Hi Joseph,

I finally managed to figure out what was the config issue with the release 1.6.1. Below some feedback from my side.

If you use the trusted-firmware-m-TF-Mv1.6.1.tar.gz from  trusted-firmware-m.git - Trusted Firmware for M profile Arm CPUs, just like I did, CMake will report the config error because the version.cmake tries to execute a git command to get the version, but since the tar.gz is not a git repo, the command fails. Maybe it would be good in the future to fix this if you provide releases this way. So, one can either comment out include(cmake/version.cmake) from CMakeLists.txt as a quick and dirty fix, or better checkout the tag directly from the git repo. After that, I was able to successfully run CMake.

Another point is regarding the IAR compiler: the “Getting Started” guide indicates the following IAR compiler versions: “IAR Arm compiler v8.42.x, v8.50.x”

So, I took the IAR 8.50.9. But, the release 1.6.1 uses the --fpu compiler option, which is not supported by IAR 8.50.x. I took the IAR 9.10.2 and with that I managed to build the release 1.6.1 with the regression tests.

Maybe it would be a good idea to update the IAR version in the “Getting Started” guide to the version that you use for the testing.

I’ll be doing some experiments with the release 1.6.1 next and try to create a wrapper for our OS to be able run the regression tests with that.

Hope that this feedback is useful for you.

Kind regards,

Ildikó

Hi Joseph,

Thanks for the hint regarding Python. I double-checked it, but it seems to be fine.

However, I still have issues with building the release 1.6.1. I figured it out that I need to install the 32-bit Strawberry Perl and with that CMake can find the Perl installation, but I get an error while configuring the project. You can find the full log below:

Do you have any idea what could be wrong? I cannot find any useful information in CMakeError.log or CMakeOutput.log.

The step Pulling MCUxpresso NXP SDK drivers from https://github.com/NXPmicro/mcux-sdk is OK because the files are pulled from the NXP git repo. So, it must be somewhere in the configuration, but I have no idea where to look.

The last release that I could build successfully on Windows was 1.4.1. All newer releases than that have build issues on my Windows machine.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ildikó,

You might have multiple versions of Python installed on your Windows machine.

In command shell, type

C:\> where python

You might see something like

C:\Program Files\Python37\python.exe

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python.exe

The TF-M build system might located the latest version of Python (e.g. 3.10), but when you run pip3 install -r tools\requirements.txt

It might install the modules in an older version (e.g. 3.7).

To make sure you are installing the Python tools to the right version of Python, you can specify which Python to use when running pip:

C:\>C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python -m pip install -r tools\requirements.txt

Hope this solve the Python problem.

Regards,

Joseph

Hi Anton,

Just wanted to ask if there are any updates regarding the build failure on Windows with the IAR compiler. I tried to build the head version on Win x64 for NXP LPC55S69  using

Another question regarding the latest release 1.6.1: I tried to build this too using the setup mentioned above, but I get an error for missing Perl:

CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.24/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message):

I installed Straberry Perl on my machine and added it to PATH, but the error still persists.  I tried also to re-run pip3 install -r tools\requirements.txt but it says that all the requirements are up-to-date. What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance.
