34# 1. Introduction
35The `optee_os git`, contains the source code for the TEE in Linux using the
36ARM® TrustZone® technology. This component meets the GlobalPlatform
37TEE System Architecture specification. It also provides the TEE Internal core API
38v1.1 as defined by the GlobalPlatform TEE Standard for the development of
39Trusted Applications. For a general overview of OP-TEE and to find out how to
40contribute, please see the [Notice.md](Notice.md) file.
41
42The Trusted OS is accessible from the Rich OS (Linux) using the
43[GlobalPlatform TEE Client API Specification v1.0](http://www.globalplatform.org/specificationsdevice.asp),
44which also is used to trigger secure execution of applications within the TEE.

56## 3. Platforms supported
57Several platforms are supported. In order to manage slight differences
58between platforms, a `PLATFORM_FLAVOR` flag has been introduced.
59The `PLATFORM` and `PLATFORM_FLAVOR` flags define the whole configuration
60for a chip the where the Trusted OS runs. Note that there is also a
61composite form which makes it possible to append `PLATFORM_FLAVOR` directly,
62by adding a dash in-between the names. The composite form is shown below
63for the different boards. For more specific details about build flags etc,
64please read the file [build_system.md](documentation/build_system.md). Some
65platforms have different sub-maintainers, please refer to the file
66[MAINTAINERS.md](MAINTAINERS.md) for contact details for various platforms.

84### 3.1 Development board for community user
85For community users, we suggest using [HiKey board](https://www.96boards.org/products/ce/hikey/)
86as development board. It provides detailed documentation including chip
87datasheet, board schematics, source code, binaries etc on the download link at
88the website.
89
90---
91## 4. Get and build OP-TEE software
92There are a couple of different build options depending on the target you are
93going to use. If you just want to get the software and compile it, then you
94should follow the instructions under the "Basic setup" below. In case you are
95going to run for a certain hardware or FVP, QEMU for example, then please follow
96the respective section found below instead, having that said, we are moving from
97the shell script based setups to instead use
98[repo](https://source.android.com/source/downloading.html), so for some targets
99you will see that we are using repo ([section 5](#5-repo-manifests)) and for
100others we are still using the shell script based setup
101([section 4](#4-get-and-build-op-tee-software)), please see this transitions as
102work in progress.
103
104---
105### 4.1 Prerequisites
106We believe that you can use any Linux distribution to build OP-TEE, but as
107maintainers of OP-TEE we are mainly using Ubuntu-based distributions and to be
108able to build and run OP-TEE there are a few packages that needs to be installed
109to start with. Therefore install the following packages regardless of what
110target you will use in the end.
111```
112$ sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot autoconf bison \
113               cscope curl flex gdisk libc6:i386 libfdt-dev \
114               libglib2.0-dev libpixman-1-dev libstdc++6:i386 \
115               libz1:i386 netcat python-crypto python-serial \
116                       python-wand uuid-dev xdg-utils xz-utils zlib1g-dev
117```
118
119---
120### 4.2 Basic setup
121#### 4.2.1 Get the compiler
122We strive to use the latest available compiler from Linaro. Start by downloading
123and unpacking the compiler. Then export the `PATH` to the compilers `bin`
124folder. Beware that we are using a couple of different toolchains depending on
125the target device. This includes both 64- and 32-bit toolchains. For the exact
126toolchain in use, please have a look at [toolchain.mk](https://github.com/OP-TEE/build/blob/master/toolchain.mk)
127and then look at the targets makefile (see [build.git](https://github.com/OP-TEE/build))
128to find out where the respective toolchain will be used. For example in the
129[QEMU makefile](https://github.com/OP-TEE/build/blob/master/qemu.mk#L12-L15) you
130will see:
131```
132CROSS_COMPILE_NS_USER       ?= "$(CCACHE)$(AARCH32_CROSS_COMPILE)"
133CROSS_COMPILE_NS_KERNEL     ?= "$(CCACHE)$(AARCH32_CROSS_COMPILE)"
134CROSS_COMPILE_S_USER        ?= "$(CCACHE)$(AARCH32_CROSS_COMPILE)"
135CROSS_COMPILE_S_KERNEL      ?= "$(CCACHE)$(AARCH32_CROSS_COMPILE)"
136```
137
138However, if you only want to compile optee_os, then you can do like this:
139```
140$ cd $HOME
141$ mkdir toolchains
142$ cd toolchains
143$ wget http://releases.linaro.org/14.08/components/toolchain/binaries/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.9-2014.08_linux.tar.xz
144$ tar xvf gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.9-2014.08_linux.tar.xz
145$ export PATH=$HOME/toolchains/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.9-2014.08_linux/bin:$PATH
146```
147
148#### 4.2.2 Download the source code
149```
150$ cd $HOME
151$ mkdir devel
152$ cd devel
153$ git clone https://github.com/OP-TEE/optee_os.git
154```
155
156#### 4.2.3 Build
157```
158$ cd $HOME/devel/optee_os
159$ CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- make
160```
161
162#### 4.2.4 Compiler flags
163To be able to see the full command when building you could build using
164following flag:
165```
166$ make V=1
167```
168
169To enable debug builds use the following flag:
170```
171$ make DEBUG=1
172```
173
174OP-TEE supports a couple of different levels of debug prints for both TEE core
175itself and for the Trusted Applications. The level ranges from 1 to 4, where
176four is the most verbose. To set the level you use the following flag:
177```
178$ make CFG_TEE_CORE_LOG_LEVEL=4
179```
180
181---
182### 4.4 STMicroelectronics boards
183Currently OP-TEE is supported on Orly-2 (`b2020-h416`) and Cannes family
184(`b2120` both `h310` and `h410` chip).
185
186#### 4.4.1 Get the compiler for Orly-2
187Will be written soon.

211### 4.5 Allwinner A80
212
213#### 4.5.1 Locked versus unlocked A80 boards
214**Important!** All A80 boards sold to the general public are boards where secure
215side has been locked down, which means that you **cannot** use them for secure
216side development, i.e, it will not be possible to put OP-TEE on those devices.
217If you want to use A80 board for secure side development, then you will need to
218talk to
219[Allwinner](https://github.com/OP-TEE/optee_os/blob/master/MAINTAINERS.md)
220directly and ask if it is possible get a device from them.
221
222#### 4.5.2 Get the compiler and source
223Follow the instructions in the "4.2 Basic setup".
224
225#### 4.5.3 Build
226```
227$ cd optee_os
228$ export PLATFORM=sunxi
229$ export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-
230$ make
231```
232
233#### 4.5.4 Prepare the images to run on A80 Board
234
235Download Allwinner A80 platform SDK, the SDK refers to Allwinner A80 platform
236SDK root directory. A80 SDK directory tree looks like this:
237```
238SDK/
239    Android
240    lichee
241```
242`Android` contains all source code related to Android and `lichee`
243contains the bootloader and Linux kernel.
244
245##### 4.5.4.1 Copy OP-TEE output to package directory
246Copy the OP-TEE output binary to `SDK/lichee/tools/pack/sun9i/bin`
247
248```
249$ cd optee_os
250$ cp ./out/arm32-plat-sunxi/core/tee.bin SDK/lichee/tools/pack/sun9i/bin
251```
252
253##### 4.5.4.2 Build Linux kernel
254In the `lichee` directory, run the following commands:
255```
256$ cd SDK/lichee
257$ ./build.sh
258```
259
260##### 4.5.4.3 Build Android
261In the Android directory, run the following commands:
262```
263$ cd SDK/android
264$ extract-bsp
265$ make -j
266```
267
268##### 4.5.4.4 Create the Android image
269In the Android directory, run the following commands:
270```
271$ cd SDK/android
272$ pack
273```
274The output image will been signed internally when packed. The output image name
275is `a80_android_board.img`.
276
277##### 4.5.4.5 Download the Android image
278Use `Allwinner PhoenixSuit` tool to download to A80 board.
279Choose the output image(`a80_android_board.img`), select download and wait
280for the download to complete.
281
282#### 4.5.5 Boot and run the software on A80 Board
283When the host platform is Windows, use a console application to connect A80
284board `uart0`. In the console window, You can install OP-TEE linux kernel
285driver `optee.ko`, load OP-TEE-Client daemon `tee-supplicant` and run
286the example "hello world" Trusted Application, do this by running:
287```
288$ insmod /system/vendor/modules/optee.ko
289$ /system/bin/tee-supplicant &
290$ /system/bin/tee-helloworld
291```
292
293---
294### 4.6 Freescale MX6UL EVK
295Build:
296```
297    PLATFORM_FLAVOR=mx6ulevk make PLATFORM=imx
298    ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary out/arm-plat-imx/core/tee.elf optee.bin
299    copy optee.bin to the first partition of SD card which is used for boot.
300```
301Run using U-Boot:
302```
303    run loadfdt;
304    run loadimage;
305    fatload mmc 1:1 0x9c100000 optee.bin;
306    run mmcargs;
307    bootz ${loadaddr} - ${fdt_addr};
308```
309
310Note:
311    CAAM is not implemented now, this will be added later.
312
313---
314## 5. repo manifests
315
316A Git repository is available at https://github.com/OP-TEE/manifest where you
317will find XML-files for use with the Android 'repo' tool.
318
319### 5.1. Install repo
320Follow the instructions under the "Installing Repo" section
321[here](https://source.android.com/source/downloading.html).
322
323### 5.2. Get the source code
324First ensure that you have the necessary Ubuntu packages installed, see [4.1
325Prerequisites](#41-prerequisites) (this is the only important step from section
3264 in case you are setting up any of the target devices mentioned below).
327
328```
329$ mkdir -p $HOME/devel/optee
330$ cd $HOME/devel/optee
331$ repo init -u https://github.com/OP-TEE/manifest.git -m ${TARGET}.xml [-b ${BRANCH}]
332$ repo sync
333```
334**Notes**<br>
335* The folder could be at any location, we are just giving a suggestion by
336  saying `$HOME/devel/optee`.
337* `repo sync` can take an additional parameter -j to sync multiple remotes. For
338   example `repo sync -j3` will sync three remotes in parallel.
339
340#### 5.2.1 Targets
341| Target | Latest | Stable |
342|--------|--------|--------|
343| QEMU | `default.xml` | `default_stable.xml` |
344| FVP | `fvp.xml` | `fvp_stable.xml` |
345| HiKey | `hikey.xml` | `hikey_stable.xml` |
346| HiKey Debian (experimental) | `hikey_debian.xml` | Not available |
347| MediaTek MT8173 EVB Board | `mt8173-evb.xml` | `mt8173-evb_stable.xml` |
348| ARM Juno board| `juno.xml` | `juno_stable.xml` |
349
350#### 5.2.2 Branches
351Currently we are only using one branch, i.e, the `master` branch.
352
353#### 5.2.3 Get the toolchains
354This is a one time thing you run only once after getting all the source code
355using repo.
356```
357$ cd build
358$ make toolchains
359```
360
361---
362### 5.3. QEMU
363After getting the source and toolchain, just run (from the `build` folder)
364```
365$ make all run
366```
367and everything should compile and at the end QEMU should start.
368
369---
370### 5.4. FVP
371After getting the source and toolchain you must also obtain Foundation Model
372([link](http://www.arm.com/products/tools/models/fast-models/foundation-model.php))
373binaries and untar it to the forest root, then just run (from the `build` folder)
374
375```
376$ make all run
377```
378and everything should compile and at the end FVP should start.
379
380---
381### 5.5. HiKey
382#### 5.5.1 Initramfs based
383After getting the source and toolchain, just run (from the `build` folder)
384```
385$ make all
386```
387
388After that connect the board and flash the binaries by running:
389```
390$ make flash
391```
392
393(more information about how to flash individual binaries could be found
394[here](https://github.com/96boards/documentation/wiki/HiKeyUEFI#flash-binaries-to-emmc-))
395
396The board is ready to be booted.
397#### 5.5.2 Debian based / 96boards RPB (experimental)
398Start by getting the source and toolchain (see above), then continue by
399downloading the system image (root fs). Note that this step is something you
400only should do once.
401
402```
403$ make system-img
404```
405
406Which should be followed by
407```
408$ make all
409```
410
411When everything has been built, flash the files to the device:
412```
413$ make flash
414```
415
416Now you can boot up the device, note that OP-TEE normal world binaries still
417hasn't been put on the device at this stage. So by now you're basically booting
418up an RPB build. When you have a prompt, the next step is to connect the device
419to the network. WiFi is preferable, since HiKey has no Ethernet jack. Easiest is
420to edit `/etc/network/interfaces`. To find out what to add, run:
421```
422$ make help
423```
424
425When that's been added, reboot and when you have a prompt again, you're ready to
426push the OP-TEE client binaries and the kernel with OP-TEE support. First find
427out the IP for your device (`ifconfig`). Then send the files to HiKey by
428running:
429```
430$ IP=111.222.333.444 make send
431
432Credentials for the image are:
433username: linaro
434password: linaro
435```
436
437When the files has been transfered, please follow the commands from the `make
438send` command which will install the debian packages on the device. Typically it
439tells you to run something like this on the device itself:
440```
441$ dpkg --force-all -i /tmp/out/optee_2.0-1.deb
442$ dpkg --force-all -i /tmp/linux-image-*.deb
443```
444
445Now you are ready to use OP-TEE on HiKey using Debian, please goto step 6 below
446to continue.
447
448##### Good to know
449Just want to update secure side? Put the device in fastboot mode and
450```
451$ make arm-tf
452$ make flash-fip
453
454```
455
456Just want to update OP-TEE client software? Put the device in fastboot mode and
457```
458$ make optee-client
459$ make xtest
460```
461
462Boot up the device and follow the instructions from make send
463```
464$ IP=111.222.333.444 make send
465```
466
467---
468### 5.6. MT8173-EVB
469After getting the source and toolchain, just run (from the `build` folder)
470
471```
472$ make all run
473```
474
475When `< waiting for device >` prompt appears, press reset button and the
476flashing procedure should begin.
477
478---

506```
507
508Flash the binary by running (note the IP address from above):
509```
510make JUNO_IP=192.168.1.158 flash
511```
512
513Once the binaries are transferred, reboot the board:
514```
515Cmd> reboot
516
517```
518
519#### 5.7.1 Update flash and its layout
520The flash in the board may need to be updated for the flashing above to
521work.  If the flashing fails or if ARM-TF refuses to boot due to wrong
522version of the SCP binary the flash needs to be updated. To update the
523flash please follow the instructions at [Using Linaro's deliverable on
524Juno](https://community.arm.com/docs/DOC-10804) selecting one of the zips
525under "4.1 Prebuilt configurations" flashing it as described under "5.
526Running the software".
527
528#### 5.7.2 GlobalPlatform testsuite support
529##### Warning :
530Depending on the Juno pre-built configuration, the built ramdisk.img
531size with GlobalPlatform testsuite may exceed its pre-defined Juno flash
532memory reserved location (image.txt file).
533In that case, you will need to extend the Juno flash block size reserved
534location for the ramdisk.img in the image.txt file accordingly and
535follow the instructions under "5.7.1 Update flash and its layout".
536
537##### Example with juno-latest-busybox-uboot.zip:
538The current ramdisk.img size with GlobalPlatform testsuite
539is 8.6 MBytes.

559```
560
561#### 5.7.3 GCC5 support
562##### Note :
563In case you are using the **Latest version** of the ARM Juno board (this is
564`juno.xml` manifest), the built `ramdisk.img` size with GCC5 compiler, at
565the moment, exceeds its pre-defined Juno flash memory reserved location
566(`image.txt` file).
567
568To solve this problem you will need to extend the Juno flash block size
569reserved location for the `ramdisk.img` and decrease the size for other
570images in the `image.txt` file accordingly and then follow the instructions
571under "5.7.1 Update flash and its layout".
572
573##### Example with juno-latest-busybox-uboot.zip:
574The current `ramdisk.img` size with GCC5 compiler is 29.15 MBytes we will
575extend it to  32 MBytes. The only changes that you need to do are those in
576**bold**

609### 5.8 Tips and tricks
610#### 5.8.1 Reference existing project to speed up repo sync
611Doing a `repo init`, `repo sync` from scratch can take a fair amount of time.
612The main reason for that is simply because of the size of some of the gits we
613are using, like for the Linux kernel and EDK2. With repo you can reference an
614existing forest and by doing so you can speed up repo sync to instead taking ~20
615seconds instead of an hour. The way to do this are as follows.
616
6171. Start by setup a clean forest that you will not touch, in this example, let
618   us call that `optee-ref` and put that under for `$HOME/devel/optee-ref`. This
619   step will take roughly an hour.
6202. Then setup a cronjob (`crontab -e`) that does a `repo sync` in this folder
621   particular folder once a night (that is more than enough).
6223. Now you should setup your actual tree which you are going to use as your
623   working tree. The way to do this is almost the same as stated in the
624   instructions above, the only difference is that you reference the other local
625   forest when running `repo init`, like this
626   ```
627   repo init -u https://github.com/OP-TEE/manifest.git --reference /home/jbech/devel/optee-ref
628   ```
6294. The rest is the same above, but now it will only take a couple of seconds to
630   clone a forest.
631
632Normally step 1 and 2 above is something you will only do once. Also if you
633ignore step 2, then you will still get the latest from official git trees, since
634repo will also check for updates that aren't at the local reference.
635
636#### 5.8.2. Use ccache
637ccache is a tool that caches build object-files etc locally on the disc and can
638speed up build time significantly in subsequent builds. On Debian-based systems
639(Ubuntu, Mint etc) you simply install it by running:
640```
641$ sudo apt-get install ccache
642```
643
644The helper makefiles are configured to automatically find and use ccache if
645ccache is installed on your system, so other than having it installed you don't
646have to think about anything.
647
648---
649## 6. Load driver, tee-supplicant and run xtest
650Since release v2.0.0 you don't have to load the kernel driver explicitly. In the
651standard configuration it will be built into the kernel directly. To actually
652run something on a device you however need to run tee-supplicant. This is the
653same for all platforms, so when a device has booted, then run
654```
655$ tee-supplicant &
656```
657and OP-TEE is ready to be used.
658
659In case you want to try run something that triggers both normal and secure side
660code you could run xtest (the main test suite for OP-TEE), run
661```
662$ xtest
663```
664
665---
666## 7. Coding standards
667In this project we are trying to adhere to the same coding convention as used in
668the Linux kernel (see
669[CodingStyle](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/CodingStyle)). We achieve this by running
670[checkpatch](http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/scripts/checkpatch.pl)
671from Linux kernel. However there are a few exceptions that we had to make since
672the code also follows GlobalPlatform standards. The exceptions are as follows:
673
674- CamelCase for GlobalPlatform types are allowed.
675- And we also exclude checking third party code that we might use in this
676  project, such as LibTomCrypt, MPA, newlib (not in this particular git, but
677  those are also part of the complete TEE solution). The reason for excluding
678  and not fixing third party code is because we would probably deviate too much
679  from upstream and therefore it would be hard to rebase against those projects
680  later on (and we don't expect that it is easy to convince other software
681  projects to change coding style).
682
683### 7.1 checkpatch
684Since checkpatch is licensed under the terms of GNU GPL License Version 2, we
685cannot include this script directly into this project. Therefore we have
686written the Makefile so you need to explicitly point to the script by exporting
687an environment variable, namely CHECKPATCH. So, suppose that the source code for
688the Linux kernel is at `$HOME/devel/linux`, then you have to export like follows:
689
690    $ export CHECKPATCH=$HOME/devel/linux/scripts/checkpatch.pl
691thereafter it should be possible to use one of the different checkpatch targets
692in the [Makefile](Makefile). There are targets for checking all files, checking
693against latest commit, against a certain base-commit etc. For the details, read
694the [Makefile](Makefile).
