Re: [TF-M] Change dual-core patch topic name "twincpu" to "dualcpu"

by David Hu (Arm Technology China)

Hi Reed, Thanks for the input. We name the dual-core/multi-core feature control option flag as `TFM_MULTI_CORE_TOPOLOGY` for a general model. But as Chris said, it would require additional work to design and support more complicated scenarios. Thus for the current particular patches for dual-core platform, I'd like to specify the topic a little as "dualcpu".

irqs "source" field

by DeMars, Alan

I think the PSA FF current definition of the "irqs" "source" attribute is needlessly opaque, confusing, and limiting. Why can't there simply be two attributes "irq_number" and "irq_name". "irq_number" corresponds to the CMSIS XYZ_IRQn convention in terms of its interpretation. It can be either a literal number or a manifest constant. "irq_name" is the symbolic name of the ISR as it appears in the user's vector table. That way there is no confusion regarding how they will be used. Alan

Re: [TF-M] Change dual-core patch topic name "twincpu" to "dualcpu"

Just food for thought, but in the future some devices may have more than two cores, but still with one core dedicated to RoT functions. -Reed On 11/8/19, 2:32 AM, "TF-M on behalf of Andrej Butok via TF-M" <tf-m-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org on behalf of tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> wrote: OK.

Patches to share common code between TF-M ITS and SST services

by Jamie Fox

Hi all, The ITS and SST partitions in TF-M share a common implementation for the backend FS and flash layers, but currently this code is duplicated between the two partitions, increasing overall code size. To fix this, it was previously proposed to keep the common code in only the ITS partition, with SST making service requests to ITS to complete FS and flash operations. The patches to implement this are now available for review here: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/2425 https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/2426 The first patch refactors the FS and flash code in ITS to support multiple contexts, with multiple flash devices. The second refactors SST to make requests to ITS instead of calling the FS code directly, and modifies ITS to handle requests that originate from SST with SST's FS context and flash device. This is a fairly significant change to the architecture of the two services, so feedback would be particularly appreciated. Kind regards, Jamie
