Hi, I recently started seeing a build error for PSE84. "git bisect" tells me that it was introduced in c2fc818e. The error is from cmake, complaining about a circular dependency. The error message itself is extremely long, so I've attached it as a separate file. Chris

TF-M transition to TF-PSACrypto

by Anton Komlev

Hi everyone, We are happy to announce that TF-M has transitioned to a standalone PSA Crypto component (TF-PSACrypto), a major milestone in the project’s development. TF-PSACrypto provides a reference PSACrypto implementation that is separated from the MbedTLS project. There are a few known issues, including platform support, which we expect to address before the next TF-M release. Thanks to everyone involved in the development, review and testing, especially the PSA Crypto team for releasing TF-PSACrypto and David Vincze for adapting TF-M to it. As always, we welcome feedback from the community. Best regards, Anton

Race condition in SPM scheduler lock logic

by Bohdan.Hunko＠infineon.com

Hi all, I have found a bug in SPM scheduler lock logic – this bug is extremely hard to reproduce as it requires precise conditions and timings, but here is the description of the bug scenario: 1. Partition A calls psa_wait to wait for a signal (this signal is going to be asserted by FLIH IRQ later) 2. Currently signal is not asserted, no other partition is runnable, thus SPM marks this signal as being awaited and then schedules idle_thread 3. idle_thread calls psa_wait to poll SPM * psa_wait calls tfm_arch_thread_fn_call * tfm_arch_thread_fn_call calls backend_abi_entering_spm * backend_abi_entering_spm calls arch_acquire_sched_lock * arch_acquire_sched_lock sets scheduler_lock = SCHEDULER_LOCKED * psa_wait (called by idle_partition) is being processed up to the point of backend_abi_leaving_spm * backend_abi_leaving_spm calls arch_release_sched_lock * here is where very sneaky the bug happens * arch_release_sched_lock executes following assembly instructions i. "ldr r1, =scheduler_lock \n" "ldr r0, [r1, #0] \n" ii. At this point r0 holds scheduler_lock is = SCHEDULER_LOCKED iii. After these instructions are executed FLIH interrupt arrives * FLIH handler asserts signal (which should unblock execution of the Partition A) * spm_handle_interrupt calls backend_assert_signal * backend_assert_signal does if (p_pt->signals_asserted & p_pt->signals_waiting) and returns STATUS_NEED_SCHEDULE * spm_handle_interrupt calls arch_attempt_schedule * arch_attempt_schedule checks value of scheduler_lock (which is SCHEDULER_LOCKED) and sets scheduler_lock= SCHEDULER_ATTEMPTED * Interrupt returns iv. Execution continues, now scheduler_lock is = SCHEDULER_ATTEMPTED But the next line of code in arch_release_sched_lock is "movs r2, #"M2S(SCHEDULER_UNLOCKED)" \n"/* Unlock scheduler */ This effectively overwrites scheduler_lock from SCHEDULER_ATTEMPTED to SCHEDULER_UNLOCKED This means that following SRM scheduling logic will not trigger PendSV and just return to idle_partition – effectively resulting in a hang of a system. Looks like the solution is to wrap lock logic in critical section. But may be there is other things that can be done to better fix this issue. Let me know if there are other details that may be helpful to fix this bug.

IAR build seems to be broken

by Bohdan.Hunko＠infineon.com

Hi all I see that https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m/+/44534 added tfm_s_build_flags for all the compilers except IAR After version update - in our CI we see: Fatal error[Ms007]: could not open file "libtfm_s_build_flags.a" Is this intentional change or IAR file was just missed and the change should also be added for IAR?

Upstreaming of MISRA fixes

by Bohdan.Hunko＠infineon.com

Hi, In our local copy of TFM we are running Coverity tools which performs MISRA, CERT-C and CODING static analysis checks on TFM codebase (I will refer to this as MISRA fixes for simplicity). During our development we did a bunch of fixes for the violations (not all rules but still significant number of changes). Most of these changes are small (e.g. U/UL postfixes, fixed width types usage, header file fixes etc…). When we do version updates or generally port code between upstream and local copy of TFM we have to deal with merge conflicts in these lines effected by MISRA fixes. To avoid these issues we would like to push these fixes upstream. There are quite a few changes and having everything in one patch will really simplify our work as we would not have to divide the changes. We would like to know whether creating one bigger patch with all the changes would be acceptable for the review?

[RD-V3 / rdv3r1] Question regarding Firmware Update Service support

by 박진국

Hello everyone, I am inquiring about the Firmware Update (FWU) service configuration on the *rdv3r1* (Neoverse RD-V3) platform. While building TF-M for the rdv3r1 target, I noticed that the *TFM Firmware Update Partition* is missing from the Secure Partitions list, even though I enabled the relevant CMake flags. Upon investigation, it seems that the build system is using the platform-specific manifest list located at: /tf-m/platform/ext/target/arm/rse/neoverse_rd/common/manifest/tfm_manifest_list.yaml Instead of the generic tf-m/tools/tfm_manifest_list.yaml. The issue is that the platform-specific manifest list appears to lack the definition for the FWU partition. Consequently, the files under generated/secure_fw/partitions/firmware_update/auto_generated are not being generated. Could you please clarify if the Firmware Update Service is currently not supported on the Neoverse RD environment? Or is there a specific configuration required to enable it? Thank you. Best regards, *JK Park*

Re: Handling the SAM partial write

by 김륜현

It seems that something issue occurs in mailing system. Anyway, i checked Amjad's answer in "Re: TF-M Digest, Vol 87, Issue 11".  Also, i checked M-AXI that can issue 64bit transaction for normal memory in Cortex-M55 TRM. As you mentioned, the core performs 32bit write-back and actual write to SRAM is performed as 64bit transaction using the cache and M-AXI between the 32bit core and the SRAM. But, another issue remains  Crypto Cell-312 internal DMA has hardware fixed 32bit data width. It raise partial write event when doing decryption to provisioning data. Example for this issue can be founded in validate_and_unpack_encrypted_bundle()(a)bl1_provisioning.c. To transfer decrypted output to SRAM, it uses internal DMA in CC312. Should i apply any way to workaround such as no using CC312 DMA or modifying bus width in our situation?

Issue with absolute paths in exported targets

by Bohdan.Hunko＠infineon.com

Hi all, I have noticed an issue with absolute paths in exported targets: Background: 1. During Secure build some header file paths are added to include directories of tfm_config (and some other targets) – for example TARGET_CONFIG_HEADER_FILE, PROJECT_CONFIG_HEADER_FILE 2. Then tfm_config is exported to install directory and is used in Non-Secure build There are several issues here: 1. In Non-Secure build exported tfm_config uses absolute paths that ware defined during secure build. This is an issue as NS-interface (api_ns folder) may be built on another machine. 2. Also looking into api_ns folder – I don’t see those files being exported (for example TARGET_CONFIG_HEADER_FILE, PROJECT_CONFIG_HEADER_FILE are not exported to api_ns) * Looking into a code I was able to identify at least these defines that are effected (but list may be longer): i. TARGET_CONFIG_HEADER_FILE ii. PROJECT_CONFIG_HEADER_FILE iii. MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG_FILE iv. MBEDTLS_CONFIG_FILE Is there a plan to somehow solve this issue? If so, then what is the schedule on it?

Re: TF-M Digest, Vol 87, Issue 11

by Amjad Ouled-Ameur

Hi RyunHyeon, Thanks for raising this, your understanding is correct. On RSE with ECC-protected SRAM, partial writes (e.g. 32-bit stores) cannot update ECC atomically. When SAM partial-write detection is enabled, the firmware must perform a read–modify–write of the full ECC granule (64 bits) to recompute and restore a valid ECC value. Doing this in software for every partial access would indeed be prohibitively expensive, especially for stack and heap usage where 32-bit accesses are very frequent on Cortex-M55. To avoid this overhead while keeping SAM enabled, the recommended approach is to place a cache between the Cortex-M55 and the SRAM. The CPU can continue to issue 32-bit accesses, while the cache aggregates them and performs aligned 64-bit transactions toward SRAM. From the SRAM/SAM point of view, accesses are full-width and generate valid ECC, so SAM partial-write events are avoided in the common case. With this setup, SRAM can safely be used as a normal data region, without the performance penalty you described. Disabling SAM or avoiding SRAM for data is not the intended solution. I hope this clarifies the design intent.

Question about HW OTP Keys (KCE_CM, KP_CM, KCE_DM, KP_DM) usage in RD-V3-R1

by 김준영

Hello, I am an RSE firmware developer currently working on the Neoverse Reference Design Platform (RD-V3-R1). I have a few questions regarding the four hardware keys stored in OTP: KCE_CM, KP_CM, KCE_DM, and KP_DM. My understanding is based on the following documents: - Arm® Lifecycle Manager Version 1.0 Specification   (Issue 02, 107616_0000_02_en) - RD-V3-R1 reference documentation – RSE / Keys section   (https://neoverse-reference-design.docs.arm.com/en/rd-infra-2025.07.03/share…) According to the LCM specification, KP_CM and KP_DM are described as "Provisioning Keys". However, in the RD-V3-R1 TF-M v2.1.1 implementation, these keys do not appear to be used. Additionally, KCE_DM is documented as "DM code encryption key, currently unused". Q1. Is it valid and compliant with the intended reference design and     specification to provision KP_CM, KP_DM, and KCE_DM with dummy values? Regarding KCE_CM: Both the LCM specification and the RD-V3-R1 documentation describe KCE_CM as a "Code Encryption Key", but I could not find a clear specification defining which OTP assets are expected to be encrypted using this key. In the current TF-M implementation, KCE_CM is used to encrypt: - KEY_BL2_ENCRYPTION - KEY_SECURE_ENCRYPTION - KEY_NON_SECURE_ENCRYPTION Q2. Is KCE_CM intended to protect exactly these three items?     If so, which specification or document defines this behavior? Q3. The LCM specification states that KCE_CM should be used for     key derivation purposes only.     However, in TF-M, KCE_CM does not appear to be used as an input to a KDF at all;      instead, it is used directly as an AES encryption key for protecting OTP-related assets.     Is this direct usage considered compliant with the intended LCM     security model, or is a product-grade implementation expected to     introduce an explicit key derivation step before using KCE_CM     for encryption? Any clarification on the design intent would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and support.

Re: Several Questions related to RSE Provisioning

by 김태훈

Hi Jackson, Thanks for fast response. I shall combine the points requested in your previous reply with the questions that have arisen while reviewing the code since then, and respond accordingly. 1. TF-A has APIs for using Host RoTPKs stored in RSE TF-M. These calls are classified by enum in platform/ext/target/arm/rse/common/platform_builtin_key_loader_ids.h. Then I found out that some changes happened in this code. (If uploaded images aren't shown, please let me know. This image is about code change of platform_builtin_key_loader_ids.h.) That's the point that I asked before. However, in this code, RSE_ROTPK_CM_HOST_AMOUNT and RSE_ROTPK_DM_HOST_AMOUNT are only defined in platform/ext/target/arm/rse/common/subplatform_pal_default_config/rse_rotpk_config.h. I understand that one CM ROTPK and two DM ROTPK substitute previous Host RotPKs, but don't understand why. I think this part is for Chain-of-Trust in whole firmware stack including TF-A, TF-M and TF-RMM. - Is it acceptable to use that ROTPKs as trust anchors for the Host's CoT, as was done previously? - Is this definition used as-is during the build process, located in the subplatform folder for the quantity of the relevant ROTPK? - What is the purpose of the 'subplatform' definition? 2. There were several CCA assets in the provisioning bundle. These assets include implementation identifier, platform definition, and verification service URL. I can't find field for these assets in the OTP layout in TF-Mv.2.2.2.  Have they completely disappeared? Otherwise, how can it be set? I'm a bit embarrassed that they're not visible. I'm always grateful for your efforts in maintaining this project. I realise that waiting for the next version of RDINFRA might actually be the better answer, but I wish to understand the code without relying on that. Thank you. ----- 원본 메시지 ----- 보낸 사람: Jackson Cooper-Driver via TF-M <tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> 받는 사람: 김태훈 <gth1919@adtek.co.kr>,tf-m@lists.trustedfirmware.org <tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> 날짜: 2025-12-12 19:28:53 제목: [TF-M] Re: Several Questions related to RSE Provisioning Hi TH Kim, Thanks for getting in touch, please see my answers below.

I am currently reviewing the code to upgrade the version of TF-M used in our product from 2.1.1 to 2.2.2. In this process, I have a few questions and am sending this email. 1. In the previous TF-Mv2.1.1, there were dummy files for the data structure of the bundle to be provisioned to the OTP during CM and DM state. I have discovered that the method for creating the bundle has changed significantly in the TF-Mv2.2.2, but there are still parts I cannot locate: Host RoTPKs (for secure, non-secure, and CCA). This parts were provisioned during the DM provisioning process in the TF-Mv2.1.1 with a size of each 96B. I am curious how this parts are implemented in 2.2.2. >> In TF-Mv2.2.2, we currently only provision a small number of the CM ROTPK slots and do not provision any DM ROTPKs. It is possible that we might decide to add more ROTPKs in the future for use by the host, but that is not currently implemented. The keys themselves would be specific to the platform. 1-1. When TF-A sends a PSA call to the RSE, it distinguishes which Host RoTPK to request from the RSE via persistent key identifiers. I am also curious about how this aspect is handled within the RSE TF-M. (Should this fall outside the scope of the TF-M project, please disregard this point.) >> Can you point me to the code that does this in TF-A and then I can help you trace it back to how the RSE handles this? 2. In the latest TF-Mv2.2.2, as mentioned earlier, the data structure for the Provisioning value appears to have undergone significant changes. Reviewing the code, I observed that the CM and DM Provisioning values contain multiple RoTPK areas. Some are used to verify the signatures of the BL2 and PE, but many are not. Are the unused fields simply reserved for future use, or spares? Each area can contain up to four RoTPK Hashes, and in the case of DM, there are as many as eight such areas, which appears to be a significant waste of space. I would like to understand what scenarios this design anticipates. >> The intention of the additional ROTPK arrays is to allow for key revocation should a key become compromised. Should this be required, then the entire array (of up to four hashes) will be revoked and a new array provisioned. Additional unused key slots within a single ROTPK array are reserved for potential future use. 3. To obtain information about RSE, I have been referring to the content of the official documentation. However, when comparing it to the current latest release, the documentation appears to remain based on a previous version. For example, For example, despite the code for the GPIO signal indicating the status for RSE Provisioning having been removed in the latest version, the documentation still retains that content. I would like to know specifically whether there are plans to update this documentation. >> Apologies for this, we have been slow to update the RSE public documentation. Please do continue to point out any issues and we will update them. We are updating the docs piecemeal and it is a slow process. Please bear with us on this. Truthfully, I suspect all these questions could be answered by better understanding the code, which makes me hesitant to send an email. However, due to various constraints, I kindly ask for your understanding regarding my posting this query on the forum. Thank you. Best Regard, TH Kim Best Regard, TH Kim

-Warray-parameter issue : tool version to update

by Ronan GABOU

Hello All, I hope it is the correct process to inform you than I got an issue and how I solved it I was using tools GNU Arm compiler version minimum 10.3.2021.10 as mentioned on TFM web But with latest TFM on main branch I had a build error dur to -Warray-parameter (only with GNU it is ok with IAR and CLANG that seems normal) I moved to GNU 14.3.1 (arm-gnu-toolchain-14.3.rel1-mingw-w64-x86_64-arm-none-eabi.exe as I’m using windows) and my problem was solved 😊 So I think the minimal version on TFM web is no more valid.

Truthfully, I suspect all these questions could be answered by better understanding the code, which makes me hesitant to send an email. However, due to various constraints, I kindly ask for your understanding regarding my posting this query on the forum. Thank you.Best Regard, TH Kim

Issue with absolute paths in exported targets

by Bohdan.Hunko＠infineon.com

Hi all, I have noticed an issue with absolute paths in exported targets: Background: 1. During Secure build some header file paths are added to include directories of tfm_config (and some other targets) – for example TARGET_CONFIG_HEADER_FILE, PROJECT_CONFIG_HEADER_FILE 2. Then tfm_config is exported to install directory and is used in Non-Secure build There are several issues here: 1. In Non-Secure build exported tfm_config uses absolute paths that ware defined during secure build. This is an issue as NS-interface (api_ns folder) may be built on another machine. 2. Also looking into api_ns folder – I don’t see those files being exported (for example TARGET_CONFIG_HEADER_FILE, PROJECT_CONFIG_HEADER_FILE are not exported to api_ns) * Looking into a code I was able to identify at least these defines that are effected (but list may be longer): i. TARGET_CONFIG_HEADER_FILE ii. PROJECT_CONFIG_HEADER_FILE iii. MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG_FILE iv. MBEDTLS_CONFIG_FILE Is there a plan to somehow solve this issue? If so, then what is the schedule on it?

Update to TF-M Technical Forum Scheduling

by Anton Komlev

Hi All, I wanted to inform you about a change to the TF-M Technical Forum meeting schedule. Previously, we held sessions every two weeks, alternating between Eastern and Western-friendly time zones to accommodate our global audience. After reviewing participation patterns we've decided to simplify the schedule to a monthly cadence, with meetings held in a Western-friendly time slot. We hope this update makes participation more predictable and better aligned with current engagement. Everyone is still very welcome to attend, and as always, recordings and notes will be available for those unable to join live. Best regards, Anton

TFM_VERSION

by Chris.Brand＠infineon.com

I notice that TFM_VERSION_MANUAL gets set to "2.2.1" in both release/2.2.x and in main. Granted, the hash gets appended to make TFM_VERSION, and there's some reading of git tags involved that can override TFM_VERSION_MANUAL, but it still feels odd that both identify as the "same" version. Perhaps main should be flagged as being the "next" version as soon as the previous version branch has been created? So we would tag main as v2.3.pre or something. Either that or something that identifies as *not* being a regular release. Chris

IAR + FIH issue

by Bohdan.Hunko＠infineon.com

Hi all, I am trying to build TFM with IAR with TFM_FIH_PROFILE=HIGH and I am facing the issue with the FIH labels. I see following errors: [ 98%] Linking C executable ../bin/tfm_s.axf Error[Li006]: duplicate definitions for "FIH_LABEL_FIH_CALL_END_46_1"; in "main.o(libtfm_spm.a)", and "tfm_hal_platform.o(libtfm_spm.a)" Error[Li006]: duplicate definitions for "FIH_LABEL_FIH_CALL_START_46_1"; in "main.o(libtfm_spm.a)", and "tfm_hal_platform.o(libtfm_spm.a)" Error[Li006]: duplicate definitions for "FIH_LABEL_FIH_CALL_END_35_0"; in "tfm_hal_platform.o(libtfm_spm.a)", and "platform_svc_handler.o(libtfm_spm.a)" Error[Li006]: duplicate definitions for "FIH_LABEL_FIH_CALL_START_35_0"; in "tfm_hal_platform.o(libtfm_spm.a)", and "platform_svc_handler.o(libtfm_spm.a)" I did some investigations and I believe I know the root cause: Looks like __COUNTER__ for IAR is unique only for a translation unit (.c file) - thus when 2 files have FIH call in same line with the same number of FIH calls before - it creates a label which overlaps with labels in other file. For example tfm_hal_platform.c in our case has first FIH CALL in line 46 (which creates label FIH_LABEL_FIH_CALL_END_46_1) but main.c in our code also has first FIH CALL in line 46 which also results in FIH_LABEL_FIH_CALL_END_46_1 label. The question is - how can we solve this issue? Any ideas I can try?

Upcoming TF-M Minor Releases: v2.1.4 and v2.2.2

by Anton Komlev

Hello, We're preparing two new minor releases: v2.1.4 and v2.2.2. Both releases update TF-M to include MbedTLS v3.6.5, which brings several vulnerability fixes and fix of the bug reported in v2.2.1. Following a successful dry-run test we'll publish Release Candidate (RC1) followed by the final release. As these are minor updates, we don't expect platform-specific testing, assuming the changes are platform-independent and that our CI coverage will be sufficient. However, please feel free to reach out if you have any concerns or foresee any platform impact. Thank you and best regards, Anton

TF-M with Zephyr port of MCUboot

by Ozer, Sadik

Hi TF-M team, In our product, we intend to use the vanilla MCUboot (specifically the Zephyr port) instead of the version bundled with Trusted Firmware-M (TF-M). Since TF-M is optional for our use case, but MCUboot is a mandatory component, we prefer to decouple the two. Seems there are some provisioning related items that need to be handled in vanilla MCUboot for this type of usage. We would like to know if you foresee any security concerns or risks associated with this approach? Is this an expected of a usage? Any feedback for this type of usage would be appreciated. Thanks Sadik

Open CI testing infrastructure is currently experiencing issues

by Anton Komlev

Hello, The Open CI testing infrastructure is currently experiencing issues due to an FVP licensing problem. Image builds remain operational but FVP-based tests are failing, which causes all build jobs to be marked as failed. The Open CI team is actively working to resolve the issue. An update will be shared once normal operation is restored. Thanks, Anton

FIH code sharing

by Chris.Brand＠infineon.com

Hi, Currently TF-M and mcuboot have some "common" FIH code (see for example commit 0a74c1ea8a0c0783a2914d87cd2e88b677718a2e that copied fih.{c|h} from mcuboot. There are also multiple copies of fih.h within the TF-M repo (lib/fih/inc and bl2/ext/mcuboot/include). Are there any plans to avoid having copies of that code? Maybe to split the FIH library into its own repo that can be used by both TF-M and mcuboot? Thanks, Chris

Question on pka_ec_wrst_smul_scap.c in CryptoCell3xx Runtime

by Sato, Masaki

Hi TFM Developer Forum Organizer, I'm currently integrating the CryptoCell3xx Runtime code for ECDSA hardware acceleration and have a question regarding the implementation. I'm not entirely sure if this is the right list to post to - perhaps it belongs in mbed-tls or psa-crypto instead - so please forgive me and suggest the right list if this is not the appropriate forum. I noticed that the repository contains two variants of pka_ec_wrst_smul: one under no_scap and another under scap, located in /lib/ext/cryptocell-312-runtime/codesafe/src/crypto_api/pki/ec_wrst/. From the filenames and comments, it appears that scap.c is the Side-Channel Attack (SCA)-resistant version, and would therefore be preferred for end-user products where stronger security is prioritized over performance. However, in the current version of pka_ec_wrst_smul_scap.c from the main open-source branch, I found a couple of apparent typos/bugs that cause compilation errors: Line 239: should probably be PkaAddJcbJcb2Mdf(EC_SIGN_REG_XS, EC_SIGN_REG_YS, EC_SIGN_REG_ZS, EC_SIGN_REG_TS, EC_SIGN_REG_XS, EC_SIGN_REG_YS, EC_SIGN_REG_ZS, EC_SIGN_REG_X2, EC_SIGN_REG_T2, EC_SIGN_REG_Z2); (currently missing the leading "P".) Lines 389 and 391: the output parameters are declared as const, which seems incorrect. For example: CCError_t PkaEcWrstScalarMult(const CCEcpkiDomain_t *pDomain, /*!< [in] Pointer to EC domain. */ const uint32_t *scalar, /*!< [in] Pointer to the scalar buffer. */ uint32_t scalSizeInWords, /*!< [in] Size of the scalar in 32-bit words. */ uint32_t *inPointX, /*!< [in] Pointer to input point X coordinate. */ const uint32_t *inPointY, /*!< [in] Pointer to input point Y coordinate. */ const uint32_t *outPointX, /*!< [out] Pointer to output point X coordinate. */ The const qualifier on the output parameters seems unintended and rather for inPointX. Because of these issues, it seems this file might not have been recently reviewed or tested. So, my questions are: 1. Is the CryptoCell312 Runtime actively maintained and tested in a specific branch where these typos/bugs are already fixed? If so, could you please share which branch that is? 2. If not, it seems that CMake currently only selects the no_scap variant. Does this mean the scap variant is not actively maintained or tested, and therefore not recommended for production use due to higher risk? Thanks in advance for your help and clarification. Best regards, Masaki Sato (P.S. I have sent this message from proofpoint TFM list by "Start a new thread" button. However, I don't see a record on the "posting activity" under my account profile nor active discussion list. Pardon me, but I'm a newbie to this forum, so please forgive me to send the same message by email. ________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email and any attachments are for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and contain information that may be Garmin confidential and/or Garmin legally privileged.

TFM fails to compile asm (.s) file for CM55 core

by Bohdan.Hunko＠infineon.com

Hi all, I see that https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m/+/31942 changes the way ASM files are built for Clang, this seems to cause the issues in our build: I am trying to compile following file https://github.com/Infineon/mtb-dsl-pse8xxgp/blob/master/pdl/drivers/source… for cortex-m55<https://github.com/Infineon/mtb-dsl-pse8xxgp/blob/master/pdl/drivers/source…> CPU but I get following errors: armclang: error: armasm does not support CPU 'cortex-m55' armclang: error: armasm does not support FPU 'unknown' cmd.txt shows full compile command for this file. I suppose this is because -masm=armasm does not support CM55 core? Any ideas how to fix this?

Rollback protection in Internal Trusted Storage

by Bojan Simoneta

Dear TF-M Community, I have a question regarding rollback protection in Internal Trusted Storage. Scenario: Recently we are seeing an increasing number of products which will come to market without internal Flash; together with this, there is also the requirement to store permanent keys using PSA key management APIs as psa_import_key, which will then in turn use Internal Trusted Storage as place where keys will be written. Considering these requirements there is a necessity to implement the Internal Trusted Storage in external Flash, which brings with it security challenges: the keys stored in external Flash would require confidentiality but also rollback protection. The encryption of ITS encryption was recently enabled as you can see in the following Pull request https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m/+/15096, but rollback protection is not yet implemented. Proposal: Our proposal would be to: - Add ITS rollback protection as optional feature, since it is not desired feature for product where the ITS storage is internal - Add rollback protection mechanism to Internal Trusted Storage functions relying on the NV counters APIs called from the platform layer, similar as is already done for Protected Storage Also, we are open to discuss any other proposal which would help us to fulfill the above requests (ITS in external Flash with still providing confidentiality and rollback protection). Thanks in advance for the answer and further guidance on the topic.

TF-M CI Coverity changes

by Matt Dalzell

Hi all, We are considering moving the TF-M Coverity scan (the results from https://ci.trustedfirmware.org/view/TF-M/job/tf-m-coverity/) to a private instance. I am sending this out to find out if anyone who is external to Arm uses these results, or would like to see the results in the future. If there is interest in keeping the public one working then we can have both the private and public ones running alongside each other to keep the results visible. Please let me know if you are a user of the current Coverity system, or wish to be able to view the results in the future so the jobs can be configured accordingly. If no interest is shown then the Coverity scan will be switched over to only the private instance. Thanks, Matt Dalzell - Arm

Update: TF-M now uses Python packaging for modules and scripts

by Mudit Sharma

Hi all, TF-M has recently introduced Python packaging for its modules and scripts. If you’re building the latest TF-M mainline, you’ll need to install them by running the following command from the root of the TF-M repository (using a virtual environment is recommended): ``` pip install . ``` or ``` # `-e` installs modules and scripts in editable/development mode i.e. source edits are automatically reflected in your dev environment pip install -e . ``` NOTE: You'll have to re-run the above command every time a new module is added, module is renamed or a new dependency is added. The documentation [1] has been updated with more details. In addition, new guidelines are now available [2] for adding new scripts and modules. Thank you. Best regards, Mudit Sharma [1]: https://trustedfirmware-m.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/index.ht… [2]: https://trustedfirmware-m.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contributing/python_scri…

by Takekazu Tabata (Fujitsu)

Dear TF-M Team, I'm Takekazu Tabata, a director and architect from the Fujitsu processor team. We are currently developing FUJITSU-MONAKA, which supports the CCA feature. We have three questions regarding the TF-M documents and TF-M implementations. We would greatly appreciate it if you could provide answers. Question 1) In the TF-M document “RSE provisioning”, The CM provisioning Key is used to encrypt DM Provisioning Bundle. https://trustedfirmware-m.readthedocs.io/en/latest/platform/arm/rse/rse_pro… After the cold reset, the RSE will automatically transition to Device Manufacturer provisioning state “DM” as the LCM hardware state-machine reads the values of the cm_config_1 and cm_config_2 fields as non-zero. This state is designed to provision the DM provisioning key, the DM code-encryption key and the DM config. The procedure follows the same steps as the CM provisioning flow, with the exception that the bundle will now be encrypted and signed using the CM provisioning key and must be placed at the base of VM1. However, the purpose of the data provided in the DM is not described in this document. These data are not used in the source code of TF-M v2.2.0. DM provisioning is probably assumed to be done during device manufacturing, but could you explain the purpose in more detail? Also, What are the DM provisioning key, the DM code-encryption key and the DM config used for? Question 2) In the TF-M document “RSE integration guide”, attestation key(CPAK) is derived by GUK. https://trustedfirmware-m.readthedocs.io/en/latest/platform/arm/rse/rse_int…<https://trustedfirmware-m.readthedocs.io/en/latest/platform/arm/rse/rse_int…> The GUK is a key unique to a group of chips that have identical security properties, used to derive the attestation key. However, CPAK is derived from HUK in the source code of TF-M. GUK in the specification is a typo. https://git.trustedfirmware.org/plugins/gitiles/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m.git…<https://git.trustedfirmware.org/plugins/gitiles/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m.git…> /* This derives from HUK, there is a typo in the spec, not from GUK. * FixMe: this should be configurable per platform */ return setup_key_from_derivation(KMU_HW_SLOT_HUK, NULL, iak_seed_label, sizeof(iak_seed_label), NULL, 0, RSE_KMU_SLOT_CPAK_SEED, /* FixMe: The slot needs rename to IAK_SEED */ &aes_key0_export_config, NULL, false, boot_state_config); Which is right, GUK or HUK? If it‘s HUK (not Virtual HUK), is it no problem that multiple CPAKs are generated in Multi-socket systems? Question 3) In the CM/DM lifecycle state, is it no problem to create an original provisioning bundle to run chip or device verification programs in PE? Thank you for your time and assistance. Best regards, TABATA

Clarification on IRQ Preemption of Secure User Context by Non-Secure Interrupts

by Waqar Ali Tahir

Dear TF-M Community, I have a question regarding a specific use case involving interrupt handling and domain preemption in a TrustZone-enabled system using TF-M. In the scenario where the processor is executing within a Secure user context (e.g., during Secure Partition execution), is it possible for an interrupt assigned to the Non-Secure domain to pre-empt this Secure execution? * Does TF-M support such preemption by default? * If not supported out-of-the-box, what modifications or configuration changes would be required within TF-M to enable this behavior? Any guidance on how TF-M manages interrupt priority and security attribution in this context would be greatly appreciated.

Re: RSE booting with HardFault issue when TRAM enabled

by 김륜현

Hi Raef, I share the issue while applying shared patchset. Because a variable 'dma_channel_amount' is used after the DMA wipe DTCM,   it causes that dma_channel_amount have wrong data when waiting for DMA channel finish.     /* Configure all DMA channels to wipe the DTCM with the random value in parallel. */     for (int idx = 0; idx < dma_channel_amount; idx++) {         /* DMA channel configuration to wipe DTCM*/     }     /* Wait for all the DMA channels to finish */     for (int idx = 0; idx < dma_channel_amount; idx++) { // Error occurs at here         while ((*((volatile uint32_t *)(DMA_350_BASE_S + 0x1000 + 0x100 * idx + 0x000)) & 0x1) != 0) {}     } So i have chosen a way that use defined value using #define like below.     /* Enable the TRAM */     *(volatile uint32_t *)(TRAM_BASE_S + 0x004) = 0x00000001;     /* Generate the TRAM erase random value */     tram_erase_value = *((volatile uint32_t *)(CC3XX_BASE_S + 0x124));     /* Configure all DMA channels to wipe the DTCM with the random value in parallel. */     for (int idx = 0; idx < DMA350_DMA0_CHANNEL_COUNT; idx++) {         /* LINKADDR must be cleared because the command linking is used in DMA H/W boot. */         *(volatile uint32_t *)(DMA_350_BASE_S + 0x1000 + 0x100 * idx + 0x078) = 0x00000000;                   *(volatile uint32_t *)(DMA_350_BASE_S + 0x1000 + 0x100 * idx + 0x038) = tram_erase_value;         *(volatile uint32_t *)(DMA_350_BASE_S + 0x1000 + 0x100 * idx + 0x02c) = 0x000F0044;         *(volatile uint32_t *)(DMA_350_BASE_S + 0x1000 + 0x100 * idx + 0x018) =             DTCM_CPU0_BASE_S + (DTCM_SIZE / DMA350_DMA0_CHANNEL_COUNT * idx);         *(volatile uint32_t *)(DMA_350_BASE_S + 0x1000 + 0x100 * idx + 0x030) = 0x00010000;         *(volatile uint32_t *)(DMA_350_BASE_S + 0x1000 + 0x100 * idx + 0x020) =             (DTCM_SIZE / sizeof(uint64_t) / DMA350_DMA0_CHANNEL_COUNT) << 16;         *(volatile uint32_t *)(DMA_350_BASE_S + 0x1000 + 0x100 * idx + 0x024) = 0x00000000;         *(volatile uint32_t *)(DMA_350_BASE_S + 0x1000 + 0x100 * idx + 0x00c) = 0x01200603;         *(volatile uint32_t *)(DMA_350_BASE_S + 0x1000 + 0x100 * idx + 0x008) = 0x00000000;         *(volatile uint32_t *)(DMA_350_BASE_S + 0x1000 + 0x100 * idx + 0x000) = 0x00000001;     }     /* Wait for all the DMA channels to finish */     for (int idx = 0; idx < DMA350_DMA0_CHANNEL_COUNT; idx++) {         while ((*((volatile uint32_t *)(DMA_350_BASE_S + 0x1000 + 0x100 * idx + 0x000)) & 0x1) != 0) {}     } Please refer to it.

In future we plan to remove the commands to generate the TRAM key, set the TRAM key, initialize the TRAM and erase the TRAM from the DMA ICS. This way it will always be handled in SW. The issue we have is that the TRAM setup requires retrieving random values from the TRNG, and whether that is possible in the DMA ICS depends on which HW TRNG is being used. With a single register read interface (which is what the ICS assumes) it works okay, but with (for example) the cryptocell TRNG it's not possible to read using the ICS since it requires a poll on a status register and it's not possible to encode that into a DMA command. To avoid having some TRNGs using the ICS and some using SW, we figured it was more sensible to perform the TRAM setup in SW in all cases. I believe that the new SW flow _should_ work if the DMA flow has already been run, but if there are any issues (likely with the KMU keyslot) then the simplest solution is to just remove the DMA commands.

Re: RSE booting with HardFault issue when TRAM enabled

by 김륜현

OK, Thank you for sharing the plan. About applying patch you gave,(https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m/+/40838)… Using variables immediately after TRAM enable can cause bus errors due to the same reason we discussing. /* Enable the TRAM */ *(volatile uint32_t *)(TRAM_BASE_S + 0x004) = 0x00000001; In actual, the access to variables in DTCM occur bus error after TRAM enabled. So i modified that it temporarily clear to 0 without using variable.     /* Enable the TRAM */     *(volatile uint32_t *)(TRAM_BASE_S + 0x004) = 0x00000001;     /* Erase the DTCM */     *(volatile uint32_t *)(DMA_350_BASE_S + 0x1000 +  0x038) = 0; // FILLVAL     *(volatile uint32_t *)(DMA_350_BASE_S + 0x1000 +  0x02c) = 0x000F0044; // DESTRANSCFG     *(volatile uint32_t *)(DMA_350_BASE_S + 0x1000 +  0x018) =  DTCM_CPU0_BASE_S; // DESADDR     *(volatile uint32_t *)(DMA_350_BASE_S + 0x1000 + 0x030) = 0x00010000; // XADDRINC     *(volatile uint32_t *)(DMA_350_BASE_S + 0x1000 + 0x020) = (DTCM_SIZE / sizeof(uint64_t)) << 16; // XSIZE     *(volatile uint32_t *)(DMA_350_BASE_S + 0x1000 + 0x00c) = 0x1200603; // CONFIG     *(volatile uint32_t *)(DMA_350_BASE_S + 0x1000 + 0x008) = 0x00000000; // Disable All Interrupt     *(volatile uint32_t *)(DMA_350_BASE_S + 0x1000 + 0x000) = 0x00000001; // RUN_CMD          while ((*((volatile uint32_t *)(DMA_350_BASE_S + 0x1000 + 0x000)) & 0x1) != 0) {} But, it needs to find a fundamental solution.

Issue with integrity_checker_compute_value() and cache coherence on RDV3R1 with TF-M

by 박진국

Hello, I am currently developing TF-M on the RDV3R1 S/W platform, and I would like to report a potential issue observed during runtime with the integrity_checker_compute_value() function in BL2. Problem Description: Inside the integrity_checker_compute_value() function, the iccva register is set to the address of either the value or temp_val variable, as shown in the example below. enum integrity_checker_error_t integrity_checker_compute_value(struct integrity_checker_dev_t *dev, enum integrity_checker_mode_t mode, const uint32_t *data, size_t size, uint32_t *value, size_t value_size, size_t *value_len) { volatile uint32_t __ALIGNED(INTEGRITY_CHECKER_REQUIRED_ALIGNMENT) temp_val[INTEGRITY_CHECKER_OUTPUT_SIZE_SHA256 / sizeof(uint32_t)] = {0}; volatile uint32_t *value_ptr = value; struct _integrity_checker_reg_map_t* p_integrity_checker = (struct _integrity_checker_reg_map_t*)dev->cfg->base; enum integrity_checker_error_t err; uint32_t iccval = 0; err = check_mode_is_supported(dev, mode, true); if (err != INTEGRITY_CHECKER_ERROR_NONE) { return err; } if (value_size < mode_sizes[mode]) { FATAL_ERR(INTEGRITY_CHECKER_ERROR_COMPUTE_VALUE_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL); return INTEGRITY_CHECKER_ERROR_COMPUTE_VALUE_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL; } if (((uintptr_t)data % INTEGRITY_CHECKER_REQUIRED_ALIGNMENT) != 0) { FATAL_ERR(INTEGRITY_CHECKER_ERROR_COMPUTE_VALUE_INVALID_ALIGNMENT); return INTEGRITY_CHECKER_ERROR_COMPUTE_VALUE_INVALID_ALIGNMENT; } if ((size % INTEGRITY_CHECKER_REQUIRED_ALIGNMENT) != 0) { FATAL_ERR(INTEGRITY_CHECKER_ERROR_COMPUTE_VALUE_INVALID_LENGTH); return INTEGRITY_CHECKER_ERROR_COMPUTE_VALUE_INVALID_LENGTH; } if (((uintptr_t)value % INTEGRITY_CHECKER_REQUIRED_ALIGNMENT) != 0) { value_ptr = temp_val; } init_integrity_checker(dev, &iccval); /* Set algorithm */ iccval |= (mode & 0b111) << 1; /* Set to compute mode */ iccval |= 1 << 4; /* Configure input data. Size is in words */ p_integrity_checker->icda = remap_addr(dev, (uintptr_t)data); p_integrity_checker->icdl = size / INTEGRITY_CHECKER_REQUIRED_ALIGNMENT; /* Set output address */ p_integrity_checker->iccva = remap_addr(dev, (uintptr_t)value_ptr); /* Start integrity checker */ iccval |= 1; p_integrity_checker->icc = iccval; /* Poll for any interrupts */ while(!p_integrity_checker->icis) {} /* Check for any unusual error interrupts */ if (p_integrity_checker->icis & (~0b11)) { FATAL_ERR(INTEGRITY_CHECKER_ERROR_COMPUTE_VALUE_OPERATION_FAILED); return INTEGRITY_CHECKER_ERROR_COMPUTE_VALUE_OPERATION_FAILED; } if (value_ptr != value) { for (int idx = 0; idx < mode_sizes[mode] / sizeof(uint32_t); idx++) { value[idx] = value_ptr[idx]; } } if (value_len != NULL) { *value_len = mode_sizes[mode]; } return INTEGRITY_CHECKER_ERROR_NONE; } static void init_integrity_checker(struct integrity_checker_dev_t *dev, uint32_t *iccval) { struct _integrity_checker_reg_map_t* p_integrity_checker = (struct _integrity_checker_reg_map_t*)dev->cfg->base; /* Set MatchTriggerDisable, as it is mandatory. */ *iccval |= 1 << 5; /* Set EncompvalOut so the integrity checker writes the value pointer in * compute mode. */ *iccval |= 1 << 6; *iccval |= (IC_APROT_SECURE_PRIVILEGED & 0b11) << 7; *iccval |= (IC_APROT_SECURE_PRIVILEGED & 0b11) << 9; /* Disable all alarms */ p_integrity_checker->icae = 0; /* Enable and clear all interrupts */ p_integrity_checker->icie = 0xFF; p_integrity_checker->icic = 0xFF; } The issue arises because the memory areas pointed to by value and temp_val are cacheable (e.g., located in the vm0 memory region, which is configured as cacheable). As a result, even though the integrity checker writes the output data to the physical address of value or temp_val, the CPU cache is not updated, and this leads to stale data being read later in software, resulting in runtime errors. Expected Behavior: Ideally, the memory region used for integrity checker output should either be: Non-cacheable, or Explicitly synchronized (e.g., cache invalidated or cleaned) after the integrity checker operation. Could you please confirm whether this is a known issue, and advise on the recommended way to handle integrity checker outputs with respect to cache settings? Thank you. JK Park

Proposal to deprecate Musca-S1 and BL5340_dvk_cpuapp platforms

by Anton Komlev

Hi everyone, We would like to propose the deprecation of the following two TF-M platforms: 1. Musca-S1 (Arm) Musca-S1 was one of the earliest platforms featuring an Armv8-M silicon implementation, providing a valuable real hardware target for initial development. However, with the availability of many modern hardware platforms, Musca-S1 is no longer essential and can be deprecated. 2. BL5340_dvk_cpuapp (Laird Connectivity) This platform was initially proposed for deprecation at the end of 2023. Support activity has been minimal, and it closely mirrors the already-supported nRF5340 platform from Nordic Semiconductor. Please share any comments or objections regarding this proposal. If no major concerns are raised by the end of June 2025, we plan to mark these platforms as deprecated and proceed with their removal from the codebase. Thank you, Anton

Trusted Firmware Gerrit issues

by Matthew Dalzell

Hi All, We have recently undergone a migration of our Gerrit server and are seeing some issues. One such change appears to be that https://review.trustedfirmware.org/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m no longer resolves to https://review.trustedfirmware.org/plugins/gitiles/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m. So please use the latter link if that is what you wish to access. This is causing a large slow-down on the CI causing jobs to not be run. These issues are being actively worked on and we hope all will be back up and running normally soon. If you have any questions or related issues please feel free to respond to this chain. Thank you for your patience, Matt

Constrains of key ownership in TF-M

by Norrathep Rattanavipanon

Hello, I just recently found out that there's a concept of key ownership in TF-M (e.g., if a new secure partition creates a key and returns the key handle to NSPE, NSPE can't export it even if the key is config-ed to be exportable -- the key can only be used by the owner). My question is: is this design based on PSA or specific to just TF-M implementation?

Question about build error in TF-M release/2.2.x

by Zhang, Hao

Hi TF-M community, When I am trying to build TF-M regression test for 2.2.x release, I sets the tf-m-tests repo version to recommended TF-Mv2.1.2-RC2. The tf-m-tests tests_reg/spe/CMakeLists.txt has following line: install(FILES ${CONFIG_TFM_SOURCE_PATH}/lib/ext/qcbor/q_useful_buf.h DESTINATION ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/api_ns/qcbor/inc) However, release 2.2.x https://git.trustedfirmware.org/plugins/gitiles/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m.git… has removed q_useful_buf.h. Therefore, causing a build error. Is there anything I am missing. Any help would be appreciated. Best regards, Hao

Broken link in TFO/TF-M entry page

by Etienne CARRIERE

Hello, I've seen that the "CONTRIBUTE/SUBMIT CODE<https://tf-m-user-guide.trustedfirmware.org/contributing/contributing_proce…>" link in https://www.trustedfirmware.org/projects/tf-m/ is broken. It links to deprecated https://tf-m-user-guide.trustedfirmware.org/contributing/contributing_proce… whereas I think it should link to https://trustedfirmware-m.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contributing/contributin….

Order of starting Secure Partitions

by Florek, Bartlomiej

Hello, I'm trying to fit a new Secure Partition into Trusted Firmware - M environment. The current working environment consists of Zephyr RTOS 3.7 + TF-M 2.1.0 running under QEMU on MPS2 AN521 platform. General skeleton is in place - manifest with dependencies on TFM_CRYPTO, interface, IPC and handling communication. However, I have problems with using the PSA Crypto from the aforementioned new Service. I need a hash function, so I thought I'd use PSA Crypto API. The problem is that either the hash function or the initialization function (psa_crypto_init) is returning error (PSA_ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY). I discovered that logs show PSA Crypto partition is loading after mine. This problem occurs in the entry_point function. Is it possible to change the order of partitions loading or is there different mechanism advised to synchronize partition loading? Thank you in advance for your suggestions. Best regards, Bartlomiej

Planned outages

by Matthew Dalzell

Hi all, There are some planned outages for Friday morning (30th May UK around 10AM BST) to our CI. This will affect the review process for a short period of time, expected to be less than one hour, but may cause some disruption over the weekend too. I will be sure to send out another message once things have settled and should be back to normal. Thank you for your patience and apologies in advance for any issues which may arise, Matt

Issue building docs

Hi all, I am trying to build docs with following commands: cmake -S docs -B ./build_docs cmake --build build_docs/ -- tfm_docs_userguide_pdf But I get following error resolving references... failed Warning, treated as error: RSVG converter command 'rsvg-convert' cannot be run.

PSA_IOT_PROFILE_1 attestation Certification Reference

by Quach, Brian

Hi, Per https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-tschofenig-rats-psa-token-07 (which is latest spec I can find for profile 1 token): The Certification Reference claim is used to link the class of chip and PSA RoT of the attesting device to an associated entry in the PSA Certification database. It MUST be represented as a thirteen-digit [EAN-13<https://www.gs1.org/standards/barcodes/ean-upc>].¶<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-tschofenig-rats-psa-token-07#se…> Linking to the PSA Certification entry can still be achieved if this claim is not present in the token by making an association at a Verifier between the reference value and other token claim values - for example, the Implementation ID.¶<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-tschofenig-rats-psa-token-07#se…> psa-certification-reference-type = text .regexp "[0-9]{13}" psa-certification-reference = ( ? psa-certification-reference-key => psa-certification-reference-type ) But in the tf-m-tools repo: iat-verifier\iatverifier\psa_iot_profile1_token_claims.py it checks for PSA 2.0 profile HW version which is EAN-13 + 5. class HardwareVersionClaim(AttestationClaim): """Class representing a PSA Attestation Token Hardware version claim""" def verify(self, token_item): self._check_type('HARDWARE_VERSION', token_item.value, str) value_len = len(token_item.value) expected_len = 19 # 'EAN13-Version' 13 + 1 + 5. e.g.:0604565272829-10010 if len(token_item.value) != expected_len: msg = 'Invalid HARDWARE_VERSION length; must be {} characters, found {} characters' self.verifier.error(msg.format(expected_len, value_len)) for idx, character in enumerate(token_item.value): if character not in string.digits: if idx != 13 or character not in '-': msg = 'Invalid character {} at position {}' self.verifier.error(msg.format(character, idx+1)) It seems like this was changed 3yrs ago: SHA-1: 8ac8d17d15353c7f7933ae8065646946ae47f993 * Fix HW Version claim expected length www.psacertified.org issuing HW versions of format '[0-9]{13}-[0-9]{5}'.

Internal Trusted Storage

by Michael Khoyilar

Hi team, Can you help me with this statement that "Currently, the TF-M Secure Storage service implements PSA Protected Storage version 1.0-beta2. There is not yet an implementation of PSA Internal Trusted Storage in TF-M." Our SoC does NOT have internal flash, but we have OTP where we keep the confidential data. Can you help how to handle this ITS situation. I wonder if PSA level-2 certification requires ITS? Thanks BR Michael

Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Attestation calls to PSA Crypto

by Quach, Brian

Hi Antonio, I figured it out. I wasn’t including secure_fw/partitions/crypto/tfm_mbedcrypto_include.h properly so attestation was linking directly to the PSA Crypto function implementation instead of the client interface. I’m surprised it did not complain about a symbol collision without having the mbedcrypto__ prefix. The PSA crypto API implementation source files were “PRIVATE” so I’m not sure how attestation was able to link to them at all.

Attestation calls to PSA Crypto

by Quach, Brian

Hi, Assuming Isolation Level 1 and IPC backend, I'm using Attestation partition with SFN model with stateless handle and a custom Crypto partition using IPC model with stateless handle. My custom Crypto partition includes a PSA crypto wrapper which defines all the PSA Crypto APIs to use HW crypto. We used IPC since we want to be able to support isolation level 2-3 in the future. When the Attestation partition make calls to PSA Crypto (psa_hash_setup for example), should it use a psa_call() to the Crypto Partition? That is what I had expected since the crypto partition is IPC model but I'm seeing it call the PSA crypto code directly. Also, it appears to provide client side psa_hash_operation_t directly to the psa_hash_setup which is expecting the full operation struct. Is my configuration valid? How should it work?

FW: Weird behavior of Clang linker

Do not click on links or open attachments unless you validate it is safe<https://intranet-content.infineon.com/explore/aboutinfineon/rules/informati…>. Hi Roman, I tried to look in the ELF spec that I could find by googling, but what I can find online doesn't mention the topic of alignment requirements at all other than a brief mention of how the base address and align requirements must be coherent. How the requirement on alignment propagates from sections to execution regions to load regions is still something that I am trying to understand as I can't find an exhaustive description. The info I shared below stem from a personal conversation that I had with the compiler team internally here in Arm, I have now asked for a reference, will revert back to you in case I get one. [cid:0aef50f0-9105-480f-8090-06cfaa06b8d3] Only explicit mention of alignment that I could find is in the armlink manual in section 3.3.3. [cid:ef5c45ef-7d67-433c-9aba-b8fd7cf0d1c0] The suggestion from the compiler team are as I mentioned: 1. just disable the strict checks on alignment (i.e. the linker will be then allowed to add padding as required to meet the constraint imposed by the base address of the load region and the ALIGN attributes, by suppressing the diagnostic or using --legacyalign (on a side note, I believe this is the default behaviour on GCC linker for example) 2. rewrite the scatter file to have all the input sections without alignment requirements in the output section where the vector reside, and then have another output section just after the first output section (i.e. with base address +0) to put all the other input sections with increased alignment. As a side note, the suggestion is to also align base addresses of sections using AlignExpr(+0, 4096) (for example, to align to 0x1000) rather than forcing ALIGN attributes. Note that this shouldn't be too complex to attain point 2 but it is something that at the moment we can't work on, but happily merge it in if you're willing to provide a patch for it. Your suggestion of having multiple output section is as well doable, but probably enough to have two of them. Will get back to you in case I get some more reference about how the alignment requirements in ELF propagate from input section to output sections just to confirm on the spec itself. Hope this helps, please let me know if any questions!

Do not click on links or open attachments unless you validate it is safe<https://intranet-content.infineon.com/explore/aboutinfineon/rules/informati…>. Hi Bohdan, For reference, this is due to armlink being strict on following the ELF specification for which the region alignment is derived as the maximum alignment of the input sections. You can relax this requirement with armlink by either using the --legacyalign option (although it's being deprecated) or suppressing the diagnostic --diag_suppress=6244. In the future, we could try to reorganize the scatter file for the armclang toolchain to avoid using directly ALIGN attributes and align the base address of the execution regions using AlignExpr() instead, but even with this strategy, any alignment requirement which stems from using .aligned directive in assembly or attribute __ ((aligned)) attributes will influence the input sections alignment, hence it will require a deeper restructuring of the scatter file, possibly moving sections with increased alignment in a separate load region just after LR_CODE which must have a base address that forces a natural alignment. Hope this helps.

For this reasons I have introduced tfm_s_linker_alignments.h. Everything works fine with GCC but we have a problem with Clang. The problem is that Clang requires LR_CODE to have same alignment as other sections inside of it. Following are the steps to reproduce the issue: 1. Set TFM_LINKER_DEFAULT_ALIGNMENT to 0x1000 in tfm_s_linker_alignments.h 2. Build AN521 with following command line cmake -S . -B build_an521 -DTFM_PLATFORM=arm/mps2/an521 -DTFM_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=./toolchain_ARMCLANG.cmake Expected result: Everything works fine Actual result: Error: L6244E: Load region LR_CODE address (0x10080400) not aligned on a 4096 byte boundary. This error is weird because there is no explicit alignment assigned to LR_CODE region. Would appreciate a help on this as it is a blocking issue for us.

Link Time Optimization

by Quach, Brian

Hi, does TF-M use LTO? I didn't see any flags to disable it in toolchain_GNUARM.cmake. I think for GCC, it's enabled by default if no flag is set. Regards, Brian Quach SimpleLink MCU Texas Instruments Inc. 12500 TI Blvd, MS F-4000 Dallas, TX 75243 214-479-4076

TF-M v2.2.0 releases

by Anton Komlev

Hello, We're kicking off the release process for TF-Mv2.2.0, starting with the TF-Mv2.2.0-RC1 tag. As part of this release phase, we're also updating the previous version to TF-Mv2.1.2, which includes critical bug fixes and support for new platforms. New TF-Mv2.1.2-RC1 tag will follow shortly. After completing initial testing on the reference platform and addressing all identified issues, we'll reach out to platform owners to verify TF-M on platforms not available in LAVA. Please note, the verification might be requested on a different tag by that time. Let me remind that the code is not frozen, and development can be continued on the main branch as described in TF-M Release Process<https://tf-m-user-guide.trustedfirmware.org/releases/release_process.html#r…>. Thanks, Anton

A delay of TF-M release v2.2.0

by Anton Komlev

Hello, TF-M release v2.2.0 is unfortunately delayed for about a month. The new tentative start date is the end of February with a goal to complete the release at the middle of March. The main reasons of the delay are: * Delays in PSA certification of RPi2350 platform * An opportunity to accommodate of Mbed TLS v3.6.3 planned on February * Limited availability of TF-M maintainers Thanks, and sorry for the possible inconveniences caused be this delay, Anton

Firmware Upgrade in RAM_LOAD mode

by Julien Beraud

Hello Everyone, We are currently working on TF-M for the firmware of our Cortex-M55 based core, part of a bigger platform including a cortex-A based application processor, a bit like the corstone1000. We use the RAM_LOAD boot mode of TF-M/MCUBoot and we want to implement an upgrade strategy based on 2 banks, and a switch to decide which bank to boot from. I have a few questions regarding some design choices. I hope someone can answer them. Please correct me if some of my assumptions are wrong. * For the generic Firmware Upgrade partition, are there plans to support the RAM_LOAD mode ? Do you have suggestions about what is missing or how it should be done ? * Currently, MCUBoot in RAM_LOAD mode only supports booting the slot with the highest version. Do you think it is realistic to try and integrate another boot mode in MCUBoot that matches our needs ? I'm asking this because I noticed that the corstone1000 platform has been developed working around this limitation by changing the flash_map at platform initialization in order to abstract the problem from MCUBoot completely. Thank you and all the best, Julien

Adding Platform power control

by Quach, Brian

Hi, I'm trying to add platform power control functions (to power off/on peripherials) to the SPM. Are there any examples of this? What is the cleanest way to implement? Can it be done via adding code to source/third_party/tfm/platform/ext/target/<vendor>/ and compiling into the platform_s target? The diagram below says connection between SPM and PRoT partitions is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED. How does the TF-M implement PRoT partitions to call the SPM? Can it be a direct API call? I did see platform_svc_handlers() but I assume that was for use by ARoT partitions (unpriviledged). DEN0063 PSA Firmware Framework: Some platforms include functionality that can only be accessed by firmware at the highest privilege level. For example, platform power control or control registers that are shared by secure and non-secure firmware. These Platform services must be implemented as part of the SPM, but the mechanism by which the NSPE firmware accesses these services is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED.

Notice: switch to upstream t_cose library

by David Vincze

Hi all, I just wanted to bring to your attention that TF-M has switched<https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/topic:%22t_cose_upstream%22> to using the upstream t_cose library (which is used during creating and validating attestation tokens). The main reason for this change is to remove the forked t_cose code from the TF-M repository, along with its maintenance needs (similarly to the QCBOR library). Additionally, it will also allow us having consistent library code across all tf.org projects. Under normal circumstances, this change should not have any impact on you – the library code is fetched automatically during build. It might happen that you encounter CI failures in connection with this change, but you will only need to rebase your patches to align with the changes in the CI. Best regards, David Vincze

How to Enable Asymmetric Signing with Small Profile

by Zhang, Hao

Hi All, I have several questions. Thanks in advance for helping out. 1. I am trying to build a TF-M application for my platform with small profile with asymmetric signing module enabled. I tried using following command cmake -S . -B build -G Ninja -DTFM_PLATFORM=MY/PLATFORM -DTFM_PROFILE="profile_small" -DCRYPTO_ASYM_SIGN_MODULE_ENABLED=y. However, the asymmetric signing module is not included. More specifically, in trusted-firmware-m/secure_fw/partitions/crypto/crypto_asymmetric.c, the #if CRYPTO_ASYM_SIGN_MODULE_ENABLED is not true. From what I understand, the -DCRYPTO_ASYM_SIGN_MODULE_ENABLED=y only define the macro, but not set it to 1, therefore, the #if CRYPTO_ASYM_SIGN_MODULE_ENABLED is not true. I am wondering if there is any way I can enable -DCRYPTO_ASYM_SIGN_MODULE_ENABLED module while still staying in small profile. I am aware that the default CRYPTO_ENGINE_BUF_SIZE might not be enough and I am willing to override it with a command line flag. Preferably, I would not want to enable asymmetric module in config.cmake as I only want to enable it for one specific application. 1. If to build with Zephyr and have TF-M as a module, is there anyway to enable asymmetric signing module given a small profile (I actually care more about this question than first question) 1. Just out of curiosity, how do you use menuconfig in TF-M. I did try -DMENUCONFIG=ON, but the compiler complains CMake Error at config/kconfig.cmake:31 (file): file STRINGS file "trusted-firmware-m/config/../platform/ext/target/MY/PLATFORM/preload.cmake" cannot be read. Call Stack (most recent call first): config/kconfig.cmake:174 (convert_normal_cmake_config_to_kconfig) CMakeLists.txt:26 (include) I thought preload.cmake is no longer required. Thank you very much!

platform_sp_system_reset

Clarification on boot seed

by Augusto Cesare Zanellato

Hi, I'm doing a PoC on initial attestation for an university project using a RP2350 board and I'm not really understanding why boot seed is stored in OTP, shouldn't it be a value changing on each boot? Pico SDK conveniently exposes one via a ROM function (rom_get_boot_random). Another similar doubt I have is w.r.t. implementation id, couldn't it be read from the board id (pico_get_unique_board_id)? Board id is factory programmed in otp so it should actually be unique. Best Regards, Augusto Zanellato

Re: Inquiry on Overriding ITS Parameters in TF-M via Zephyr

by Jain, Saurabh

Hi Anton Thank you for your response. Let me break it down a bit. 1. We have several subsystems running on the non-secure side that require certain sensitive metadata to be stored in ITS. 2. Default values of ITS parameters are insufficient. 3. While building the Zephyr app with TF-M, NS-side (during build) passes these overriding values to CMake, which adds the specified preprocessor definitions to the compiler flags of TF-M, ensuring they are available during compilation. 4. Zephyr already has the harness for this flow. This entire flow currently doesn’t work if we don’t explicitly use these preprocessors in TF-M CMake files. Using a custom profile is not feasible for us because the overriding values are provided by the NS side based on their specific needs. Additionally, even when we attempt to provide these parameters through the command line while building only TF-M (without NS-side), we encounter the same warning: "Manually-specified variables were not used by the project." This warning indicates that these parameters are not being utilized in the CMake scripts (which make sense). I guess the question would be is there a way to override these parameters from command-line, while being platform agnostic? If not, is there any specific reason we chose not to, other than this approach could potentially override the platform specific configuration, like you suggested? We would appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to properly handle this scenario. If needed, we can discuss this further in the next TF-M Tech forum, like you suggested. Regards Saurabh On 1/24/25, 12:47 PM, "Anton Komlev via TF-M" <tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org <mailto:tf-m@lists.trustedfirmware.org>> wrote: Hi Saurabh, If I understand you correctly, you're looking to modify the ITS_MAX_ASSET definition, which is a build-time option and cannot be changed post S-side build. Could you please explain your scenario for wanting to update it from the NS-side? You're correct that a platform can redefine certain options which is intended behavior, allowing platforms to either override or verify these settings. For more details, you can refer to the TF-M configuration priorities here: https://trustedfirmware-m.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration/index.html… <https://trustedfirmware-m.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration/index.html…>. The highest priority is the command line, which can override options even those defined in platforms. We should proceed cautiously with this approach, as there might be reasons why platforms alter the default configuration. A recommended alternative is to create a custom profile and place all your options there, though some platforms might still overwrite them as expected. We can discuss this further in the next TF-M Tech forum if you wish. Hope that helps, Anton -----Original Message----- From: Jain, Saurabh via TF-M <tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org <mailto:tf-m@lists.trustedfirmware.org>> Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2025 7:47 PM To: tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org <mailto:tf-m@lists.trustedfirmware.org> Subject: [TF-M] Inquiry on Overriding ITS Parameters in TF-M via Zephyr Hi All, We are developing a platform using TF-M with Zephyr running on the Non-Secure (NS) side. As part of our requirements, we need to override certain ITS-related parameters, such as ITS_MAX_ASSET, from the NS side. Zephyr provides a mechanism for this through Kconfig.tfm under modules/trusted-firmware-m, which includes symbols like TFM_ITS_MAX_ASSET_SIZE_OVERRIDE. When enabled, these configurations are passed to the TF-M build system via TFM_CMAKE_ARGS through CMake under modules/trusted-firmware-m. However, we observe that TF-M does not seem to support external overrides for these parameters. This results in the CMake warning: "Manually-specified variables were not used by the project." As a result, the overrides are ignored. Currently, we address this by explicitly checking for external definitions of ITS_MAX_ASSET in platform-specific TF-M CMake files. While this works, it is platform-specific. We would like to confirm: 1. Is there an existing platform-independent method to achieve such overrides that we may have missed? 2. If not, would the community be open to adding support for this functionality so it can be upstreamed and benefit other platforms? Looking forward to your input.
