Hi
following a mail discussion on trusted-firmware A we will have a
discussion
on HOBs during this week's Trusted Substrate http://trusted-substrate.orgarchitecture council call https://linaro-org.zoom.us/j/94563644892.
In addition to mail thread, here is a deck <

I'll use to start things up.

Dear François,
as long as TF-A uses HOB structures only internally I am not worried.
But when it comes to the interface to other parts of the firmware we should avoid creating multiple parallel interfaces.
The interface between secure firmware and U-Boot is not ARM specific but also exists on RISC-V. Both on ARM and RISC-V we currently use device-trees to transfer system information.
as far as I can see this is a possibility but not a generalized method across all platforms. I wish we could find something standard.
I am missing this on your slide 2 "Overall picture for the discussion".
I cannot see anything stopping TF-A from packaging the information that you want to transfer into the device-tree instead of a EFI_HOB_RESOURCE_DESCRIPTOR.
That is certainly a good method. That DT can even be embedded into a GUID hob.
From the U-Boot side I consider this as the preferred solution.
That is a very valid one. But need consensus. Also the scope and bindings need to be clearly defined
Best regards
