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

IAR ANSI C/C++ Compiler V8.50.9.278/W32 for ARM

GNU Make 3.81

git version 2.36.0.windows.1

CMake 3.24.2

Python 3.10.5

but I still get some errors. They are though not the same as during my previous try:

Could you please tell if there is any plan to fix these errors in the near future?

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):

build/lib/ext/mbedcrypto-src/library/CMakeLists.txt:115 (find_package)

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.

Hi Ildiko,

Thanks for reporting. The same defect is reproducible on other platforms and possibly caused by some recent changes.

Let me update you here when fix be available.

Best regards,

Hello,

I’m trying to build the Trusted Firmware M on Win10 x64 for NXP LPC55S69 using the IAR compiler, but I get the following error:

In the attachment, you can find the full build log and also the CMake build file generation log.

Some details about my setup:

Win10 Enterprise x64. Version 20H2

IAR ANSI C/C++ Compiler V8.50.9.278/W32 for ARM

GNU Make 3.81

git version 2.36.0.windows.1

CMake 3.24.2

Python 3.10.5

I followed the steps from the Getting started guide here than the steps to build the framework for LPC55S69 here.

Do you have any idea what I’m missing?

In case you need any further information let me please know.

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
