Hi All, In preparation to the Firmware-A v2.12 bundle release the following TF-A/TF-A-tests/Hafnium/RMM/CI project tags were applied: https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/refs/tags/v2.12-r… https://git.trustedfirmware.org/tf-a-tests/+/refs/tags/v2.12-rc0 https://git.trustedfirmware.org/ci/tf-a-ci-scripts/+/refs/tags/v2.12-rc0 https://git.trustedfirmware.org/ci/tf-a-job-configs/+/refs/tags/v2.12-rc0 https://git.trustedfirmware.org/hafnium/hafnium.git/+/refs/tags/v2.12-rc0 https://git.trustedfirmware.org/ci/hafnium-ci-scripts.git/+/refs/tags/v2.12… https://git.trustedfirmware.org/ci/hafnium-job-configs.git/+/refs/tags/v2.1… https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-RMM/tf-rmm/+/refs/tags/tf-rmm-v0.6.0-rc0 Trees are frozen still accepting security or bug fixes until the release close down happening end next week (hopefully!). For partners, it will help if tests are run against those trees on downstream platforms and spot any issue hit before the final tagging. -- Thanks, Govindraj R ________________________________ From: Govindraj Raja via TF-A-Tests <tf-a-tests(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Sent: Monday, October 14, 2024 20:18 To: Joanna Farley via TF-A <tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org>; tf-a-tests(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org <tf-a-tests(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Cc: hafnium(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org <hafnium(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org>; tf-rmm(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org <tf-rmm(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org>; trusted-services(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org <trusted-services(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Subject: [Tf-a-tests] Firmware-A v2.12 release code freeze notification Hi All, The next release of the Firmware-A bundle of projects tagged v2.12 has an expected code freeze date of Nov, 8th 2024. Refer to the release cadence section from TF-A documentation (https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/latest/about/release-informatio…). Closing out the release takes around 6-10 working days after the code freeze. v2.12 release preparation tasks start from now. We want to ensure that planned feature patches for the release are submitted in good time for the review process to conclude. As a kind recommendation and a matter of sharing CI resources, please launch CI jobs with care e.g.: -For simple platform, docs changes, or one liners, use Allow-CI+1 label (no need for a full Allow-CI+2 run). -For large patch stacks use Allow-CI+2 at top of the patch stack (and if required few individual Allow+CI+1 labels in the middle of the patch stack). -Carefully analyze results and fix the change if required, before launching new jobs on the same change. -If after issuing a Allow-CI+1 or Allow-CI+2 label a Build start notice is not added as a gerrit comment on the patch right away please be patient as under heavy load CI jobs can be queued and in extreme conditions it can be over an hour before the Build start notice is issued. Issuing another Allow-CI+1 or Allow-CI+2 label will just result in an additional job being queued. -- Thanks, Govindraj R -- TF-A-Tests mailing list -- tf-a-tests(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org To unsubscribe send an email to tf-a-tests-leave(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org

Rusted Firmware-A is live!

by Olivier Deprez

Hi, Relaying an important announcement about the new Rusted Firmware-A project hosted on trustedfirmware.org: Today, the Trusted Firmware organization proudly unveils Rusted Firmware-A (RF-A) v0.1 \u2014 a ground breaking open-source prototype that reimagines Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A) through the adoption of the Rust programming language. Developed in close collaboration between Arm and Google, both Diamond members of the Trusted Firmware community, RF-A has been architected from the ground up for the latest Arm® A-class processors. With a security-first approach, RF-A delivers strong memory safety, enhanced reliability, and modern modularity. Unlike incremental updates, Rusted Firmware-A is a complete redesign \u2014 free from legacy constraints, built to leverage modern hardware, and designed to provide a robust, maintainable, and future-ready firmware foundation. This milestone reflects years of industry learnings, community insights, and deep collaboration between leading software and silicon providers.
