Hello all,
I need to load Bl2 boot image file from emmc interface from 'Synopsys DesignWare Cores Mobile Storage Host Controller'. I can see an existing emmc driver for synopsis controller but it seems to have only support SDMA mode and not ADMA2 and ADMA3 modes.
https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/blob/master/drivers/sy…
Is my understanding correct. Is there a specific reason why ADMA2/3 modes are not supported in existing driver. Any plan to update them soon?
I can see adma2/3 mode support available in Linux driver though.

Hi,
Thanks for the detailed documentation about how to enable RME in tf-a. I try to replace the tftf.bin with the normal boot firmware (edk2) to load the Linux in the normal world, but it fails. The log message from terminal_0 is shown below:
INFO: RMM init start.
INFO: RMM init end.
INFO: BL31: Preparing for EL3 exit to normal world
INFO: Entry point address = 0x88000000
INFO: SPSR = 0x3c9
I found a possible solution from the archives:
[https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/archives/list/tf-a@lists.trustedfirmware.…].
I try to modify the dts file under edk2-platform/Platform/ARM/VExpressPkg/DeviceTree/ to change the DDR memory range, which is similar to the modification for RME in [https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/blob/master/fdts/fvp-b…], but it does not solve the problem.
So, how can I boot Linux in the normal world with RME enabled?
Thanks,
This event has been updated

Hi,
I'm currently working on porting TFA to our upcoming SOC.
We plan to support Measured boot using external I2C TPM module.
I'm wondering about the implementation of that in BL1.
Do you think that I need to write the measurements directly to the I2C
module in BL1 ?
I'm asking because I would like to have the least source of problems
in BL1 which I can't upgrade.
I thought of storing the measurements in secure RAM and perhaps copy later.
Would love to hear your thoughts.
PS.
Actually I would love to have the option to choose to implement TPM
also in SW (fTPM using optee - as was done in the POC).
I think that if I store the measurement of BL2 in secure RAM I can
later change the specific TPM while upgrading only BL2/BL31...
Thanks,
Ramon
Hello Yann,
Hello Pascal,
I've tried booting v2.7-rc0 on the lxa-mc1 and TF-A panics:
NOTICE: CPU: STM32MP157C?? Rev.B
NOTICE: Model: Linux Automation MC-1 board
ERROR: regul ldo3: max value 750 is invalid
PANIC at PC : 0x2ffeebb7
because the driver takes great offense at the content of the device
tree. The parts in question were copy-pasted from ST DTs, but those
ST DTs were fixed by commit 67d95409baae
("refactor(stm32mp1-fdts): update regulator description").
I can understand ST hesistancy to touch device trees of 'unofficial' boards,
but I would appreciate that new features then, such as this regulator sanity
checking, be made optional and off by default to not needlessly break other
boards.
Thanks,
Ahmad

We are using an arm ARCH-64 (A55) and we need to do some floating point math in BL2. It seems this is not enabled. Is there a reason why I cannot do FP math (security issue?) and if I can, how do I enable it?
I am seeing this error when I use floats "-mgeneral-regs-only"
thanks
hi,
I has quality engineer from china.
I would to start study the Arm profile-A trustedfirmware and try to test it.
I has read trustedfirmware documetion ,
From the Processes & policies Chap about CI part. "https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/latest/process/contributing.htm… "
Find ATF has Coverity Scan and test image build.
but I would to know, trustedfirmware-a whether has unit test part in the code level quality check.

Hi,
We use mainline TF-A and have problems using the HAB API in the
U-Boot. We see for example that the hab_auth_img command fails in the
mainline U-Boot. If we switch to the downstream NXP TF-A it works. Is
this to be expected?

Hi
Arguments between the BL1 and BL2 is overlap by zeromem when BL2 start.
1. BL2 save r3 to r12
arm-trusted-firmware/bl2/aarch32/bl2_entrypoint.S
/*---------------------------------------------
* Save arguments x0 - x3 from BL1 for future
* use.
* ---------------------------------------------
*/
mov r9, r0
mov r10, r1
mov r11, r2
mov r12, r3
2. BL2 call zeromem to clear bss
arm-trusted-firmware/bl2/aarch32/bl2_entrypoint.S
ldr r0, =__BSS_START__
ldr r1, =__BSS_END__
sub r1, r1, r0
bl zeromem
arm-trusted-firmware/lib/aarch32/misc_helpers.S
tmp .req r12 /* Temporary scratch register */
r12 used as scratch register
3. r3 restore from r12
arm-trusted-firmware/bl2/aarch32/bl2_entrypoint.S
mov r0, r9
mov r1, r10
mov r2, r11
mov r3, r12
I can try to save it in other registers, but can not guarantee that the
register will not be damaged. Is there any better way to deal with this
problem?
Thanks.
Hi,
We use TF-A v2.5 with ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS=1 and SPM_MM=1 and boot linux kernel is ok.
Atfer upgrade TF-A with patch fix(spm_mm): do not compile if SVE/SME is enabled (4333f95bedb),
we set ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS=0 to fix compile error, but we get exception and hang in EL3 when boot kernel:

TF-A Community,
This is to notify that we are planning to target the Trusted Firmware-A 2.7 release during the 4th week of May as part of the regular 6 month cadence.
The aim is to consolidate all TF-A work since the 2.6 release. As part of this, a release candidate tag will be created and release activities will commence from 23rd May across all TF-A repositories.
Essentially, we will not merge any major enhancements from this date until the release is made.
Please ensure any patches desired to make the 2.7 release are submitted in good time to be complete by 20th May.
Any major enhancement patches still open after that date will not be merged until after the release.
This will involve the various repositories making up the broader TF-A project including the TF-A mainline, TF-A Tests, Hafnium, TF-A CI Scripts and TF-A CI Jobs.
We will endeavour minimise the disruption on patch merging and complete release activities ASAP after we start.
Thanks,
Daniel
Hi All,
Currently, in Arm platforms, BL2 loads HW config in the non-secure memory so that it can be consumed by both non-secure
components (BL33) and secure (BL31, BL32) components.
In most cases, this shouldn't be an issue since no software runs in non-secure world at this time (i.e. non-secure world has not
been started yet) However, it doesn't provide a guarantee though since any malicious external NS-agents (such as an external
debugger)can take control of this memory region for update/corruption after BL2 loads this region and before BL31 consumes
it. Consider below scenario:
1. BL2 loads HW_CONFIG from flash to NS DRAM.
2. BL2 authenticates HW_CONFIG in NS DRAM.
3. A malicious non-secure agent modifies the contents of HW_CONFIG in NS DRAM, such that it induces a different
behaviour in BL31.
1. BL31 consumes HW_CONFIG without noticing it has changed.
To overcome this issue, I created a patch [1] to load the HW-config into secure memory, and that eventually will be used by
BL31/sp_min and BL32 components. Additionally, BL31/sp_min copies the HW-config present in secure memory to a non-secure
location before passing it on to BL33. In order to accomplish this, mapped secure DRAM in BL31/sp_min and BL32, and non-secure
DRAM in BL31/sp_min.
I believe some platforms may have similar kind of issue i.e. HW config placed in non-secure memory consumed by both secure and
non-secure components. It is appreciated if you review the patch [1] I posted and provide feedback.
This patch [1] also mitigates threat ID #3 for FVP platform as per the TF-A threat model [2] (Bypass image authentication scenario).

Topic: FF-A v1.1 Boot protocol implementation
Presented by: Joao Alves
Agenda: This session presents the recently introduced FF-A v1.1 Boot protocol implementation, motivations and challenges. The change set spans across TF-A, Hafnium and TF-A-tests repositories. The presentation covers the TF-A build flow and Secure Partitions packaging, how Hafnium consumes the new SP package format and passes boot data to SPs.
