Hi Amit,

Refer to Arm ARM [1] section D23.2.155 "FIEN, bit [21] is present if FEAT_RASv1p1 is implemented otherwise RES0"

On the page A2-119 In an Armv8.4 implementation, if FEAT_RAS is implemented, FEAT_RASv1p1 is implemented. FEAT_RASv1p1 is OPTIONAL from Armv8.2. Again on page A2-104, FEAT_RAS is mandatory from Armv8.2

Coming to Cortex-A78 [2], it is based on 8.2 and it has fault injection support(section 2.8.7) Reason for no details of SCR in CPU TRMs is becasue it should be read in conjunction with Arm ARM

Hi,

Referring https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/blob/master/docs/gettin... it says : ``FAULT_INJECTION_SUPPORT``: ARMv8.4 extensions introduced support for fault injection from lower Els.

Referring https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/blob/master/lib/el3_run... FAULT_INJECTION_SUPPORT enables FIEN bit. #if FAULT_INJECTION_SUPPORT /* Enable fault injection from lower ELs */ scr_el3 |= SCR_FIEN_BIT; #endif

Question : 1. Do we have any relevant documentation from arm which specifies FIEN bit can be enabled from armv8.4 ?

2. In cortex a-53 technical reference manual, SCR_EL3 does not have FIEN bit , bit 21 is marked reserved . In cortex a-78 technical reference manual , manual does not have details for SCR_EL3 . I want to know whether on Armv8.2-a based cores like cortex a-78 , is the FIEN bit field marked reserved in SCR_EL3 register or is available functionality wise as in armv8.4 ? Please help with above query.

Regards Amit
