Hi all,
TFM in current implementation has following condition in tfm_ns_mailbox.h #if !defined(TFM_MULTI_CORE_NS_OS) && (NUM_MAILBOX_QUEUE_SLOT > 1) #error "NUM_MAILBOX_QUEUE_SLOT should be set to 1 for NS bare metal environment" #endif
I was wondering whether this is real restriction or this check can be removed. I am not mailbox expert so please correct me if I am wrong. Quick look at the code shows that it should be ok to have multi slot queue in bare metal environment, with the note that only one slot will be used (as there is only one thread). If my understanding is correct then it would be nice to remove this compile time check (I am happy to provide a patch for it).
We need this change because we deliver TFM as prebuilt binary and interface (one installed after the build). This binary is built with NUM_MAILBOX_QUEUE_SLOT = 4, so in current implementation it cant be used in bare metal environment.
