Re: [TF-M] Common scatter files and templates

by David Hu (Arm Technology China)

Hi Antonio, Ken, Miklos, Currently, we use a preprocessor flag `TFM_MULTI_CORE_TOPOLOGY` to comment the veneer sections in the templates in multi-core topology. Each time before building, we have to run the Python script to generate new link script/scatter file with veneer disabled, to replace the existing ones. It becomes more inconvenient as the number of developers and users on feature-twincpu branch grows. As Chris proposed on https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/1527, does it also make sense to directly update the "generated" linker script/scatter file as well, on feature-twincpu branch? `TFM_MULTI_CORE_TOPOLOGY` will be a common flag used in multi-core topology and will help resolve our urgent problem. If the final improvement solution is completed on master branch, we will update the feature branch accordingly when merging it back to master branch. Please let me know if there is a better option for feature-twincpu branch. Thank you.

The reason for this is that the autogenerated file is not created at build time but by manually running the tfm_parse_manifest_list.py, which has to be run every time something in the manifest is changed, and the resulting autogenerated file is committed under source control as well. On the other hand, the build system could be modified to run the parsers at build time so that the autogenerated files wouldn't have to be stored in source control, and we could keep only the template. These two alternatives are both equally valid in my view, but if there is strong consensus for the other we can discuss.

Re: [TF-M] Using git submodules for dependencies?

by Kumar Gala

How would a git repo with some submodules preclude any of the things you mentioned? I guess my initial thought is that there would be an “uber” repo in which TFM, CMSIS and mbedcrypto would all be sub-modules.

Re: [TF-M] Using git submodules for dependencies?

Hi, Initial idea was to keep the external dependencies clearly visible (from code auditability point of view). With submodule we can't checkout the dependencies out of tree. Since the dependencies need to be checked out only once it was considered acceptable nuisance, until you do a pull and version of the dependencies have changed. 'repo' was considered as well, but repo tool doesn't work on windows(last I checked).

Using git submodules for dependencies?
