In our use case, we added complete paths to the build area's corresponding directory to the embedded include paths and removed the default generated content from our git repo. Consequently only the newly generated content is found, wherever it happens to be placed.

Subject: Re: [TF-M] [EXTERNAL] Re: out of tree build
Hi all,
I'm having issues on supporting the out of tree build.
So I'd like to propose some additional changes.
What does the out of tree build currently support is that:
The user uses the tfm_parse_manifest_list.py with the custom manifests to generate the customized files to a directory out of TF-M.
And the TF-M build system uses the customized files rather than the pre-generated ones in the TF-M for building.
The problem is that some of the source files include the generated headers using the relative path to where the source itself is.
And the directory of the source file is always searched first.
This makes it impossible to use the generated files outside TF-M even the custom output directory is added to searching list.
So I suggest to put the generated files to a dedicated directory in TF-M.
Then for the default build, add the directory and its subdirectories to the search list for headers.
For out of tree build, use the specified directory and its subdirectories instead.
Then there would only one header file with the same name in all the directories for searching headers.
Any concerns, thoughts or suggestions?
Best Regards,
Kevin

Hi Alan,
I've created a patch for the tfm_parse_manifest_list.py as the first step for the out of tree build support:
https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/2606
The changes for build system is ongoing.
The functionality changes for the tfm_parse_manifest_list.py is the same as your version.
Please have a review and help verify it if possible.
Comments from anyone else are also welcome.
Best Regards,
Kevin

OK.
It's much clearer for me now. Thanks.

1) I verified the tfm_parse_manifest.py script changes using the master branch’s version of the tfm_manifest_list.yaml and tfm_generated_file_list.yaml files.
2) Yes, I’m building using the unmodified master branch’s cmake build system.
3) Just as all other build artifacts are placed in the user’s build directory and NOT in the source tree, the generated files should also. Otherwise, the user is required to update the source tree’s tfm_manifest_list.yaml and tfm_generated_file_list.yaml files to build a custom SPE, with the generated files also ending up in the source tree. The files necessary to create a custom SPE should not be kept in the source tree. Nor should the generated content be inserted in the source tree. This creates headaches for maintaining the original source tree.

Hi all,
As mentioned in the TF-M workshop in Lyon last month, we propose to kick
off the TF-M Technical Forum meeting, starting on the 5th December. This is
an open forum for anyone to participate and it is not restricted to TF
members. It will operate under the guidance of the TF TSC.
- Due to expected attendees from Asia, Europe and the Americas, the
timeslot is challenging. We hope it's not too difficult for anyone - we can
review after the first couple of meetings.
- Initially we propose a bi-weekly call and then we'll change cadence
depending on interest
For more details of the call click on the Google Calendar image at
https://www.trustedfirmware.org/meetings/tf-m-technical-forum/
Best regards

Hi,
A new tag TF-Mv1.0-RC3 was created last Friday. The main change since RC2 is that it provides support for integrated Cryptocell-312 cryptographic hardware accelerator on MuscaB1e platform.
This enables TF-M to make use of Cryptocell-312 (CC-312) for crypto acceleration during Secure boot and runtime. TF-M is also can use the provisioned HUK (Hardware Unique Key), Attestation key and RoTPK (Root of Trust Public Key) in Cryptocell's OTP memory.
