Oyvind,

Thanks for putting this together. Looks quite useful, and saves some monotony debugging.

I put together a similar script but as a Python function for GDB: https://gist.github.com/microbuilder/1677a27e4566a28b36a79f954f1dede6 ... having this in C, however, means you don't need to have a Python-enabled version of GDB.

Best regards, Kevin

Hi everyone

I wanted to make it easier to debug HardFaults/BusFaults/SecureFaults in TFM, since I’ve gotten quite a few of them while adding the nrf platforms.

I have created a proposal in https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m/+/7891 and would like to get some comments on the general idea.

The proposal gathers a number of different values, especially the ones that are harder to retrieve in a debugger, like the fault status registers in SCB.

The values are placed in memory so they can be inspected in a debugger, and if built with -DTFM_SPM_LOG_LEVEL=TFM_SPM_LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG they are also printed.

Here is an example of the printout:

FATAL ERROR: HardFault

Here is some context for the exception:

EXC_RETURN (LR): 0xFFFFFFBD

Exception came from non-secure FW in thread mode.
