Hi, I am trying to setup and run the RME support in TF-A, using the steps described here, https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/latest/components/realm-managem… Build goes smoothly and when I launch FVP to run the RME tests using the command line mentioned in the link, the FVP terminal_0 seems to be get stuck at the below line, Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'.

TF-A CI often fail due to missing rebase

by Julius Werner

Hi Glen, Don, and others, I've seen that a couple of TF-A patches I've been CCed on recently often seem to fail the CI run (Allow-CI+1) due to some strange build-time errors that don't seem to have anything to do with the patch at hand, and then one of the maintainers usually suggests that the patch needs a rebase, and the next CI run succeeds after that. Here are two recent examples: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/16160 https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/14666 I was wondering if this is a known problem and if the CI can do anything here to mitigate it and save developers from this extra layer of friction? I'm not really sure why a rebase was necessary in either of these examples or why the CI run failed before it (unless the whole repository was in a bad state that didn't build, but since all submissions are guarded by the CI that shouldn't have been possible?). But I also don't really understand why the rebase would make a difference for the CI anyway. Generally, when a patch is submitted in Gerrit, that means it is cherry-picked onto the current master (regardless of what parent commit it was uploaded with). Since the CI is supposed to be a test run for submission, I would expect that the CI should also test a patch by cherry-picking it onto the current master, not just by building the patch on top of whatever parent commit it was uploaded with. But since rebasing a patch evidently seems to make a difference to the CI, that suggests that it's currently doing the latter strategy? Should that maybe be changed to the former to avoid these kinds of issues? If this isn't a known problem yet maybe it would be worth adding it to the JIRA? Thanks, Julius

A problem about TZASC in Armv9

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
