- TF-A - lists.trustedfirmware.org

by Chenxu Wang

Greetings, Armv9 introduces the RME and GPT technology. The GPT will separates the memory into unlimited regions with specific attributes. However, when I read the Armv9 manual and source code of TF-A, I still have some problems: 1. It seems that GPT is a feature on CPU, but not on a specific device (e.g.,TZC-400). Thus, will GPT conflict with TZC-400? I mean, when performing VA->PA on RAM, what is the detailed process if I enable both GPT and TZC-400? 2. I use the Arm FVP with Armv9 and RME extension enabled, and TF-A is "arm_cca" branch (with TF-A v2.5). Thus, in this version, what is the configuration for TZC-400 and GPT? Will it disable TZC-400 (I mean, GPT only) when booting Normal World? 3. Does GPT handle peripheral access (e.g., from DMA, GPU, Sensors... etc.)? I know TZC-400 will do it with NSAID. 4. Will GPT configures Read/Write/Execute features? All comments are valuable! SIncerely, WANG Chenxu

Re: Question about disable MMU in BL1

by 邬金平

Hi, I have tried this before, there is a problem. on Armv8, when MMU disabled, the default attribute of memory is device, and device memory access has alignment requirements. For example, accessing address (0x1) will result in fault.

Question about maximum TF-A BL31 memory usage

by Peng Fan

Hi All, Is there any public BL31 memory usage data, such as static image size and runtime memory usage, with different feature enabled? For example, typical PSCI feature would require image size XXKB, runtime memory XXKB. enabling FFA would enlarge image size by XXKB, runtime memory enlarge XXKB. we are evaluating how much On-Chip RAM could be assigned for BL31, if there are any public data available, that would be great. Thanks, Peng.

Rebooting LTS discussion

by Okash Khawaja

Hi, There have been discussions about having long term support releases for TF-A, e.g. the email thread [1] and a tech forum [2]. For partners releasing TF-A in their production devices, LTS is very much needed. From the previous discussions, it seems like there is an agreement that LTS is a good idea but we need to build consensus on how to support it. Any thoughts on this? Thanks, Okash [1] https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/archives/search?mlist=tf-a%40lists.truste… [2] https://www.trustedfirmware.org/docs/TF-A-LTS.pdf

Question about FVP's dts

by Chenxu Wang

Hi all, I am using FVP base RevC. Recently I heard that this FVP supports a Mali G76 GPU, and I want to test it. To configure it, initially I add a node in linux/arch/arm64/boot/dts/arm/fvp-base-aemv8a-aemv8a.dtsi, but it doesn't work. Finally, I find that I should configure trusted-firmware-a/fdts/fvp-base-gicv3-psci-1t.dts, and I can see a mali GPU node in /proc/device-tree. One of my booting command (sorry, the entire booting command is TOO long) is "--data cluster0.cpu0=arm-reference-platform/output/fvp/fvp-oe/uboot/fvp-base-aemv8a-aemv8a.dtb@0x82000000". And I use the following shell command to compile the TF-A: make PLAT=fvp all CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf- ENABLE_RME=1 DEBUG=1 ARCH=aarch64 fip BL33=arm-reference-platform/output/fvp/components/fvp/uboot.bin FVP_HW_CONFIG_DTS=fdts/fvp-base-gicv3-psci-1t.dts ARM_DISABLE_TRUSTED_WDOG=1. So, I wonder, why the real DTS is in TF-A, instead of Linux? BTW, I wanna ask another question (although it is not proper to ask here, I cannot find FVP's mailing list): Can someone provide a proper dts configurations for FVP's Mali G76 GPU? Sincerely, WANG Chenxu
