Thanks for the notes. Since last week I've now:
1. downloaded today's latest repo (12 October, commit 8bebd05745a8b27dccc6403f0215fa6e39de3bc1, and
2. added the VS compiler to the "valid" checks at CmakeLists.txt line 17.
Using the -G option allows the make to complete (apparently), but the install script fails (in both GitBash and CMD).
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
Thanks Soby for sorting it out.
Sounds like a right way to go and cleanall shall do that job.
For me it looks like an exceptional case while the main scenario for a daily development shall be the one, described by Karl : downloaded dependencies explicitly specified by paths outside of TF-M tree via command line, or via project config file (suggested).
And true, both cases shall be explicitly documented.
Hope it helps,
Anton

Thanks Karl, Gyorgy for your inputs.
I agree with the principle that `BUILD` shall be only folder the cmake modifies. The trouble is, after a `make clean`, there are still artefacts from the previous configuration which affects the new build and gives the wrong output. Hence the suggestion to introduce a `cleanall` custom target which endeavours to clean the all the remnant config information from previous build and leave auto cloned dependant repositories untouched (or maybe print some status info).
Does that sound like a good plan then ?

Hi,
I think the build directory is owned by cmake and the same rules shall apply to all files there. Also the only directory cmake does modify without the users consent shall be the build directory. As long as cmake is owning the external dependencies it is the responsibility of the build system to keep the dependencies in a healthy state and to ensure the correct version is built. To do this safely the "clean" operation, which is used to get out of a "non-operational" state, shall fix the dependencies too.
So the correct operation (in my opinion) is to make the dependency download work in the following way:
* If the dependency is already present at the target location, cmake shall use it as is. Possibly some status information should be printed (i.e. version number, if the git working copy is dirty etc...)
* If not cmake shall do the fetch.
This way if the user specify an external location (one not in the build directory), cmake will "export" the dependency when the first fetch is done, and do no modifications after. This gives us a well-defined act of handing over the responsibility of keeping the dependency clean.
As far as I can see (was not digging into the details) this more or less matches how the current implementation works, and what is missing is more details in the documentation.

I met the same problem before, and I think your suggestions are helpful. There might be more check needed if the 'make clean' does not delete the auto cloned repos. Because the dependencies may update by a new TFM commit.
The new build system supports to specify the patch of each dependency, which can avoid clone automatically to the build folder each time. Hope it can mitigate the inconvenient scenario.

Subject: [TF-M] New TF-M Build doesn't track config changes
Hi,
With the new build system, TF-M downloads all dependant repositories to the BUILD folder as part of CMAKE configuration. CMake does provide `make clean` target to clean the build and rebuild but this doesn't track any config changes between the builds. Previously, the CMake workflow was to delete all contents in the BUILD folder before re-configuring for a new build but now this means the developer has to re-download all the dependant git repositories before the project can be build again. This can be a slow and cumbersome process for developers. Deleting the CMakecache.txt doesn't seem to solve the problem either.
The most obvious solution is to move the cloned repositories outside the BUILD/ folder , so we can follow the previous workflow of deleting the BUILD folder before re-build. The sample test sequence to reproduce the problem is given below:
/* Build secure regressions test suite */
$ make clean; cmake .. -DTFM_PLATFORM=mps2/an521 -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../toolchain_GNUARM.cmake -DTEST_S=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug; make install
/* reconfigure and build PSA Crypto API test suite */
$ make clean; cmake .. -DTFM_PLATFORM=mps2/an521 -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../toolchain_GNUARM.cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DTEST_PSA_API=CRYPTO; make install
Built binary is still for regression test suite.
There are multiple suggestions to solve the problem, One is to move the clone repositories outside the BUILD/ folder, or introduce a build target like `make cleanall` which does the equivalent of rm -rf !(lib) within the BUILD folder (i.e the build target will remove all folders except the lib folder which has the cloned repositories). Please let us know of your suggestions on this.

Subject: [TF-M] Behavior difference in Crypto IPC vs Library modes
Hi all,
I'm seeking some assistance in determining the correct fix for a difference in behavior between IPC and Library modes that cause the Crypto PSA Arch Tests to fail when using IPC. Specifically, I've been testing on a PSoC64 for IPC mode and Musca-B1 for Library mode. The problem I am encountering is related to this check in crypto (e.g. crypto_aead.c in secure_fw/partitions/crypto).
if ( !((in_len == 2) || (in_len == 3)) || (out_len > 1)) {
return PSA_ERROR_CONNECTION_REFUSED;
}
This is true for direct function call since in_len and out_len are sizes of in_vec[] and out_vec[]. However, in library mode, in_len and out_len is not based on the size of in_vec[] and out_vec[] but based on the contents. Specifically, out_len is determined via the following in tfm_crypto_call_sfn().
/* Check the number of out_vec filled */
while ((out_len > 0) && (msg->out_size[out_len - 1] == 0)) {
out_len--;
}
>From the above, if out_size (which is passed in by the user) is 0, the resultant out_len will be 0. The out_len is passed into the crypto function and PSA_ERROR_CONNECTION_REFUSED is returned due to the check above. PSA, on the other hand, expects PSA_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED to be returned. Btw, in_len suffers from the same issue.
I'm not sure if the check above is valid for IPC mode. I've removed the check temporarily to avoid the problem. However, if the check still makes sense, possibly it should return PSA_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED instead of PSA_ERROR_CONNECTION_REFUSED.
Thank you. I look forward to comments.

Hi,
There is a patch that should allow better configuration of the IRQ tests / other platform-related tests, as well as clarifying the documentation.
https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m/+/6350https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/tf-m-tests/+/6351
Any reviews would be appreciated

Subject: Re: [TF-M] Disabling IRQ test with new build system
Hi Chris,
Thanks a lot for reporting this.
It looks like the IRQ test case is enabled on NS side as long as the Platform service is enabled. The IRQ test service in SPE is controlled by `TFM_ENABLE_IRQ_TEST`, which, however, is neither explicitly configured in CMake nor exported for manual configuration. Therefore IRQ test service is not enabled by default.
Thus the IRQ test case will hang the execution and configuration of IRQ test in command line won’t take effect.
I’ve been looking for the solution. Just need some time to sort out the dependencies of those test control flags in the new build system. 😊
Sorry for any inconvenience.

Hi,
The IRQ test part of the CORE_TEST is all conditioned on TFM_ENABLE_IRQ_TEST, and docs/reference/services/core_test_services_integration_guide.rst states that “A platform can skip IRQ handling test by setting ``TFM_ENABLE_IRQ_TEST`` to ``OFF`` in its cmake configuration file.”, but doing so doesn’t seem to actually work. I tried a number of options to the cmake command (including -DTFM_ENABLE_IRQ_TES=OFF, -U TFM_ENABLE_IRQ_TEST), too, but I can’t figure out how to avoid that test.

cmake -DTFM_PLATFORM=mps2/an519 -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/home/buildslave/workspace/tf-m-build-config/trusted-firmware-m/toolchain_GNUARM.cmake -DTFM_PSA_API=True -DTFM_ISOLATION_LEVEL=1 -DTEST_NS=False -DTEST_S=False -DTEST_PSA_API=OFF -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCRYPTO_HW_ACCELERATOR_OTP_STATE=False -DBL2=False -DNS=False -DTFM_TEST_REPO_PATH=/home/buildslave/workspace/tf-m-build-config/trusted-firmware-m/../tf-m-tests -DMBEDCRYPTO_PATH=/home/buildslave/workspace/tf-m-build-config/trusted-firmware-m/../mbedtls -DPSA_ARCH_TESTS_PATH=/home/buildslave/workspace/tf-m-build-config/trusted-firmware-m/../psa-arch-tests -DMCUBOOT_PATH=/home/buildslave/workspace/tf-m-build-config/trusted-firmware-m/../mcuboot -DTFM_PROFILE= /home/buildslave/workspace/tf-m-build-config/trusted-firmware-m

Subject: [TF-M] New TF-M Build doesn't track config changes
Hi,
With the new build system, TF-M downloads all dependant repositories to the BUILD folder as part of CMAKE configuration. CMake does provide `make clean` target to clean the build and rebuild but this doesn't track any config changes between the builds. Previously, the CMake workflow was to delete all contents in the BUILD folder before re-configuring for a new build but now this means the developer has to re-download all the dependant git repositories before the project can be build again. This can be a slow and cumbersome process for developers. Deleting the CMakecache.txt doesn't seem to solve the problem either.
The most obvious solution is to move the cloned repositories outside the BUILD/ folder , so we can follow the previous workflow of deleting the BUILD folder before re-build. The sample test sequence to reproduce the problem is given below:
/* Build secure regressions test suite */
$ make clean; cmake .. -DTFM_PLATFORM=mps2/an521 -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../toolchain_GNUARM.cmake -DTEST_S=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug; make install
/* reconfigure and build PSA Crypto API test suite */
$ make clean; cmake .. -DTFM_PLATFORM=mps2/an521 -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../toolchain_GNUARM.cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DTEST_PSA_API=CRYPTO; make install
Built binary is still for regression test suite.
There are multiple suggestions to solve the problem, One is to move the clone repositories outside the BUILD/ folder, or introduce a build target like `make cleanall` which does the equivalent of rm -rf !(lib) within the BUILD folder (i.e the build target will remove all folders except the lib folder which has the cloned repositories). Please let us know of your suggestions on this.
Best Regards
Soby Mathew
