Please review the patch set to extract duplicated template files from platforms

by David Hu (Arm Technology China)

Hi all, I submit a patch set to extract the duplicated identical template files dummy_xxx.c from targets and put them under platform/ext/common/template folder. The purpose is to collect a common template of booting/attestation example for platforms and each platform doesn't need to keep a copy under its folder anymore. Since it is a general change related to all platforms using template files, I'd like to ask for review here. Any comments would be appreciated. Please check the patch details in https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/topic:%22template_plat_files%22+(statu… The background is described in https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/T539. Best regards, Hu Ziji

IAR libc behavior?

by Ken Liu (Arm Technology China)

Hi Thomas, I have a question about IAR compiler since we verify default GNUARM and ARMCLANG in the existing sources. If we are trying to implementing some internal version of libc APIs like 'memcmp', would IAR link with this implemented version first, or it just report a link error of duplicated symbol? Any switches do we need to assign to support this? Thanks. /Ken

Re: [TF-M] Create another branch for feature development

by Edison Ai (Arm Technology China)

Hi Gyorgy, Thanks to point it out. I agree with you that it will be better if we can align these two projects in this. I had a quick check the branches from TF-A: https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a.git/. There are three branches in TF-A: - "integration" branch, should be used for new features. - "master" branch, which is behind of "integration" branch. But I am nor sure what is the strategy to update it. - "topics/epic_beta0_spmd", I thinks it should like a feature branch for big feature. @Soby Mathew Could you help to share more information about it? Thanks very much. Hi David W, Thanks for your comments. For your first comment, I will say yes. Sorry to give the CI problem as a reason. For your second comment, I think we can use " git merge <commit-id>" to merge up to a special commit of dev to the master branch. In this, we do not need to freeze the patch merging. Maybe other methods to do it. Sorry, I am not a git expert, please correct me if it is wrong. I agree with you that we need to think clearly about it.

Hotfix for GNUARM linker script

by David Hu (Arm Technology China)

Hi all, I uploaded a hotfix to fix a issue in GNUARM linker script. https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/2767 The XXX_ATTR_FN label is named as XXX_LD_ATTR_FN for Application RoT Secure Partitions in GNUARM linker script. Thus GNUARM cannot get the dedicated section address to place the XXX_ATTR_FN section defined in the source code. It may cause linking error and crash during running. Please help review the patch. Any comment is welcome and will speed up the fix. Thank you. Best regards, Hu Ziji
