Re: MemManage Fault during TF-M Secure Firmware Initialization

by Sari, Robert

Hi Jamie, thank you for the quick response! The culprit was indeed an MPU configuration that didn't comply with TF-M Isolation Level 2 requirements. Regards, Robert

MemManage Fault during TF-M Secure Firmware Initialization

by robert.sari.ext＠siemens.com

Hello, I am currently having an issue during TF-M initialization where a MemManage fault is being triggered during secure FW initialization (most likely when the SPM is initialized). It appears to be an error during unstacking/returning from an exception as the MUNSTKERR bit of the MMFSR register is set. I receive the following exception context and exception frame when the error occurs: __________________________________________________________ FATAL ERROR: MemManage fault Here is some context for the exception: EXC_RETURN (LR): 0xFFFFFFFD Exception came from secure FW in thread mode. xPSR: 0x20000004 MSP: 0x20000BF8 PSP: 0x20002518 MSP_NS: 0x20042DF8 PSP_NS: 0xFFFFFFFC Exception frame at: 0x20002518 (Note that the exception frame may be corrupted for this type of error.) R0: 0x00000000 R1: 0x00000000 R2: 0x00000000 R3: 0x00000000 R12: 0x00000000 LR: 0xFFFFFFFE PC: 0x000358D1 xPSR: 0x01000000 CFSR: 0x00000008 BFSR: 0x00000000 BFAR: Not Valid MMFSR: 0x00000008 MMFAR: Not Valid UFSR: 0x00000000 HFSR: 0x00000000 SFSR: 0x00000000 SFAR: Not Valid __________________________________________________________ Other Information: - I am running Nordic Semiconductor's "tfm_psa_template" sample: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/2.2.0/nrf/samples/tfm/… - The Secure MPU is enabled (only the background region) before TF-M initialization begins - Board: nRF5340dk - TF-M Version: v1.8.0 - TF-M Isolation Level: 2 My questions are: - What part of the TF-M FW could be the cause of this MemManage fault? - Is there any way to solve this issue (such as a different TF-M configuration) so that TF-M will initialize properly?

Memory Footprint Table generation

by Ruchika Gupta

Hi, With every TFM release, I see that there is a memory footprint table<https://trustedfirmware-m.readthedocs.io/en/latest/releases/2.0.0.html#refe…> which is made available for the AN521 platform. Are there any scripts available to run on the map file/other binaries to generate this table ? I would like to use the same for our platform and do some analysis. Further question- Why is there a tie up between the large profile with TFM isolation level 3 ? Is it a certification requirement ? Regards, Ruchika

TF-M initially supported only the isolated model in ITS (i.e. for internal flashes) but more recently it was added support for encrypted ITS, which I believe it can be used on one of the Nordic platforms already.

Arm v8 FPU questions

by Bohdan.Hunko＠infineon.com

Hi all, I have been working with FPU lately and I have a few questions regarding this topic: Looks like there are 4 use cases of FPU usage: FPU is used in Use case number SPE NSPE 1 - - 2 - + 3 + - 4 + + From https://tf-m-user-guide.trustedfirmware.org/integration_guide/tfm_fpu_suppo… my understanding is following: 1. If SPE and NSPE both does not use SPU (use case 1) then they both must be compiler with fp=soft? 2. consistent FP ABI types between SPE and NSPE must be used. So even if only one of SPE or NSPE (use cases 2 and 3) does not use FPU they both still must be compiler with fp=hard Also if both SPE and NSPE use PFU then they both must be compiler with fp=hard 3. Even if FPU is not used by NSPE, NSPE still MUST enable CP10 an CP11? - Is this correct? Is it possible to enable FPU for SPE but don't enable CP10 and CP11 in NSPE? So basically if either SPE or NSPE or both of them need to use FPU then both of them need to enable CP10 and CP11 and be compiled with fp=hard Is my understanding correct? Inline comments are welcome. Regards, Bohdan Hunko Cypress Semiconductor Ukraine Engineer CSUKR CSS ICW SW FW Mobile: +38099 50 19 714 Bohdan.Hunko(a)infineon.com<mailto:Bohdan.Hunko@infineon.com>

How to disable all interrupts on ARM V8?

by Bohdan.Hunko＠infineon.com

Hi all, From what I have seen, looks like __disable_irq() only disables non-secure interrupts when called from NSPE on ARM v8 arch. Am I correct? If so then how can I disable all interrupts (including secure interrupts) from NSPE? - We need this for critical section and other critical code.
