Hi Brian, Did you empty the build directory before you build? And this is the recommended commit id for each of the repositories: Mbed-crypto: 1146b4e06011b69a6437e6b728f2af043a06ec19 Tag mbedcrypto-3.0.1 Mbedtls: 3187e7ca986fe199313343b0c810e41b543ef78a Tag mbedtls-2.7.9 CMSIS_5: 80cc44bba16cb4c8f495b7aa9709d41ac50e9529 Tag 5.2.0 Could you share us the commit id of each repo and the toolchain version (arm-none-eabi-gcc -v) you are using?

Re: [TF-M] DSP instructions and FPU use

by Soby Mathew

Hi, For enabling floating point the ARMv8-M architecture allows the flowing possibilities : * Stacking the basic Floating-point context. * Stacking the basic Floating-point context and the additional Floating-point context. * Activation of Lazy Floating-point state preservation. The easiest way would be to enable FP context stacking for every context switch but it would impact every context switch irrespective of whether FP unit is used in that context or not . I guess this is the approach taken by Andrej ? . The Lazy Floating point state preservation would be better for performance but it would have additional complexity in managing the contexts. Just blue sky thinking here: There could be a middle ground wherein some partitions are allowed to use FP while others are not because they don't really need to. The ones allowed to use FP will need to cater for the additional stack requirement to save FP context. The actual save of the context can be done either on context switch to the partition or lazily. This approach could give the benefit of both performance and memory savings but it requires some analysis and design to be done in TF-M.

[IMPORTANT] [SOURCE STRUCTURE] The first structure adjust patch is pushed

by Ken Liu

Hi, As the first commit of 'source_structure' document is merged, here is the first patch to follow the document: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m/+/4315 The patch looks big, even it just adjusts the content inside 'secure_fw'. To make the related sources can pass the building, some files out of the 'secure_fw' need to be changed. The goal of merging is ASAP so that we won't block upcoming features. Please provide the feedback about potential USAGE problem you may meet. As the patch is big, it won't be applicable to make THIS patch perfect to meet all the requirements defined in the document, a series of upcoming patches would come as amending. Also if there are suggestions about the structure document, please write to the mailing list and put discussion in this task: https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/T751 The rendered structure document: https://ci.trustedfirmware.org/job/tf-m-build-test-nightly/252/artifact/bui… BR /Ken

Hi all, TF-M Profile Small patches are merged in TF-M master branch. Thanks a lot for all your review, comments and support. I'd appreciate it if you could feedback and share ideas while enabling Profile Small in your actual use cases. If there is any issue, please feel free to let us know. Thank you. The next step will bring in symmetric key algorithm based Initial Attestation and then Profile Small can have a full set of features. Best regards, Hu Ziji

Correction - MMIO region is not sharable between partitions

by Ken Liu

Hi, In the tech forum I mentioned a potential way of sharing MMIO regions - this is not correct. Double checked the PSA FF and it is defined explicitly in the spec page 43: "A Secure Partition always has exclusive access to an MMIO region. Secure Partitions are not allowed to share MMIO regions with other Secure Partitions and MMIO regions are not allowed to overlap." Sorry for the confusion. BR /Ken
