Hello,
Quite some time ago there was a proposal to move TF-M into GitHub. The main motivation is: more convenient review process, the Wiki for knowledge sharing and issue tracking facility.
This idea had been discussed multiple times in TSC. The following options were considered:
1. Hybrid: Add TF-M on GitHub with 2 ways synchronization between GitHub and existing Git/Gerrit
2. GitHub only: Move to GitHub completely and drop Gerrit.
3. Mirror: Create a read-only mirror on GitHub. TF-M review process stays in Gerrit but Wiki and issue tracking are on GitHub.
4. Nothing: Stay on Gerrit as good enough solution.
The options are ordered by complexity and cost each has pros and cons. The Mirror option (3) seeing as the best compromise and practically affordable in a short time.
Please share your opinion and comments on the topic with any dependencies or specific requirements to be considered.
Thanks,
Anton

Hi.
I've been working on making an example on how an application can use the secure interrupts in a secure partition in TF-M.
During this I've encountered an issue where the secure partition will not be scheduled to process the secure interrupt signal in certain conditions.
I've compared it to the current SLIH and FLIH test cases to my observed behaviour and I could see that they did not have this problem.
I've created a test-case that triggers the problem [0].
In the mailing list I can see that this was actually discussed recently [1]
The summary is that secure partitions will not be scheduled to process a secure interrupt signal when the interrupt is interrupting the NSPE.
I could not find that this was documented anyway, but maybe I have overlooked.
In any case I find this behaviour very unexpected and I would like to know if this is indeed a design decision and the behaviour has to be this way?
If I wanted to do some processing in the secure partition context it would now mean that I have to get the NSPE to trigger this through a secure partition call.
This seems like a limitation to me .
I'd like to know what would be the issue with scheduling the partition once it now has the signal asserted.
I've done a quick test with scheduling the partition at this point with [2] and this now works as I expect it to.
I'd be happy to follow up with submitting a change to schedule the partition as done in [2] if that is an acceptable solution.

Hi,
Just a reminder that the MCUboot version has been upgraded to v1.9.0<https://github.com/mcu-tools/mcuboot/releases/tag/v1.9.0> in TF-M. If you are using the local MCUboot repo, then you need to update it to that version to avoid build error.

Hello,
TF-M release v1.6.0 will be shifted from April 15 to April 28. The main reason is Easter holiday and expected lack of availability from community and platform owners around that date. Feature freeze will be moved to April 6th when the release branch will be created.
Please update your plans accordingly.
Please let me know if this change make difficulty for you and better date is possible.
Thanks,
Anton
