Hi Rockchip platform maintainers, There's a build issue spotted with GCC11 on rk3399 platform reported here using tip of master: https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/T925 The issue is not breaking the build with earlier gcc versions, but we think the error is legitimate and caused by a mistake in the platform code. Details in the ticket. Any chance for you to have a look? Thanks, Olivier.

MEM_PROTECT for secure world?

by Okash Khawaja

Hi, As a PSCI call, MEM_PROTECT which is used to protect against cold reboot attack, can't be called from TZ-secure. In a situation where at run time, HLOS in NS-EL1 transfers some buffer that it owns, to a secure partition then secure partition can't call MEM_PROTECT because psci_smc_handler will return SMC_UNK if the caller is secure. Should MEM_PROTECT be available to TZ-secure as well? Thanks, Okash

TF-A Tech Forum Agenda @ Thr 6th May 2021 16:00-1700 BST

by Joanna Farley

Hi All, The next TF-A Tech Forum is scheduled for Thu 6th May 2021 16:00 – 17:00 (BST). Agenda: * Discussion Session: Static and Dynamic Information Handling in TF-A * Lead by Manish Pandy and Madhukar Pappireddy · There is ongoing mailing lists discussion[1] related with adopting a mechanism to pass information through boot stages. The requirement is two-fold: 1. Passing static information(config files) 2. Passing dynamic information (Hob list) In the upcoming TF-A tech forum, we can start with a discussion on dynamic information passing and if time permits, we can cover static information passing. The purpose of the call is to have an open discussion and continue the discussion from the trusted-substrate call[2] done earlier. We would like to understand the various requirements and possible ways to implement it in TF-A in a generalized way so that it can work with other Firmware projects. The two specific item which we would like to discuss are: 1. HOB format: TF-A/u-boot both has an existing bloblist implementation, which uses tag values. Question, can this be enhanced to use hybrid values(Tag and UUID) both? 2. Standardization on Physical register use to pass base of HoB data structure.

Re: [TF-A] Run BL33 (u-boot) in EL3

Hi Tien Hock, The maintainers will have more thoughts on this but my $0.02 fwiw. I cannot see why the Trusted Firmware project should carry any option that enables use of EL3 by users who do not care about security. EL3 is not meant to run u-boot with a shell that can be used to fiddle with secure memory.

Question on how enable TF-A SPM on iMX8M

by Jun Nie

Hi, I am trying to enable SPM on iMX8MP platform, which is cortex-A53. The BL2 is already enabled and the dts file is needed. But I am not sure how to write below dts information when I referencing fvp_spmc_manifest.dts. Could you help to give some suggestion or where should I find the anwsers? 1. Is fvp_spmc_manifest.dts enough to enable SPM? I see there are dts files, such as fvp_fw_config.dts. What's necessary dts nodes to enable SPM? 2. Does vcpu_count means CPU number? 3. I see load_address of attribute is optee-os load address. But I do not know how should I decide the load addresses of hypervisors. Is this address decided by virtual machine, or it is decided in runtime? I cannot find the 0x7100000 in trusted-services project. 4. I am confused on "Secure Partitions are bundled as independent package files" in below link. Does this bundle package means fip image, or into another file by jason file? Could you help point to the files and image generation command? https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/blob/master/docs/compo… Regards, Jun

suspend to ram on rk3399 theobroma puma

by Mika Penttilä

Hi all! We are developing a product around the rk3399 Theobroma Q7 module. For power savings, we need S3 sleep (suspend-to-ram). As far as I know, the heart of this is in ATF code. We have linux kernel 5.4, which starts the process nicely, drives down all the other cores and finally calls for the psci suspend. We have wakeup on irq, and it sure wakes up, but does a reset from the very beginning. So no context saving resume. I have tried the newest on the ATF git, with a newish mainline uboot. I suppose the role of uboot is not that important here. What should I look at to find the problem? Has someone got the Q7 module done S3 ok? Finally, how do I get some debug uart output from ATF code? Thanks for any hints! Mika Penttilä
