPORTING``: A non-zero value enables a console dump of processor
297 register state when an unexpected exception occurs during execution of
298 BL31. This option defaults to the value of ``DEBUG`` - i.e. by default
299 this is only enabled for a debug build of the firmware.
301 - ``CREATE_KEYS``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It tells the
302 certificate generation tool to create new keys in case no valid keys are
303 present or specified. Allowed options are '0' or '1'. Default is '1'.
305 - ``CTX_INCLUDE_AARCH32_REGS`` : Boolean option that, when set to 1, will cause
306 the AArch32 system registers to be included when saving and restoring the
307 CPU context. The option must be set to 0 for AArch64-only platforms (that
308 is on hardware that does not implement AArch32, or at least not at EL1 and
309 higher ELs). Default value is 1.
311 - ``CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS``: Boolean option that, when set to 1, will cause the FP
312 registers to be included when saving and restoring the CPU context. Default
315 - ``DEBUG``: Chooses between a debug and release build. It can take either 0
316 (release) or 1 (debug) as values. 0 is the default.
318 - ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE``: This option enables booting an EL3 payload instead of
319 the normal boot flow. It must specify the entry point address of the EL3
320 payload. Please refer to the "Booting an EL3 payload" section for more
323 - ``ENABLE_ASSERTIONS``: This option controls whether or not calls to ``assert()``
324 are compiled out. For debug builds, this option defaults to 1, and calls to
325 ``assert()`` are left in place. For release builds, this option defaults to 0
326 and calls to ``assert()`` function are compiled out. This option can be set
327 independently of ``DEBUG``. It can also be used to hide any auxiliary code
328 that is only required for the assertion and does not fit in the assertion
331 - ``ENABLE_PMF``: Boolean option to enable support for optional Performance
332 Measurement Framework(PMF). Default is 0.
334 - ``ENABLE_PSCI_STAT``: Boolean option to enable support for optional PSCI
335 functions ``PSCI_STAT_RESIDENCY`` and ``PSCI_STAT_COUNT``. Default is 0.
336 In the absence of an alternate stat collection backend, ``ENABLE_PMF`` must
337 be enabled. If ``ENABLE_PMF`` is set, the residency statistics are tracked in
340 - ``ENABLE_RUNTIME_INSTRUMENTATION``: Boolean option to enable runtime
341 instrumentation which injects timestamp collection points into
342 Trusted Firmware to allow runtime performance to be measured.
343 Currently, only PSCI is instrumented. Enabling this option enables
344 the ``ENABLE_PMF`` build option as well. Default is 0.
346 - ``ENABLE_SPE_FOR_LOWER_ELS`` : Boolean option to enable Statistical Profiling
347 extensions. This is an optional architectural feature available only for
348 AArch64 8.2 onwards. This option defaults to 1 but is automatically
349 disabled when the target architecture is AArch32 or AArch64 8.0/8.1.
351 - ``ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR``: String option to enable the stack protection
352 checks in GCC. Allowed values are "all", "strong" and "0" (default).
353 "strong" is the recommended stack protection level if this feature is
354 desired. 0 disables the stack protection. For all values other than 0, the
355 ``plat_get_stack_protector_canary()`` platform hook needs to be implemented.
356 The value is passed as the last component of the option
357 ``-fstack-protector-$ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR``.
359 - ``ERROR_DEPRECATED``: This option decides whether to treat the usage of
360 deprecated platform APIs, helper functions or drivers within Trusted
361 Firmware as error. It can take the value 1 (flag the use of deprecated
362 APIs as error) or 0. The default is 0.
364 - ``FIP_NAME``: This is an optional build option which specifies the FIP
365 filename for the ``fip`` target. Default is ``fip.bin``.
367 - ``FWU_FIP_NAME``: This is an optional build option which specifies the FWU
368 FIP filename for the ``fwu_fip`` target. Default is ``fwu_fip.bin``.
370 - ``GENERATE_COT``: Boolean flag used to build and execute the ``cert_create``
371 tool to create certificates as per the Chain of Trust described in
372 `Trusted Board Boot`_. The build system then calls ``fiptool`` to
373 include the certificates in the FIP and FWU\_FIP. Default value is '0'.
375 Specify both ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1`` and ``GENERATE_COT=1`` to include support
376 for the Trusted Board Boot feature in the BL1 and BL2 images, to generate
377 the corresponding certificates, and to include those certificates in the
380 Note that if ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=0`` and ``GENERATE_COT=1``, the BL1 and BL2
381 images will not include support for Trusted Board Boot. The FIP will still
382 include the corresponding certificates. This FIP can be used to verify the
383 Chain of Trust on the host machine through other mechanisms.
385 Note that if ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1`` and ``GENERATE_COT=0``, the BL1 and BL2
386 images will include support for Trusted Board Boot, but the FIP and FWU\_FIP
387 will not include the corresponding certificates, causing a boot failure.
389 - ``HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST``: When defined External Aborts and SError Interrupts
390 will be always trapped in EL3 i.e. in BL31 at runtime.
392 - ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY``: On most ARM systems to-date, platform-specific
393 software operations are required for CPUs to enter and exit coherency.
394 However, there exists newer systems where CPUs' entry to and exit from
395 coherency is managed in hardware. Such systems require software to only
396 initiate the operations, and the rest is managed in hardware, minimizing
397 active software management. In such systems, this boolean option enables ARM
398 Trusted Firmware to carry out build and run-time optimizations during boot
399 and power management operations. This option defaults to 0 and if it is
400 enabled, then it implies ``WARMBOOT_ENABLE_DCACHE_EARLY`` is also enabled.
402 - ``JUNO_AARCH32_EL3_RUNTIME``: This build flag enables you to execute EL3
403 runtime software in AArch32 mode, which is required to run AArch32 on Juno.
404 By default this flag is set to '0'. Enabling this flag builds BL1 and BL2 in
405 AArch64 and facilitates the loading of ``SP_MIN`` and BL33 as AArch32 executable
408 - ``LDFLAGS``: Extra user options appended to the linkers' command line in
409 addition to the one set by the build system.
411 - ``LOAD_IMAGE_V2``: Boolean option to enable support for new version (v2) of
412 image loading, which provides more flexibility and scalability around what
413 images are loaded and executed during boot. Default is 0.
414 Note: ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` is currently only supported for AArch64 when
415 ``LOAD_IMAGE_V2`` is enabled.
417 - ``LOG_LEVEL``: Chooses the log level, which controls the amount of console log
418 output compiled into the build. This should be one of the following:
423 10 (LOG_LEVEL_NOTICE)
425 30 (LOG_LEVEL_WARNING)
427 50 (LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE)
429 All log output up to and including the log level is compiled into the build.
430 The default value is 40 in debug builds and 20 in release builds.
432 - ``NON_TRUSTED_WORLD_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It
433 specifies the file that contains the Non-Trusted World private key in PEM
434 format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, this file name will be used to save the key.
436 - ``NS_BL2U``: Path to NS\_BL2U image in the host file system. This image is
437 optional. It is only needed if the platform makefile specifies that it
438 is required in order to build the ``fwu_fip`` target.
440 - ``NS_TIMER_SWITCH``: Enable save and restore for non-secure timer register
441 contents upon world switch. It can take either 0 (don't save and restore) or
442 1 (do save and restore). 0 is the default. An SPD may set this to 1 if it
443 wants the timer registers to be saved and restored.
445 - ``PL011_GENERIC_UART``: Boolean option to indicate the PL011 driver that
446 the underlying hardware is not a full PL011 UART but a minimally compliant
447 generic UART, which is a subset of the PL011. The driver will not access
448 any register that is not part of the SBSA generic UART specification.
449 Default value is 0 (a full PL011 compliant UART is present).
451 - ``PLAT``: Choose a platform to build ARM Trusted Firmware for. The chosen
452 platform name must be subdirectory of any depth under ``plat/``, and must
453 contain a platform makefile named ``platform.mk``. For example to build ARM
454 Trusted Firmware for ARM Juno board select PLAT=juno.
456 - ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE``: This option enables booting a preloaded BL33 image
457 instead of the normal boot flow. When defined, it must specify the entry
458 point address for the preloaded BL33 image. This option is incompatible with
459 ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE``. If both are defined, ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE`` has priority
460 over ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE``.
462 - ``PROGRAMMABLE_RESET_ADDRESS``: This option indicates whether the reset
463 vector address can be programmed or is fixed on the platform. It can take
464 either 0 (fixed) or 1 (programmable). Default is 0. If the platform has a
465 programmable reset address, it is expected that a CPU will start executing
466 code directly at the right address, both on a cold and warm reset. In this
467 case, there is no need to identify the entrypoint on boot and the boot path
468 can be optimised. The ``plat_get_my_entrypoint()`` platform porting interface
469 does not need to be implemented in this case.
471 - ``PSCI_EXTENDED_STATE_ID``: As per PSCI1.0 Specification, there are 2 formats
472 possible for the PSCI power-state parameter viz original and extended
473 State-ID formats. This flag if set to 1, configures the generic PSCI layer
474 to use the extended format. The default value of this flag is 0, which
475 means by default the original power-state format is used by the PSCI
476 implementation. This flag should be specified by the platform makefile
477 and it governs the return value of PSCI\_FEATURES API for CPU\_SUSPEND
478 smc function id. When this option is enabled on ARM platforms, the
479 option ``ARM_RECOM_STATE_ID_ENC`` needs to be set to 1 as well.
481 - ``RESET_TO_BL31``: Enable BL31 entrypoint as the CPU reset vector instead
482 of the BL1 entrypoint. It can take the value 0 (CPU reset to BL1
483 entrypoint) or 1 (CPU reset to BL31 entrypoint).
484 The default value is 0.
486 - ``RESET_TO_SP_MIN``: SP\_MIN is the minimal AArch32 Secure Payload provided in
487 ARM Trusted Firmware. This flag configures SP\_MIN entrypoint as the CPU
488 reset vector instead of the BL1 entrypoint. It can take the value 0 (CPU
489 reset to BL1 entrypoint) or 1 (CPU reset to SP\_MIN entrypoint). The default
492 - ``ROT_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies the
493 file that contains the ROT private key in PEM format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, this
494 file name will be used to save the key.
496 - ``SAVE_KEYS``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It tells the
497 certificate generation tool to save the keys used to establish the Chain of
498 Trust. Allowed options are '0' or '1'. Default is '0' (do not save).
500 - ``SCP_BL2``: Path to SCP\_BL2 image in the host file system. This image is optional.
501 If a SCP\_BL2 image is present then this option must be passed for the ``fip``
504 - ``SCP_BL2_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies the
505 file that contains the SCP\_BL2 private key in PEM format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``,
506 this file name will be used to save the key.
508 - ``SCP_BL2U``: Path to SCP\_BL2U image in the host file system. This image is
509 optional. It is only needed if the platform makefile specifies that it
510 is required in order to build the ``fwu_fip`` target.
512 - ``SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA``: Whether code and read-only data should be
513 isolated on separate memory pages. This is a trade-off between security and
514 memory usage. See "Isolating code and read-only data on separate memory
515 pages" section in `Firmware Design`_. This flag is disabled by default and
516 affects all BL images.
518 - ``SPD``: Choose a Secure Payload Dispatcher component to be built into the
519 Trusted Firmware. This build option is only valid if ``ARCH=aarch64``. The
520 value should be the path to the directory containing the SPD source,
521 relative to ``services/spd/``; the directory is expected to
522 contain a makefile called ``<spd-value>.mk``.
524 - ``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT``: This option introduces an infinite loop in BL1. It can
525 take either 0 (no loop) or 1 (add a loop). 0 is the default. This loop stops
526 execution in BL1 just before handing over to BL31. At this point, all
527 firmware images have been loaded in memory, and the MMU and caches are
528 turned off. Refer to the "Debugging options" section for more details.
530 - ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT``: Boolean flag to include support for the Trusted Board
531 Boot feature. When set to '1', BL1 and BL2 images include support to load
532 and verify the certificates and images in a FIP, and BL1 includes support
533 for the Firmware Update. The default value is '0'. Generation and inclusion
534 of certificates in the FIP and FWU\_FIP depends upon the value of the
535 ``GENERATE_COT`` option.
537 Note: This option depends on ``CREATE_KEYS`` to be enabled. If the keys
538 already exist in disk, they will be overwritten without further notice.
540 - ``TRUSTED_WORLD_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It
541 specifies the file that contains the Trusted World private key in PEM
542 format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, this file name will be used to save the key.
544 - ``TSP_INIT_ASYNC``: Choose BL32 initialization method as asynchronous or
545 synchronous, (see "Initializing a BL32 Image" section in
546 `Firmware Design`_). It can take the value 0 (BL32 is initialized using
547 synchronous method) or 1 (BL32 is initialized using asynchronous method).
550 - ``TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT``: A non zero value enables the interrupt
551 routing model which routes non-secure interrupts asynchronously from TSP
552 to EL3 causing immediate preemption of TSP. The EL3 is responsible
553 for saving and restoring the TSP context in this routing model. The
554 default routing model (when the value is 0) is to route non-secure
555 interrupts to TSP allowing it to save its context and hand over
556 synchronously to EL3 via an SMC.
558 - ``USE_COHERENT_MEM``: This flag determines whether to include the coherent
559 memory region in the BL memory map or not (see "Use of Coherent memory in
560 Trusted Firmware" section in `Firmware Design`_). It can take the value 1
561 (Coherent memory region is included) or 0 (Coherent memory region is
562 excluded). Default is 1.
564 - ``V``: Verbose build. If assigned anything other than 0, the build commands
565 are printed. Default is 0.
567 - ``VERSION_STRING``: String used in the log output for each TF image. Defaults
568 to a string formed by concatenating the version number, build type and build
571 - ``WARMBOOT_ENABLE_DCACHE_EARLY`` : Boolean option to enable D-cache early on
572 the CPU after warm boot. This is applicable for platforms which do not
573 require interconnect programming to enable cache coherency (eg: single
574 cluster platforms). If this option is enabled, then warm boot path
575 enables D-caches immediately after enabling MMU. This option defaults to 0.
577 ARM development platform specific build options
578 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
580 - ``ARM_BL31_IN_DRAM``: Boolean option to select loading of BL31 in TZC secured
581 DRAM. By default, BL31 is in the secure SRAM. Set this flag to 1 to load
582 BL31 in TZC secured DRAM. If TSP is present, then setting this option also
583 sets the TSP location to DRAM and ignores the ``ARM_TSP_RAM_LOCATION`` build
586 - ``ARM_BOARD_OPTIMISE_MEM``: Boolean option to enable or disable optimisation
587 of the memory reserved for each image. This affects the maximum size of each
588 BL image as well as the number of allocated memory regions and translation
589 tables. By default this flag is 0, which means it uses the default
590 unoptimised values for these macros. ARM development platforms that wish to
591 optimise memory usage need to set this flag to 1 and must override the
594 - ``ARM_CONFIG_CNTACR``: boolean option to unlock access to the ``CNTBase<N>``
595 frame registers by setting the ``CNTCTLBase.CNTACR<N>`` register bits. The
596 frame number ``<N>`` is defined by ``PLAT_ARM_NSTIMER_FRAME_ID``, which should
597 match the frame used by the Non-Secure image (normally the Linux kernel).
598 Default is true (access to the frame is allowed).
600 - ``ARM_DISABLE_TRUSTED_WDOG``: boolean option to disable the Trusted Watchdog.
601 By default, ARM platforms use a watchdog to trigger a system reset in case
602 an error is encountered during the boot process (for example, when an image
603 could not be loaded or authenticated). The watchdog is enabled in the early
604 platform setup hook at BL1 and disabled in the BL1 prepare exit hook. The
605 Trusted Watchdog may be disabled at build time for testing or development
608 - ``ARM_RECOM_STATE_ID_ENC``: The PSCI1.0 specification recommends an encoding
609 for the construction of composite state-ID in the power-state parameter.
610 The existing PSCI clients currently do not support this encoding of
611 State-ID yet. Hence this flag is used to configure whether to use the
612 recommended State-ID encoding or not. The default value of this flag is 0,
613 in which case the platform is configured to expect NULL in the State-ID
614 field of power-state parameter.
616 - ``ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION``: used when ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1``. It specifies the
617 location of the ROTPK hash returned by the function ``plat_get_rotpk_info()``
618 for ARM platforms. Depending on the selected option, the proper private key
619 must be specified using the ``ROT_KEY`` option when building the Trusted
620 Firmware. This private key will be used by the certificate generation tool
621 to sign the BL2 and Trusted Key certificates. Available options for
622 ``ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION`` are:
624 - ``regs`` : return the ROTPK hash stored in the Trusted root-key storage
625 registers. The private key corresponding to this ROTPK hash is not
627 - ``devel_rsa`` : return a development public key hash embedded in the BL1
628 and BL2 binaries. This hash has been obtained from the RSA public key
629 ``arm_rotpk_rsa.der``, located in ``plat/arm/board/common/rotpk``. To use
630 this option, ``arm_rotprivk_rsa.pem`` must be specified as ``ROT_KEY`` when
631 creating the certificates.
633 - ``ARM_TSP_RAM_LOCATION``: location of the TSP binary. Options:
635 - ``tsram`` : Trusted SRAM (default option)
636 - ``tdram`` : Trusted DRAM (if available)
637 - ``dram`` : Secure region in DRAM (configured by the TrustZone controller)
639 - ``ARM_XLAT_TABLES_LIB_V1``: boolean option to compile the Trusted Firmware
640 with version 1 of the translation tables library instead of version 2. It is
641 set to 0 by default, which selects version 2.
643 - ``ARM_CRYPTOCELL_INTEG`` : bool option to enable Trusted Firmware to invoke
644 ARM® TrustZone® CryptoCell functionality for Trusted Board Boot on capable
645 ARM platforms. If this option is specified, then the path to the CryptoCell
646 SBROM library must be specified via ``CCSBROM_LIB_PATH`` flag.
648 For a better understanding of these options, the ARM development platform memory
649 map is explained in the `Firmware Design`_.
651 ARM CSS platform specific build options
652 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
654 - ``CSS_DETECT_PRE_1_7_0_SCP``: Boolean flag to detect SCP version
655 incompatibility. Version 1.7.0 of the SCP firmware made a non-backwards
656 compatible change to the MTL protocol, used for AP/SCP communication.
657 Trusted Firmware no longer supports earlier SCP versions. If this option is
658 set to 1 then Trusted Firmware will detect if an earlier version is in use.
661 - ``CSS_LOAD_SCP_IMAGES``: Boolean flag, which when set, adds SCP\_BL2 and
662 SCP\_BL2U to the FIP and FWU\_FIP respectively, and enables them to be loaded
663 during boot. Default is 1.
665 - ``CSS_USE_SCMI_DRIVER``: Boolean flag which selects SCMI driver instead of
666 SCPI driver for communicating with the SCP during power management operations.
667 If this option is set to 1, then SCMI driver will be used. Default is 0.
669 ARM FVP platform specific build options
670 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
672 - ``FVP_CLUSTER_COUNT`` : Configures the cluster count to be used to
673 build the topology tree within Trusted Firmware. By default the
674 Trusted Firmware is configured for dual cluster topology and this option
675 can be used to override the default value.
677 - ``FVP_INTERCONNECT_DRIVER``: Selects the interconnect driver to be built. The
678 default interconnect driver depends on the value of ``FVP_CLUSTER_COUNT`` as
679 explained in the options below:
681 - ``FVP_CCI`` : The CCI driver is selected. This is the default
682 if 0 < ``FVP_CLUSTER_COUNT`` <= 2.
683 - ``FVP_CCN`` : The CCN driver is selected. This is the default
684 if ``FVP_CLUSTER_COUNT`` > 2.
686 - ``FVP_MAX_PE_PER_CPU``: Sets the maximum number of PEs implemented on any CPU
687 in the system. This option defaults to 1. Note that the build option
688 ``ARM_PLAT_MT`` doesn't have any effect on FVP platforms.
690 - ``FVP_USE_GIC_DRIVER`` : Selects the GIC driver to be built. Options:
692 - ``FVP_GIC600`` : The GIC600 implementation of GICv3 is selected
693 - ``FVP_GICV2`` : The GICv2 only driver is selected
694 - ``FVP_GICV3`` : The GICv3 only driver is selected (default option)
695 - ``FVP_GICV3_LEGACY``: The Legacy GICv3 driver is selected (deprecated)
696 Note: If Trusted Firmware is compiled with this option on FVPs with
697 GICv3 hardware, then it configures the hardware to run in GICv2
700 - ``FVP_USE_SP804_TIMER`` : Use the SP804 timer instead of the Generic Timer
701 for functions that wait for an arbitrary time length (udelay and mdelay).
702 The default value is 0.
707 To compile a debug version and make the build more verbose use
711 make PLAT=<platform> DEBUG=1 V=1 all
713 AArch64 GCC uses DWARF version 4 debugging symbols by default. Some tools (for
714 example DS-5) might not support this and may need an older version of DWARF
715 symbols to be emitted by GCC. This can be achieved by using the
716 ``-gdwarf-<version>`` flag, with the version being set to 2 or 3. Setting the
717 version to 2 is recommended for DS-5 versions older than 5.16.
719 When debugging logic problems it might also be useful to disable all compiler
720 optimizations by using ``-O0``.
722 NOTE: Using ``-O0`` could cause output images to be larger and base addresses
723 might need to be recalculated (see the **Memory layout on ARM development
724 platforms** section in the `Firmware Design`_).
726 Extra debug options can be passed to the build system by setting ``CFLAGS`` or
731 CFLAGS='-O0 -gdwarf-2' \
732 make PLAT=<platform> DEBUG=1 V=1 all
734 Note that using ``-Wl,`` style compilation driver options in ``CFLAGS`` will be
735 ignored as the linker is called directly.
737 It is also possible to introduce an infinite loop to help in debugging the
738 post-BL2 phase of the Trusted Firmware. This can be done by rebuilding BL1 with
739 the ``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT=1`` build flag. Refer to the `Summary of build options`_
740 section. In this case, the developer may take control of the target using a
741 debugger when indicated by the console output. When using DS-5, the following
742 commands can be used:
746 # Stop target execution
750 # Prepare your debugging environment, e.g. set breakpoints
753 # Jump over the debug loop
754 set var $AARCH64::$Core::$PC = $AARCH64::$Core::$PC + 4
759 Building the Test Secure Payload
760 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
762 The TSP is coupled with a companion runtime service in the BL31 firmware,
763 called the TSPD. Therefore, if you intend to use the TSP, the BL31 image
764 must be recompiled as well. For more information on SPs and SPDs, see the
765 `Secure-EL1 Payloads and Dispatchers`_ section in the `Firmware Design`_.
767 First clean the Trusted Firmware build directory to get rid of any previous
768 BL31 binary. Then to build the TSP image use:
772 make PLAT=<platform> SPD=tspd all
774 An additional boot loader binary file is created in the ``build`` directory:
778 build/<platform>/<build-type>/bl32.bin
780 Checking source code style
781 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
783 When making changes to the source for submission to the project, the source
784 must be in compliance with the Linux style guide, and to assist with this check
785 the project Makefile contains two targets, which both utilise the
786 ``checkpatch.pl`` script that ships with the Linux source tree.
788 To check the entire source tree, you must first download a copy of
789 ``checkpatch.pl`` (or the full Linux source), set the ``CHECKPATCH`` environment
790 variable to point to the script and build the target checkcodebase:
794 make CHECKPATCH=<path-to-linux>/linux/scripts/checkpatch.pl checkcodebase
796 To just check the style on the files that differ between your local branch and
797 the remote master, use:
801 make CHECKPATCH=<path-to-linux>/linux/scripts/checkpatch.pl checkpatch
803 If you wish to check your patch against something other than the remote master,
804 set the ``BASE_COMMIT`` variable to your desired branch. By default, ``BASE_COMMIT``
805 is set to ``origin/master``.
807 Building and using the FIP tool
808 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
810 Firmware Image Package (FIP) is a packaging format used by the Trusted Firmware
811 project to package firmware images in a single binary. The number and type of
812 images that should be packed in a FIP is platform specific and may include TF
813 images and other firmware images required by the platform. For example, most
814 platforms require a BL33 image which corresponds to the normal world bootloader
815 (e.g. UEFI or U-Boot).
817 The TF build system provides the make target ``fip`` to create a FIP file for the
818 specified platform using the FIP creation tool included in the TF project.
819 Examples below show how to build a FIP file for FVP, packaging TF images and a
826 make PLAT=fvp BL33=<path/to/bl33.bin> fip
832 make PLAT=fvp ARCH=aarch32 AARCH32_SP=sp_min BL33=<path/to/bl33.bin> fip
834 Note that AArch32 support for Normal world boot loader (BL33), like U-boot or
835 UEFI, on FVP is not available upstream. Hence custom solutions are required to
836 allow Linux boot on FVP. These instructions assume such a custom boot loader
839 The resulting FIP may be found in:
843 build/fvp/<build-type>/fip.bin
845 For advanced operations on FIP files, it is also possible to independently build
846 the tool and create or modify FIPs using this tool. To do this, follow these
849 It is recommended to remove old artifacts before building the tool:
853 make -C tools/fiptool clean
859 make [DEBUG=1] [V=1] fiptool
861 The tool binary can be located in:
865 ./tools/fiptool/fiptool
867 Invoking the tool with ``--help`` will print a help message with all available
870 Example 1: create a new Firmware package ``fip.bin`` that contains BL2 and BL31:
874 ./tools/fiptool/fiptool create \
875 --tb-fw build/<platform>/<build-type>/bl2.bin \
876 --soc-fw build/<platform>/<build-type>/bl31.bin \
879 Example 2: view the contents of an existing Firmware package:
883 ./tools/fiptool/fiptool info <path-to>/fip.bin
885 Example 3: update the entries of an existing Firmware package:
889 # Change the BL2 from Debug to Release version
890 ./tools/fiptool/fiptool update \
891 --tb-fw build/<platform>/release/bl2.bin \
892 build/<platform>/debug/fip.bin
894 Example 4: unpack all entries from an existing Firmware package:
898 # Images will be unpacked to the working directory
899 ./tools/fiptool/fiptool unpack <path-to>/fip.bin
901 Example 5: remove an entry from an existing Firmware package:
905 ./tools/fiptool/fiptool remove \
906 --tb-fw build/<platform>/debug/fip.bin
908 Note that if the destination FIP file exists, the create, update and
909 remove operations will automatically overwrite it.
911 The unpack operation will fail if the images already exist at the
912 destination. In that case, use -f or --force to continue.
914 More information about FIP can be found in the `Firmware Design`_ document.
916 Migrating from fip\_create to fiptool
917 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
919 The previous version of fiptool was called fip\_create. A compatibility script
920 that emulates the basic functionality of the previous fip\_create is provided.
921 However, users are strongly encouraged to migrate to fiptool.
923 - To create a new FIP file, replace "fip\_create" with "fiptool create".
924 - To update a FIP file, replace "fip\_create" with "fiptool update".
925 - To dump the contents of a FIP file, replace "fip\_create --dump"
928 Building FIP images with support for Trusted Board Boot
929 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
931 Trusted Board Boot primarily consists of the following two features:
933 - Image Authentication, described in `Trusted Board Boot`_, and
934 - Firmware Update, described in `Firmware Update`_
936 The following steps should be followed to build FIP and (optionally) FWU\_FIP
937 images with support for these features:
939 #. Fulfill the dependencies of the ``mbedtls`` cryptographic and image parser
940 modules by checking out a recent version of the `mbed TLS Repository`_. It
941 is important to use a version that is compatible with TF and fixes any
942 known security vulnerabilities. See `mbed TLS Security Center`_ for more
943 information. The latest version of TF is tested with tag ``mbedtls-2.4.2``.
945 The ``drivers/auth/mbedtls/mbedtls_*.mk`` files contain the list of mbed TLS
946 source files the modules depend upon.
947 ``include/drivers/auth/mbedtls/mbedtls_config.h`` contains the configuration
948 options required to build the mbed TLS sources.
950 Note that the mbed TLS library is licensed under the Apache version 2.0
951 license. Using mbed TLS source code will affect the licensing of
952 Trusted Firmware binaries that are built using this library.
954 #. To build the FIP image, ensure the following command line variables are set
955 while invoking ``make`` to build Trusted Firmware:
957 - ``MBEDTLS_DIR=<path of the directory containing mbed TLS sources>``
958 - ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1``
961 In the case of ARM platforms, the location of the ROTPK hash must also be
962 specified at build time. Two locations are currently supported (see
963 ``ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION`` build option):
965 - ``ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION=regs``: the ROTPK hash is obtained from the Trusted
966 root-key storage registers present in the platform. On Juno, this
967 registers are read-only. On FVP Base and Cortex models, the registers
968 are read-only, but the value can be specified using the command line
969 option ``bp.trusted_key_storage.public_key`` when launching the model.
970 On both Juno and FVP models, the default value corresponds to an
971 ECDSA-SECP256R1 public key hash, whose private part is not currently
974 - ``ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION=devel_rsa``: use the ROTPK hash that is hardcoded
975 in the ARM platform port. The private/public RSA key pair may be
976 found in ``plat/arm/board/common/rotpk``.
978 Example of command line using RSA development keys:
982 MBEDTLS_DIR=<path of the directory containing mbed TLS sources> \
983 make PLAT=<platform> TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1 GENERATE_COT=1 \
984 ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION=devel_rsa \
985 ROT_KEY=plat/arm/board/common/rotpk/arm_rotprivk_rsa.pem \
986 BL33=<path-to>/<bl33_image> \
989 The result of this build will be the bl1.bin and the fip.bin binaries. This
990 FIP will include the certificates corresponding to the Chain of Trust
991 described in the TBBR-client document. These certificates can also be found
992 in the output build directory.
994 #. The optional FWU\_FIP contains any additional images to be loaded from
995 Non-Volatile storage during the `Firmware Update`_ process. To build the
996 FWU\_FIP, any FWU images required by the platform must be specified on the
997 command line. On ARM development platforms like Juno, these are:
999 - NS\_BL2U. The AP non-secure Firmware Updater image.
1000 - SCP\_BL2U. The SCP Firmware Update Configuration image.
1002 Example of Juno command line for generating both ``fwu`` and ``fwu_fip``
1003 targets using RSA development:
1007 MBEDTLS_DIR=<path of the directory containing mbed TLS sources> \
1008 make PLAT=juno TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1 GENERATE_COT=1 \
1009 ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION=devel_rsa \
1010 ROT_KEY=plat/arm/board/common/rotpk/arm_rotprivk_rsa.pem \
1011 BL33=<path-to>/<bl33_image> \
1012 SCP_BL2=<path-to>/<scp_bl2_image> \
1013 SCP_BL2U=<path-to>/<scp_bl2u_image> \
1014 NS_BL2U=<path-to>/<ns_bl2u_image> \
1017 Note: The BL2U image will be built by default and added to the FWU\_FIP.
1018 The user may override this by adding ``BL2U=<path-to>/<bl2u_image>``
1019 to the command line above.
1021 Note: Building and installing the non-secure and SCP FWU images (NS\_BL1U,
1022 NS\_BL2U and SCP\_BL2U) is outside the scope of this document.
1024 The result of this build will be bl1.bin, fip.bin and fwu\_fip.bin binaries.
1025 Both the FIP and FWU\_FIP will include the certificates corresponding to the
1026 Chain of Trust described in the TBBR-client document. These certificates
1027 can also be found in the output build directory.
1029 Building the Certificate Generation Tool
1030 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1032 The ``cert_create`` tool is built as part of the TF build process when the ``fip``
1033 make target is specified and TBB is enabled (as described in the previous
1034 section), but it can also be built separately with the following command:
1038 make PLAT=<platform> [DEBUG=1] [V=1] certtool
1040 For platforms that do not require their own IDs in certificate files,
1041 the generic 'cert\_create' tool can be built with the following command:
1045 make USE_TBBR_DEFS=1 [DEBUG=1] [V=1] certtool
1047 ``DEBUG=1`` builds the tool in debug mode. ``V=1`` makes the build process more
1048 verbose. The following command should be used to obtain help about the tool:
1052 ./tools/cert_create/cert_create -h
1054 Building a FIP for Juno and FVP
1055 -------------------------------
1057 This section provides Juno and FVP specific instructions to build Trusted
1058 Firmware, obtain the additional required firmware, and pack it all together in
1059 a single FIP binary. It assumes that a `Linaro Release`_ has been installed.
1061 Note: Pre-built binaries for AArch32 are available from Linaro Release 16.12
1062 onwards. Before that release, pre-built binaries are only available for AArch64.
1064 Note: follow the full instructions for one platform before switching to a
1065 different one. Mixing instructions for different platforms may result in
1068 #. Clean the working directory
1074 #. Obtain SCP\_BL2 (Juno) and BL33 (all platforms)
1076 Use the fiptool to extract the SCP\_BL2 and BL33 images from the FIP
1077 package included in the Linaro release:
1082 make [DEBUG=1] [V=1] fiptool
1084 # Unpack firmware images from Linaro FIP
1085 ./tools/fiptool/fiptool unpack \
1086 <path/to/linaro/release>/fip.bin
1088 The unpack operation will result in a set of binary images extracted to the
1089 current working directory. The SCP\_BL2 image corresponds to
1090 ``scp-fw.bin`` and BL33 corresponds to ``nt-fw.bin``.
1092 Note: the fiptool will complain if the images to be unpacked already
1093 exist in the current directory. If that is the case, either delete those
1094 files or use the ``--force`` option to overwrite.
1096 Note for AArch32, the instructions below assume that nt-fw.bin is a custom
1097 Normal world boot loader that supports AArch32.
1099 #. Build TF images and create a new FIP for FVP
1104 make PLAT=fvp BL33=nt-fw.bin all fip
1107 make PLAT=fvp ARCH=aarch32 AARCH32_SP=sp_min BL33=nt-fw.bin all fip
1109 #. Build TF images and create a new FIP for Juno
1113 Building for AArch64 on Juno simply requires the addition of ``SCP_BL2``
1114 as a build parameter.
1118 make PLAT=juno all fip \
1119 BL33=<path-to-juno-oe-uboot>/SOFTWARE/bl33-uboot.bin \
1120 SCP_BL2=<path-to-juno-busybox-uboot>/SOFTWARE/scp_bl2.bin
1124 Hardware restrictions on Juno prevent cold reset into AArch32 execution mode,
1125 therefore BL1 and BL2 must be compiled for AArch64, and BL32 is compiled
1126 separately for AArch32.
1128 - Before building BL32, the environment variable ``CROSS_COMPILE`` must point
1129 to the AArch32 Linaro cross compiler.
1133 export CROSS_COMPILE=<path-to-aarch32-gcc>/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-
1135 - Build BL32 in AArch32.
1139 make ARCH=aarch32 PLAT=juno AARCH32_SP=sp_min \
1140 RESET_TO_SP_MIN=1 JUNO_AARCH32_EL3_RUNTIME=1 bl32
1142 - Before building BL1 and BL2, the environment variable ``CROSS_COMPILE``
1143 must point to the AArch64 Linaro cross compiler.
1147 export CROSS_COMPILE=<path-to-aarch64-gcc>/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-
1149 - The following parameters should be used to build BL1 and BL2 in AArch64
1150 and point to the BL32 file.
1154 make ARCH=aarch64 PLAT=juno LOAD_IMAGE_V2=1 JUNO_AARCH32_EL3_RUNTIME=1 \
1155 BL33=<path-to-juno32-oe-uboot>/SOFTWARE/bl33-uboot.bin \
1156 SCP_BL2=<path-to-juno32-oe-uboot>/SOFTWARE/scp_bl2.bin SPD=tspd \
1157 BL32=<path-to-bl32>/bl32.bin all fip
1159 The resulting BL1 and FIP images may be found in:
1164 ./build/juno/release/bl1.bin
1165 ./build/juno/release/fip.bin
1168 ./build/fvp/release/bl1.bin
1169 ./build/fvp/release/fip.bin
1171 EL3 payloads alternative boot flow
1172 ----------------------------------
1174 On a pre-production system, the ability to execute arbitrary, bare-metal code at
1175 the highest exception level is required. It allows full, direct access to the
1176 hardware, for example to run silicon soak tests.
1178 Although it is possible to implement some baremetal secure firmware from
1179 scratch, this is a complex task on some platforms, depending on the level of
1180 configuration required to put the system in the expected state.
1182 Rather than booting a baremetal application, a possible compromise is to boot
1183 ``EL3 payloads`` through the Trusted Firmware instead. This is implemented as an
1184 alternative boot flow, where a modified BL2 boots an EL3 payload, instead of
1185 loading the other BL images and passing control to BL31. It reduces the
1186 complexity of developing EL3 baremetal code by:
1188 - putting the system into a known architectural state;
1189 - taking care of platform secure world initialization;
1190 - loading the SCP\_BL2 image if required by the platform.
1192 When booting an EL3 payload on ARM standard platforms, the configuration of the
1193 TrustZone controller is simplified such that only region 0 is enabled and is
1194 configured to permit secure access only. This gives full access to the whole
1195 DRAM to the EL3 payload.
1197 The system is left in the same state as when entering BL31 in the default boot
1198 flow. In particular:
1201 - Current state is AArch64;
1202 - Little-endian data access;
1203 - All exceptions disabled;
1207 Booting an EL3 payload
1208 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1210 The EL3 payload image is a standalone image and is not part of the FIP. It is
1211 not loaded by the Trusted Firmware. Therefore, there are 2 possible scenarios:
1213 - The EL3 payload may reside in non-volatile memory (NVM) and execute in
1214 place. In this case, booting it is just a matter of specifying the right
1215 address in NVM through ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE`` when building the TF.
1217 - The EL3 payload needs to be loaded in volatile memory (e.g. DRAM) at
1220 To help in the latter scenario, the ``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT=1`` build option can be
1221 used. The infinite loop that it introduces in BL1 stops execution at the right
1222 moment for a debugger to take control of the target and load the payload (for
1223 example, over JTAG).
1225 It is expected that this loading method will work in most cases, as a debugger
1226 connection is usually available in a pre-production system. The user is free to
1227 use any other platform-specific mechanism to load the EL3 payload, though.
1229 Booting an EL3 payload on FVP
1230 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1232 The EL3 payloads boot flow requires the CPU's mailbox to be cleared at reset for
1233 the secondary CPUs holding pen to work properly. Unfortunately, its reset value
1234 is undefined on the FVP platform and the FVP platform code doesn't clear it.
1235 Therefore, one must modify the way the model is normally invoked in order to
1236 clear the mailbox at start-up.
1238 One way to do that is to create an 8-byte file containing all zero bytes using
1239 the following command:
1243 dd if=/dev/zero of=mailbox.dat bs=1 count=8
1245 and pre-load it into the FVP memory at the mailbox address (i.e. ``0x04000000``)
1246 using the following model parameters:
1250 --data cluster0.cpu0=mailbox.dat@0x04000000 [Base FVPs]
1251 --data=mailbox.dat@0x04000000 [Foundation FVP]
1253 To provide the model with the EL3 payload image, the following methods may be
1256 #. If the EL3 payload is able to execute in place, it may be programmed into
1257 flash memory. On Base Cortex and AEM FVPs, the following model parameter
1258 loads it at the base address of the NOR FLASH1 (the NOR FLASH0 is already
1263 -C bp.flashloader1.fname="/path/to/el3-payload"
1265 On Foundation FVP, there is no flash loader component and the EL3 payload
1266 may be programmed anywhere in flash using method 3 below.
1268 #. When using the ``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT=1`` loading method, the following DS-5
1269 command may be used to load the EL3 payload ELF image over JTAG:
1273 load /path/to/el3-payload.elf
1275 #. The EL3 payload may be pre-loaded in volatile memory using the following
1280 --data cluster0.cpu0="/path/to/el3-payload"@address [Base FVPs]
1281 --data="/path/to/el3-payload"@address [Foundation FVP]
1283 The address provided to the FVP must match the ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE`` address
1284 used when building the Trusted Firmware.
1286 Booting an EL3 payload on Juno
1287 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1289 If the EL3 payload is able to execute in place, it may be programmed in flash
1290 memory by adding an entry in the ``SITE1/HBI0262x/images.txt`` configuration file
1291 on the Juno SD card (where ``x`` depends on the revision of the Juno board).
1292 Refer to the `Juno Getting Started Guide`_, section 2.3 "Flash memory
1293 programming" for more information.
1295 Alternatively, the same DS-5 command mentioned in the FVP section above can
1296 be used to load the EL3 payload's ELF file over JTAG on Juno.
1298 Preloaded BL33 alternative boot flow
1299 ------------------------------------
1301 Some platforms have the ability to preload BL33 into memory instead of relying
1302 on Trusted Firmware to load it. This may simplify packaging of the normal world
1303 code and improve performance in a development environment. When secure world
1304 cold boot is complete, Trusted Firmware simply jumps to a BL33 base address
1305 provided at build time.
1307 For this option to be used, the ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE`` build option has to be
1308 used when compiling the Trusted Firmware. For example, the following command
1309 will create a FIP without a BL33 and prepare to jump to a BL33 image loaded at
1314 make PRELOADED_BL33_BASE=0x80000000 PLAT=fvp all fip
1316 Boot of a preloaded bootwrapped kernel image on Base FVP
1317 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1319 The following example uses the AArch64 boot wrapper. This simplifies normal
1320 world booting while also making use of TF features. It can be obtained from its
1325 git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mark/boot-wrapper-aarch64.git
1327 After compiling it, an ELF file is generated. It can be loaded with the
1332 <path-to>/FVP_Base_AEMv8A-AEMv8A \
1333 -C bp.secureflashloader.fname=bl1.bin \
1334 -C bp.flashloader0.fname=fip.bin \
1335 -a cluster0.cpu0=<bootwrapped-kernel.elf> \
1336 --start cluster0.cpu0=0x0
1338 The ``-a cluster0.cpu0=<bootwrapped-kernel.elf>`` option loads the ELF file. It
1339 also sets the PC register to the ELF entry point address, which is not the
1340 desired behaviour, so the ``--start cluster0.cpu0=0x0`` option forces the PC back
1341 to 0x0 (the BL1 entry point address) on CPU #0. The ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE`` define
1342 used when compiling the FIP must match the ELF entry point.
1344 Boot of a preloaded bootwrapped kernel image on Juno
1345 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1347 The procedure to obtain and compile the boot wrapper is very similar to the case
1348 of the FVP. The execution must be stopped at the end of bl2\_main(), and the
1349 loading method explained above in the EL3 payload boot flow section may be used
1350 to load the ELF file over JTAG on Juno.

1399 Please refer to the FVP documentation for a detailed description of the model
1400 parameter options. A brief description of the important ones that affect the ARM
1401 Trusted Firmware and normal world software behavior is provided below.
1403 Obtaining the Flattened Device Trees
1404 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1406 Depending on the FVP configuration and Linux configuration used, different
1407 FDT files are required. FDTs for the Foundation and Base FVPs can be found in
1408 the Trusted Firmware source directory under ``fdts/``. The Foundation FVP has a
1409 subset of the Base FVP components. For example, the Foundation FVP lacks CLCD
1410 and MMC support, and has only one CPU cluster.
1412 Note: It is not recommended to use the FDTs built along the kernel because not
1413 all FDTs are available from there.

1699 Running the software on Juno
1700 ----------------------------
1702 This version of the ARM Trusted Firmware has been tested on variants r0, r1 and
1705 To execute the software stack on Juno, the version of the Juno board recovery
1706 image indicated in the `Linaro Release Notes`_ must be installed. If you have an
1707 earlier version installed or are unsure which version is installed, please
1708 re-install the recovery image by following the
1709 `Instructions for using Linaro's deliverables on Juno`_.
1711 Preparing Trusted Firmware images
1712 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1714 After building Trusted Firmware, the files ``bl1.bin`` and ``fip.bin`` need copying
1715 to the ``SOFTWARE/`` directory of the Juno SD card.
1717 Other Juno software information
1718 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1720 Please visit the `ARM Platforms Portal`_ to get support and obtain any other Juno
1721 software information. Please also refer to the `Juno Getting Started Guide`_ to
1722 get more detailed information about the Juno ARM development platform and how to
1725 Testing SYSTEM SUSPEND on Juno
1726 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1728 The SYSTEM SUSPEND is a PSCI API which can be used to implement system suspend
1729 to RAM. For more details refer to section 5.16 of `PSCI`_. To test system suspend
1730 on Juno, at the linux shell prompt, issue the following command:
1734 echo +10 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm
1735 echo -n mem > /sys/power/state
1737 The Juno board should suspend to RAM and then wakeup after 10 seconds due to
1738 wakeup interrupt from RTC.
