- TF-A - lists.trustedfirmware.org

by Paul Beesley

Hi, I'd like to make you aware of a set of patches that are currently in review under the "pb/sphinx-doc" topic. These patches do some preparatory work on our documentation so that the reStructured Text (RST) documents can be rendered using a tool called Sphinx (http://www.sphinx-doc.org). This tool will allow us, going forward, to investigate additional output formats and publishing options for the documentation. The aim of these specific patches is to: 1) Prepare the documentation for building with the Sphinx application 2) Improve the general formatting and naming of the documents 3) Organise the documents into a sensible structure 4) Maintain compatibility with existing renderers You can find the first patch in the chain on our Gerrit review system, here: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/1041 . Follow the "Relation Chain" to see all of the related patches in the series. Please note that documentation for upstream platforms is modified by these patches as part of the reformatting. These changes should all be minor but platform maintainers may wish to give them a quick review, especially this one: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/1046 . As always, any feedback on these changes is welcome and there will always be the opportunity to make further changes beyond the scope of these patches. Best Regards, Paul

Removal of deprecated console interface

by Ambroise Vincent

Hi, A reminder that the legacy console API is going to be removed. The date is currently set to the end of June. An issue was raised here: https://github.com/ARM-software/tf-issues/issues/692 as an early warning, and listing the affected platforms. The patch can be found here: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/842/ Please let us know if you have any issues porting the change to your platform. Regards

Re: [TF-A] [LPC] Bootloader miniconf

by Matteo Carlini

Hi Marek, Thanks for raising the topic across the communities. The question is probably how many people from the various projects are going to attend Plumbers this year in Lisbon, so to create some critical mass. The TF.org project is planning a significant presence at the Open Source Firmware Conference happening the week before in California (https://osfc.io/), sponsoring the event and submitting few engineering topics. This is another great opportunity to meet and chat on Boot/Firmware topics as well. Having a boot miniconf the week after in Europe may be a natural extension, but I'm wondering if people would be willing to travel and attend two similar events in a row...

[LPC] Bootloader miniconf

by Marek Vasut

Hi, I was pondering whether it would make sense to organize a bootloader miniconf at Linux Plumbers [1]. The Linux kernel is what we often start, the bootloader projects generally do similar things, hence I think being able to meet face-to-face and discuss how to make things better/nicer would be beneficial. Feel free to expand the CC list to other interested parties. Thoughts ? [1] https://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/ -- Best regards, Marek Vasut

Mbed TLS: Remove weak heap implementation

by Ambroise Vincent

The shared Mbed TLS heap feature has a default implementation (weak function) that will soon be removed: plat_get_mbedtls_heap(). This is part of the general effort to avoid using weak functions in generic code. As a result, the implementation of this function becomes mandatory when supporting Trusted Board Boot. The corresponding patch can be found here: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/841 The fact that the implementation of plat_get_mbedtls_heap() becomes mandatory will break compatibility with platforms not implementing a strong version of the function. Upstream platforms are taken care of in the above patch. Downstream platforms will break, but it is easy to fix.

Re: [TF-A] [RFC 0/2] psci: Add core wakeup operation

by Soby Mathew

Hi Abel, Thanks for the RFC. On the face of it, this is a new PSCI command that would need further discussion involving Architecture and Kernel teams. Just to summarize my understanding: Currently any interrupt targeted to a suspended core can wake it up, but it seems that this mechanism is broken on i.MX8MQ and hence you need an explicit command to wake it. This assumes that one CPU is always ON within the system ready to poke the suspended CPU back to life. This assumption is not true always as it is legal for all the CPUs to be in suspend state at the same time. Adding the kernel team for their input. JFYI, We do not intend to review patches via the mailing list and patches should be pushed as mentioned here: https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/blob/master/contributi… Currently the project is in github but we expect to migrate to trustedfirmware.org in April.

[RFC 0/2] psci: Add core wakeup operation

by Abel Vesa

This is more like a workaround for platforms like i.MX8MQ that have an issue related to the wake_request GIC signal integration. See E11171 here: https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/errata/IMX8MDQLQ_0N14W.pdf The workaround mentioned in the document has the dissadvantage of waking up all the sleeping cores instead of just one. This patchset adds another psci op for core 'poking' (waking up). On i.MX8MQ, the plat specific implementation writes the corresponding bits in GPC to wake up independently each core.

Does CMAKE support configuration system as well ? Another factor to consider is the familiarity of the build system with the community, and we think Kbuild would rank high on that.

Re: [Tf-a] New build system based on Kconfig/Kbuild

Has CMAKE been considered ? CMAKE should work equally well on windows(visual studio and Cygwin) and linux. You can create a new build system around CMAKE while keeping the current Makefile system alive, and deprecate it later, once the CMAKE based build system is stable. -Raghu On Dec 13, 2018, at 04:00 AM, tf-a-request(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org wrote: Send TF-A mailing list submissions to tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/mailman/listinfo/tf-a or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to tf-a-request(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org You can reach the person managing the list at tf-a-owner(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of TF-A digest..."
