1Build Options 2============= 3 4The TF-A build system supports the following build options. Unless mentioned 5otherwise, these options are expected to be specified at the build command 6line and are not to be modified in any component makefiles. Note that the 7build system doesn't track dependency for build options. Therefore, if any of 8the build options are changed from a previous build, a clean build must be 9performed. 10 11.. _build_options_common: 12 13Common build options 14-------------------- 15 16- ``AARCH32_INSTRUCTION_SET``: Choose the AArch32 instruction set that the 17 compiler should use. Valid values are T32 and A32. It defaults to T32 due to 18 code having a smaller resulting size. 19 20- ``AARCH32_SP`` : Choose the AArch32 Secure Payload component to be built as 21 as the BL32 image when ``ARCH=aarch32``. The value should be the path to the 22 directory containing the SP source, relative to the ``bl32/``; the directory 23 is expected to contain a makefile called ``<aarch32_sp-value>.mk``. 24 25- ``AMU_RESTRICT_COUNTERS``: Register reads to the group 1 counters will return 26 zero at all but the highest implemented exception level. External 27 memory-mapped debug accesses are unaffected by this control. 28 The default value is 1 for all platforms. 29 30- ``ARCH`` : Choose the target build architecture for TF-A. It can take either 31 ``aarch64`` or ``aarch32`` as values. By default, it is defined to 32 ``aarch64``. 33 34- ``ARM_ARCH_FEATURE``: Optional Arm Architecture build option which specifies 35 one or more feature modifiers. This option has the form ``[no]feature+...`` 36 and defaults to ``none``. It translates into compiler option 37 ``-march=armvX[.Y]-a+[no]feature+...``. See compiler's documentation for the 38 list of supported feature modifiers. 39 40- ``ARM_ARCH_MAJOR``: The major version of Arm Architecture to target when 41 compiling TF-A. Its value must be numeric, and defaults to 8 . See also, 42 *Armv8 Architecture Extensions* and *Armv7 Architecture Extensions* in 43 :ref:`Firmware Design`. 44 45- ``ARM_ARCH_MINOR``: The minor version of Arm Architecture to target when 46 compiling TF-A. Its value must be a numeric, and defaults to 0. See also, 47 *Armv8 Architecture Extensions* in :ref:`Firmware Design`. 48 49- ``ARM_BL2_SP_LIST_DTS``: Path to DTS file snippet to override the hardcoded 50 SP nodes in tb_fw_config. 51 52- ``ARM_SPMC_MANIFEST_DTS`` : path to an alternate manifest file used as the 53 SPMC Core manifest. Valid when ``SPD=spmd`` is selected. 54 55- ``BL2``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to BL2 56 image for the ``fip`` target. In this case, the BL2 in the TF-A will not be 57 built. 58 59- ``BL2U``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to 60 BL2U image. In this case, the BL2U in TF-A will not be built. 61 62- ``RESET_TO_BL2``: Boolean option to enable BL2 entrypoint as the CPU reset 63 vector instead of the BL1 entrypoint. It can take the value 0 (CPU reset to BL1 64 entrypoint) or 1 (CPU reset to BL2 entrypoint). 65 The default value is 0. 66 67- ``BL2_RUNS_AT_EL3``: This is an implicit flag to denote that BL2 runs at EL3. 68 While it is explicitly set to 1 when RESET_TO_BL2 is set to 1 it can also be 69 true in a 4-world system where RESET_TO_BL2 is 0. 70 71- ``BL2_ENABLE_SP_LOAD``: Boolean option to enable loading SP packages from the 72 FIP. Automatically enabled if ``SP_LAYOUT_FILE`` is provided. 73 74- ``BL2_IN_XIP_MEM``: In some use-cases BL2 will be stored in eXecute In Place 75 (XIP) memory, like BL1. In these use-cases, it is necessary to initialize 76 the RW sections in RAM, while leaving the RO sections in place. This option 77 enable this use-case. For now, this option is only supported 78 when RESET_TO_BL2 is set to '1'. 79 80- ``BL31``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to 81 BL31 image for the ``fip`` target. In this case, the BL31 in TF-A will not 82 be built. 83 84- ``BL31_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies a 85 file that contains the BL31 private key in PEM format or a PKCS11 URI. If 86 ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, only a file is accepted and it will be used to save the key. 87 88- ``BL32``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to 89 BL32 image for the ``fip`` target. In this case, the BL32 in TF-A will not 90 be built. 91 92- ``BL32_EXTRA1``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to 93 Trusted OS Extra1 image for the ``fip`` target. 94 95- ``BL32_EXTRA2``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to 96 Trusted OS Extra2 image for the ``fip`` target. 97 98- ``BL32_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies a 99 file that contains the BL32 private key in PEM format or a PKCS11 URI. If 100 ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, only a file is accepted and it will be used to save the key. 101 102- ``RMM``: This is an optional build option used when ``ENABLE_RME`` is set. 103 It specifies the path to RMM binary for the ``fip`` target. If the RMM option 104 is not specified, TF-A builds the TRP to load and run at R-EL2. 105 106- ``BL33``: Path to BL33 image in the host file system. This is mandatory for 107 ``fip`` target in case TF-A BL2 is used. 108 109- ``BL33_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies a 110 file that contains the BL33 private key in PEM format or a PKCS11 URI. If 111 ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, only a file is accepted and it will be used to save the key. 112 113- ``BRANCH_PROTECTION``: Numeric value to enable ARMv8.3 Pointer Authentication 114 and ARMv8.5 Branch Target Identification support for TF-A BL images themselves. 115 If enabled, it is needed to use a compiler that supports the option 116 ``-mbranch-protection``. Selects the branch protection features to use: 117- 0: Default value turns off all types of branch protection 118- 1: Enables all types of branch protection features 119- 2: Return address signing to its standard level 120- 3: Extend the signing to include leaf functions 121- 4: Turn on branch target identification mechanism 122 123 The table below summarizes ``BRANCH_PROTECTION`` values, GCC compilation options 124 and resulting PAuth/BTI features. 125 126 +-------+--------------+-------+-----+ 127 | Value | GCC option | PAuth | BTI | 128 +=======+==============+=======+=====+ 129 | 0 | none | N | N | 130 +-------+--------------+-------+-----+ 131 | 1 | standard | Y | Y | 132 +-------+--------------+-------+-----+ 133 | 2 | pac-ret | Y | N | 134 +-------+--------------+-------+-----+ 135 | 3 | pac-ret+leaf | Y | N | 136 +-------+--------------+-------+-----+ 137 | 4 | bti | N | Y | 138 +-------+--------------+-------+-----+ 139 140 This option defaults to 0. 141 Note that Pointer Authentication is enabled for Non-secure world 142 irrespective of the value of this option if the CPU supports it. 143 144- ``BUILD_MESSAGE_TIMESTAMP``: String used to identify the time and date of the 145 compilation of each build. It must be set to a C string (including quotes 146 where applicable). Defaults to a string that contains the time and date of 147 the compilation. 148 149- ``BUILD_STRING``: Input string for VERSION_STRING, which allows the TF-A 150 build to be uniquely identified. Defaults to the current git commit id. 151 152- ``BUILD_BASE``: Output directory for the build. Defaults to ``./build`` 153 154- ``CFLAGS``: Extra user options appended on the compiler's command line in 155 addition to the options set by the build system. 156 157- ``COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU``: This option indicates whether the platform may 158 release several CPUs out of reset. It can take either 0 (several CPUs may be 159 brought up) or 1 (only one CPU will ever be brought up during cold reset). 160 Default is 0. If the platform always brings up a single CPU, there is no 161 need to distinguish between primary and secondary CPUs and the boot path can 162 be optimised. The ``plat_is_my_cpu_primary()`` and 163 ``plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup()`` platform porting interfaces do not need 164 to be implemented in this case. 165 166- ``COT``: When Trusted Boot is enabled, selects the desired chain of trust. 167 Defaults to ``tbbr``. 168 169- ``CRASH_REPORTING``: A non-zero value enables a console dump of processor 170 register state when an unexpected exception occurs during execution of 171 BL31. This option defaults to the value of ``DEBUG`` - i.e. by default 172 this is only enabled for a debug build of the firmware. 173 174- ``CREATE_KEYS``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It tells the 175 certificate generation tool to create new keys in case no valid keys are 176 present or specified. Allowed options are '0' or '1'. Default is '1'. 177 178- ``CTX_INCLUDE_AARCH32_REGS`` : Boolean option that, when set to 1, will cause 179 the AArch32 system registers to be included when saving and restoring the 180 CPU context. The option must be set to 0 for AArch64-only platforms (that 181 is on hardware that does not implement AArch32, or at least not at EL1 and 182 higher ELs). Default value is 1. 183 184- ``CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS``: Boolean option that, when set to 1, will cause the FP 185 registers to be included when saving and restoring the CPU context. Default 186 is 0. 187 188- ``CTX_INCLUDE_MPAM_REGS``: Boolean option that, when set to 1, will cause the 189 Memory System Resource Partitioning and Monitoring (MPAM) 190 registers to be included when saving and restoring the CPU context. 191 Default is '0'. 192 193- ``CTX_INCLUDE_NEVE_REGS``: Numeric value, when set will cause the Armv8.4-NV 194 registers to be saved/restored when entering/exiting an EL2 execution 195 context. This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with the 196 ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. Default value is 0. 197 198- ``CTX_INCLUDE_PAUTH_REGS``: Numeric value to enable the Pointer 199 Authentication for Secure world. This will cause the ARMv8.3-PAuth registers 200 to be included when saving and restoring the CPU context as part of world 201 switch. This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with ``ENABLE_FEAT`` 202 mechanism. Default value is 0. 203 204 Note that Pointer Authentication is enabled for Non-secure world irrespective 205 of the value of this flag if the CPU supports it. 206 207- ``CTX_INCLUDE_SVE_REGS``: Boolean option that, when set to 1, will cause the 208 SVE registers to be included when saving and restoring the CPU context. Note 209 that this build option requires ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_SWD`` to be enabled. In 210 general, it is recommended to perform SVE context management in lower ELs 211 and skip in EL3 due to the additional cost of maintaining large data 212 structures to track the SVE state. Hence, the default value is 0. 213 214- ``DEBUG``: Chooses between a debug and release build. It can take either 0 215 (release) or 1 (debug) as values. 0 is the default. 216 217- ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT``: This build flag enables the user to select the 218 authenticated decryption algorithm to be used to decrypt firmware/s during 219 boot. It accepts 2 values: ``aes_gcm`` and ``none``. The default value of 220 this flag is ``none`` to disable firmware decryption which is an optional 221 feature as per TBBR. 222 223- ``DISABLE_BIN_GENERATION``: Boolean option to disable the generation 224 of the binary image. If set to 1, then only the ELF image is built. 225 0 is the default. 226 227- ``DISABLE_MTPMU``: Numeric option to disable ``FEAT_MTPMU`` (Multi Threaded 228 PMU). ``FEAT_MTPMU`` is an optional feature available on Armv8.6 onwards. 229 This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` 230 mechanism. Default is ``0``. 231 232- ``DYN_DISABLE_AUTH``: Provides the capability to dynamically disable Trusted 233 Board Boot authentication at runtime. This option is meant to be enabled only 234 for development platforms. ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` flag must be set if this 235 flag has to be enabled. 0 is the default. 236 237- ``E``: Boolean option to make warnings into errors. Default is 1. 238 239 When specifying higher warnings levels (``W=1`` and higher), this option 240 defaults to 0. This is done to encourage contributors to use them, as they 241 are expected to produce warnings that would otherwise fail the build. New 242 contributions are still expected to build with ``W=0`` and ``E=1`` (the 243 default). 244 245- ``EARLY_CONSOLE``: This option is used to enable early traces before default 246 console is properly setup. It introduces EARLY_* traces macros, that will 247 use the non-EARLY traces macros if the flag is enabled, or do nothing 248 otherwise. To use this feature, platforms will have to create the function 249 plat_setup_early_console(). 250 Default is 0 (disabled) 251 252- ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE``: This option enables booting an EL3 payload instead of 253 the normal boot flow. It must specify the entry point address of the EL3 254 payload. Please refer to the "Booting an EL3 payload" section for more 255 details. 256 257- ``ENABLE_AMU_AUXILIARY_COUNTERS``: Enables support for AMU auxiliary counters 258 (also known as group 1 counters). These are implementation-defined counters, 259 and as such require additional platform configuration. Default is 0. 260 261- ``ENABLE_AMU_FCONF``: Enables configuration of the AMU through FCONF, which 262 allows platforms with auxiliary counters to describe them via the 263 ``HW_CONFIG`` device tree blob. Default is 0. 264 265- ``ENABLE_ASSERTIONS``: This option controls whether or not calls to ``assert()`` 266 are compiled out. For debug builds, this option defaults to 1, and calls to 267 ``assert()`` are left in place. For release builds, this option defaults to 0 268 and calls to ``assert()`` function are compiled out. This option can be set 269 independently of ``DEBUG``. It can also be used to hide any auxiliary code 270 that is only required for the assertion and does not fit in the assertion 271 itself. 272 273- ``ENABLE_BACKTRACE``: This option controls whether to enable backtrace 274 dumps or not. It is supported in both AArch64 and AArch32. However, in 275 AArch32 the format of the frame records are not defined in the AAPCS and they 276 are defined by the implementation. This implementation of backtrace only 277 supports the format used by GCC when T32 interworking is disabled. For this 278 reason enabling this option in AArch32 will force the compiler to only 279 generate A32 code. This option is enabled by default only in AArch64 debug 280 builds, but this behaviour can be overridden in each platform's Makefile or 281 in the build command line. 282 283- ``ENABLE_FEAT`` 284 The Arm architecture defines several architecture extension features, 285 named FEAT_xxx in the architecure manual. Some of those features require 286 setup code in higher exception levels, other features might be used by TF-A 287 code itself. 288 Most of the feature flags defined in the TF-A build system permit to take 289 the values 0, 1 or 2, with the following meaning: 290 291 :: 292 293 ENABLE_FEAT_* = 0: Feature is disabled statically at compile time. 294 ENABLE_FEAT_* = 1: Feature is enabled unconditionally at compile time. 295 ENABLE_FEAT_* = 2: Feature is enabled, but checked at runtime. 296 297 When setting the flag to 0, the feature is disabled during compilation, 298 and the compiler's optimisation stage and the linker will try to remove 299 as much of this code as possible. 300 If it is defined to 1, the code will use the feature unconditionally, so the 301 CPU is expected to support that feature. The FEATURE_DETECTION debug 302 feature, if enabled, will verify this. 303 If the feature flag is set to 2, support for the feature will be compiled 304 in, but its existence will be checked at runtime, so it works on CPUs with 305 or without the feature. This is mostly useful for platforms which either 306 support multiple different CPUs, or where the CPU is configured at runtime, 307 like in emulators. 308 309- ``ENABLE_FEAT_AMU``: Numeric value to enable Activity Monitor Unit 310 extensions. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the 311 ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. This is an optional architectural feature 312 available on v8.4 onwards. Some v8.2 implementations also implement an AMU 313 and this option can be used to enable this feature on those systems as well. 314 This flag can take the values 0 to 2, the default is 0. 315 316- ``ENABLE_FEAT_AMUv1p1``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_AMUv1p1`` 317 extension. ``FEAT_AMUv1p1`` is an optional feature available on Arm v8.6 318 onwards. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the 319 ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism.

It allows access to the SCXTNUM_EL2 (Software Context Number) 323 register during EL2 context save/restore operations. ``FEAT_CSV2_2`` is an 324 optional feature available on Arm v8.0 onwards. This flag can take values 325 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. 326 Default value is ``0``. 327 328- ``ENABLE_FEAT_CSV2_3``: Numeric value to enable support for ``FEAT_CSV2_3`` 329 extension. This feature is supported in AArch64 state only and is an optional 330 feature available in Arm v8.0 implementations. 331 ``FEAT_CSV2_3`` implies the implementation of ``FEAT_CSV2_2``. 332 The flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` 333 mechanism. Default value is ``0``. 334 335- ``ENABLE_FEAT_DEBUGV8P9``: Numeric value to enable ``FEAT_DEBUGV8P9`` 336 extension which allows the ability to implement more than 16 breakpoints 337 and/or watchpoints.

Default value is ``0``. 473 474- ``ENABLE_FEAT_D128``: Numeric value to enable support for FEAT_D128 475 at EL2 and below, setting the bit SCT_EL3.D128En in EL3 to allow access to 476 128 bit version of system registers like PAR_EL1, TTBR0_EL1, TTBR1_EL1, 477 TTBR0_EL2, TTBR1_EL2, TTBR0_EL12, TTBR1_EL12 , VTTBR_EL2, RCWMASK_EL1, and 478 RCWSMASK_EL1. Its an optional architectural feature and is available from 479 9.3 and upwards. 480 This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` 481 mechanism. Default value is ``0``. 482 483- ``ENABLE_LTO``: Boolean option to enable Link Time Optimization (LTO) 484 support in GCC for TF-A. This option is currently only supported for 485 AArch64. Default is 0. 486 487- ``ENABLE_FEAT_MPAM``: Numeric value to enable lower ELs to use MPAM 488 feature. MPAM is an optional Armv8.4 extension that enables various memory 489 system components and resources to define partitions; software running at 490 various ELs can assign themselves to desired partition to control their 491 performance aspects. 492 493 This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` 494 mechanism. When this option is set to ``1`` or ``2``, EL3 allows lower ELs to 495 access their own MPAM registers without trapping into EL3. This option 496 doesn't make use of partitioning in EL3, however. Platform initialisation 497 code should configure and use partitions in EL3 as required. This option 498 defaults to ``2`` since MPAM is enabled by default for NS world only. 499 The flag is automatically disabled when the target 500 architecture is AArch32. 501 502- ``ENABLE_FEAT_LS64_ACCDATA``: Numeric value to enable access and save and 503 restore the ACCDATA_EL1 system register, at EL2 and below. This flag can 504 take the values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. 505 Default value is ``0``. 506 507- ``ENABLE_MPMM``: Boolean option to enable support for the Maximum Power 508 Mitigation Mechanism supported by certain Arm cores, which allows the SoC 509 firmware to detect and limit high activity events to assist in SoC processor 510 power domain dynamic power budgeting and limit the triggering of whole-rail 511 (i.e. clock chopping) responses to overcurrent conditions. Defaults to ``0``. 512 513- ``ENABLE_MPMM_FCONF``: Enables configuration of MPMM through FCONF, which 514 allows platforms with cores supporting MPMM to describe them via the 515 ``HW_CONFIG`` device tree blob. Default is 0. 516 517- ``ENABLE_PIE``: Boolean option to enable Position Independent Executable(PIE) 518 support within generic code in TF-A. This option is currently only supported 519 in BL2, BL31, and BL32 (TSP) for AARCH64 binaries, and 520 in BL32 (SP_min) for AARCH32. Default is 0. 521 522- ``ENABLE_PMF``: Boolean option to enable support for optional Performance 523 Measurement Framework(PMF). Default is 0. 524 525- ``ENABLE_PSCI_STAT``: Boolean option to enable support for optional PSCI 526 functions ``PSCI_STAT_RESIDENCY`` and ``PSCI_STAT_COUNT``. Default is 0. 527 In the absence of an alternate stat collection backend, ``ENABLE_PMF`` must 528 be enabled. If ``ENABLE_PMF`` is set, the residency statistics are tracked in 529 software. 530 531- ``ENABLE_RUNTIME_INSTRUMENTATION``: Boolean option to enable runtime 532 instrumentation which injects timestamp collection points into TF-A to 533 allow runtime performance to be measured. Currently, only PSCI is 534 instrumented. Enabling this option enables the ``ENABLE_PMF`` build option 535 as well. Default is 0. 536 537- ``ENABLE_SPE_FOR_NS`` : Numeric value to enable Statistical Profiling 538 extensions. This is an optional architectural feature for AArch64. 539 This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` 540 mechanism. The default is 2 but is automatically disabled when the target 541 architecture is AArch32. 542 543- ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable Scalable Vector Extension 544 (SVE) for the Non-secure world only. SVE is an optional architectural feature 545 for AArch64. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the 546 ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. At this time, this build option cannot be used on 547 systems that have SPM_MM enabled. The default value is 2. 548 549 Note that when SVE is enabled for the Non-secure world, access 550 to SVE, SIMD and floating-point functionality from the Secure world is 551 independently controlled by build option ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_SWD``. When enabling 552 ``CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS`` and ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS`` together, it is mandatory to 553 enable ``CTX_INCLUDE_SVE_REGS``. This is to avoid corruption of the Non-secure 554 world data in the Z-registers which are aliased by the SIMD and FP registers. 555 556- ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_SWD``: Boolean option to enable SVE and FPU/SIMD functionality 557 for the Secure world. SVE is an optional architectural feature for AArch64. 558 The default is 0 and it is automatically disabled when the target architecture 559 is AArch32. 560 561 .. note:: 562 This build flag requires ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS`` to be enabled. When enabling 563 ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_SWD``, a developer must carefully consider whether 564 ``CTX_INCLUDE_SVE_REGS`` is also needed. 565 566- ``ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR``: String option to enable the stack protection 567 checks in GCC. Allowed values are "all", "strong", "default" and "none". The 568 default value is set to "none". "strong" is the recommended stack protection 569 level if this feature is desired. "none" disables the stack protection. For 570 all values other than "none", the ``plat_get_stack_protector_canary()`` 571 platform hook needs to be implemented. The value is passed as the last 572 component of the option ``-fstack-protector-$ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR``. 573 574- ``ENCRYPT_BL31``: Binary flag to enable encryption of BL31 firmware. This 575 flag depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag. 576 577- ``ENCRYPT_BL32``: Binary flag to enable encryption of Secure BL32 payload. 578 This flag depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag. 579 580- ``ENC_KEY``: A 32-byte (256-bit) symmetric key in hex string format. It could 581 either be SSK or BSSK depending on ``FW_ENC_STATUS`` flag. This value depends 582 on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag. 583 584- ``ENC_NONCE``: A 12-byte (96-bit) encryption nonce or Initialization Vector 585 (IV) in hex string format. This value depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` 586 build flag. 587 588- ``ERROR_DEPRECATED``: This option decides whether to treat the usage of 589 deprecated platform APIs, helper functions or drivers within Trusted 590 Firmware as error. It can take the value 1 (flag the use of deprecated 591 APIs as error) or 0. The default is 0. 592 593- ``ETHOSN_NPU_DRIVER``: boolean option to enable a SiP service that can 594 configure an Arm® Ethos™-N NPU. To use this service the target platform's 595 ``HW_CONFIG`` must include the device tree nodes for the NPU. Currently, only 596 the Arm Juno platform has this included in its ``HW_CONFIG`` and the platform 597 only loads the ``HW_CONFIG`` in AArch64 builds. Default is 0. 598 599- ``ETHOSN_NPU_TZMP1``: boolean option to enable TZMP1 support for the 600 Arm® Ethos™-N NPU. Requires ``ETHOSN_NPU_DRIVER`` and 601 ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` to be enabled. 602 603- ``ETHOSN_NPU_FW``: location of the NPU firmware binary 604 (```ethosn.bin```). This firmware image will be included in the FIP and 605 loaded at runtime. 606 607- ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING``: When set to ``1``, enable handling of exceptions 608 targeted at EL3. When set ``0`` (default), no exceptions are expected or 609 handled at EL3, and a panic will result. The exception to this rule is when 610 ``SPMD_SPM_AT_SEL2`` is set to ``1``, in which case, only exceptions 611 occuring during normal world execution, are trapped to EL3. Any exception 612 trapped during secure world execution are trapped to the SPMC. This is 613 supported only for AArch64 builds. 614 615- ``EVENT_LOG_LEVEL``: Chooses the log level to use for Measured Boot when 616 ``MEASURED_BOOT`` is enabled. For a list of valid values, see ``LOG_LEVEL``. 617 Default value is 40 (LOG_LEVEL_INFO). 618 619- ``FAULT_INJECTION_SUPPORT``: ARMv8.4 extensions introduced support for fault 620 injection from lower ELs, and this build option enables lower ELs to use 621 Error Records accessed via System Registers to inject faults. This is 622 applicable only to AArch64 builds. 623 624 This feature is intended for testing purposes only, and is advisable to keep 625 disabled for production images. 626 627- ``FIP_NAME``: This is an optional build option which specifies the FIP 628 filename for the ``fip`` target. Default is ``fip.bin``. 629 630- ``FWU_FIP_NAME``: This is an optional build option which specifies the FWU 631 FIP filename for the ``fwu_fip`` target. Default is ``fwu_fip.bin``. 632 633- ``FW_ENC_STATUS``: Top level firmware's encryption numeric flag, values: 634 635 :: 636 637 0: Encryption is done with Secret Symmetric Key (SSK) which is common 638 for a class of devices. 639 1: Encryption is done with Binding Secret Symmetric Key (BSSK) which is 640 unique per device. 641 642 This flag depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag. 643 644- ``GENERATE_COT``: Boolean flag used to build and execute the ``cert_create`` 645 tool to create certificates as per the Chain of Trust described in 646 :ref:`Trusted Board Boot`. The build system then calls ``fiptool`` to 647 include the certificates in the FIP and FWU_FIP. Default value is '0'. 648 649 Specify both ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1`` and ``GENERATE_COT=1`` to include support 650 for the Trusted Board Boot feature in the BL1 and BL2 images, to generate 651 the corresponding certificates, and to include those certificates in the 652 FIP and FWU_FIP. 653 654 Note that if ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=0`` and ``GENERATE_COT=1``, the BL1 and BL2 655 images will not include support for Trusted Board Boot. The FIP will still 656 include the corresponding certificates. This FIP can be used to verify the 657 Chain of Trust on the host machine through other mechanisms. 658 659 Note that if ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1`` and ``GENERATE_COT=0``, the BL1 and BL2 660 images will include support for Trusted Board Boot, but the FIP and FWU_FIP 661 will not include the corresponding certificates, causing a boot failure. 662 663- ``GICV2_G0_FOR_EL3``: Unlike GICv3, the GICv2 architecture doesn't have 664 inherent support for specific EL3 type interrupts. Setting this build option 665 to ``1`` assumes GICv2 *Group 0* interrupts are expected to target EL3, both 666 by :ref:`platform abstraction layer<platform Interrupt Controller API>` and 667 :ref:`Interrupt Management Framework<Interrupt Management Framework>`. 668 This allows GICv2 platforms to enable features requiring EL3 interrupt type. 669 This also means that all GICv2 Group 0 interrupts are delivered to EL3, and 670 the Secure Payload interrupts needs to be synchronously handed over to Secure 671 EL1 for handling. The default value of this option is ``0``, which means the 672 Group 0 interrupts are assumed to be handled by Secure EL1. 673 674- ``HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST_NS``: When set to ``1``, External Aborts and SError 675 Interrupts, resulting from errors in NS world, will be always trapped in 676 EL3 i.e. in BL31 at runtime. When set to ``0`` (default), these exceptions 677 will be trapped in the current exception level (or in EL1 if the current 678 exception level is EL0). 679 680- ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY``: On most Arm systems to-date, platform-specific 681 software operations are required for CPUs to enter and exit coherency. 682 However, newer systems exist where CPUs' entry to and exit from coherency 683 is managed in hardware. Such systems require software to only initiate these 684 operations, and the rest is managed in hardware, minimizing active software 685 management. In such systems, this boolean option enables TF-A to carry out 686 build and run-time optimizations during boot and power management operations. 687 This option defaults to 0 and if it is enabled, then it implies 688 ``WARMBOOT_ENABLE_DCACHE_EARLY`` is also enabled. 689 690 If this flag is disabled while the platform which TF-A is compiled for 691 includes cores that manage coherency in hardware, then a compilation error is 692 generated. This is based on the fact that a system cannot have, at the same 693 time, cores that manage coherency in hardware and cores that don't. In other 694 words, a platform cannot have, at the same time, cores that require 695 ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY=1`` and cores that require 696 ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY=0``. 697 698 Note that, when ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY`` is enabled, version 2 of 699 translation library (xlat tables v2) must be used; version 1 of translation 700 library is not supported. 701 702- ``IMPDEF_SYSREG_TRAP``: Numeric value to enable the handling traps for 703 implementation defined system register accesses from lower ELs. Default 704 value is ``0``. 705 706- ``INVERTED_MEMMAP``: memmap tool print by default lower addresses at the 707 bottom, higher addresses at the top. This build flag can be set to '1' to 708 invert this behavior. Lower addresses will be printed at the top and higher 709 addresses at the bottom. 710 711- ``INIT_UNUSED_NS_EL2``: This build flag guards code that disables EL2 712 safely in scenario where NS-EL2 is present but unused. This flag is set to 0 713 by default. Platforms without NS-EL2 in use must enable this flag. 714 715- ``KEY_ALG``: This build flag enables the user to select the algorithm to be 716 used for generating the PKCS keys and subsequent signing of the certificate. 717 It accepts 5 values: ``rsa``, ``rsa_1_5``, ``ecdsa``, ``ecdsa-brainpool-regular`` 718 and ``ecdsa-brainpool-twisted``. The option ``rsa_1_5`` is the legacy PKCS#1 719 RSA 1.5 algorithm which is not TBBR compliant and is retained only for 720 compatibility. The default value of this flag is ``rsa`` which is the TBBR 721 compliant PKCS#1 RSA 2.1 scheme. 722 723- ``KEY_SIZE``: This build flag enables the user to select the key size for 724 the algorithm specified by ``KEY_ALG``. The valid values for ``KEY_SIZE`` 725 depend on the chosen algorithm and the cryptographic module. 726 727 +---------------------------+------------------------------------+ 728 | KEY_ALG | Possible key sizes | 729 +===========================+====================================+ 730 | rsa | 1024 , 2048 (default), 3072, 4096 | 731 +---------------------------+------------------------------------+ 732 | ecdsa | 256 (default), 384 | 733 +---------------------------+------------------------------------+ 734 | ecdsa-brainpool-regular | unavailable | 735 +---------------------------+------------------------------------+ 736 | ecdsa-brainpool-twisted | unavailable | 737 +---------------------------+------------------------------------+ 738 739- ``HASH_ALG``: This build flag enables the user to select the secure hash 740 algorithm. It accepts 3 values: ``sha256``, ``sha384`` and ``sha512``. 741 The default value of this flag is ``sha256``. 742 743- ``LDFLAGS``: Extra user options appended to the linkers' command line in 744 addition to the one set by the build system. 745 746- ``LOG_LEVEL``: Chooses the log level, which controls the amount of console log 747 output compiled into the build. This should be one of the following: 748 749 :: 750 751 0 (LOG_LEVEL_NONE) 752 10 (LOG_LEVEL_ERROR) 753 20 (LOG_LEVEL_NOTICE) 754 30 (LOG_LEVEL_WARNING) 755 40 (LOG_LEVEL_INFO) 756 50 (LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE) 757 758 All log output up to and including the selected log level is compiled into 759 the build. The default value is 40 in debug builds and 20 in release builds. 760 761- ``MEASURED_BOOT``: Boolean flag to include support for the Measured Boot 762 feature. This flag can be enabled with ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` in order to 763 provide trust that the code taking the measurements and recording them has 764 not been tampered with. 765 766 This option defaults to 0. 767 768- ``MARCH_DIRECTIVE``: used to pass a -march option from the platform build 769 options to the compiler. An example usage: 770 771 .. code:: make 772 773 MARCH_DIRECTIVE := -march=armv8.5-a 774 775- ``HARDEN_SLS``: used to pass -mharden-sls=all from the TF-A build 776 options to the compiler currently supporting only of the options. 777 GCC documentation: 778 https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/AArch64-Options.html#index-mharden-sls 779 780 An example usage: 781 782 .. code:: make 783 784 HARDEN_SLS := 1 785 786 This option defaults to 0. 787 788- ``NON_TRUSTED_WORLD_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It 789 specifies a file that contains the Non-Trusted World private key in PEM 790 format or a PKCS11 URI. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, only a file is accepted and it 791 will be used to save the key. 792 793- ``NS_BL2U``: Path to NS_BL2U image in the host file system. This image is 794 optional. It is only needed if the platform makefile specifies that it 795 is required in order to build the ``fwu_fip`` target. 796 797- ``NS_TIMER_SWITCH``: Enable save and restore for non-secure timer register 798 contents upon world switch. It can take either 0 (don't save and restore) or 799 1 (do save and restore). 0 is the default. An SPD may set this to 1 if it 800 wants the timer registers to be saved and restored. 801 802- ``OVERRIDE_LIBC``: This option allows platforms to override the default libc 803 for the BL image. It can be either 0 (include) or 1 (remove). The default 804 value is 0. 805 806- ``PL011_GENERIC_UART``: Boolean option to indicate the PL011 driver that 807 the underlying hardware is not a full PL011 UART but a minimally compliant 808 generic UART, which is a subset of the PL011. The driver will not access 809 any register that is not part of the SBSA generic UART specification. 810 Default value is 0 (a full PL011 compliant UART is present). 811 812- ``PLAT``: Choose a platform to build TF-A for. The chosen platform name 813 must be subdirectory of any depth under ``plat/``, and must contain a 814 platform makefile named ``platform.mk``. For example, to build TF-A for the 815 Arm Juno board, select PLAT=juno. 816 817- ``PLATFORM_REPORT_CTX_MEM_USE``: Reports the context memory allocated for 818 each core as well as the global context. The data includes the memory used 819 by each world and each privileged exception level. This build option is 820 applicable only for ``ARCH=aarch64`` builds. The default value is 0. 821 822- ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE``: This option enables booting a preloaded BL33 image 823 instead of the normal boot flow. When defined, it must specify the entry 824 point address for the preloaded BL33 image. This option is incompatible with 825 ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE``. If both are defined, ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE`` has priority 826 over ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE``. 827 828- ``PRESERVE_DSU_PMU_REGS``: This options when enabled allows the platform to 829 save/restore the DynamIQ Shared Unit's(DSU) Performance Monitoring Unit(PMU) 830 registers when the cluster goes through a power cycle. This is disabled by 831 default and platforms that require this feature have to enable them. 832 833- ``PROGRAMMABLE_RESET_ADDRESS``: This option indicates whether the reset 834 vector address can be programmed or is fixed on the platform. It can take 835 either 0 (fixed) or 1 (programmable). Default is 0. If the platform has a 836 programmable reset address, it is expected that a CPU will start executing 837 code directly at the right address, both on a cold and warm reset. In this 838 case, there is no need to identify the entrypoint on boot and the boot path 839 can be optimised. The ``plat_get_my_entrypoint()`` platform porting interface 840 does not need to be implemented in this case. 841 842- ``PSCI_EXTENDED_STATE_ID``: As per PSCI1.0 Specification, there are 2 formats 843 possible for the PSCI power-state parameter: original and extended State-ID 844 formats. This flag if set to 1, configures the generic PSCI layer to use the 845 extended format. The default value of this flag is 0, which means by default 846 the original power-state format is used by the PSCI implementation. This flag 847 should be specified by the platform makefile and it governs the return value 848 of PSCI_FEATURES API for CPU_SUSPEND smc function id. When this option is 849 enabled on Arm platforms, the option ``ARM_RECOM_STATE_ID_ENC`` needs to be 850 set to 1 as well. 851 852- ``PSCI_OS_INIT_MODE``: Boolean flag to enable support for optional PSCI 853 OS-initiated mode. This option defaults to 0. 854 855- ``ENABLE_FEAT_RAS``: Boolean flag to enable Armv8.2 RAS features. RAS features 856 are an optional extension for pre-Armv8.2 CPUs, but are mandatory for Armv8.2 857 or later CPUs. This flag can take the values 0 or 1. The default value is 0. 858 NOTE: This flag enables use of IESB capability to reduce entry latency into 859 EL3 even when RAS error handling is not performed on the platform. Hence this 860 flag is recommended to be turned on Armv8.2 and later CPUs. 861 862- ``RESET_TO_BL31``: Enable BL31 entrypoint as the CPU reset vector instead 863 of the BL1 entrypoint. It can take the value 0 (CPU reset to BL1 864 entrypoint) or 1 (CPU reset to BL31 entrypoint). 865 The default value is 0. 866 867- ``RESET_TO_SP_MIN``: SP_MIN is the minimal AArch32 Secure Payload provided 868 in TF-A. This flag configures SP_MIN entrypoint as the CPU reset vector 869 instead of the BL1 entrypoint. It can take the value 0 (CPU reset to BL1 870 entrypoint) or 1 (CPU reset to SP_MIN entrypoint). The default value is 0. 871 872- ``RME_GPT_BITLOCK_BLOCK``: This defines the block size (in number of 512MB 873- blocks) covered by a single bit of the bitlock structure during RME GPT 874- operations. The lower the block size, the better opportunity for 875- parallelising GPT operations but at the cost of more bits being needed 876- for the bitlock structure. This numeric parameter can take the values 877- from 0 to 512 and must be a power of 2. The value of 0 is special and 878- and it chooses a single spinlock for all GPT L1 table entries. Default 879- value is 1 which corresponds to block size of 512MB per bit of bitlock 880- structure. 881 882- ``RME_GPT_MAX_BLOCK``: Numeric value in MB to define the maximum size of 883 supported contiguous blocks in GPT Library. This parameter can take the 884 values 0, 2, 32 and 512. Setting this value to 0 disables use of Contigious 885 descriptors. Default value is 512. 886 887- ``ROT_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies a 888 file that contains the ROT private key in PEM format or a PKCS11 URI and 889 enforces public key hash generation. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, only a file is 890 accepted and it will be used to save the key. 891 892- ``SAVE_KEYS``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It tells the 893 certificate generation tool to save the keys used to establish the Chain of 894 Trust. Allowed options are '0' or '1'. Default is '0' (do not save). 895 896- ``SCP_BL2``: Path to SCP_BL2 image in the host file system. This image is optional. 897 If a SCP_BL2 image is present then this option must be passed for the ``fip`` 898 target. 899 900- ``SCP_BL2_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies a 901 file that contains the SCP_BL2 private key in PEM format or a PKCS11 URI. 902 If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, only a file is accepted and it will be used to save the key. 903 904- ``SCP_BL2U``: Path to SCP_BL2U image in the host file system. This image is 905 optional. It is only needed if the platform makefile specifies that it 906 is required in order to build the ``fwu_fip`` target. 907 908- ``SDEI_SUPPORT``: Setting this to ``1`` enables support for Software 909 Delegated Exception Interface to BL31 image. This defaults to ``0``. 910 911 When set to ``1``, the build option ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING`` must also be 912 set to ``1``. 913 914- ``SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA``: Whether code and read-only data should be 915 isolated on separate memory pages. This is a trade-off between security and 916 memory usage. See "Isolating code and read-only data on separate memory 917 pages" section in :ref:`Firmware Design`. This flag is disabled by default 918 and affects all BL images. 919 920- ``SEPARATE_NOBITS_REGION``: Setting this option to ``1`` allows the NOBITS 921 sections of BL31 (.bss, stacks, page tables, and coherent memory) to be 922 allocated in RAM discontiguous from the loaded firmware image. When set, the 923 platform is expected to provide definitions for ``BL31_NOBITS_BASE`` and 924 ``BL31_NOBITS_LIMIT``. When the option is ``0`` (the default), NOBITS 925 sections are placed in RAM immediately following the loaded firmware image. 926 927- ``SEPARATE_BL2_NOLOAD_REGION``: Setting this option to ``1`` allows the 928 NOLOAD sections of BL2 (.bss, stacks, page tables) to be allocated in RAM 929 discontiguous from loaded firmware images. When set, the platform need to 930 provide definitions of ``BL2_NOLOAD_START`` and ``BL2_NOLOAD_LIMIT``. This 931 flag is disabled by default and NOLOAD sections are placed in RAM immediately 932 following the loaded firmware image. 933 934- ``SEPARATE_SIMD_SECTION``: Setting this option to ``1`` allows the SIMD context 935 data structures to be put in a dedicated memory region as decided by platform 936 integrator. Default value is ``0`` which means the SIMD context is put in BSS 937 section of EL3 firmware. 938 939- ``SMC_PCI_SUPPORT``: This option allows platforms to handle PCI configuration 940 access requests via a standard SMCCC defined in `DEN0115`_. When combined with 941 UEFI+ACPI this can provide a certain amount of OS forward compatibility 942 with newer platforms that aren't ECAM compliant. 943 944- ``SPD``: Choose a Secure Payload Dispatcher component to be built into TF-A. 945 This build option is only valid if ``ARCH=aarch64``. The value should be 946 the path to the directory containing the SPD source, relative to 947 ``services/spd/``; the directory is expected to contain a makefile called 948 ``<spd-value>.mk``. The SPM Dispatcher standard service is located in 949 services/std_svc/spmd and enabled by ``SPD=spmd``. The SPM Dispatcher 950 cannot be enabled when the ``SPM_MM`` option is enabled. 951 952- ``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT``: This option introduces an infinite loop in BL1. It can 953 take either 0 (no loop) or 1 (add a loop). 0 is the default. This loop stops 954 execution in BL1 just before handing over to BL31. At this point, all 955 firmware images have been loaded in memory, and the MMU and caches are 956 turned off. Refer to the "Debugging options" section for more details. 957 958- ``SPMC_AT_EL3`` : This boolean option is used jointly with the SPM 959 Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``). When enabled (1) it indicates the SPMC 960 component runs at the EL3 exception level. The default value is ``0`` ( 961 disabled). This configuration supports pre-Armv8.4 platforms (aka not 962 implementing the ``FEAT_SEL2`` extension). 963 964- ``SPMC_AT_EL3_SEL0_SP`` : Boolean option to enable SEL0 SP load support when 965 ``SPMC_AT_EL3`` is enabled. The default value if ``0`` (disabled). This 966 option cannot be enabled (``1``) when (``SPMC_AT_EL3``) is disabled. 967 968- ``SPMC_OPTEE`` : This boolean option is used jointly with the SPM 969 Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``) and with ``SPMD_SPM_AT_SEL2=0`` to 970 indicate that the SPMC at S-EL1 is OP-TEE and an OP-TEE specific loading 971 mechanism should be used. 972 973- ``SPMD_SPM_AT_SEL2`` : This boolean option is used jointly with the SPM 974 Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``). When enabled (1) it indicates the SPMC 975 component runs at the S-EL2 exception level provided by the ``FEAT_SEL2`` 976 extension. This is the default when enabling the SPM Dispatcher. When 977 disabled (0) it indicates the SPMC component runs at the S-EL1 execution 978 state or at EL3 if ``SPMC_AT_EL3`` is enabled. The latter configurations 979 support pre-Armv8.4 platforms (aka not implementing the ``FEAT_SEL2`` 980 extension). 981 982- ``SPM_MM`` : Boolean option to enable the Management Mode (MM)-based Secure 983 Partition Manager (SPM) implementation. The default value is ``0`` 984 (disabled). This option cannot be enabled (``1``) when SPM Dispatcher is 985 enabled (``SPD=spmd``). 986 987- ``SP_LAYOUT_FILE``: Platform provided path to JSON file containing the 988 description of secure partitions. The build system will parse this file and 989 package all secure partition blobs into the FIP. This file is not 990 necessarily part of TF-A tree. Only available when ``SPD=spmd``. 991 992- ``SP_MIN_WITH_SECURE_FIQ``: Boolean flag to indicate the SP_MIN handles 993 secure interrupts (caught through the FIQ line). Platforms can enable 994 this directive if they need to handle such interruption. When enabled, 995 the FIQ are handled in monitor mode and non secure world is not allowed 996 to mask these events. Platforms that enable FIQ handling in SP_MIN shall 997 implement the api ``sp_min_plat_fiq_handler()``. The default value is 0. 998 999- ``SVE_VECTOR_LEN``: SVE vector length to configure in ZCR_EL3. 1000 Platforms can configure this if they need to lower the hardware 1001 limit, for example due to asymmetric configuration or limitations of 1002 software run at lower ELs. The default is the architectural maximum 1003 of 2048 which should be suitable for most configurations, the 1004 hardware will limit the effective VL to the maximum physically supported 1005 VL. 1006 1007- ``TRNG_SUPPORT``: Setting this to ``1`` enables support for True 1008 Random Number Generator Interface to BL31 image. This defaults to ``0``. 1009 1010- ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT``: Boolean flag to include support for the Trusted Board 1011 Boot feature. When set to '1', BL1 and BL2 images include support to load 1012 and verify the certificates and images in a FIP, and BL1 includes support 1013 for the Firmware Update. The default value is '0'. Generation and inclusion 1014 of certificates in the FIP and FWU_FIP depends upon the value of the 1015 ``GENERATE_COT`` option. 1016 1017 .. warning:: 1018 This option depends on ``CREATE_KEYS`` to be enabled. If the keys 1019 already exist in disk, they will be overwritten without further notice. 1020 1021- ``TRUSTED_WORLD_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It 1022 specifies a file that contains the Trusted World private key in PEM 1023 format or a PKCS11 URI. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, only a file is accepted and 1024 it will be used to save the key. 1025 1026- ``TSP_INIT_ASYNC``: Choose BL32 initialization method as asynchronous or 1027 synchronous, (see "Initializing a BL32 Image" section in 1028 :ref:`Firmware Design`). It can take the value 0 (BL32 is initialized using 1029 synchronous method) or 1 (BL32 is initialized using asynchronous method). 1030 Default is 0. 1031 1032- ``TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT``: A non zero value enables the interrupt 1033 routing model which routes non-secure interrupts asynchronously from TSP 1034 to EL3 causing immediate preemption of TSP. The EL3 is responsible 1035 for saving and restoring the TSP context in this routing model. The 1036 default routing model (when the value is 0) is to route non-secure 1037 interrupts to TSP allowing it to save its context and hand over 1038 synchronously to EL3 via an SMC. 1039 1040 .. note:: 1041 When ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING`` is ``1``, ``TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT`` 1042 must also be set to ``1``. 1043 1044- ``TS_SP_FW_CONFIG``: DTC build flag to include Trusted Services (Crypto and 1045 internal-trusted-storage) as SP in tb_fw_config device tree. 1046 1047- ``TWED_DELAY``: Numeric value to be set in order to delay the trapping of 1048 WFE instruction. ``ENABLE_FEAT_TWED`` build option must be enabled to set 1049 this delay. It can take values in the range (0-15). Default value is ``0`` 1050 and based on this value, 2^(TWED_DELAY + 8) cycles will be delayed. 1051 Platforms need to explicitly update this value based on their requirements. 1052 1053- ``USE_ARM_LINK``: This flag determines whether to enable support for ARM 1054 linker. When the ``LINKER`` build variable points to the armlink linker, 1055 this flag is enabled automatically. To enable support for armlink, platforms 1056 will have to provide a scatter file for the BL image. Currently, Tegra 1057 platforms use the armlink support to compile BL3-1 images. 1058 1059- ``USE_COHERENT_MEM``: This flag determines whether to include the coherent 1060 memory region in the BL memory map or not (see "Use of Coherent memory in 1061 TF-A" section in :ref:`Firmware Design`). It can take the value 1 1062 (Coherent memory region is included) or 0 (Coherent memory region is 1063 excluded). Default is 1. 1064 1065- ``ARM_IO_IN_DTB``: This flag determines whether to use IO based on the 1066 firmware configuration framework. This will move the io_policies into a 1067 configuration device tree, instead of static structure in the code base. 1068 1069- ``COT_DESC_IN_DTB``: This flag determines whether to create COT descriptors 1070 at runtime using fconf. If this flag is enabled, COT descriptors are 1071 statically captured in tb_fw_config file in the form of device tree nodes 1072 and properties. Currently, COT descriptors used by BL2 are moved to the 1073 device tree and COT descriptors used by BL1 are retained in the code 1074 base statically. 1075 1076- ``SDEI_IN_FCONF``: This flag determines whether to configure SDEI setup in 1077 runtime using firmware configuration framework. The platform specific SDEI 1078 shared and private events configuration is retrieved from device tree rather 1079 than static C structures at compile time. This is only supported if 1080 SDEI_SUPPORT build flag is enabled. 1081 1082- ``SEC_INT_DESC_IN_FCONF``: This flag determines whether to configure Group 0 1083 and Group1 secure interrupts using the firmware configuration framework. The 1084 platform specific secure interrupt property descriptor is retrieved from 1085 device tree in runtime rather than depending on static C structure at compile 1086 time. 1087 1088- ``USE_ROMLIB``: This flag determines whether library at ROM will be used. 1089 This feature creates a library of functions to be placed in ROM and thus 1090 reduces SRAM usage. Refer to :ref:`Library at ROM` for further details. Default 1091 is 0. 1092 1093- ``V``: Verbose build. If assigned anything other than 0, the build commands 1094 are printed. Default is 0. 1095 1096- ``VERSION_STRING``: String used in the log output for each TF-A image. 1097 Defaults to a string formed by concatenating the version number, build type 1098 and build string. 1099 1100- ``W``: Warning level. Some compiler warning options of interest have been 1101 regrouped and put in the root Makefile. This flag can take the values 0 to 3, 1102 each level enabling more warning options. Default is 0. 1103 1104 This option is closely related to the ``E`` option, which enables 1105 ``-Werror``. 1106 1107 - ``W=0`` (default) 1108 1109 Enables a wide assortment of warnings, most notably ``-Wall`` and 1110 ``-Wextra``, as well as various bad practices and things that are likely to 1111 result in errors. Includes some compiler specific flags. No warnings are 1112 expected at this level for any build. 1113 1114 - ``W=1`` 1115 1116 Enables warnings we want the generic build to include but are too time 1117 consuming to fix at the moment. It re-enables warnings taken out for 1118 ``W=0`` builds (a few of the ``-Wextra`` additions). This level is expected 1119 to eventually be merged into ``W=0``. Some warnings are expected on some 1120 builds, but new contributions should not introduce new ones. 1121 1122 - ``W=2`` (recommended) 1123 1124 Enables warnings we want the generic build to include but cannot be enabled 1125 due to external libraries. This level is expected to eventually be merged 1126 into ``W=0``. Lots of warnings are expected, primarily from external 1127 libraries like zlib and compiler-rt, but new controbutions should not 1128 introduce new ones. 1129 1130 - ``W=3`` 1131 1132 Enables warnings that are informative but not necessary and generally too 1133 verbose and frequently ignored. A very large number of warnings are 1134 expected. 1135 1136 The exact set of warning flags depends on the compiler and TF-A warning 1137 level, however they are all succinctly set in the top-level Makefile. Please 1138 refer to the `GCC`_ or `Clang`_ documentation for more information on the 1139 individual flags. 1140 1141- ``WARMBOOT_ENABLE_DCACHE_EARLY`` : Boolean option to enable D-cache early on 1142 the CPU after warm boot. This is applicable for platforms which do not 1143 require interconnect programming to enable cache coherency (eg: single 1144 cluster platforms). If this option is enabled, then warm boot path 1145 enables D-caches immediately after enabling MMU. This option defaults to 0. 1146 1147- ``SUPPORT_STACK_MEMTAG``: This flag determines whether to enable memory 1148 tagging for stack or not. It accepts 2 values: ``yes`` and ``no``. The 1149 default value of this flag is ``no``. Note this option must be enabled only 1150 for ARM architecture greater than Armv8.5-A. 1151 1152- ``ERRATA_SPECULATIVE_AT``: This flag determines whether to enable ``AT`` 1153 speculative errata workaround or not. It accepts 2 values: ``1`` and ``0``. 1154 The default value of this flag is ``0``. 1155 1156 ``AT`` speculative errata workaround disables stage1 page table walk for 1157 lower ELs (EL1 and EL0) in EL3 so that ``AT`` speculative fetch at any point 1158 produces either the correct result or failure without TLB allocation. 1159 1160 This boolean option enables errata for all below CPUs. 1161 1162 +---------+--------------+-------------------------+ 1163 | Errata | CPU | Workaround Define | 1164 +=========+==============+=========================+ 1165 | 1165522 | Cortex-A76 | ``ERRATA_A76_1165522`` | 1166 +---------+--------------+-------------------------+ 1167 | 1319367 | Cortex-A72 | ``ERRATA_A72_1319367`` | 1168 +---------+--------------+-------------------------+ 1169 | 1319537 | Cortex-A57 | ``ERRATA_A57_1319537`` | 1170 +---------+--------------+-------------------------+ 1171 | 1530923 | Cortex-A55 | ``ERRATA_A55_1530923`` | 1172 +---------+--------------+-------------------------+ 1173 | 1530924 | Cortex-A53 | ``ERRATA_A53_1530924`` | 1174 +---------+--------------+-------------------------+ 1175 1176 .. note:: 1177 This option is enabled by build only if platform sets any of above defines 1178 mentioned in ’Workaround Define' column in the table. 1179 If this option is enabled for the EL3 software then EL2 software also must 1180 implement this workaround due to the behaviour of the errata mentioned 1181 in new SDEN document which will get published soon. 1182 1183- ``RAS_TRAP_NS_ERR_REC_ACCESS``: This flag enables/disables the SCR_EL3.TERR 1184 bit, to trap access to the RAS ERR and RAS ERX registers from lower ELs. 1185 This flag is disabled by default. 1186 1187- ``OPENSSL_DIR``: This option is used to provide the path to a directory on the 1188 host machine where a custom installation of OpenSSL is located, which is used 1189 to build the certificate generation, firmware encryption and FIP tools. If 1190 this option is not set, the default OS installation will be used. 1191 1192- ``USE_SP804_TIMER``: Use the SP804 timer instead of the Generic Timer for 1193 functions that wait for an arbitrary time length (udelay and mdelay). The 1194 default value is 0. 1195 1196- ``ENABLE_BRBE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable access to the branch record 1197 buffer registers from NS ELs when FEAT_BRBE is implemented. BRBE is an 1198 optional architectural feature for AArch64. This flag can take the values 1199 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. The default is 0 1200 and it is automatically disabled when the target architecture is AArch32. 1201 1202- ``ENABLE_TRBE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable access of trace buffer 1203 control registers from NS ELs, NS-EL2 or NS-EL1(when NS-EL2 is implemented 1204 but unused) when FEAT_TRBE is implemented. TRBE is an optional architectural 1205 feature for AArch64. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the 1206 ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. The default is 0 and it is automatically 1207 disabled when the target architecture is AArch32. 1208 1209- ``ENABLE_SYS_REG_TRACE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable trace system 1210 registers access from NS ELs, NS-EL2 or NS-EL1 (when NS-EL2 is implemented 1211 but unused). This feature is available if trace unit such as ETMv4.x, and 1212 ETE(extending ETM feature) is implemented. This flag can take the values 1213 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. The default is 0. 1214 1215- ``ENABLE_TRF_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable trace filter control registers 1216 access from NS ELs, NS-EL2 or NS-EL1 (when NS-EL2 is implemented but unused), 1217 if FEAT_TRF is implemented. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align 1218 with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. This flag is disabled by default. 1219 1220- ``CONDITIONAL_CMO``: Boolean option to enable call to platform-defined routine 1221 ``plat_can_cmo`` which will return zero if cache management operations should 1222 be skipped and non-zero otherwise. By default, this option is disabled which 1223 means platform hook won't be checked and CMOs will always be performed when 1224 related functions are called. 1225 1226- ``ERRATA_ABI_SUPPORT``: Boolean option to enable support for Errata management 1227 firmware interface for the BL31 image. By default its disabled (``0``). 1228 1229- ``ERRATA_NON_ARM_INTERCONNECT``: Boolean option to enable support for the 1230 errata mitigation for platforms with a non-arm interconnect using the errata 1231 ABI. By default its disabled (``0``). 1232 1233- ``ENABLE_CONSOLE_GETC``: Boolean option to enable `getc()` feature in console 1234 driver(s). By default it is disabled (``0``) because it constitutes an attack 1235 vector into TF-A by potentially allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary data. 1236 This option should only be enabled on a need basis if there is a use case for 1237 reading characters from the console. 1238 1239GICv3 driver options 1240-------------------- 1241 1242GICv3 driver files are included using directive: 1243 1244``include drivers/arm/gic/v3/gicv3.mk`` 1245 1246The driver can be configured with the following options set in the platform 1247makefile: 1248 1249- ``GICV3_SUPPORT_GIC600``: Add support for the GIC-600 variants of GICv3. 1250 Enabling this option will add runtime detection support for the 1251 GIC-600, so is safe to select even for a GIC500 implementation. 1252 This option defaults to 0. 1253 1254- ``GICV3_SUPPORT_GIC600AE_FMU``: Add support for the Fault Management Unit 1255 for GIC-600 AE. Enabling this option will introduce support to initialize 1256 the FMU. Platforms should call the init function during boot to enable the 1257 FMU and its safety mechanisms. This option defaults to 0. 1258 1259- ``GICV3_IMPL_GIC600_MULTICHIP``: Selects GIC-600 variant with multichip 1260 functionality. This option defaults to 0 1261 1262- ``GICV3_OVERRIDE_DISTIF_PWR_OPS``: Allows override of default implementation 1263 of ``arm_gicv3_distif_pre_save`` and ``arm_gicv3_distif_post_restore`` 1264 functions. This is required for FVP platform which need to simulate GIC save 1265 and restore during SYSTEM_SUSPEND without powering down GIC. Default is 0. 1266 1267- ``GIC_ENABLE_V4_EXTN`` : Enables GICv4 related changes in GICv3 driver. 1268 This option defaults to 0. 1269 1270- ``GIC_EXT_INTID``: When set to ``1``, GICv3 driver will support extended 1271 PPI (1056-1119) and SPI (4096-5119) range. This option defaults to 0. 1272 1273Debugging options 1274----------------- 1275 1276To compile a debug version and make the build more verbose use 1277 1278.. code:: shell 1279 1280 make PLAT=<platform> DEBUG=1 V=1 all 1281 1282AArch64 GCC 11 uses DWARF version 5 debugging symbols by default. Some tools 1283(for example Arm-DS) might not support this and may need an older version of 1284DWARF symbols to be emitted by GCC. This can be achieved by using the 1285``-gdwarf-<version>`` flag, with the version being set to 2, 3, 4 or 5. Setting 1286the version to 4 is recommended for Arm-DS. 1287 1288When debugging logic problems it might also be useful to disable all compiler 1289optimizations by using ``-O0``. 1290 1291.. warning:: 1292 Using ``-O0`` could cause output images to be larger and base addresses 1293 might need to be recalculated (see the **Memory layout on Arm development 1294 platforms** section in the :ref:`Firmware Design`). 1295 1296Extra debug options can be passed to the build system by setting ``CFLAGS`` or 1297``LDFLAGS``: 1298 1299.. code:: shell 1300 1301 CFLAGS='-O0 -gdwarf-2' \ 1302 make PLAT=<platform> DEBUG=1 V=1 all 1303 1304Note that using ``-Wl,`` style compilation driver options in ``CFLAGS`` will be 1305ignored as the linker is called directly. 1306 1307It is also possible to introduce an infinite loop to help in debugging the 1308post-BL2 phase of TF-A. This can be done by rebuilding BL1 with the 1309``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT=1`` build flag. Refer to the :ref:`build_options_common` 1310section. In this case, the developer may take control of the target using a 1311debugger when indicated by the console output. When using Arm-DS, the following 1312commands can be used: 1313 1314:: 1315 1316 # Stop target execution 1317 interrupt 1318 1319 # 1320 # Prepare your debugging environment, e.g. set breakpoints 1321 # 1322 1323 # Jump over the debug loop 1324 set var $AARCH64::$Core::$PC = $AARCH64::$Core::$PC + 4 1325 1326 # Resume execution 1327 continue 1328 1329.. _build_options_experimental: 1330 1331Experimental build options 1332--------------------------- 1333 1334Common build options 1335~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1336 1337- ``DICE_PROTECTION_ENVIRONMENT``: Boolean flag to specify the measured boot 1338 backend when ``MEASURED_BOOT`` is enabled. The default value is ``0``. When 1339 set to ``1`` then measurements and additional metadata collected during the 1340 measured boot process are sent to the DICE Protection Environment for storage 1341 and processing. A certificate chain, which represents the boot state of the 1342 device, can be queried from the DPE. 1343 1344- ``DRTM_SUPPORT``: Boolean flag to enable support for Dynamic Root of Trust 1345 for Measurement (DRTM). This feature has trust dependency on BL31 for taking 1346 the measurements and recording them as per `PSA DRTM specification`_. For 1347 platforms which use BL2 to load/authenticate BL31 ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` can 1348 be used and for the platforms which use ``RESET_TO_BL31`` platform owners 1349 should have mechanism to authenticate BL31. This option defaults to 0. 1350 1351- ``ENABLE_RME``: Numeric value to enable support for the ARMv9 Realm 1352 Management Extension. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with 1353 the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. Default value is 0. 1354 1355- ``RMMD_ENABLE_EL3_TOKEN_SIGN``: Numeric value to enable support for singing 1356 realm attestation token signing requests in EL3. This flag can take the 1357 values 0 and 1. The default value is ``0``. When set to ``1``, this option 1358 enables additional RMMD SMCs to push and pop requests for signing to 1359 EL3 along with platform hooks that must be implemented to service those 1360 requests and responses. 1361 1362- ``ENABLE_SME_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable Scalable Matrix Extension 1363 (SME), SVE, and FPU/SIMD for the non-secure world only. These features share 1364 registers so are enabled together. Using this option without 1365 ENABLE_SME_FOR_SWD=1 will cause SME, SVE, and FPU/SIMD instructions in secure 1366 world to trap to EL3. Requires ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS`` to be set as SME is a 1367 superset of SVE. SME is an optional architectural feature for AArch64. 1368 At this time, this build option cannot be used on systems that have 1369 SPD=spmd/SPM_MM and atempting to build with this option will fail. 1370 This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` 1371 mechanism. Default is 0. 1372 1373- ``ENABLE_SME2_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable Scalable Matrix Extension 1374 version 2 (SME2) for the non-secure world only. SME2 is an optional 1375 architectural feature for AArch64. 1376 This should be set along with ENABLE_SME_FOR_NS=1, if not, the default SME 1377 accesses will still be trapped. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to 1378 align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. Default is 0. 1379 1380- ``ENABLE_SME_FOR_SWD``: Boolean option to enable the Scalable Matrix 1381 Extension for secure world. Used along with SVE and FPU/SIMD. 1382 ENABLE_SME_FOR_NS and ENABLE_SVE_FOR_SWD must also be set to use this. 1383 Default is 0. 1384 1385- ``ENABLE_SPMD_LP`` : This boolean option is used jointly with the SPM 1386 Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``). When enabled (1) it indicates support 1387 for logical partitions in EL3, managed by the SPMD as defined in the 1388 FF-A v1.2 specification. This flag is disabled by default. This flag 1389 must not be used if ``SPMC_AT_EL3`` is enabled. 1390 1391- ``FEATURE_DETECTION``: Boolean option to enable the architectural features 1392 verification mechanism. This is a debug feature that compares the 1393 architectural features enabled through the feature specific build flags 1394 (ENABLE_FEAT_xxx) with the features actually available on the CPU running, 1395 and reports any discrepancies. 1396 This flag will also enable errata ordering checking for ``DEBUG`` builds. 1397 1398 It is expected that this feature is only used for flexible platforms like 1399 software emulators, or for hardware platforms at bringup time, to verify 1400 that the configured feature set matches the CPU. 1401 The ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` macro is disabled by default. 1402 1403- ``PSA_CRYPTO``: Boolean option for enabling MbedTLS PSA crypto APIs support. 1404 The platform will use PSA compliant Crypto APIs during authentication and 1405 image measurement process by enabling this option. It uses APIs defined as 1406 per the `PSA Crypto API specification`_. This feature is only supported if 1407 using MbedTLS 3.x version. It is disabled (``0``) by default. 1408 1409- ``TRANSFER_LIST``: Setting this to ``1`` enables support for Firmware 1410 Handoff using Transfer List defined in `Firmware Handoff specification`_. 1411 This defaults to ``0``. Current implementation follows the Firmware Handoff 1412 specification v0.9. 1413 1414- ``USE_DEBUGFS``: When set to 1 this option exposes a virtual filesystem 1415 interface through BL31 as a SiP SMC function. 1416 Default is disabled (0). 1417 1418- ``HOB_LIST``: Setting this to ``1`` enables support for passing boot 1419 information using HOB defined in `Platform Initialization specification`_. 1420 This defaults to ``0``. 1421 1422Firmware update options 1423~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1424 1425- ``PSA_FWU_SUPPORT``: Enable the firmware update mechanism as per the 1426 `PSA FW update specification`_. The default value is 0. 1427 PSA firmware update implementation has few limitations, such as: 1428 1429 - BL2 is not part of the protocol-updatable images. If BL2 needs to 1430 be updated, then it should be done through another platform-defined 1431 mechanism. 1432 1433 - It assumes the platform's hardware supports CRC32 instructions. 1434 1435- ``NR_OF_FW_BANKS``: Define the number of firmware banks. This flag is used 1436 in defining the firmware update metadata structure. This flag is by default 1437 set to '2'. 1438 1439- ``NR_OF_IMAGES_IN_FW_BANK``: Define the number of firmware images in each 1440 firmware bank. Each firmware bank must have the same number of images as per 1441 the `PSA FW update specification`_. 1442 This flag is used in defining the firmware update metadata structure. This 1443 flag is by default set to '1'. 1444 1445- ``PSA_FWU_METADATA_FW_STORE_DESC``: To be enabled when the FWU 1446 metadata contains image description. The default value is 1. 1447 1448 The version 2 of the FWU metadata allows for an opaque metadata 1449 structure where a platform can choose to not include the firmware 1450 store description in the metadata structure. This option indicates 1451 if the firmware store description, which provides information on 1452 the updatable images is part of the structure. 1453 1454-------------- 1455 1456*Copyright (c) 2019-2024, Arm Limited.
