Hi,
I would like to continue the discussion on TF-M semantic versioning started on the last tech forum.
Currently TF-M uses a loosely defined versioning schema with major and minor versions, following TF-A.
There are several calls to switch TF-M to semantic versioning.
Here is the reminder of the meaning: (https://semver.org/) v1.2.3 :
1. MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes,
2. MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards compatible manner, and
3. PATCH version when you make backwards compatible bug fixes.
This is a good way to go for a mature project but TF-M will overkill from everyday re-versioning because of new patches. It was discussed on the forum and several options were proposed:
1. Do nothing, reasonably bumping up versions on release time only.
2. Use semantic versioning ignoring changes in PATCH by keeping it 0. So upcoming version could be: v1.2.0, next v1.3.0 and nothing in between.
3. Use option 2 but change PATCH when critical code change delivered within release cadence like a security vulnerability fix to let down-stream project relay on a fixed version.
4. Other ideas?
Personally I tend to follow option 3 but looking for the community input.
Thanks,
Anton.

Hi Antonio,
I'm not sure if this helps, but here is an example of how we sign the binaries for the MPS2 AN521, for example, after building the TF-M and Zephyr NS images, plus MCUBoot:

I found the assemble.py script but I don’t know whether it is the correct one or where to find the signing_layout.
To be more specific, for my current target musca-a (going to switch to musca-s as soon as it arrives):

Now (I suppose) I have to
· merge zephyr.bin with tfm_s.bin
· sign the merged binary
· concatenate with bl2
I could not find any reference how to correctly do these last steps.

Hi,
As an intermediate step, we've made a modification to the file generation code
so that file can be generated without cmake being run.
This generation can be run by:
```
python3 tools/tfm_parse_manifest_list.py -m tools/tfm_manifest_list.yaml -f tools/tfm_generated_file_list.yaml -o <output dir>
```
Which will output the files into the specified output directory. if the `-o` flag is not provided then the files will be generated into the TFM source tree.
Note that this method still requires knowledge of the location of some
dependencies, as this cannot be provided by cmake. When run in standalone mode,
these paths are gathered from environment variables, and generation will fail if
those variables are not set. Thus:
```
env TFM_TEST_PATH=$(realpath ../tf-m-tests/test) python3 tools/tfm_parse_manifest_list.py -m tools/tfm_manifest_list.yaml -f tools/tfm_generated_file_list.yaml
```

Hi Anton
If it’s not possible to avoid a file generation now, it’s good to have pre-generated files for a most typical configuration (l2, IPC etc.).
As I mentioned before, ideally to use TFM as a real component/framework without generation of any source code.
BUT If you believe, this requirement breaks a TFM concept, just tell us.
Thanks,
Andrej

Hi Andrej,
Essentially, do you mean to move the files back to code tree and synch them with templates manually as it was ?

Hi Anton,
Another option:
3. Avoid the mandatory on-the-fly generation.
Try to make TFM a component/framework, which is configurable by compile & run time parameters.

Subject: [TF-M] Generated files location
Hi,
Some source files in TF-M are templated and generated inside /<build_dir>/generated/ on the fly as a part of build process. This guaranty consistency between templates and generated but might make a trouble for IDE, where not all source files exist at the first run.
I see 2 options for solution:
1. Explicitly generate those files via cmake as a part of IDE project creation (1 time action)
2. Relay on CMSIS Pack for IDE, where generated files must be presents
Any alternative thoughts?
Anton

Hi,
I believe there is a small typo in the return value of function ps_read_object (ps_object_system.c). This results in build failure of Non-encrypted Protected Storage.
https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m.git/tree/secure_fw/…
The define used should be "PSA_ERROR_DATA_CORRUPT" and not "PSA_PS_ERROR_DATA_CORRUPT".

Hi,
With the upcoming release of TF-M 1.2, we are considering deprecating the GNU Arm compiler v6.3.1 to be able to reallocate testing bandwidth to newer and more up to date versions ( 7+ )
Before doing so I would like to ask for the community's feedback. Is anyone using this compiler, and if so, would you be affected by the change? Are there any other reasons we should consider keeping it in to the test plan?
Regards,
Minos
