Adding support for phyCORE AM62L in TF-A

by Florijan Plohl

Hello! We’d like to add support in TF-A for the PHYTEC phyCORE AM62L. On this board we need BL1 to read the on-board EEPROM via I2C to set the correct DRAM timings. Right now we have it working by editing the TI AM62L files on TI's TF-A fork and adding the EEPROM and I2C drivers. Our questions are: - Should we create a separate board for phyCORE AM62L, or would it make more sense to include this as an option in the TI AM62L support? - How much abstraction should we implement for EEPROM and I2C drivers? Thanks for any advice! Best regards, Florijan Plohl

Raspberry Pi-5 platform maintainer

by Manish Pandey2

Hi, I’m looking for details on the Raspberry Pi 5 (RPi5) platform port in TF-A and to identify a potential platform owner/maintainer. I can see an RPi5 port attributed to @mariobalanica02@gmail.com<mailto:mariobalanica02@gmail.com>, but [1] doesn’t list a platform owner for this target. I also haven’t found TF-A documentation describing the software stack or the current level of testing for RPi5. Could someone please point me to: The current platform owner/maintainer, design/bring-up notes around SW stack or testing? [1] : https://git.trustedfirmware.org/plugins/gitiles/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a.git… Thanks Manish

Does FVP_Base_RevC-2xAEMvA platform model has a full support for address translation at PL2 stage-1 MMU in aarch32?

by Marek

Have you ever succeeded in performing a Stage-1 MMU translation using LPAE (Long Physical Address Extension) on the FVP_Base_RevC-2xAEMvA platform model running in AArch32 Hyp mode (CONFIG64=0) into any other Memory but Strongly-Ordered? My environment is - FVP_Base_RevC-2xAEMvA booting SW stack from bullet point below - SW stack from Yocto, 'meta-arm'. I use 'fvp-base-arm32' that builds bl1, bl2, bl32, bl33, Linux kernel and rootfs. The only component that works there at PL2 HYP mode is u-boot (bl33). Whichever attributes I assign there Normal Memory with Inner or Outer Cacheability, Write-Through, or Write-Back, or Non-cacheable I always end up with Strongly-Ordered. To me it looks like it doesn't read the MAIR correctly and/or ignores the Cachability in HCTR. I inspected the MMU code thoroughly there, compared with the other codes for MMU, from trusted-firmware-a, xen, and Linux kernel and it seems u-boot does it correct. U-boot sets there identity-mapping for all 4GB with 0GB through 2GB Strongly-Ordered, 3G - 4G Normal Memory, Cachable Write-Back Write-Allocate, Non-Shareable and the last 1GB also Strongly-Ordered. Here is a brief execution steps it goes through: #1 Sets up the 2M-block at the 2nd level table with attributes. - sample block descriptor for translating from 0x8000_0000 virt to phys: 0x8000044d - bits[1:0] = 0b01 -> valid descriptor, descriptor type: block - bits[4:2] = 0b011 -> AttrIndx[2:0] points to MAIR0[3] . MAIR0[3] is 0xff - bits[5] = 0b0 - Non-secure - bits[7:6] = 0b01 - Access Permission: Read/write - bits[9:8] = 0b00 -> Shareability: non-shareable #2 Sets up 1st level table descriptor pointing to the descriptor shown above. It sets bits[1:0] to 0b11 meaning it is a table descriptor and valid. #3 Set control registers as follows HTCR is: 0x80000500 so - bits[9:8] = 0b01 -> Inner Cacheability to Normal memory, Outer Write-Back Write-Allocate Cacheable - bits[11:10] = 0b01 -> Outer Cacheability to Normal memory, Outer Write-Back Write-Allocate Cacheable - bits[13:12] = 0b00 -> Non-shareable HTTBR is: 0x00000000feff4000 -> points to 1st lavel table set in #2 HMAIR0 is: 0xffeeaa00 -> as shown above AttrIndx[2:0] points to MAIR0 and the four nibble being 0xff. 0xff is Normal memory, Inner Write-Back Cacheablea, Non-transientb HMAIR1 is: 0x00000000 - I set it to zero there as not used. #4 Finally it sets the M and C bits in HSCTLR registers Inspecting the page tables with amrds the region 3GB through 4GB that should be Normal and Cachable is Strongly-Ordered - 0x80000000 | L2 Block | NP:0x0000000080000000 | XN=0, PXN=0, Contiguous=0, nG=0, AF=1, SH=0x0, AP=0x1, AttrIndx=0x3 - H:0x80000000-0xFEFFFFFF | NP:0x80000000-0xFEFFFFFF | Strongly-ordered | NA | False | True | True Least not last are the parameters I pass to the model: FVP_Base_RevC-2xAEMvA --parameter bp.ve_sysregs.exit_on_shutdown=1 --parameter bp.virtio_net.enabled=1 --parameter bp.virtio_net.hostbridge.userNetworking=1 --parameter bp.virtio_net.hostbridge.userNetPorts=8022=22 --parameter cache_state_modelled=0 --parameter bp.secureflashloader.fname=/home/ubuntu/yocto/poky/arm32-aem-build/tmp/deploy/images/fvp-base-arm32/bl1-fvp.bin --parameter bp.flashloader0.fname=/home/ubuntu/yocto/poky/arm32-aem-build/tmp/deploy/images/fvp-base-arm32/fip-fvp.bin --parameter bp.virtioblockdevice.image_path=/home/ubuntu/yocto/poky/arm32-aem-build/tmp/deploy/images/fvp-base-arm32/core-image-minimal-fvp-base-arm32-20250630100348.rootfs.wic --parameter cluster0.has_arm_v8-4=1 --parameter cluster1.has_arm_v8-4=1 --parameter cluster0.cpu0.CONFIG64=0 --parameter cluster0.cpu1.CONFIG64=0 --parameter cluster0.cpu2.CONFIG64=0 --parameter cluster0.cpu3.CONFIG64=0 --parameter cluster1.cpu0.CONFIG64=0 --parameter cluster1.cpu1.CONFIG64=0 --parameter cluster1.cpu2.CONFIG64=0 --parameter cluster1.cpu3.CONFIG64=0 --data cluster0.cpu0=/home/ubuntu/yocto/poky/arm32-aem-build/tmp/deploy/images/fvp-base-arm32/zImage@0x80080000 --data cluster0.cpu0=/home/ubuntu/yocto/poky/arm32-aem-build/tmp/deploy/images/fvp-base-arm32/fvp-base-revc.dtb@0x8fc00000 --parameter 'bp.terminal_0.terminal_command=tmux new-window -n "%title" "telnet localhost %port"' --parameter bp.terminal_1.start_telnet=0 --parameter bp.terminal_2.start_telnet=0 --parameter bp.terminal_3.start_telnet=0 --iris-server --iris-port 7102 --iris-allow-remote And an interrupted (not full for longevity) console log: NOTICE: Booting Trusted Firmware NOTICE: BL1: v2.8(debug):dd37aa5be-dirty NOTICE: BL1: Built : 20:04:50, Aug 4 2025 NOTICE: BL1: Booting BL2 NOTICE: BL2: v2.8(debug):dd37aa5be-dirty NOTICE: BL2: Built : 20:04:50, Aug 4 2025 NOTICE: BL1: Booting BL32 WARNING: FCONF: Invalid config id 26 INFO: SP_MIN FCONF: HW_CONFIG address = 0x7f00000 INFO: FCONF: Reading HW_CONFIG firmware configuration file from: 0x7f00000 INFO: FCONF: Reading firmware configuration information for: cpu_timer INFO: FCONF: Reading firmware configuration information for: uart_config INFO: FCONF: Reading firmware configuration information for: topology INFO: FCONF: Reading firmware configuration information for: gicv3_config NOTICE: SP_MIN: v2.8(debug):dd37aa5be-dirty NOTICE: SP_MIN: Built : 20:04:50, Aug 4 2025 U-Boot 2022.04 (Aug 06 2025 - 16:41:21 +0000) vexpress_aemv8a fvp aarch32 DRAM: 2 GiB WARNING: Caches not enabled Core: 2 devices, 2 uclasses Flash: 64 MiB MMC: Loading Environment from nowhere...
