Reducing the stack usage of the dummy NV counters implementation

by Jamie Fox

Hi all, While optimising SST stack usage, we found that we were blocked from reducing it further by the stack usage of the dummy NV counters implementation used by all of the development platforms currently maintained in the repo. SST makes calls to the NV counter interface, so any stack used by this implementation gets allocated from the SST stack. The current dummy NV counter implementation reads the entire flash sector containing the counters (generally 4KB) into stack memory, so that it can erase the sector and then re-write the same sector with a counter incremented. It needs to do this because the sector might contain some other data, unrelated to NV counters. I am proposing that we simplify this dummy implementation to assume that the dummy NV counters are the only thing in the sector. Then only the NV counters themselves (currently 28 bytes) need to be read into memory for modification. The downside of this of course is that a whole 4KB flash sector needs to be set aside for the dummy NV counters. This seems bad, but it is worth bearing in mind that this is only a dummy implementation that should never be deployed in a real system. In practice, it seems unlikely to me that we would ever want to make use of the partial-sector left after the dummy NV counters anyway, and no platform currently does. With this change made, the stack allocated for SST can be reduced from 6KB to 2.5KB (in this patch https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/1775). The change is currently on review here https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/1918/ Feedback and alternative ideas are welcome 😊 Kind regards, Jamie

Re: [TF-M] feature-twincpu, unable to configure & build

feature-twincpu, unable to configure & build

by Thomas Törnblom

I have been tasked with making the twincpu feature work with the IAR toolchain, and I started out trying to build it with clang and gcc but it seems there's some issues with it. I tried using the psoc6 target, but it appears that none of the v6/v7 targets are supported in configs/ConfigDefault.cmake. If I add that the build then fails with a complaint about "Armv6-M/Armv7-M can only support multi-core TF-M now." from tfm_arch_v6m_v7m.h, due to TFM_MULTI_CORE_TOPOLOGY not being set, but that appears to be set in one of the cmake files so I guess something is currently broken. Is this a known issue and is there are known fix? /Thomas -- *Thomas Törnblom*, /Product Engineer/ IAR Systems AB Box 23051, Strandbodgatan 1 SE-750 23 Uppsala, SWEDEN Mobile: +46 76 180 17 80 Fax: +46 18 16 78 01 E-mail: thomas.tornblom(a)iar.com <mailto:thomas.tornblom@iar.com> Website: www.iar.com <http://www.iar.com> Twitter: www.twitter.com/iarsystems <http://www.twitter.com/iarsystems>

adding an option to run code from RAM

by Andrei Narkevitch

Hello, I'm proposing to add an option to support code execution from device RAM. Basically, it comes to defining a new TFM_RAM_CODE SRAM region in gcc and clang linker scripts for code with .*_ramfunc attribute. This region is intended for privileged secure code running from SRAM. With this, whenever you define an attribute e.g. my_ramfunc, this function will be placed into SRAM instead of Flash. An example: _attribute__((section("my_ramfunc"))) void my_function(void) {}; Implementation: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/1815 thanks, Andrei This message and any attachments may contain confidential information from Cypress or its subsidiaries.
