[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

DSP instructions and FPU use

by Cindy Chaumont

Hello, I am using the GNUARM compiler and LPCXpresso55S69-EVK dev board and I would like to use DSP instructions and FPU (in secure image). About FPU, it seems there is no way to use the hardware floating-point support instead of the software support (see "-msoft-float" flag in CommonConfig.cmake file). Is there a reason for that? Maybe some performance reasons? About DSP, in CompilerGNUARMxy.cmake files, architecture definition is preferred to CPU type and, in my case, "-march=armv8-m.main" flags is chosen (without +dsp option). The solution I found is to only define ARM_CPU_TYPE (and not ARM_CPU_ARCHITECTURE) to use "-mcpu=cortex-m33" flag instead of "-march=armv8-m.main". So I can use DSP instructions. However, I am not sure if this is the best solution. Maybe an option could be added to allow or not the use of DSP instructions? Thank you in advance for the answer, Best regards, Cindy

TF-M Profile Small patches merged

by David Hu

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

Re: [TF-M] [Compiler related] Unify necessary and minimal set compiler definitions for SPM

Re: [TF-M] Pre-provisioned keys

by Tamas Ban

Hi Brian, The pre-provisioned keys are highly platform dependent. TF-M just provide an API to access them, but currently we have no standard/general solution to storing them. There was question a few weeks ago related to same topic. I just copied Shebu's past answer here: "Provisioning was added as a future roadmap item in anticipation of a PSA Provisioning Specification. The Specification (Factory or application specific) hasn't happened so far. There is no active work ongoing in TF-M around provisioning. TF-M using provisioned keys in CC-312 on MuscaB1 platform is available as an example. See details here<https://ci.trustedfirmware.org/job/tf-m-build-test-nightly/lastSuccessfulBu…> under CC312 heading. In TrustedFirmware TSC, provisioning has been a discussion topic sometime back. Search for provisioning in the minutes below. https://github.com/microbuilder/certificate_chains/blob/master/rfc_tfm.md is an RFC that Kevin prepared during those discussions for TF-M devices to use certificate chain. " I hope this helps!

I had seen these as being stored outside of ITS flash in some compile time defined location and being read-only. Regards, Brian
