TL;DR: Attached is the TF-A LTS proposal doc. Please review and share your thoughts. Hello everyone, Long term support for TF-A has a long history. As a community we have flirted with it for a while, and like any flirtation, it started with gossip -- in our case, over mailing list [1] -- more than two years ago. Then Varun Wadekar did a wonderful tech forum presentation [2] which demonstrated interest in the topic and raised interesting questions about LTS. After some time, the affair lost headline status, only to be revived again [3], earlier this year. This time however, there is a formal proposal (no pun intended). After the mailing list discussion and feedback from TF-A tech forum [4], we have put together a draft which attempts to give a concrete idea about what the TF-A LTS will look like. Please spare some time to read through it and share your feedback. The plan is to put LTS into action this November. Cheers!

Issue with adding ssh key to review server

by sparlane＠gmail.com

Hi All, Sorry if this is the wrong list, I'm trying to submit a patch for tf-a and I'm currently unable to add an ssh key or generate an https password to use for authentication. Perhaps I am doing something wrong? I'm trying to use the settings here: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/settings/#HTTPCredentials to add an ssh key and I get the error message "Error 500 (Server Error): Internal server error Endpoint: /accounts/self/sshkeys" Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Scott (sparlane)

How to trap aborts caused by TZASC?

by Chenxu Wang

Hi all, I want to test how to trap the aborts caused by TZASC. For example, when I use NS-EL1 (e.g., OS) to access a Secure region (configured in TZASC), it will generate an abort. But I am not sure how to trap it. I think it is an external abort, so I enable the SCR_EL3.EA=1 and write a handler. However I cannot trap it. Also, my other handlers in EL3 still do not report the abort. Thus, how can I trap a TZASC abort? If I want to route it into EL3 to handle, how can I do it? Sincerely, WANG Chenxu
