Call for a feedback on TF-M adaptation experience

by Reinhard Keil

Hi Anton, Hi Kevin, Thanks for starting this discussion. Let me give you my view on it. I think the problem can be structured in these parts: * Give documentation a better overall structure * Clearly separate single core v8M from dual core v7M * Describe the overall structure of the files and configuration options of TF-M * Describe resource requirements of TF-M core * Describe platform interfaces and provide templates * Describe how a Service is added to TF-M * Describe the tools/utilities that are used for TF-M While the debugging aspect raised by Kevin is relevant, it is a generic problem for all v8-M projects, not just for TF-M. I'm supportive to provide tools like pyOCD, but we need proper resourcing for it (maybe a separate project). It should be also noted that the industry works typically with tools like EWARM, MDK, or vendor specific tools like STCube or MCUxpresso. Hence we should not directly add too much tool-specific information to TF-M itself. Now let me give more context to each of the above topics. ---- Give documentation a better overall structure The Trusted Firmware-M documentation starts here: https://ci.trustedfirmware.org/job/tf-m-build-test-nightly/lastSuccessfulBu… While this is already a User's Guide, it contains two more user's guides https://ci.trustedfirmware.org/job/tf-m-build-test-nightly/lastSuccessfulBu… https://ci.trustedfirmware.org/job/tf-m-build-test-nightly/lastSuccessfulBu… For an outsider it is unclear where to start. Clearly separate single core v8M from dual core v7M This seems to be somewhat better now as it seems that below only refers to v8M single core: https://ci.trustedfirmware.org/job/tf-m-build-test-nightly/lastSuccessfulBu… Describe the overall structure of the files and configuration options of TF-M I was looking for something like this: https://arm-software.github.io/CMSIS_5/RTOS2/html/pDirectory_Files.html https://arm-software.github.io/CMSIS_5/RTOS2/html/config_rtx5.html Describe resource requirements of TF-M core Take a look here to understand that request https://arm-software.github.io/CMSIS_5/RTOS2/html/pHardwareRequirements.html Important is also to document the interrupt behaviour (for both the secure and non-secure side). I know that this is tricky. For RTX we have this here: https://arm-software.github.io/CMSIS_5/RTOS2/html/cre_rtx_proj.html#cre_Usi… For TF-M this depends on a lot of other parameters. Describe platform interfaces and provide templates What I mean by that are the functions itself that are called by TF_M core. This is an example of the OS_Tick interface that RTX is using. TF-M core has similar interfaces to setup MPC, PPC, SAU, etc. https://arm-software.github.io/CMSIS_5/RTOS2/html/group__CMSIS__RTOS__TickA… Describe how a Service is added to TF-M Assume I have functions currently used in NS. What would be the process to move this functions into TF-M as a service. How does the API interface change, what modifications do I need (ideally I would like to have the same API interface after it). Are the any rules for the API interface itself. You could also provide an example for that, i.e. functions that read a PIN number from an secure keypad or open a DOOR depending on a verification. I know making a good product is hard and takes time. CMSIS is not perfect either. Let me know if you have any questions. Reinhard

Re: [TF-M] PSA-Test Suite, 23 Crypto Tests failed

by Andrej Butok

Hi Anton, OK. So this is the known issue. Is there any plan when it should be implemented? As the test-log is used for a PSA certification, may we disable the failed tests? BTW: As this is known issue, I did not notice it here https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-crypto/issues?page=1&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen… Thanks, Andrej From: TF-M <tf-m-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of Anton Komlev via TF-M Sent: Friday, February 28, 2020 12:14 PM To: tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org Cc: nd <nd(a)arm.com> Subject: Re: [TF-M] PSA-Test Suite, 23 Crypto Tests failed Hello Andrej, As you noted, the main reason of test failures is unimplemented PSA functions.

Re: [TF-M] Call for a feedback on TF-M adaptation experience

by Kevin Townsend

Hi Anton, One particular difficulty I've encountered working with TF-M for the Zephyr certification demo app, and with the LPC55S69 port to upstream TF-M is the debugging experience with GDB and the dual execution environments. GDB can be quite powerful if you are familiar with it, but there is a definite learning curve, and the S and NS separation and the dual binary images (three with BL2) adds an additional degree of complexity. I think having a dedicated debugging tutorial around GDB would be very useful to people adopting TF-M and perhaps new to GDB, just to show how some basic debugging might happen, how to debug across the NS/S boundary, etc. For example, the '--tui' option for GDB may not be very well known, and it may be useful to highlight (see screenshots at the bottom of this issue: https://github.com/microbuilder/trusted-firmware-m/issues/1) Practical, step-by-step debugging documentation just seems like a good investment to help flatten this inevitable learning curve developing real-world solutions with TF-M?

Hello, After update to the latest TFM and to the latest PSA-Test Suite, 23 Crypto Tests are failed: ************ Crypto Suite Report ********** TOTAL TESTS : 61 TOTAL PASSED : 37 TOTAL SIM ERROR : 0 TOTAL FAILED : 23 TOTAL SKIPPED : 1 ****************************************** The main reason is that many of PSA Crypto functions are not implemented by TFM. Is there a plan to fix it? Thanks, Andrej

Hi Everyone The below mentioned patches have been merged to TF-M master. The Open CI is also updated to pull in the right version of mbed-crypto (3.0.1) and it should now show results as expected. You may to have rebase your existing patches currently in review if you need to run CI tests.

TF-M

by Konstantinos Chatzis

Hi all, As Anton already announced during last TF-M Tech Forums, we have recently started a deep review initiative for the TF-M project, with main focus to improve User Experience and reduce Onboarding Effort. The team is currently focusing on the following topics: * Repository and Housekeeping * Development Environment * Build System * Source tree structure and Abstraction Layers * Coding Rules * Documentation * Continuous Integration * Testing We are fully aware of the vast area the topics above cover but, focusing on the basic principles mentioned above, we intend to conclude to implementable solutions. It is therefore of significant importance that your individual or team's onboarding experience is shared with us and this mailing list. Please share any feedback based on your experience using and/or enhancing TF-M. Regards, Kostas IMPORTANT NOTICE: The contents of this email and any attachments are confidential and may also be privileged. If you are not the intended recipient, please notify the sender immediately and do not disclose the contents to any other person, use it for any purpose, or store or copy the information in any medium.
