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.

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-  ``BL33``: Path to BL33 image in the host file system. This is mandatory for
103   ``fip`` target in case TF-A BL2 is used.
104
105-  ``BL33_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies a
106   file that contains the BL33 private key in PEM format or a PKCS11 URI. If
107   ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, only a file is accepted and it will be used to save the key.
108
109-  ``BRANCH_PROTECTION``: Numeric value to enable ARMv8.3 Pointer Authentication
110   and ARMv8.5 Branch Target Identification support for TF-A BL images themselves.
111   If enabled, it is needed to use a compiler that supports the option
112   ``-mbranch-protection``. Selects the branch protection features to use:
113-  0: Default value turns off all types of branch protection
114-  1: Enables all types of branch protection features
115-  2: Return address signing to its standard level
116-  3: Extend the signing to include leaf functions
117-  4: Turn on branch target identification mechanism
118
119   The table below summarizes ``BRANCH_PROTECTION`` values, GCC compilation options
120   and resulting PAuth/BTI features.
121
122   +-------+--------------+-------+-----+
123   | Value |  GCC option  | PAuth | BTI |
124   +=======+==============+=======+=====+
125   |   0   |     none     |   N   |  N  |
126   +-------+--------------+-------+-----+
127   |   1   |   standard   |   Y   |  Y  |
128   +-------+--------------+-------+-----+
129   |   2   |   pac-ret    |   Y   |  N  |
130   +-------+--------------+-------+-----+
131   |   3   | pac-ret+leaf |   Y   |  N  |
132   +-------+--------------+-------+-----+
133   |   4   |     bti      |   N   |  Y  |
134   +-------+--------------+-------+-----+
135
136   This option defaults to 0.
137   Note that Pointer Authentication is enabled for Non-secure world
138   irrespective of the value of this option if the CPU supports it.
139
140-  ``BUILD_MESSAGE_TIMESTAMP``: String used to identify the time and date of the
141   compilation of each build. It must be set to a C string (including quotes
142   where applicable). Defaults to a string that contains the time and date of
143   the compilation.
144
145-  ``BUILD_STRING``: Input string for VERSION_STRING, which allows the TF-A
146   build to be uniquely identified. Defaults to the current git commit id.
147
148-  ``BUILD_BASE``: Output directory for the build. Defaults to ``./build``
149
150-  ``CFLAGS``: Extra user options appended on the compiler's command line in
151   addition to the options set by the build system.
152
153-  ``COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU``: This option indicates whether the platform may
154   release several CPUs out of reset. It can take either 0 (several CPUs may be
155   brought up) or 1 (only one CPU will ever be brought up during cold reset).
156   Default is 0. If the platform always brings up a single CPU, there is no
157   need to distinguish between primary and secondary CPUs and the boot path can
158   be optimised. The ``plat_is_my_cpu_primary()`` and
159   ``plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup()`` platform porting interfaces do not need
160   to be implemented in this case.
161
162-  ``COT``: When Trusted Boot is enabled, selects the desired chain of trust.
163   Defaults to ``tbbr``.
164
165-  ``CRASH_REPORTING``: A non-zero value enables a console dump of processor
166   register state when an unexpected exception occurs during execution of
167   BL31. This option defaults to the value of ``DEBUG`` - i.e. by default
168   this is only enabled for a debug build of the firmware.
169
170-  ``CREATE_KEYS``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It tells the
171   certificate generation tool to create new keys in case no valid keys are
172   present or specified. Allowed options are '0' or '1'. Default is '1'.
173
174-  ``CTX_INCLUDE_AARCH32_REGS`` : Boolean option that, when set to 1, will cause
175   the AArch32 system registers to be included when saving and restoring the
176   CPU context. The option must be set to 0 for AArch64-only platforms (that
177   is on hardware that does not implement AArch32, or at least not at EL1 and
178   higher ELs). Default value is 1.
179
180-  ``CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS``: Boolean option that, when set to 1, will cause the FP
181   registers to be included when saving and restoring the CPU context. Default
182   is 0.
183
184-  ``CTX_INCLUDE_MPAM_REGS``: Boolean option that, when set to 1, will cause the
185   Memory System Resource Partitioning and Monitoring (MPAM)
186   registers to be included when saving and restoring the CPU context.
187   Default is '0'.
188
189-  ``CTX_INCLUDE_NEVE_REGS``: Numeric value, when set will cause the Armv8.4-NV
190   registers to be saved/restored when entering/exiting an EL2 execution
191   context. This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with the
192   ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. Default value is 0.
193
194-  ``CTX_INCLUDE_PAUTH_REGS``: Numeric value to enable the Pointer
195   Authentication for Secure world. This will cause the ARMv8.3-PAuth registers
196   to be included when saving and restoring the CPU context as part of world
197   switch. This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with ``ENABLE_FEAT``
198   mechanism. Default value is 0.
199
200   Note that Pointer Authentication is enabled for Non-secure world irrespective
201   of the value of this flag if the CPU supports it.
202
203-  ``DEBUG``: Chooses between a debug and release build. It can take either 0
204   (release) or 1 (debug) as values. 0 is the default.
205
206-  ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT``: This build flag enables the user to select the
207   authenticated decryption algorithm to be used to decrypt firmware/s during
208   boot. It accepts 2 values: ``aes_gcm`` and ``none``. The default value of
209   this flag is ``none`` to disable firmware decryption which is an optional
210   feature as per TBBR.
211
212-  ``DISABLE_BIN_GENERATION``: Boolean option to disable the generation
213   of the binary image. If set to 1, then only the ELF image is built.
214   0 is the default.
215
216-  ``DISABLE_MTPMU``: Numeric option to disable ``FEAT_MTPMU`` (Multi Threaded
217   PMU). ``FEAT_MTPMU`` is an optional feature available on Armv8.6 onwards.
218   This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
219   mechanism. Default is ``0``.
220
221-  ``DYN_DISABLE_AUTH``: Provides the capability to dynamically disable Trusted
222   Board Boot authentication at runtime. This option is meant to be enabled only
223   for development platforms. ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` flag must be set if this
224   flag has to be enabled. 0 is the default.
225
226-  ``E``: Boolean option to make warnings into errors. Default is 1.
227
228   When specifying higher warnings levels (``W=1`` and higher), this option
229   defaults to 0. This is done to encourage contributors to use them, as they
230   are expected to produce warnings that would otherwise fail the build. New
231   contributions are still expected to build with ``W=0`` and ``E=1`` (the
232   default).
233
234-  ``EARLY_CONSOLE``: This option is used to enable early traces before default
235   console is properly setup. It introduces EARLY_* traces macros, that will
236   use the non-EARLY traces macros if the flag is enabled, or do nothing
237   otherwise. To use this feature, platforms will have to create the function
238   plat_setup_early_console().
239   Default is 0 (disabled)
240
241-  ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE``: This option enables booting an EL3 payload instead of
242   the normal boot flow. It must specify the entry point address of the EL3
243   payload. Please refer to the "Booting an EL3 payload" section for more
244   details.
245
246-  ``ENABLE_AMU_AUXILIARY_COUNTERS``: Enables support for AMU auxiliary counters
247   (also known as group 1 counters). These are implementation-defined counters,
248   and as such require additional platform configuration. Default is 0.
249
250-  ``ENABLE_AMU_FCONF``: Enables configuration of the AMU through FCONF, which
251   allows platforms with auxiliary counters to describe them via the
252   ``HW_CONFIG`` device tree blob. Default is 0.
253
254-  ``ENABLE_ASSERTIONS``: This option controls whether or not calls to ``assert()``
255   are compiled out. For debug builds, this option defaults to 1, and calls to
256   ``assert()`` are left in place. For release builds, this option defaults to 0
257   and calls to ``assert()`` function are compiled out. This option can be set
258   independently of ``DEBUG``. It can also be used to hide any auxiliary code
259   that is only required for the assertion and does not fit in the assertion
260   itself.
261
262-  ``ENABLE_BACKTRACE``: This option controls whether to enable backtrace
263   dumps or not. It is supported in both AArch64 and AArch32. However, in
264   AArch32 the format of the frame records are not defined in the AAPCS and they
265   are defined by the implementation. This implementation of backtrace only
266   supports the format used by GCC when T32 interworking is disabled. For this
267   reason enabling this option in AArch32 will force the compiler to only
268   generate A32 code. This option is enabled by default only in AArch64 debug
269   builds, but this behaviour can be overridden in each platform's Makefile or
270   in the build command line.
271
272-  ``ENABLE_FEAT``
273   The Arm architecture defines several architecture extension features,
274   named FEAT_xxx in the architecure manual. Some of those features require
275   setup code in higher exception levels, other features might be used by TF-A
276   code itself.
277   Most of the feature flags defined in the TF-A build system permit to take
278   the values 0, 1 or 2, with the following meaning:
279
280   ::
281
282     ENABLE_FEAT_* = 0: Feature is disabled statically at compile time.
283     ENABLE_FEAT_* = 1: Feature is enabled unconditionally at compile time.
284     ENABLE_FEAT_* = 2: Feature is enabled, but checked at runtime.
285
286   When setting the flag to 0, the feature is disabled during compilation,
287   and the compiler's optimisation stage and the linker will try to remove
288   as much of this code as possible.
289   If it is defined to 1, the code will use the feature unconditionally, so the
290   CPU is expected to support that feature. The FEATURE_DETECTION debug
291   feature, if enabled, will verify this.
292   If the feature flag is set to 2, support for the feature will be compiled
293   in, but its existence will be checked at runtime, so it works on CPUs with
294   or without the feature. This is mostly useful for platforms which either
295   support multiple different CPUs, or where the CPU is configured at runtime,
296   like in emulators.
297
298-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_AMU``: Numeric value to enable Activity Monitor Unit
299   extensions. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the
300   ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. This is an optional architectural feature
301   available on v8.4 onwards. Some v8.2 implementations also implement an AMU
302   and this option can be used to enable this feature on those systems as well.
303   This flag can take the values 0 to 2, the default is 0.
304
305-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_AMUv1p1``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_AMUv1p1``
306   extension. ``FEAT_AMUv1p1`` is an optional feature available on Arm v8.6

313   optional feature available on Arm v8.0 onwards. This flag can take values
314   0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism.

318   extension. This feature is supported in AArch64 state only and is an optional
319   feature available in Arm v8.0 implementations.

321   The flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
322   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
323
324- ``ENABLE_FEAT_DEBUGV8P9``: Numeric value to enable ``FEAT_DEBUGV8P9``
325   extension which allows the ability to implement more than 16 breakpoints
326   and/or watchpoints. This feature is mandatory from v8.9 and is optional

357-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_HCX``: Numeric value to set the bit SCR_EL3.HXEn in EL3 to
358   allow access to HCRX_EL2 (extended hypervisor control register) from EL2 as
359   well as adding HCRX_EL2 to the EL2 context save/restore operations. Its a
360   mandatory architectural feature and is enabled from v8.7 and upwards. This
361   flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
362   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
363
364-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_MTE2``: Numeric value to enable Memory Tagging Extension2
365   if the platform wants to use this feature and MTE2 is enabled at ELX.
366   This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
367   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
368
369-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_PAN``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_PAN`` (Privileged
370   Access Never) extension. ``FEAT_PAN`` adds a bit to PSTATE, generating a
371   permission fault for any privileged data access from EL1/EL2 to virtual
372   memory address, accessible at EL0, provided (HCR_EL2.E2H=1). It is a
373   mandatory architectural feature and is enabled from v8.1 and upwards. This
374   flag can take values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
375   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
376
377-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_RNG``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_RNG`` extension.
378   ``FEAT_RNG`` is an optional feature available on Arm v8.5 onwards. This
379   flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
380   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
381
382-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_RNG_TRAP``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_RNG_TRAP``
383   extension. This feature is only supported in AArch64 state. This flag can
384   take values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism.
385   Default value is ``0``. ``FEAT_RNG_TRAP`` is an optional feature from
386   Armv8.5 onwards.
387
388-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_SB``: Boolean option to let the TF-A code use the ``FEAT_SB``
389   (Speculation Barrier) instruction ``FEAT_SB`` is an optional feature and
390   defaults to ``0`` for pre-Armv8.5 CPUs, but is mandatory for Armv8.5 or

401   available on Arm v8.6. This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with the
402   ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. Default is ``0``.
403
404    When ``ENABLE_FEAT_TWED`` is set to ``1``, WFE instruction trapping gets
405    delayed by the amount of value in ``TWED_DELAY``.
406
407-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_VHE``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_VHE`` (Virtualization
408   Host Extensions) extension. It allows access to CONTEXTIDR_EL2 register
409   during EL2 context save/restore operations.``FEAT_VHE`` is a mandatory
410   architectural feature and is enabled from v8.1 and upwards. It can take
411   values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism.
412   Default value is ``0``.
413
414-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_TCR2``: Numeric value to set the bit SCR_EL3.ENTCR2 in EL3 to
415   allow access to TCR2_EL2 (extended translation control) from EL2 as
416   well as adding TCR2_EL2 to the EL2 context save/restore operations. Its a
417   mandatory architectural feature and is enabled from v8.9 and upwards. This
418   flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
419   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
420
421-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_S2PIE``: Numeric value to enable support for FEAT_S2PIE
422   at EL2 and below, and context switch relevant registers.  This flag
423   can take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
424   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
425
426-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_S1PIE``: Numeric value to enable support for FEAT_S1PIE
427   at EL2 and below, and context switch relevant registers.  This flag
428   can take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
429   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
430
431-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_S2POE``: Numeric value to enable support for FEAT_S2POE
432   at EL2 and below, and context switch relevant registers.  This flag
433   can take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
434   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
435
436-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_S1POE``: Numeric value to enable support for FEAT_S1POE
437   at EL2 and below, and context switch relevant registers.  This flag
438   can take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
439   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
440
441-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_GCS``: Numeric value to set the bit SCR_EL3.GCSEn in EL3 to
442   allow use of Guarded Control Stack from EL2 as well as adding the GCS
443   registers to the EL2 context save/restore operations. This flag can take
444   the values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism.
445   Default value is ``0``.
446
447-  ``ENABLE_LTO``: Boolean option to enable Link Time Optimization (LTO)
448   support in GCC for TF-A. This option is currently only supported for
449   AArch64. Default is 0.
450
451-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_MPAM``: Numeric value to enable lower ELs to use MPAM
452   feature. MPAM is an optional Armv8.4 extension that enables various memory
453   system components and resources to define partitions; software running at
454   various ELs can assign themselves to desired partition to control their
455   performance aspects.
456
457   This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
458   mechanism. When this option is set to ``1`` or ``2``, EL3 allows lower ELs to
459   access their own MPAM registers without trapping into EL3. This option
460   doesn't make use of partitioning in EL3, however. Platform initialisation
461   code should configure and use partitions in EL3 as required. This option
462   defaults to ``2`` since MPAM is enabled by default for NS world only.
463   The flag is automatically disabled when the target
464   architecture is AArch32.
465
466-  ``ENABLE_MPMM``: Boolean option to enable support for the Maximum Power
467   Mitigation Mechanism supported by certain Arm cores, which allows the SoC
468   firmware to detect and limit high activity events to assist in SoC processor
469   power domain dynamic power budgeting and limit the triggering of whole-rail
470   (i.e. clock chopping) responses to overcurrent conditions. Defaults to ``0``.
471
472-  ``ENABLE_MPMM_FCONF``: Enables configuration of MPMM through FCONF, which
473   allows platforms with cores supporting MPMM to describe them via the
474   ``HW_CONFIG`` device tree blob. Default is 0.
475
476-  ``ENABLE_PIE``: Boolean option to enable Position Independent Executable(PIE)
477   support within generic code in TF-A. This option is currently only supported
478   in BL2, BL31, and BL32 (TSP) for AARCH64 binaries, and
479   in BL32 (SP_min) for AARCH32. Default is 0.
480
481-  ``ENABLE_PMF``: Boolean option to enable support for optional Performance
482   Measurement Framework(PMF). Default is 0.
483
484-  ``ENABLE_PSCI_STAT``: Boolean option to enable support for optional PSCI
485   functions ``PSCI_STAT_RESIDENCY`` and ``PSCI_STAT_COUNT``. Default is 0.
486   In the absence of an alternate stat collection backend, ``ENABLE_PMF`` must
487   be enabled. If ``ENABLE_PMF`` is set, the residency statistics are tracked in
488   software.
489
490-  ``ENABLE_RUNTIME_INSTRUMENTATION``: Boolean option to enable runtime
491   instrumentation which injects timestamp collection points into TF-A to
492   allow runtime performance to be measured. Currently, only PSCI is
493   instrumented. Enabling this option enables the ``ENABLE_PMF`` build option
494   as well. Default is 0.
495
496-  ``ENABLE_SPE_FOR_NS`` : Numeric value to enable Statistical Profiling
497   extensions. This is an optional architectural feature for AArch64.
498   This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
499   mechanism. The default is 2 but is automatically disabled when the target
500   architecture is AArch32.
501
502-  ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable Scalable Vector Extension
503   (SVE) for the Non-secure world only. SVE is an optional architectural feature
504   for AArch64. Note that when SVE is enabled for the Non-secure world, access
505   to SIMD and floating-point functionality from the Secure world is disabled by
506   default and controlled with ENABLE_SVE_FOR_SWD.
507   This is to avoid corruption of the Non-secure world data in the Z-registers
508   which are aliased by the SIMD and FP registers. The build option is not
509   compatible with the ``CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS`` build option, and will raise an
510   assert on platforms where SVE is implemented and ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS``
511   enabled.  This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the
512   ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. At this time, this build option cannot be
513   used on systems that have SPM_MM enabled. The default is 1.
514
515-  ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_SWD``: Boolean option to enable SVE for the Secure world.
516   SVE is an optional architectural feature for AArch64. Note that this option
517   requires ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS to be enabled. The default is 0 and it is
518   automatically disabled when the target architecture is AArch32.
519
520-  ``ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR``: String option to enable the stack protection
521   checks in GCC. Allowed values are "all", "strong", "default" and "none". The
522   default value is set to "none". "strong" is the recommended stack protection
523   level if this feature is desired. "none" disables the stack protection. For
524   all values other than "none", the ``plat_get_stack_protector_canary()``
525   platform hook needs to be implemented. The value is passed as the last
526   component of the option ``-fstack-protector-$ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR``.
527
528-  ``ENCRYPT_BL31``: Binary flag to enable encryption of BL31 firmware. This
529   flag depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag.
530
531-  ``ENCRYPT_BL32``: Binary flag to enable encryption of Secure BL32 payload.
532   This flag depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag.
533
534-  ``ENC_KEY``: A 32-byte (256-bit) symmetric key in hex string format. It could
535   either be SSK or BSSK depending on ``FW_ENC_STATUS`` flag. This value depends
536   on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag.
537
538-  ``ENC_NONCE``: A 12-byte (96-bit) encryption nonce or Initialization Vector
539   (IV) in hex string format. This value depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT``
540   build flag.
541
542-  ``ERROR_DEPRECATED``: This option decides whether to treat the usage of
543   deprecated platform APIs, helper functions or drivers within Trusted
544   Firmware as error. It can take the value 1 (flag the use of deprecated
545   APIs as error) or 0. The default is 0.
546
547-  ``ETHOSN_NPU_DRIVER``: boolean option to enable a SiP service that can
548   configure an Arm® Ethos™-N NPU. To use this service the target platform's
549   ``HW_CONFIG`` must include the device tree nodes for the NPU. Currently, only
550   the Arm Juno platform has this included in its ``HW_CONFIG`` and the platform
551   only loads the ``HW_CONFIG`` in AArch64 builds. Default is 0.
552
553-  ``ETHOSN_NPU_TZMP1``: boolean option to enable TZMP1 support for the
554   Arm® Ethos™-N NPU. Requires ``ETHOSN_NPU_DRIVER`` and
555   ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` to be enabled.
556
557-  ``ETHOSN_NPU_FW``: location of the NPU firmware binary
558   (```ethosn.bin```). This firmware image will be included in the FIP and
559   loaded at runtime.
560
561-  ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING``: When set to ``1``, enable handling of exceptions
562   targeted at EL3. When set ``0`` (default), no exceptions are expected or
563   handled at EL3, and a panic will result. The exception to this rule is when
564   ``SPMD_SPM_AT_SEL2`` is set to ``1``, in which case, only exceptions
565   occuring during normal world execution, are trapped to EL3. Any exception
566   trapped during secure world execution are trapped to the SPMC. This is
567   supported only for AArch64 builds.
568
569-  ``EVENT_LOG_LEVEL``: Chooses the log level to use for Measured Boot when
570   ``MEASURED_BOOT`` is enabled. For a list of valid values, see ``LOG_LEVEL``.
571   Default value is 40 (LOG_LEVEL_INFO).
572
573-  ``FAULT_INJECTION_SUPPORT``: ARMv8.4 extensions introduced support for fault
574   injection from lower ELs, and this build option enables lower ELs to use
575   Error Records accessed via System Registers to inject faults. This is
576   applicable only to AArch64 builds.
577
578   This feature is intended for testing purposes only, and is advisable to keep
579   disabled for production images.
580
581-  ``FIP_NAME``: This is an optional build option which specifies the FIP
582   filename for the ``fip`` target. Default is ``fip.bin``.
583
584-  ``FWU_FIP_NAME``: This is an optional build option which specifies the FWU
585   FIP filename for the ``fwu_fip`` target. Default is ``fwu_fip.bin``.
586
587-  ``FW_ENC_STATUS``: Top level firmware's encryption numeric flag, values:
588
589   ::
590
591     0: Encryption is done with Secret Symmetric Key (SSK) which is common
592        for a class of devices.
593     1: Encryption is done with Binding Secret Symmetric Key (BSSK) which is
594        unique per device.
595
596   This flag depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag.
597
598-  ``GENERATE_COT``: Boolean flag used to build and execute the ``cert_create``
599   tool to create certificates as per the Chain of Trust described in
600   :ref:`Trusted Board Boot`. The build system then calls ``fiptool`` to
601   include the certificates in the FIP and FWU_FIP. Default value is '0'.
602
603   Specify both ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1`` and ``GENERATE_COT=1`` to include support
604   for the Trusted Board Boot feature in the BL1 and BL2 images, to generate
605   the corresponding certificates, and to include those certificates in the
606   FIP and FWU_FIP.
607
608   Note that if ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=0`` and ``GENERATE_COT=1``, the BL1 and BL2
609   images will not include support for Trusted Board Boot. The FIP will still
610   include the corresponding certificates. This FIP can be used to verify the
611   Chain of Trust on the host machine through other mechanisms.
612
613   Note that if ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1`` and ``GENERATE_COT=0``, the BL1 and BL2
614   images will include support for Trusted Board Boot, but the FIP and FWU_FIP
615   will not include the corresponding certificates, causing a boot failure.
616
617-  ``GICV2_G0_FOR_EL3``: Unlike GICv3, the GICv2 architecture doesn't have
618   inherent support for specific EL3 type interrupts. Setting this build option
619   to ``1`` assumes GICv2 *Group 0* interrupts are expected to target EL3, both
620   by :ref:`platform abstraction layer<platform Interrupt Controller API>` and
621   :ref:`Interrupt Management Framework<Interrupt Management Framework>`.
622   This allows GICv2 platforms to enable features requiring EL3 interrupt type.
623   This also means that all GICv2 Group 0 interrupts are delivered to EL3, and
624   the Secure Payload interrupts needs to be synchronously handed over to Secure
625   EL1 for handling. The default value of this option is ``0``, which means the
626   Group 0 interrupts are assumed to be handled by Secure EL1.
627
628-  ``HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST_NS``: When set to ``1``, External Aborts and SError
629   Interrupts, resulting from errors in NS world, will be always trapped in
630   EL3 i.e. in BL31 at runtime. When set to ``0`` (default), these exceptions
631   will be trapped in the current exception level (or in EL1 if the current
632   exception level is EL0).
633
634-  ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY``: On most Arm systems to-date, platform-specific
635   software operations are required for CPUs to enter and exit coherency.
636   However, newer systems exist where CPUs' entry to and exit from coherency
637   is managed in hardware. Such systems require software to only initiate these
638   operations, and the rest is managed in hardware, minimizing active software
639   management. In such systems, this boolean option enables TF-A to carry out
640   build and run-time optimizations during boot and power management operations.
641   This option defaults to 0 and if it is enabled, then it implies
642   ``WARMBOOT_ENABLE_DCACHE_EARLY`` is also enabled.
643
644   If this flag is disabled while the platform which TF-A is compiled for
645   includes cores that manage coherency in hardware, then a compilation error is
646   generated. This is based on the fact that a system cannot have, at the same
647   time, cores that manage coherency in hardware and cores that don't. In other
648   words, a platform cannot have, at the same time, cores that require
649   ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY=1`` and cores that require
650   ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY=0``.
651
652   Note that, when ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY`` is enabled, version 2 of
653   translation library (xlat tables v2) must be used; version 1 of translation
654   library is not supported.
655
656-  ``IMPDEF_SYSREG_TRAP``: Numeric value to enable the handling traps for
657   implementation defined system register accesses from lower ELs. Default
658   value is ``0``.
659
660-  ``INVERTED_MEMMAP``: memmap tool print by default lower addresses at the
661   bottom, higher addresses at the top. This build flag can be set to '1' to
662   invert this behavior. Lower addresses will be printed at the top and higher
663   addresses at the bottom.
664
665-  ``KEY_ALG``: This build flag enables the user to select the algorithm to be
666   used for generating the PKCS keys and subsequent signing of the certificate.
667   It accepts 5 values: ``rsa``, ``rsa_1_5``, ``ecdsa``, ``ecdsa-brainpool-regular``
668   and ``ecdsa-brainpool-twisted``. The option ``rsa_1_5`` is the legacy PKCS#1
669   RSA 1.5 algorithm which is not TBBR compliant and is retained only for
670   compatibility. The default value of this flag is ``rsa`` which is the TBBR
671   compliant PKCS#1 RSA 2.1 scheme.
672
673-  ``KEY_SIZE``: This build flag enables the user to select the key size for
674   the algorithm specified by ``KEY_ALG``. The valid values for ``KEY_SIZE``
675   depend on the chosen algorithm and the cryptographic module.
676
677   +---------------------------+------------------------------------+
678   |         KEY_ALG           |        Possible key sizes          |
679   +===========================+====================================+
680   |           rsa             | 1024 , 2048 (default), 3072, 4096  |
681   +---------------------------+------------------------------------+
682   |          ecdsa            |         256 (default), 384         |
683   +---------------------------+------------------------------------+
684   |  ecdsa-brainpool-regular  |            unavailable             |
685   +---------------------------+------------------------------------+
686   |  ecdsa-brainpool-twisted  |            unavailable             |
687   +---------------------------+------------------------------------+
688
689-  ``HASH_ALG``: This build flag enables the user to select the secure hash
690   algorithm. It accepts 3 values: ``sha256``, ``sha384`` and ``sha512``.
691   The default value of this flag is ``sha256``.
692
693-  ``LDFLAGS``: Extra user options appended to the linkers' command line in
694   addition to the one set by the build system.
695
696-  ``LOG_LEVEL``: Chooses the log level, which controls the amount of console log
697   output compiled into the build. This should be one of the following:
698
699   ::
700
701       0  (LOG_LEVEL_NONE)
702       10 (LOG_LEVEL_ERROR)
703       20 (LOG_LEVEL_NOTICE)
704       30 (LOG_LEVEL_WARNING)
705       40 (LOG_LEVEL_INFO)
706       50 (LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE)
707
708   All log output up to and including the selected log level is compiled into
709   the build. The default value is 40 in debug builds and 20 in release builds.
710
711-  ``MEASURED_BOOT``: Boolean flag to include support for the Measured Boot
712   feature. This flag can be enabled with ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` in order to
713   provide trust that the code taking the measurements and recording them has
714   not been tampered with.
715
716   This option defaults to 0.
717
718-  ``MARCH_DIRECTIVE``: used to pass a -march option from the platform build
719   options to the compiler. An example usage:
720
721   .. code:: make
722
723      MARCH_DIRECTIVE := -march=armv8.5-a
724
725-  ``HARDEN_SLS``: used to pass -mharden-sls=all from the TF-A build
726   options to the compiler currently supporting only of the options.
727   GCC documentation:
728   https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/AArch64-Options.html#index-mharden-sls
729
730   An example usage:
731
732   .. code:: make
733
734      HARDEN_SLS := 1
735
736   This option defaults to 0.
737
738-  ``NON_TRUSTED_WORLD_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It
739   specifies a file that contains the Non-Trusted World private key in PEM
740   format or a PKCS11 URI. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, only a file is accepted and it
741   will be used to save the key.
742
743-  ``NS_BL2U``: Path to NS_BL2U image in the host file system. This image is
744   optional. It is only needed if the platform makefile specifies that it
745   is required in order to build the ``fwu_fip`` target.
746
747-  ``NS_TIMER_SWITCH``: Enable save and restore for non-secure timer register
748   contents upon world switch. It can take either 0 (don't save and restore) or
749   1 (do save and restore). 0 is the default. An SPD may set this to 1 if it
750   wants the timer registers to be saved and restored.
751
752-  ``OVERRIDE_LIBC``: This option allows platforms to override the default libc
753   for the BL image. It can be either 0 (include) or 1 (remove). The default
754   value is 0.
755
756-  ``PL011_GENERIC_UART``: Boolean option to indicate the PL011 driver that
757   the underlying hardware is not a full PL011 UART but a minimally compliant
758   generic UART, which is a subset of the PL011. The driver will not access
759   any register that is not part of the SBSA generic UART specification.
760   Default value is 0 (a full PL011 compliant UART is present).
761
762-  ``PLAT``: Choose a platform to build TF-A for. The chosen platform name
763   must be subdirectory of any depth under ``plat/``, and must contain a
764   platform makefile named ``platform.mk``. For example, to build TF-A for the
765   Arm Juno board, select PLAT=juno.
766
767-  ``PLATFORM_REPORT_CTX_MEM_USE``: Reports the context memory allocated for
768   each core as well as the global context. The data includes the memory used
769   by each world and each privileged exception level. This build option is
770   applicable only for ``ARCH=aarch64`` builds. The default value is 0.
771
772-  ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE``: This option enables booting a preloaded BL33 image
773   instead of the normal boot flow. When defined, it must specify the entry
774   point address for the preloaded BL33 image. This option is incompatible with
775   ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE``. If both are defined, ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE`` has priority
776   over ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE``.
777
778-  ``PRESERVE_DSU_PMU_REGS``: This options when enabled allows the platform to
779   save/restore the DynamIQ Shared Unit's(DSU) Performance Monitoring Unit(PMU)
780   registers when the cluster goes through a power cycle. This is disabled by
781   default and platforms that require this feature have to enable them.
782
783-  ``PROGRAMMABLE_RESET_ADDRESS``: This option indicates whether the reset
784   vector address can be programmed or is fixed on the platform. It can take
785   either 0 (fixed) or 1 (programmable). Default is 0. If the platform has a
786   programmable reset address, it is expected that a CPU will start executing
787   code directly at the right address, both on a cold and warm reset. In this
788   case, there is no need to identify the entrypoint on boot and the boot path
789   can be optimised. The ``plat_get_my_entrypoint()`` platform porting interface
790   does not need to be implemented in this case.
791
792-  ``PSCI_EXTENDED_STATE_ID``: As per PSCI1.0 Specification, there are 2 formats
793   possible for the PSCI power-state parameter: original and extended State-ID
794   formats. This flag if set to 1, configures the generic PSCI layer to use the
795   extended format. The default value of this flag is 0, which means by default
796   the original power-state format is used by the PSCI implementation. This flag
797   should be specified by the platform makefile and it governs the return value
798   of PSCI_FEATURES API for CPU_SUSPEND smc function id. When this option is
799   enabled on Arm platforms, the option ``ARM_RECOM_STATE_ID_ENC`` needs to be
800   set to 1 as well.
801
802-  ``PSCI_OS_INIT_MODE``: Boolean flag to enable support for optional PSCI
803   OS-initiated mode. This option defaults to 0.
804
805-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_RAS``: Boolean flag to enable Armv8.2 RAS features. RAS features
806   are an optional extension for pre-Armv8.2 CPUs, but are mandatory for Armv8.2
807   or later CPUs. This flag can take the values 0 or 1. The default value is 0.
808   NOTE: This flag enables use of IESB capability to reduce entry latency into
809   EL3 even when RAS error handling is not performed on the platform. Hence this
810   flag is recommended to be turned on Armv8.2 and later CPUs.
811
812-  ``RESET_TO_BL31``: Enable BL31 entrypoint as the CPU reset vector instead
813   of the BL1 entrypoint. It can take the value 0 (CPU reset to BL1
814   entrypoint) or 1 (CPU reset to BL31 entrypoint).
815   The default value is 0.
816
817-  ``RESET_TO_SP_MIN``: SP_MIN is the minimal AArch32 Secure Payload provided
818   in TF-A. This flag configures SP_MIN entrypoint as the CPU reset vector
819   instead of the BL1 entrypoint. It can take the value 0 (CPU reset to BL1
820   entrypoint) or 1 (CPU reset to SP_MIN entrypoint). The default value is 0.
821
822-  ``RME_GPT_BITLOCK_BLOCK``: This defines the block size (in number of 512MB
823-  blocks) covered by a single bit of the bitlock structure during RME GPT
824-  operations. The lower the block size, the better opportunity for
825-  parallelising GPT operations but at the cost of more bits being needed
826-  for the bitlock structure. This numeric parameter can take the values
827-  from 0 to 512 and must be a power of 2. The value of 0 is special and
828-  and it chooses a single spinlock for all GPT L1 table entries. Default
829-  value is 1 which corresponds to block size of 512MB per bit of bitlock
830-  structure.
831
832-  ``RME_GPT_MAX_BLOCK``: Numeric value in MB to define the maximum size of
833   supported contiguous blocks in GPT Library. This parameter can take the
834   values 0, 2, 32 and 512. Setting this value to 0 disables use of Contigious
835   descriptors. Default value is 2.
836
837-  ``ROT_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies a
838   file that contains the ROT private key in PEM format or a PKCS11 URI and
839   enforces public key hash generation. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, only a file is
840   accepted and it will be used to save the key.
841
842-  ``SAVE_KEYS``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It tells the
843   certificate generation tool to save the keys used to establish the Chain of
844   Trust. Allowed options are '0' or '1'. Default is '0' (do not save).
845
846-  ``SCP_BL2``: Path to SCP_BL2 image in the host file system. This image is optional.
847   If a SCP_BL2 image is present then this option must be passed for the ``fip``
848   target.
849
850-  ``SCP_BL2_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies a
851   file that contains the SCP_BL2 private key in PEM format or a PKCS11 URI.
852   If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, only a file is accepted and it will be used to save the key.
853
854-  ``SCP_BL2U``: Path to SCP_BL2U image in the host file system. This image is
855   optional. It is only needed if the platform makefile specifies that it
856   is required in order to build the ``fwu_fip`` target.
857
858-  ``SDEI_SUPPORT``: Setting this to ``1`` enables support for Software
859   Delegated Exception Interface to BL31 image. This defaults to ``0``.
860
861   When set to ``1``, the build option ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING`` must also be
862   set to ``1``.
863
864-  ``SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA``: Whether code and read-only data should be
865   isolated on separate memory pages. This is a trade-off between security and
866   memory usage. See "Isolating code and read-only data on separate memory
867   pages" section in :ref:`Firmware Design`. This flag is disabled by default
868   and affects all BL images.
869
870-  ``SEPARATE_NOBITS_REGION``: Setting this option to ``1`` allows the NOBITS
871   sections of BL31 (.bss, stacks, page tables, and coherent memory) to be
872   allocated in RAM discontiguous from the loaded firmware image. When set, the
873   platform is expected to provide definitions for ``BL31_NOBITS_BASE`` and
874   ``BL31_NOBITS_LIMIT``. When the option is ``0`` (the default), NOBITS
875   sections are placed in RAM immediately following the loaded firmware image.
876
877-  ``SEPARATE_BL2_NOLOAD_REGION``: Setting this option to ``1`` allows the
878   NOLOAD sections of BL2 (.bss, stacks, page tables) to be allocated in RAM
879   discontiguous from loaded firmware images. When set, the platform need to
880   provide definitions of ``BL2_NOLOAD_START`` and ``BL2_NOLOAD_LIMIT``. This
881   flag is disabled by default and NOLOAD sections are placed in RAM immediately
882   following the loaded firmware image.
883
884-  ``SMC_PCI_SUPPORT``: This option allows platforms to handle PCI configuration
885   access requests via a standard SMCCC defined in `DEN0115`_. When combined with
886   UEFI+ACPI this can provide a certain amount of OS forward compatibility
887   with newer platforms that aren't ECAM compliant.
888
889-  ``SPD``: Choose a Secure Payload Dispatcher component to be built into TF-A.
890   This build option is only valid if ``ARCH=aarch64``. The value should be
891   the path to the directory containing the SPD source, relative to
892   ``services/spd/``; the directory is expected to contain a makefile called
893   ``<spd-value>.mk``. The SPM Dispatcher standard service is located in
894   services/std_svc/spmd and enabled by ``SPD=spmd``. The SPM Dispatcher
895   cannot be enabled when the ``SPM_MM`` option is enabled.
896
897-  ``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT``: This option introduces an infinite loop in BL1. It can
898   take either 0 (no loop) or 1 (add a loop). 0 is the default. This loop stops
899   execution in BL1 just before handing over to BL31. At this point, all
900   firmware images have been loaded in memory, and the MMU and caches are
901   turned off. Refer to the "Debugging options" section for more details.
902
903-  ``SPMC_AT_EL3`` : This boolean option is used jointly with the SPM
904   Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``). When enabled (1) it indicates the SPMC
905   component runs at the EL3 exception level. The default value is ``0`` (
906   disabled). This configuration supports pre-Armv8.4 platforms (aka not
907   implementing the ``FEAT_SEL2`` extension).
908
909-  ``SPMC_AT_EL3_SEL0_SP`` : Boolean option to enable SEL0 SP load support when
910   ``SPMC_AT_EL3`` is enabled. The default value if ``0`` (disabled). This
911   option cannot be enabled (``1``) when (``SPMC_AT_EL3``) is disabled.
912
913-  ``SPMC_OPTEE`` : This boolean option is used jointly with the SPM
914   Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``) and with ``SPMD_SPM_AT_SEL2=0`` to
915   indicate that the SPMC at S-EL1 is OP-TEE and an OP-TEE specific loading
916   mechanism should be used.
917
918-  ``SPMD_SPM_AT_SEL2`` : This boolean option is used jointly with the SPM
919   Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``). When enabled (1) it indicates the SPMC
920   component runs at the S-EL2 exception level provided by the ``FEAT_SEL2``
921   extension. This is the default when enabling the SPM Dispatcher. When
922   disabled (0) it indicates the SPMC component runs at the S-EL1 execution
923   state or at EL3 if ``SPMC_AT_EL3`` is enabled. The latter configurations
924   support pre-Armv8.4 platforms (aka not implementing the ``FEAT_SEL2``
925   extension).
926
927-  ``SPM_MM`` : Boolean option to enable the Management Mode (MM)-based Secure
928   Partition Manager (SPM) implementation. The default value is ``0``
929   (disabled). This option cannot be enabled (``1``) when SPM Dispatcher is
930   enabled (``SPD=spmd``).
931
932-  ``SP_LAYOUT_FILE``: Platform provided path to JSON file containing the
933   description of secure partitions. The build system will parse this file and
934   package all secure partition blobs into the FIP. This file is not
935   necessarily part of TF-A tree. Only available when ``SPD=spmd``.
936
937-  ``SP_MIN_WITH_SECURE_FIQ``: Boolean flag to indicate the SP_MIN handles
938   secure interrupts (caught through the FIQ line). Platforms can enable
939   this directive if they need to handle such interruption. When enabled,
940   the FIQ are handled in monitor mode and non secure world is not allowed
941   to mask these events. Platforms that enable FIQ handling in SP_MIN shall
942   implement the api ``sp_min_plat_fiq_handler()``. The default value is 0.
943
944-  ``SVE_VECTOR_LEN``: SVE vector length to configure in ZCR_EL3.
945   Platforms can configure this if they need to lower the hardware
946   limit, for example due to asymmetric configuration or limitations of
947   software run at lower ELs. The default is the architectural maximum
948   of 2048 which should be suitable for most configurations, the
949   hardware will limit the effective VL to the maximum physically supported
950   VL.
951
952-  ``TRNG_SUPPORT``: Setting this to ``1`` enables support for True
953   Random Number Generator Interface to BL31 image. This defaults to ``0``.
954
955-  ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT``: Boolean flag to include support for the Trusted Board
956   Boot feature. When set to '1', BL1 and BL2 images include support to load
957   and verify the certificates and images in a FIP, and BL1 includes support
958   for the Firmware Update. The default value is '0'. Generation and inclusion
959   of certificates in the FIP and FWU_FIP depends upon the value of the
960   ``GENERATE_COT`` option.
961
962   .. warning::
963      This option depends on ``CREATE_KEYS`` to be enabled. If the keys
964      already exist in disk, they will be overwritten without further notice.
965
966-  ``TRUSTED_WORLD_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It
967   specifies a file that contains the Trusted World private key in PEM
968   format or a PKCS11 URI. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, only a file is accepted and
969   it will be used to save the key.
970
971-  ``TSP_INIT_ASYNC``: Choose BL32 initialization method as asynchronous or
972   synchronous, (see "Initializing a BL32 Image" section in
973   :ref:`Firmware Design`). It can take the value 0 (BL32 is initialized using
974   synchronous method) or 1 (BL32 is initialized using asynchronous method).
975   Default is 0.
976
977-  ``TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT``: A non zero value enables the interrupt
978   routing model which routes non-secure interrupts asynchronously from TSP
979   to EL3 causing immediate preemption of TSP. The EL3 is responsible
980   for saving and restoring the TSP context in this routing model. The
981   default routing model (when the value is 0) is to route non-secure
982   interrupts to TSP allowing it to save its context and hand over
983   synchronously to EL3 via an SMC.
984
985   .. note::
986      When ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING`` is ``1``, ``TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT``
987      must also be set to ``1``.
988
989-  ``TS_SP_FW_CONFIG``: DTC build flag to include Trusted Services (Crypto and
990   internal-trusted-storage) as SP in tb_fw_config device tree.
991
992-  ``TWED_DELAY``: Numeric value to be set in order to delay the trapping of
993   WFE instruction. ``ENABLE_FEAT_TWED`` build option must be enabled to set
994   this delay. It can take values in the range (0-15). Default value is ``0``
995   and based on this value, 2^(TWED_DELAY + 8) cycles will be delayed.
996   Platforms need to explicitly update this value based on their requirements.
997
998-  ``USE_ARM_LINK``: This flag determines whether to enable support for ARM
999   linker. When the ``LINKER`` build variable points to the armlink linker,
1000   this flag is enabled automatically. To enable support for armlink, platforms
1001   will have to provide a scatter file for the BL image. Currently, Tegra
1002   platforms use the armlink support to compile BL3-1 images.
1003
1004-  ``USE_COHERENT_MEM``: This flag determines whether to include the coherent
1005   memory region in the BL memory map or not (see "Use of Coherent memory in
1006   TF-A" section in :ref:`Firmware Design`). It can take the value 1
1007   (Coherent memory region is included) or 0 (Coherent memory region is
1008   excluded). Default is 1.
1009
1010-  ``ARM_IO_IN_DTB``: This flag determines whether to use IO based on the
1011   firmware configuration framework. This will move the io_policies into a
1012   configuration device tree, instead of static structure in the code base.
1013
1014-  ``COT_DESC_IN_DTB``: This flag determines whether to create COT descriptors
1015   at runtime using fconf. If this flag is enabled, COT descriptors are
1016   statically captured in tb_fw_config file in the form of device tree nodes
1017   and properties. Currently, COT descriptors used by BL2 are moved to the
1018   device tree and COT descriptors used by BL1 are retained in the code
1019   base statically.
1020
1021-  ``SDEI_IN_FCONF``: This flag determines whether to configure SDEI setup in
1022   runtime using firmware configuration framework. The platform specific SDEI
1023   shared and private events configuration is retrieved from device tree rather
1024   than static C structures at compile time. This is only supported if
1025   SDEI_SUPPORT build flag is enabled.
1026
1027-  ``SEC_INT_DESC_IN_FCONF``: This flag determines whether to configure Group 0
1028   and Group1 secure interrupts using the firmware configuration framework. The
1029   platform specific secure interrupt property descriptor is retrieved from
1030   device tree in runtime rather than depending on static C structure at compile
1031   time.
1032
1033-  ``USE_ROMLIB``: This flag determines whether library at ROM will be used.
1034   This feature creates a library of functions to be placed in ROM and thus
1035   reduces SRAM usage. Refer to :ref:`Library at ROM` for further details. Default
1036   is 0.
1037
1038-  ``V``: Verbose build. If assigned anything other than 0, the build commands
1039   are printed. Default is 0.
1040
1041-  ``VERSION_STRING``: String used in the log output for each TF-A image.
1042   Defaults to a string formed by concatenating the version number, build type
1043   and build string.
1044
1045-  ``W``: Warning level. Some compiler warning options of interest have been
1046   regrouped and put in the root Makefile. This flag can take the values 0 to 3,
1047   each level enabling more warning options. Default is 0.
1048
1049   This option is closely related to the ``E`` option, which enables
1050   ``-Werror``.
1051
1052   - ``W=0`` (default)
1053
1054     Enables a wide assortment of warnings, most notably ``-Wall`` and
1055     ``-Wextra``, as well as various bad practices and things that are likely to
1056     result in errors. Includes some compiler specific flags. No warnings are
1057     expected at this level for any build.
1058
1059   - ``W=1``
1060
1061     Enables warnings we want the generic build to include but are too time
1062     consuming to fix at the moment. It re-enables warnings taken out for
1063     ``W=0`` builds (a few of the ``-Wextra`` additions). This level is expected
1064     to eventually be merged into ``W=0``. Some warnings are expected on some
1065     builds, but new contributions should not introduce new ones.
1066
1067   - ``W=2`` (recommended)
1068
1069    Enables warnings we want the generic build to include but cannot be enabled
1070    due to external libraries. This level is expected to eventually be merged
1071    into ``W=0``. Lots of warnings are expected, primarily from external
1072    libraries like zlib and compiler-rt, but new controbutions should not
1073    introduce new ones.
1074
1075   - ``W=3``
1076
1077     Enables warnings that are informative but not necessary and generally too
1078     verbose and frequently ignored. A very large number of warnings are
1079     expected.
1080
1081   The exact set of warning flags depends on the compiler and TF-A warning
1082   level, however they are all succinctly set in the top-level Makefile. Please
1083   refer to the `GCC`_ or `Clang`_ documentation for more information on the
1084   individual flags.
1085
1086-  ``WARMBOOT_ENABLE_DCACHE_EARLY`` : Boolean option to enable D-cache early on
1087   the CPU after warm boot. This is applicable for platforms which do not
1088   require interconnect programming to enable cache coherency (eg: single
1089   cluster platforms). If this option is enabled, then warm boot path
1090   enables D-caches immediately after enabling MMU. This option defaults to 0.
1091
1092-  ``SUPPORT_STACK_MEMTAG``: This flag determines whether to enable memory
1093   tagging for stack or not. It accepts 2 values: ``yes`` and ``no``. The
1094   default value of this flag is ``no``. Note this option must be enabled only
1095   for ARM architecture greater than Armv8.5-A.
1096
1097-  ``ERRATA_SPECULATIVE_AT``: This flag determines whether to enable ``AT``
1098   speculative errata workaround or not. It accepts 2 values: ``1`` and ``0``.
1099   The default value of this flag is ``0``.
1100
1101   ``AT`` speculative errata workaround disables stage1 page table walk for
1102   lower ELs (EL1 and EL0) in EL3 so that ``AT`` speculative fetch at any point
1103   produces either the correct result or failure without TLB allocation.
1104
1105   This boolean option enables errata for all below CPUs.
1106
1107   +---------+--------------+-------------------------+
1108   | Errata  |      CPU     |     Workaround Define   |
1109   +=========+==============+=========================+
1110   | 1165522 |  Cortex-A76  |  ``ERRATA_A76_1165522`` |

1118   | 1530924 |  Cortex-A53  |  ``ERRATA_A53_1530924`` |
1119   +---------+--------------+-------------------------+
1120
1121   .. note::
1122      This option is enabled by build only if platform sets any of above defines
1123      mentioned in ’Workaround Define' column in the table.
1124      If this option is enabled for the EL3 software then EL2 software also must
1125      implement this workaround due to the behaviour of the errata mentioned
1126      in new SDEN document which will get published soon.
1127
1128- ``RAS_TRAP_NS_ERR_REC_ACCESS``: This flag enables/disables the SCR_EL3.TERR
1129  bit, to trap access to the RAS ERR and RAS ERX registers from lower ELs.
1130  This flag is disabled by default.
1131
1132- ``OPENSSL_DIR``: This option is used to provide the path to a directory on the
1133  host machine where a custom installation of OpenSSL is located, which is used
1134  to build the certificate generation, firmware encryption and FIP tools. If
1135  this option is not set, the default OS installation will be used.
1136
1137- ``USE_SP804_TIMER``: Use the SP804 timer instead of the Generic Timer for
1138  functions that wait for an arbitrary time length (udelay and mdelay). The
1139  default value is 0.
1140
1141- ``ENABLE_BRBE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable access to the branch record
1142  buffer registers from NS ELs when FEAT_BRBE is implemented. BRBE is an
1143  optional architectural feature for AArch64. This flag can take the values
1144  0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. The default is 0
1145  and it is automatically disabled when the target architecture is AArch32.
1146
1147- ``ENABLE_TRBE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable access of trace buffer
1148  control registers from NS ELs, NS-EL2 or NS-EL1(when NS-EL2 is implemented
1149  but unused) when FEAT_TRBE is implemented. TRBE is an optional architectural
1150  feature for AArch64. This flag can take the values  0 to 2, to align with the
1151  ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. The default is 0 and it is automatically
1152  disabled when the target architecture is AArch32.
1153
1154- ``ENABLE_SYS_REG_TRACE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable trace system
1155  registers access from NS ELs, NS-EL2 or NS-EL1 (when NS-EL2 is implemented
1156  but unused). This feature is available if trace unit such as ETMv4.x, and
1157  ETE(extending ETM feature) is implemented. This flag can take the values
1158  0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. The default is 0.
1159
1160- ``ENABLE_TRF_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable trace filter control registers
1161  access from NS ELs, NS-EL2 or NS-EL1 (when NS-EL2 is implemented but unused),
1162  if FEAT_TRF is implemented. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align
1163  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. This flag is disabled by default.
1164
1165- ``CONDITIONAL_CMO``: Boolean option to enable call to platform-defined routine
1166  ``plat_can_cmo`` which will return zero if cache management operations should
1167  be skipped and non-zero otherwise. By default, this option is disabled which
1168  means platform hook won't be checked and CMOs will always be performed when
1169  related functions are called.
1170
1171- ``ERRATA_ABI_SUPPORT``: Boolean option to enable support for Errata management
1172  firmware interface for the BL31 image. By default its disabled (``0``).
1173
1174- ``ERRATA_NON_ARM_INTERCONNECT``: Boolean option to enable support for the
1175  errata mitigation for platforms with a non-arm interconnect using the errata
1176  ABI. By default its disabled (``0``).
1177
1178- ``ENABLE_CONSOLE_GETC``: Boolean option to enable `getc()` feature in console
1179  driver(s). By default it is disabled (``0``) because it constitutes an attack
1180  vector into TF-A by potentially allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary data.
1181  This option should only be enabled on a need basis if there is a use case for
1182  reading characters from the console.
1183
1184GICv3 driver options
1185--------------------
1186
1187GICv3 driver files are included using directive:
1188
1189``include drivers/arm/gic/v3/gicv3.mk``
1190
1191The driver can be configured with the following options set in the platform
1192makefile:
1193
1194-  ``GICV3_SUPPORT_GIC600``: Add support for the GIC-600 variants of GICv3.
1195   Enabling this option will add runtime detection support for the
1196   GIC-600, so is safe to select even for a GIC500 implementation.
1197   This option defaults to 0.
1198
1199- ``GICV3_SUPPORT_GIC600AE_FMU``: Add support for the Fault Management Unit
1200   for GIC-600 AE. Enabling this option will introduce support to initialize
1201   the FMU. Platforms should call the init function during boot to enable the
1202   FMU and its safety mechanisms. This option defaults to 0.
1203
1204-  ``GICV3_IMPL_GIC600_MULTICHIP``: Selects GIC-600 variant with multichip
1205   functionality. This option defaults to 0
1206
1207-  ``GICV3_OVERRIDE_DISTIF_PWR_OPS``: Allows override of default implementation
1208   of ``arm_gicv3_distif_pre_save`` and ``arm_gicv3_distif_post_restore``
1209   functions. This is required for FVP platform which need to simulate GIC save
1210   and restore during SYSTEM_SUSPEND without powering down GIC. Default is 0.
1211
1212-  ``GIC_ENABLE_V4_EXTN`` : Enables GICv4 related changes in GICv3 driver.
1213   This option defaults to 0.
1214
1215-  ``GIC_EXT_INTID``: When set to ``1``, GICv3 driver will support extended
1216   PPI (1056-1119) and SPI (4096-5119) range. This option defaults to 0.
1217
1218Debugging options
1219-----------------
1220
1221To compile a debug version and make the build more verbose use
1222
1223.. code:: shell
1224
1225    make PLAT=<platform> DEBUG=1 V=1 all
1226
1227AArch64 GCC 11 uses DWARF version 5 debugging symbols by default. Some tools
1228(for example Arm-DS) might not support this and may need an older version of
1229DWARF symbols to be emitted by GCC. This can be achieved by using the
1230``-gdwarf-<version>`` flag, with the version being set to 2, 3, 4 or 5. Setting
1231the version to 4 is recommended for Arm-DS.
1232
1233When debugging logic problems it might also be useful to disable all compiler
1234optimizations by using ``-O0``.
1235
1236.. warning::
1237   Using ``-O0`` could cause output images to be larger and base addresses
1238   might need to be recalculated (see the **Memory layout on Arm development
1239   platforms** section in the :ref:`Firmware Design`).
1240
1241Extra debug options can be passed to the build system by setting ``CFLAGS`` or
1242``LDFLAGS``:
1243
1244.. code:: shell
1245
1246    CFLAGS='-O0 -gdwarf-2'                                     \
1247    make PLAT=<platform> DEBUG=1 V=1 all
1248
1249Note that using ``-Wl,`` style compilation driver options in ``CFLAGS`` will be
1250ignored as the linker is called directly.
1251
1252It is also possible to introduce an infinite loop to help in debugging the
1253post-BL2 phase of TF-A. This can be done by rebuilding BL1 with the
1254``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT=1`` build flag. Refer to the :ref:`build_options_common`
1255section. In this case, the developer may take control of the target using a
1256debugger when indicated by the console output. When using Arm-DS, the following
1257commands can be used:
1258
1259::
1260
1261    # Stop target execution
1262    interrupt
1263
1264    #
1265    # Prepare your debugging environment, e.g. set breakpoints
1266    #
1267
1268    # Jump over the debug loop
1269    set var $AARCH64::$Core::$PC = $AARCH64::$Core::$PC + 4
1270
1271    # Resume execution
1272    continue

1275
1276Experimental build options
1277---------------------------
1278
1279Common build options
1280~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1281
1282-  ``DICE_PROTECTION_ENVIRONMENT``: Boolean flag to specify the measured boot
1283   backend when ``MEASURED_BOOT`` is enabled. The default value is ``0``. When
1284   set to ``1`` then measurements and additional metadata collected during the
1285   measured boot process are sent to the DICE Protection Environment for storage
1286   and processing. A certificate chain, which represents the boot state of the
1287   device, can be queried from the DPE.
1288
1289-  ``DRTM_SUPPORT``: Boolean flag to enable support for Dynamic Root of Trust
1290   for Measurement (DRTM). This feature has trust dependency on BL31 for taking
1291   the measurements and recording them as per `PSA DRTM specification`_. For
1292   platforms which use BL2 to load/authenticate BL31 ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` can
1293   be used and for the platforms which use ``RESET_TO_BL31`` platform owners
1294   should have mechanism to authenticate BL31. This option defaults to 0.
1295
1296-  ``ENABLE_RME``: Numeric value to enable support for the ARMv9 Realm
1297   Management Extension. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with
1298   the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. Default value is 0.
1299
1300-  ``ENABLE_SME_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable Scalable Matrix Extension
1301   (SME), SVE, and FPU/SIMD for the non-secure world only. These features share
1302   registers so are enabled together. Using this option without
1303   ENABLE_SME_FOR_SWD=1 will cause SME, SVE, and FPU/SIMD instructions in secure
1304   world to trap to EL3. Requires ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS`` to be set as SME is a
1305   superset of SVE. SME is an optional architectural feature for AArch64.
1306   At this time, this build option cannot be used on systems that have
1307   SPD=spmd/SPM_MM and atempting to build with this option will fail.
1308   This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
1309   mechanism. Default is 0.
1310
1311-  ``ENABLE_SME2_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable Scalable Matrix Extension
1312   version 2 (SME2) for the non-secure world only. SME2 is an optional
1313   architectural feature for AArch64.
1314   This should be set along with ENABLE_SME_FOR_NS=1, if not, the default SME
1315   accesses will still be trapped. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to
1316   align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. Default is 0.
1317
1318-  ``ENABLE_SME_FOR_SWD``: Boolean option to enable the Scalable Matrix
1319   Extension for secure world. Used along with SVE and FPU/SIMD.
1320   ENABLE_SME_FOR_NS and ENABLE_SVE_FOR_SWD must also be set to use this.
1321   Default is 0.
1322
1323-  ``ENABLE_SPMD_LP`` : This boolean option is used jointly with the SPM
1324   Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``). When enabled (1) it indicates support
1325   for logical partitions in EL3, managed by the SPMD as defined in the
1326   FF-A v1.2 specification. This flag is disabled by default. This flag
1327   must not be used if ``SPMC_AT_EL3`` is enabled.
1328
1329-  ``FEATURE_DETECTION``: Boolean option to enable the architectural features
1330   verification mechanism. This is a debug feature that compares the
1331   architectural features enabled through the feature specific build flags
1332   (ENABLE_FEAT_xxx) with the features actually available on the CPU running,
1333   and reports any discrepancies.
1334   This flag will also enable errata ordering checking for ``DEBUG`` builds.
1335
1336   It is expected that this feature is only used for flexible platforms like
1337   software emulators, or for hardware platforms at bringup time, to verify
1338   that the configured feature set matches the CPU.
1339   The ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` macro is disabled by default.
1340
1341-  ``PSA_CRYPTO``: Boolean option for enabling MbedTLS PSA crypto APIs support.
1342   The platform will use PSA compliant Crypto APIs during authentication and
1343   image measurement process by enabling this option. It uses APIs defined as
1344   per the `PSA Crypto API specification`_. This feature is only supported if
1345   using MbedTLS 3.x version. It is disabled (``0``) by default.
1346
1347-  ``TRANSFER_LIST``: Setting this to ``1`` enables support for Firmware
1348   Handoff using Transfer List defined in `Firmware Handoff specification`_.
1349   This defaults to ``0``. Current implementation follows the Firmware Handoff
1350   specification v0.9.
1351
1352-  ``USE_DEBUGFS``: When set to 1 this option exposes a virtual filesystem
1353   interface through BL31 as a SiP SMC function.
1354   Default is disabled (0).
1355
1356Firmware update options
1357~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1358
1359-  ``PSA_FWU_SUPPORT``: Enable the firmware update mechanism as per the
1360   `PSA FW update specification`_. The default value is 0.
1361   PSA firmware update implementation has few limitations, such as:
1362
1363   -  BL2 is not part of the protocol-updatable images. If BL2 needs to
1364      be updated, then it should be done through another platform-defined
1365      mechanism.
1366
1367   -  It assumes the platform's hardware supports CRC32 instructions.
1368
1369-  ``NR_OF_FW_BANKS``: Define the number of firmware banks. This flag is used
1370   in defining the firmware update metadata structure. This flag is by default
1371   set to '2'.
1372
1373-  ``NR_OF_IMAGES_IN_FW_BANK``: Define the number of firmware images in each
1374   firmware bank. Each firmware bank must have the same number of images as per
1375   the `PSA FW update specification`_.
1376   This flag is used in defining the firmware update metadata structure. This
1377   flag is by default set to '1'.
1378
1379- ``PSA_FWU_METADATA_FW_STORE_DESC``: To be enabled when the FWU
1380   metadata contains image description. The default value is 1.
1381
1382   The version 2 of the FWU metadata allows for an opaque metadata
1383   structure where a platform can choose to not include the firmware
1384   store description in the metadata structure. This option indicates
1385   if the firmware store description, which provides information on
1386   the updatable images is part of the structure.
