Hi Alexei, I'm able to eliminate the warning using the -j .text and see the image load and run ok. The issue I am seeing is that the bsp I am using expects my bot loader bl31.bin to power on the UART and do the low level init that makes PCIe controller accessible. I think at exit from bl31.bin I don't have this initialization. Can you point me the TFA code to enable LPUART and make PCIe controller accessible in imx8qm before handoff to BL33 ?

If you cannot set a breakpoint I would suggest to add a few assembler instructions in the start of your BL33 entry point to write any specific character, e.g. '!' to debug UART data port and branch to the next instruction in an infinite loop with "b .".

Re: [TF-A] BL31 as bootloader

by Alexei Fedorov

Hi Ravi As you can see in debugger that memory at 0x80020000 address is populated correctly, can you set a breakpoint at it to check if execuion reaches it? If you cannot set a breakpoint I would suggest to add a few assembler instructions in the start of your BL33 entry point to write any specific character, e.g. '!' to debug UART data port and branch to the next instruction in an infinite loop with "b .". Seeing ! char on debug console would prove that control to BL33 image has been passed. Regards.

I confirmed from the Debugger that RAM address 0x80020000 is populated.

Now, I think we should be able to handoff since PC (program counter) is set : bl33_image_ep_info.pc = plat_get_ns_image_entrypoint(); I don't see any serial console output using an image that works when using u-boot. I am not using u-boot for certification reasons. Is there some way I can confirm that the handoff is happening from bl31.bin to the App.bin ? At which BL31 function or module does the handoff occur ?

The loading of images (from flash to RAM) is part of BL2 code and in case of directly jumping to BL31, you need a mechanism to Load these images at proper location. Some platforms have a separate firmware which does this before starting execution of BL31, so that when BL31 hands over to BL33 it gets valid image there. thanks Manish ________________________________ From: rkohli2000 gmail <rkohli2000(a)gmail.com<mailto:rkohli2000@gmail.com>> Sent: 23 October 2020 05:08 To: Alexei Fedorov <Alexei.Fedorov(a)arm.com<mailto:Alexei.Fedorov@arm.com>>; Manish Pandey2 <Manish.Pandey2(a)arm.com<mailto:Manish.Pandey2@arm.com>> Cc: tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org<mailto:tf-a@lists.trustedfirmware.org> <tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org<mailto:tf-a@lists.trustedfirmware.org>> Subject: Re: [TF-A] BL31 as bootloader Hi Alexei, Manish, I repeated the test (below) a few times and see the same result.

Re: [TF-A] Questions raised about Measured Boot + fTPM test case

by Alexei Fedorov

Hi Javer, Please see my comments below. [3] Provide platform hooks in tpm_record_measurement function for a platform to actually extend those measurements to a physical TPM right when they are measured. These hooks can be implemented in the next phase #2 of Measured Boot implementation. [4] On platforms that use FCONF, the FW_CONFIG and TB_FW_CONFIG should also be measured since they are images being loaded as well. See arm_bl1_setup.c where these images are loaded but not measured(unless I’m missing something). FW_CONFIG and TB_FW_CONFIG images are loaded by BL1 but not BL2. BL1 calculates BL2 hash and passes the measurement to BL2 in TB_FW_CONFIG. It can also pass FW_CONFIG hash in the same DTB, but it is not clear how own TB_FW_CONFIG hash can be passed in itself. Stuart, do you have opinion on that? Regards.

With regards to the (f)TPM service and as discussed during the last TF-A Tech Forum call, we will discuss internally the need of a new implementation, probably after the next TF-A release, and we will schedule the work (in case we decide to go ahead with it) for the upcoming months. We will announce any decision we make through the mailing list and/or on future TF-A Tech Forum calls . Regarding to changes to TF-A to include extra functionality/APIs/hooks, I guess my colleague Alexei can provide further details about the next features planned for Measured Boot, if any. To finish, I would just like to clarify one of the questions raised on your email: [1] Would be good if the test infrastructure(the TPM TA) can compile in AARCH64. I thought I heard on the tf-a call that there already is a Microsoft FW TPM port for aarch64 already. Please let me know if I misunderstood. * Microsoft has a reference implementation of the TPM 2.0 specification. That implementation is in the form of an architecture agnostic library that implements the specification. Along with the library, there are a couple of example applications for different platforms built around the former, one of them being the fTPM we used for testing. That application was written for AARCH32 and seemed to be outdated (I don't know if it was abandoned, actually), so we updated it and added support for Measured Boot to it.

The modules involved on the interaction with the fTPM (for this particular example) are: * optee.ko: Allows communication between the REE (unsecure world), the Trusted OS (secure world) and the tee-supplicant (unsecure world). * tpm_ftpm_tee.ko: Module to communicate with a firmware TPM through a char device.

As such, we are not providing an fTPM meant to be used on a production environment. Instead, we are using an existing reference implementation to which we added support for Measured Boot to fulfil our needs for the test and use it as a functional example. The implementation details on how to interact with a particular TPM device (either firmware or discrete) can differ from the ones used on the test case as those details can be platform dependent. For example, we use an OPTEE TA fTPM on this example, but other platforms might use a discrete TPM or an fTPM running on a different Trusted OS. B) As stated on the presentation, we are undergoing internal review of the contributions done for the fTPM service to make it compatible with Measured Boot.

Re: [TF-A] BL31 as bootloader

by rkohli2000 gmail

Hi Manish, I have been able to copy the test app (BL33) to entry point address 0x80020000. I confirmed from the Debugger that RAM address 0x80020000 is populated. I had to modify imx-atf makefile target to use the "-data" option as follows: flash_test_8: $(MKIMG) mx8qm-ahab-container.img scfw_tcm.bin bl31.bin App.bin imx8qm-mek-ca53.dtb ./$(MKIMG) -soc QM -rev B0 -append mx8qm-ahab-container.img -c -scfw scfw_tcm.bin -ap bl31.bin a53 0x80000000 -data App.bin 0x80020000 -data imx8qm-mek-ca53.dtb 0x83000000 -out flash.bin The -data option appears to copy the image at the 0x80020000 address. Now, I think we should be able to handoff since PC (program counter) is set : bl33_image_ep_info.pc = plat_get_ns_image_entrypoint(); I don't see any serial console output using an image that works when using u-boot. I am not using u-boot for certification reasons. Is there some way I can confirm that the handoff is happening from bl31.bin to the App.bin ? At which BL31 function or module does the handoff occur ? I don't see my HW breakpoint trigger at location location 0x80020000.

Re: [TF-A] BL31 as bootloader

by rkohli2000 gmail

Hi Alexei, Manish, I repeated the test (below) a few times and see the same result. (1) Do I need to copy my BL33 (non-secure) image from flash.bin some how to RAM 0x80020000 entry point address ? Is there any example of how to copy the flash.bin image ? I not sure what address or where to copy it from. (2) Is there some existing debug code that I can use to dump/print the ARMv8 RAM address space from inside BL31.bin ? I only found some TF-A tf_log macros in debug.h. I would like to dump some memory address contents (like 0x80020000) from inside bl31.bin to console just for debugging at run-time. > On Oct 22, 2020, at 4:28 PM, rkohli2000 gmail via TF-A <tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> wrote: > > Hi Alexei, > > I captured the LOG_LEVEL=50 log (attached putty-ser0.log <https://www.dropbox.com/s/bi3hngmljksxl3a/putty-ser0.log?dl=0>) from TF-A bl31.bin. > I see bl31 boots normally but never hands off to the BL33 normal world image (App.bin) > > The flash.bin image I am running is constructed using imx-mkimage <https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/imx-mkimage/tree/README?h=imx_4.…> tool with the following target: >> flash_test_7: $(MKIMG) mx8qm-ahab-container.img scfw_tcm.bin bl31.bin App.bin imx8qm-mek-ca53.dtb > >> ./$(MKIMG) -soc QM -rev B0 -append mx8qm-ahab-container.img -c -flags 0x00200000 -scfw scfw_tcm.bin -ap bl31.bin a53 0x80000000 -p3 -ap App.bin a53 0x80020000 -data imx8qm-mek-ca53.dtb 0x83000000 -out flash.bin > > > I used UUU tool to flash eMMC with flash.bin on the imx8QM MEK board. > > I inspected RAM using a trace32 debugger SW after using a while (1) to halt the execution at the end of bl31.bin main function (bl31_main()). >> diff --git a/bl31/bl31_main.c b/bl31/bl31_main.c > >> index 92a2027dd..51afb13ea 100644 > >> --- a/bl31/bl31_main.c > >> > >> +++ b/bl31/bl31_main.c > >> @@ -147,6 +147,11 @@ void bl31_main(void) > >> * from BL31 > >> */ > >> bl31_plat_runtime_setup(); > >> + > >> + INFO("BL31: leaving bl31_main\n"); > >> + INFO("entering while(1)\n"); > >> + > >> + while (1) {}; > >> } > > It appears that there's no data or image at 0x80020000 just before exiting bl31_main().

Fwd: BL31 as bootloader

by rkohli2000 gmail

Hi Alexei, I captured the LOG_LEVEL=50 log (attached putty-ser0.log <https://www.dropbox.com/s/bi3hngmljksxl3a/putty-ser0.log?dl=0>) from TF-A bl31.bin. I see bl31 boots normally but never hands off to the BL33 normal world image (App.bin) The flash.bin image I am running is constructed using imx-mkimage <https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/imx-mkimage/tree/README?h=imx_4.…> tool with the following target: > flash_test_7: $(MKIMG) mx8qm-ahab-container.img scfw_tcm.bin bl31.bin App.bin imx8qm-mek-ca53.dtb > ./$(MKIMG) -soc QM -rev B0 -append mx8qm-ahab-container.img -c -flags 0x00200000 -scfw scfw_tcm.bin -ap bl31.bin a53 0x80000000 -p3 -ap App.bin a53 0x80020000 -data imx8qm-mek-ca53.dtb 0x83000000 -out flash.bin I used UUU tool to flash eMMC with flash.bin on the imx8QM MEK board. I inspected RAM using a trace32 debugger SW after using a while (1) to halt the execution at the end of bl31.bin main function (bl31_main()). > diff --git a/bl31/bl31_main.c b/bl31/bl31_main.c > index 92a2027dd..51afb13ea 100644 > --- a/bl31/bl31_main.c > > +++ b/bl31/bl31_main.c > @@ -147,6 +147,11 @@ void bl31_main(void) > * from BL31 > */ > bl31_plat_runtime_setup(); > + > + INFO("BL31: leaving bl31_main\n"); > + INFO("entering while(1)\n"); > + > + while (1) {}; > } It appears that there's no data or image at 0x80020000 just before exiting bl31_main(). See the debugger RAM dump at address 0x80000000 (bl31.bin entry point) and 0x80020000 (BL33 or App.bin normal world app entry point). See the debugger output <https://www.dropbox.com/s/revv4qev2ky5djj/ksnip_20201022-153339.png?dl=0>. When should the flash image provided in flash.bin get copied to the RAM entry point 0x80020000 ? Should bl31.bin copy the image from flash to RAM ? Can you suggest what could be going on ?

Re: [TF-A] BL31 as bootloader

by Alexei Fedorov

Hi Ravi, You can take a look at arm_bl31_early_platform_setup() in plat\arm\common\arm_bl31_setup.c: /* Populate entry point information for BL33 */ SET_PARAM_HEAD(&bl33_image_ep_info, PARAM_EP, VERSION_1, 0); /* * Tell BL31 where the non-trusted software image * is located and the entry state information */ bl33_image_ep_info.pc = plat_get_ns_image_entrypoint(); bl33_image_ep_info.spsr = arm_get_spsr_for_bl33_entry(); SET_SECURITY_STATE(bl33_image_ep_info.h.attr, NON_SECURE); Regards.

I used the NXP provided imx8qm-mek-ca53.dtb file which should match the MEK board. I have tested removing "--data imx8qm-mek-ca53.dtb 0x83000000" (below) as well but no luck. I don't believe PC is getting set to the 0x80020000 entry point. The test image has validated with u-boot using these tftpboot settings: setenv ipaddr x.x.x.x setenv serverip x.x.x.x tftpboot 0xf0000000 App.bin bootm 0xf0000000 I don't see any console output on the screen running it with bl31.bin as below.

Re: [TF-A] BL31 as bootloader

by Manish Pandey2

Hi Ravi, Can you please confirm if control reached "test image" ? I guess, yes, as PC has right value. Also, does your "test image" depends on device tree for console initialization? One thing i see missing in "plat/imx/imx8qm/imx8qm_bl31_setup.c +352" is bl33 header initialization SET_PARAM_HEAD(&bl33_image_ep_info, PARAM_EP, VERSION_1, 0); thanks Manish ________________________________ From: TF-A <tf-a-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> on behalf of rkohli2000 gmail via TF-A <tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Sent: 21 October 2020 00:10 To: Ravi Kohli <rkohli2000(a)gmail.com> Cc: tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org <tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Subject: Re: [TF-A] BL31 as bootloader Hi Alexei, I built my TF-A (imx-atf) b31.bin image using the RESET_TO_BL31 build option for the i.MX8QM MEK dev kit. make DEBUG=1 RESET_TO_BL31=1 PLAT=imx8qm bl31 I used the imx-mkimage tool to generate a flash.bin (flash bootable image) with the following target to run on the MEK: flash_cortex_a53: $(MKIMG) mx8qm-ahab-container.img scfw_tcm.bin bl31.bin MyA53Serial.bin imx8qm-mek-ca53.dtb ./$(MKIMG) -soc QM -rev B0 -append mx8qm-ahab-container.img -c flags 0x00200000 -scfw scfw_tcm.bin -ap bl31.bin a53 0x80000000 -c -p3 -ap MyA53Serial.bin a53 0x80020000 -p4 --data imx8qm-mek-ca53.dtb 0x83000000 -out flash.bin Here, I allocated bl31.bin to boot from 0x80000000 and a test image at BL33 (normal world) entry point 0x80020000 (both for Cortex-A53).
