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-  ``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. Default value is ``0``.

322   extension. 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. This feature is mandatory from v8.9 and is optional
338   from v8.8. This flag can take the values of 0 to 2, to align with the
339   ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
340
341-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_DIT``: Numeric value to enable ``FEAT_DIT`` (Data Independent
342   Timing) extension. It allows setting the ``DIT`` bit of PSTATE in EL3.
343   ``FEAT_DIT`` is a mandatory  architectural feature and is enabled from v8.4
344   and upwards. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the
345   ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
346
347-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_ECV``: Numeric value to enable support for the Enhanced Counter
348   Virtualization feature, allowing for access to the CNTPOFF_EL2 (Counter-timer
349   Physical Offset register) during EL2 to EL3 context save/restore operations.
350   Its a mandatory architectural feature and is enabled from v8.6 and upwards.
351   This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
352   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
353
354-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_FGT``: Numeric value to enable support for FGT (Fine Grain Traps)

364   Its an optional architectural feature and is available from v8.8 and upwards.
365   This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
366   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
367
368-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_HCX``: Numeric value to set the bit SCR_EL3.HXEn in EL3 to
369   allow access to HCRX_EL2 (extended hypervisor control register) from EL2 as
370   well as adding HCRX_EL2 to the EL2 context save/restore operations. Its a
371   mandatory architectural feature and is enabled from v8.7 and upwards. This
372   flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
373   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
374
375-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_MTE2``: Numeric value to enable Memory Tagging Extension2
376   if the platform wants to use this feature and MTE2 is enabled at ELX.
377   This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
378   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
379
380-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_PAN``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_PAN`` (Privileged
381   Access Never) extension. ``FEAT_PAN`` adds a bit to PSTATE, generating a
382   permission fault for any privileged data access from EL1/EL2 to virtual
383   memory address, accessible at EL0, provided (HCR_EL2.E2H=1). It is a
384   mandatory architectural feature and is enabled from v8.1 and upwards. This
385   flag can take values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
386   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
387
388-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_RNG``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_RNG`` extension.
389   ``FEAT_RNG`` is an optional feature available on Arm v8.5 onwards. This
390   flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
391   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
392
393-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_RNG_TRAP``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_RNG_TRAP``
394   extension. This feature is only supported in AArch64 state. This flag can
395   take values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism.
396   Default value is ``0``. ``FEAT_RNG_TRAP`` is an optional feature from
397   Armv8.5 onwards.
398
399-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_SB``: Boolean option to let the TF-A code use the ``FEAT_SB``
400   (Speculation Barrier) instruction ``FEAT_SB`` is an optional feature and
401   defaults to ``0`` for pre-Armv8.5 CPUs, but is mandatory for Armv8.5 or
402   later CPUs. It is enabled from v8.5 and upwards and if needed can be
403   overidden from platforms explicitly.
404
405-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_SEL2``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_SEL2`` (Secure EL2)
406   extension. ``FEAT_SEL2`` is a mandatory feature available on Arm v8.4.
407   This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
408   mechanism. Default is ``0``.
409
410-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_TWED``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_TWED`` (Delayed
411   trapping of WFE Instruction) extension. ``FEAT_TWED`` is a optional feature
412   available on Arm v8.6. This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with the
413   ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. Default is ``0``.
414
415    When ``ENABLE_FEAT_TWED`` is set to ``1``, WFE instruction trapping gets
416    delayed by the amount of value in ``TWED_DELAY``.
417
418-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_VHE``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_VHE`` (Virtualization
419   Host Extensions) extension. It allows access to CONTEXTIDR_EL2 register
420   during EL2 context save/restore operations.``FEAT_VHE`` is a mandatory
421   architectural feature and is enabled from v8.1 and upwards. It can take
422   values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism.
423   Default value is ``0``.
424
425-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_TCR2``: Numeric value to set the bit SCR_EL3.ENTCR2 in EL3 to
426   allow access to TCR2_EL2 (extended translation control) from EL2 as
427   well as adding TCR2_EL2 to the EL2 context save/restore operations. Its a
428   mandatory architectural feature and is enabled from v8.9 and upwards. This
429   flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
430   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
431
432-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_S2PIE``: Numeric value to enable support for FEAT_S2PIE
433   at EL2 and below, and context switch relevant registers.  This flag
434   can take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
435   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
436
437-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_S1PIE``: Numeric value to enable support for FEAT_S1PIE
438   at EL2 and below, and context switch relevant registers.  This flag
439   can take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
440   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
441
442-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_S2POE``: Numeric value to enable support for FEAT_S2POE
443   at EL2 and below, and context switch relevant registers.  This flag
444   can take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
445   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
446
447-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_S1POE``: Numeric value to enable support for FEAT_S1POE
448   at EL2 and below, and context switch relevant registers.  This flag
449   can take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
450   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
451
452-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_GCS``: Numeric value to set the bit SCR_EL3.GCSEn in EL3 to
453   allow use of Guarded Control Stack from EL2 as well as adding the GCS
454   registers to the EL2 context save/restore operations. This flag can take
455   the values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism.
456   Default value is ``0``.
457
458-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_THE``: Numeric value to enable support for FEAT_THE
459   (Translation Hardening Extension) at EL2 and below, setting the bit
460   SCR_EL3.RCWMASKEn in EL3 to allow access to RCWMASK_EL1 and RCWSMASK_EL1
461   registers and context switch them.
462   Its an optional architectural feature and is available from v8.8 and upwards.
463   This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
464   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
465
466-  ``ENABLE_LTO``: Boolean option to enable Link Time Optimization (LTO)
467   support in GCC for TF-A. This option is currently only supported for
468   AArch64. Default is 0.
469
470-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_MPAM``: Numeric value to enable lower ELs to use MPAM
471   feature. MPAM is an optional Armv8.4 extension that enables various memory
472   system components and resources to define partitions; software running at
473   various ELs can assign themselves to desired partition to control their
474   performance aspects.
475
476   This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
477   mechanism. When this option is set to ``1`` or ``2``, EL3 allows lower ELs to
478   access their own MPAM registers without trapping into EL3. This option
479   doesn't make use of partitioning in EL3, however. Platform initialisation
480   code should configure and use partitions in EL3 as required. This option
481   defaults to ``2`` since MPAM is enabled by default for NS world only.
482   The flag is automatically disabled when the target
483   architecture is AArch32.
484
485-  ``ENABLE_MPMM``: Boolean option to enable support for the Maximum Power
486   Mitigation Mechanism supported by certain Arm cores, which allows the SoC
487   firmware to detect and limit high activity events to assist in SoC processor
488   power domain dynamic power budgeting and limit the triggering of whole-rail
489   (i.e. clock chopping) responses to overcurrent conditions. Defaults to ``0``.
490
491-  ``ENABLE_MPMM_FCONF``: Enables configuration of MPMM through FCONF, which
492   allows platforms with cores supporting MPMM to describe them via the
493   ``HW_CONFIG`` device tree blob. Default is 0.
494
495-  ``ENABLE_PIE``: Boolean option to enable Position Independent Executable(PIE)
496   support within generic code in TF-A. This option is currently only supported
497   in BL2, BL31, and BL32 (TSP) for AARCH64 binaries, and
498   in BL32 (SP_min) for AARCH32. Default is 0.
499
500-  ``ENABLE_PMF``: Boolean option to enable support for optional Performance
501   Measurement Framework(PMF). Default is 0.
502
503-  ``ENABLE_PSCI_STAT``: Boolean option to enable support for optional PSCI
504   functions ``PSCI_STAT_RESIDENCY`` and ``PSCI_STAT_COUNT``. Default is 0.
505   In the absence of an alternate stat collection backend, ``ENABLE_PMF`` must
506   be enabled. If ``ENABLE_PMF`` is set, the residency statistics are tracked in
507   software.
508
509-  ``ENABLE_RUNTIME_INSTRUMENTATION``: Boolean option to enable runtime
510   instrumentation which injects timestamp collection points into TF-A to
511   allow runtime performance to be measured. Currently, only PSCI is
512   instrumented. Enabling this option enables the ``ENABLE_PMF`` build option
513   as well. Default is 0.
514
515-  ``ENABLE_SPE_FOR_NS`` : Numeric value to enable Statistical Profiling
516   extensions. This is an optional architectural feature for AArch64.
517   This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
518   mechanism. The default is 2 but is automatically disabled when the target
519   architecture is AArch32.
520
521-  ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable Scalable Vector Extension
522   (SVE) for the Non-secure world only. SVE is an optional architectural feature
523   for AArch64. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the
524   ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. At this time, this build option cannot be used on
525   systems that have SPM_MM enabled. The default value is 2.
526
527   Note that when SVE is enabled for the Non-secure world, access
528   to SVE, SIMD and floating-point functionality from the Secure world is
529   independently controlled by build option ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_SWD``. When enabling
530   ``CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS`` and ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS`` together, it is mandatory to
531   enable ``CTX_INCLUDE_SVE_REGS``. This is to avoid corruption of the Non-secure
532   world data in the Z-registers which are aliased by the SIMD and FP registers.
533
534-  ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_SWD``: Boolean option to enable SVE and FPU/SIMD functionality
535   for the Secure world. SVE is an optional architectural feature for AArch64.
536   The default is 0 and it is automatically disabled when the target architecture
537   is AArch32.
538
539   .. note::
540      This build flag requires ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS`` to be enabled. When enabling
541      ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_SWD``, a developer must carefully consider whether
542      ``CTX_INCLUDE_SVE_REGS`` is also needed.
543
544-  ``ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR``: String option to enable the stack protection
545   checks in GCC. Allowed values are "all", "strong", "default" and "none". The
546   default value is set to "none". "strong" is the recommended stack protection
547   level if this feature is desired. "none" disables the stack protection. For
548   all values other than "none", the ``plat_get_stack_protector_canary()``
549   platform hook needs to be implemented. The value is passed as the last
550   component of the option ``-fstack-protector-$ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR``.
551
552-  ``ENCRYPT_BL31``: Binary flag to enable encryption of BL31 firmware. This
553   flag depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag.
554
555-  ``ENCRYPT_BL32``: Binary flag to enable encryption of Secure BL32 payload.
556   This flag depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag.
557
558-  ``ENC_KEY``: A 32-byte (256-bit) symmetric key in hex string format. It could
559   either be SSK or BSSK depending on ``FW_ENC_STATUS`` flag. This value depends
560   on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag.
561
562-  ``ENC_NONCE``: A 12-byte (96-bit) encryption nonce or Initialization Vector
563   (IV) in hex string format. This value depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT``
564   build flag.
565
566-  ``ERROR_DEPRECATED``: This option decides whether to treat the usage of
567   deprecated platform APIs, helper functions or drivers within Trusted
568   Firmware as error. It can take the value 1 (flag the use of deprecated
569   APIs as error) or 0. The default is 0.
570
571-  ``ETHOSN_NPU_DRIVER``: boolean option to enable a SiP service that can
572   configure an Arm® Ethos™-N NPU. To use this service the target platform's
573   ``HW_CONFIG`` must include the device tree nodes for the NPU. Currently, only
574   the Arm Juno platform has this included in its ``HW_CONFIG`` and the platform
575   only loads the ``HW_CONFIG`` in AArch64 builds. Default is 0.
576
577-  ``ETHOSN_NPU_TZMP1``: boolean option to enable TZMP1 support for the
578   Arm® Ethos™-N NPU. Requires ``ETHOSN_NPU_DRIVER`` and
579   ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` to be enabled.
580
581-  ``ETHOSN_NPU_FW``: location of the NPU firmware binary
582   (```ethosn.bin```). This firmware image will be included in the FIP and
583   loaded at runtime.
584
585-  ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING``: When set to ``1``, enable handling of exceptions
586   targeted at EL3. When set ``0`` (default), no exceptions are expected or
587   handled at EL3, and a panic will result. The exception to this rule is when
588   ``SPMD_SPM_AT_SEL2`` is set to ``1``, in which case, only exceptions
589   occuring during normal world execution, are trapped to EL3. Any exception
590   trapped during secure world execution are trapped to the SPMC. This is
591   supported only for AArch64 builds.
592
593-  ``EVENT_LOG_LEVEL``: Chooses the log level to use for Measured Boot when
594   ``MEASURED_BOOT`` is enabled. For a list of valid values, see ``LOG_LEVEL``.
595   Default value is 40 (LOG_LEVEL_INFO).
596
597-  ``FAULT_INJECTION_SUPPORT``: ARMv8.4 extensions introduced support for fault
598   injection from lower ELs, and this build option enables lower ELs to use
599   Error Records accessed via System Registers to inject faults. This is
600   applicable only to AArch64 builds.
601
602   This feature is intended for testing purposes only, and is advisable to keep
603   disabled for production images.
604
605-  ``FIP_NAME``: This is an optional build option which specifies the FIP
606   filename for the ``fip`` target. Default is ``fip.bin``.
607
608-  ``FWU_FIP_NAME``: This is an optional build option which specifies the FWU
609   FIP filename for the ``fwu_fip`` target. Default is ``fwu_fip.bin``.
610
611-  ``FW_ENC_STATUS``: Top level firmware's encryption numeric flag, values:
612
613   ::
614
615     0: Encryption is done with Secret Symmetric Key (SSK) which is common
616        for a class of devices.
617     1: Encryption is done with Binding Secret Symmetric Key (BSSK) which is
618        unique per device.
619
620   This flag depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag.
621
622-  ``GENERATE_COT``: Boolean flag used to build and execute the ``cert_create``
623   tool to create certificates as per the Chain of Trust described in
624   :ref:`Trusted Board Boot`. The build system then calls ``fiptool`` to
625   include the certificates in the FIP and FWU_FIP. Default value is '0'.
626
627   Specify both ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1`` and ``GENERATE_COT=1`` to include support
628   for the Trusted Board Boot feature in the BL1 and BL2 images, to generate
629   the corresponding certificates, and to include those certificates in the
630   FIP and FWU_FIP.
631
632   Note that if ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=0`` and ``GENERATE_COT=1``, the BL1 and BL2
633   images will not include support for Trusted Board Boot. The FIP will still
634   include the corresponding certificates. This FIP can be used to verify the
635   Chain of Trust on the host machine through other mechanisms.
636
637   Note that if ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1`` and ``GENERATE_COT=0``, the BL1 and BL2
638   images will include support for Trusted Board Boot, but the FIP and FWU_FIP
639   will not include the corresponding certificates, causing a boot failure.
640
641-  ``GICV2_G0_FOR_EL3``: Unlike GICv3, the GICv2 architecture doesn't have
642   inherent support for specific EL3 type interrupts. Setting this build option
643   to ``1`` assumes GICv2 *Group 0* interrupts are expected to target EL3, both
644   by :ref:`platform abstraction layer<platform Interrupt Controller API>` and
645   :ref:`Interrupt Management Framework<Interrupt Management Framework>`.
646   This allows GICv2 platforms to enable features requiring EL3 interrupt type.
647   This also means that all GICv2 Group 0 interrupts are delivered to EL3, and
648   the Secure Payload interrupts needs to be synchronously handed over to Secure
649   EL1 for handling. The default value of this option is ``0``, which means the
650   Group 0 interrupts are assumed to be handled by Secure EL1.
651
652-  ``HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST_NS``: When set to ``1``, External Aborts and SError
653   Interrupts, resulting from errors in NS world, will be always trapped in
654   EL3 i.e. in BL31 at runtime. When set to ``0`` (default), these exceptions
655   will be trapped in the current exception level (or in EL1 if the current
656   exception level is EL0).
657
658-  ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY``: On most Arm systems to-date, platform-specific
659   software operations are required for CPUs to enter and exit coherency.
660   However, newer systems exist where CPUs' entry to and exit from coherency
661   is managed in hardware. Such systems require software to only initiate these
662   operations, and the rest is managed in hardware, minimizing active software
663   management. In such systems, this boolean option enables TF-A to carry out
664   build and run-time optimizations during boot and power management operations.
665   This option defaults to 0 and if it is enabled, then it implies
666   ``WARMBOOT_ENABLE_DCACHE_EARLY`` is also enabled.
667
668   If this flag is disabled while the platform which TF-A is compiled for
669   includes cores that manage coherency in hardware, then a compilation error is
670   generated. This is based on the fact that a system cannot have, at the same
671   time, cores that manage coherency in hardware and cores that don't. In other
672   words, a platform cannot have, at the same time, cores that require
673   ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY=1`` and cores that require
674   ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY=0``.
675
676   Note that, when ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY`` is enabled, version 2 of
677   translation library (xlat tables v2) must be used; version 1 of translation
678   library is not supported.
679
680-  ``IMPDEF_SYSREG_TRAP``: Numeric value to enable the handling traps for
681   implementation defined system register accesses from lower ELs. Default
682   value is ``0``.
683
684-  ``INVERTED_MEMMAP``: memmap tool print by default lower addresses at the
685   bottom, higher addresses at the top. This build flag can be set to '1' to
686   invert this behavior. Lower addresses will be printed at the top and higher
687   addresses at the bottom.
688
689-  ``KEY_ALG``: This build flag enables the user to select the algorithm to be
690   used for generating the PKCS keys and subsequent signing of the certificate.
691   It accepts 5 values: ``rsa``, ``rsa_1_5``, ``ecdsa``, ``ecdsa-brainpool-regular``
692   and ``ecdsa-brainpool-twisted``. The option ``rsa_1_5`` is the legacy PKCS#1
693   RSA 1.5 algorithm which is not TBBR compliant and is retained only for
694   compatibility. The default value of this flag is ``rsa`` which is the TBBR
695   compliant PKCS#1 RSA 2.1 scheme.
696
697-  ``KEY_SIZE``: This build flag enables the user to select the key size for
698   the algorithm specified by ``KEY_ALG``. The valid values for ``KEY_SIZE``
699   depend on the chosen algorithm and the cryptographic module.
700
701   +---------------------------+------------------------------------+
702   |         KEY_ALG           |        Possible key sizes          |
703   +===========================+====================================+
704   |           rsa             | 1024 , 2048 (default), 3072, 4096  |
705   +---------------------------+------------------------------------+
706   |          ecdsa            |         256 (default), 384         |
707   +---------------------------+------------------------------------+
708   |  ecdsa-brainpool-regular  |            unavailable             |
709   +---------------------------+------------------------------------+
710   |  ecdsa-brainpool-twisted  |            unavailable             |
711   +---------------------------+------------------------------------+
712
713-  ``HASH_ALG``: This build flag enables the user to select the secure hash
714   algorithm. It accepts 3 values: ``sha256``, ``sha384`` and ``sha512``.
715   The default value of this flag is ``sha256``.
716
717-  ``LDFLAGS``: Extra user options appended to the linkers' command line in
718   addition to the one set by the build system.
719
720-  ``LOG_LEVEL``: Chooses the log level, which controls the amount of console log
721   output compiled into the build. This should be one of the following:
722
723   ::
724
725       0  (LOG_LEVEL_NONE)
726       10 (LOG_LEVEL_ERROR)
727       20 (LOG_LEVEL_NOTICE)
728       30 (LOG_LEVEL_WARNING)
729       40 (LOG_LEVEL_INFO)
730       50 (LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE)
731
732   All log output up to and including the selected log level is compiled into
733   the build. The default value is 40 in debug builds and 20 in release builds.
734
735-  ``MEASURED_BOOT``: Boolean flag to include support for the Measured Boot
736   feature. This flag can be enabled with ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` in order to
737   provide trust that the code taking the measurements and recording them has
738   not been tampered with.
739
740   This option defaults to 0.
741
742-  ``MARCH_DIRECTIVE``: used to pass a -march option from the platform build
743   options to the compiler. An example usage:
744
745   .. code:: make
746
747      MARCH_DIRECTIVE := -march=armv8.5-a
748
749-  ``HARDEN_SLS``: used to pass -mharden-sls=all from the TF-A build
750   options to the compiler currently supporting only of the options.
751   GCC documentation:
752   https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/AArch64-Options.html#index-mharden-sls
753
754   An example usage:
755
756   .. code:: make
757
758      HARDEN_SLS := 1
759
760   This option defaults to 0.
761
762-  ``NON_TRUSTED_WORLD_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It
763   specifies a file that contains the Non-Trusted World private key in PEM
764   format or a PKCS11 URI. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, only a file is accepted and it
765   will be used to save the key.
766
767-  ``NS_BL2U``: Path to NS_BL2U image in the host file system. This image is
768   optional. It is only needed if the platform makefile specifies that it
769   is required in order to build the ``fwu_fip`` target.
770
771-  ``NS_TIMER_SWITCH``: Enable save and restore for non-secure timer register
772   contents upon world switch. It can take either 0 (don't save and restore) or
773   1 (do save and restore). 0 is the default. An SPD may set this to 1 if it
774   wants the timer registers to be saved and restored.
775
776-  ``OVERRIDE_LIBC``: This option allows platforms to override the default libc
777   for the BL image. It can be either 0 (include) or 1 (remove). The default
778   value is 0.
779
780-  ``PL011_GENERIC_UART``: Boolean option to indicate the PL011 driver that
781   the underlying hardware is not a full PL011 UART but a minimally compliant
782   generic UART, which is a subset of the PL011. The driver will not access
783   any register that is not part of the SBSA generic UART specification.
784   Default value is 0 (a full PL011 compliant UART is present).
785
786-  ``PLAT``: Choose a platform to build TF-A for. The chosen platform name
787   must be subdirectory of any depth under ``plat/``, and must contain a
788   platform makefile named ``platform.mk``. For example, to build TF-A for the
789   Arm Juno board, select PLAT=juno.
790
791-  ``PLATFORM_REPORT_CTX_MEM_USE``: Reports the context memory allocated for
792   each core as well as the global context. The data includes the memory used
793   by each world and each privileged exception level. This build option is
794   applicable only for ``ARCH=aarch64`` builds. The default value is 0.
795
796-  ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE``: This option enables booting a preloaded BL33 image
797   instead of the normal boot flow. When defined, it must specify the entry
798   point address for the preloaded BL33 image. This option is incompatible with
799   ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE``. If both are defined, ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE`` has priority
800   over ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE``.
801
802-  ``PRESERVE_DSU_PMU_REGS``: This options when enabled allows the platform to
803   save/restore the DynamIQ Shared Unit's(DSU) Performance Monitoring Unit(PMU)
804   registers when the cluster goes through a power cycle. This is disabled by
805   default and platforms that require this feature have to enable them.
806
807-  ``PROGRAMMABLE_RESET_ADDRESS``: This option indicates whether the reset
808   vector address can be programmed or is fixed on the platform. It can take
809   either 0 (fixed) or 1 (programmable). Default is 0. If the platform has a
810   programmable reset address, it is expected that a CPU will start executing
811   code directly at the right address, both on a cold and warm reset. In this
812   case, there is no need to identify the entrypoint on boot and the boot path
813   can be optimised. The ``plat_get_my_entrypoint()`` platform porting interface
814   does not need to be implemented in this case.
815
816-  ``PSCI_EXTENDED_STATE_ID``: As per PSCI1.0 Specification, there are 2 formats
817   possible for the PSCI power-state parameter: original and extended State-ID
818   formats. This flag if set to 1, configures the generic PSCI layer to use the
819   extended format. The default value of this flag is 0, which means by default
820   the original power-state format is used by the PSCI implementation. This flag
821   should be specified by the platform makefile and it governs the return value
822   of PSCI_FEATURES API for CPU_SUSPEND smc function id. When this option is
823   enabled on Arm platforms, the option ``ARM_RECOM_STATE_ID_ENC`` needs to be
824   set to 1 as well.
825
826-  ``PSCI_OS_INIT_MODE``: Boolean flag to enable support for optional PSCI
827   OS-initiated mode. This option defaults to 0.
828
829-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_RAS``: Boolean flag to enable Armv8.2 RAS features. RAS features
830   are an optional extension for pre-Armv8.2 CPUs, but are mandatory for Armv8.2
831   or later CPUs. This flag can take the values 0 or 1. The default value is 0.
832   NOTE: This flag enables use of IESB capability to reduce entry latency into
833   EL3 even when RAS error handling is not performed on the platform. Hence this
834   flag is recommended to be turned on Armv8.2 and later CPUs.
835
836-  ``RESET_TO_BL31``: Enable BL31 entrypoint as the CPU reset vector instead
837   of the BL1 entrypoint. It can take the value 0 (CPU reset to BL1
838   entrypoint) or 1 (CPU reset to BL31 entrypoint).
839   The default value is 0.
840
841-  ``RESET_TO_SP_MIN``: SP_MIN is the minimal AArch32 Secure Payload provided
842   in TF-A. This flag configures SP_MIN entrypoint as the CPU reset vector
843   instead of the BL1 entrypoint. It can take the value 0 (CPU reset to BL1
844   entrypoint) or 1 (CPU reset to SP_MIN entrypoint). The default value is 0.
845
846-  ``RME_GPT_BITLOCK_BLOCK``: This defines the block size (in number of 512MB
847-  blocks) covered by a single bit of the bitlock structure during RME GPT
848-  operations. The lower the block size, the better opportunity for
849-  parallelising GPT operations but at the cost of more bits being needed
850-  for the bitlock structure. This numeric parameter can take the values
851-  from 0 to 512 and must be a power of 2. The value of 0 is special and
852-  and it chooses a single spinlock for all GPT L1 table entries. Default
853-  value is 1 which corresponds to block size of 512MB per bit of bitlock
854-  structure.
855
856-  ``RME_GPT_MAX_BLOCK``: Numeric value in MB to define the maximum size of
857   supported contiguous blocks in GPT Library. This parameter can take the
858   values 0, 2, 32 and 512. Setting this value to 0 disables use of Contigious
859   descriptors. Default value is 512.
860
861-  ``ROT_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies a
862   file that contains the ROT private key in PEM format or a PKCS11 URI and
863   enforces public key hash generation. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, only a file is
864   accepted and it will be used to save the key.
865
866-  ``SAVE_KEYS``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It tells the
867   certificate generation tool to save the keys used to establish the Chain of
868   Trust. Allowed options are '0' or '1'. Default is '0' (do not save).
869
870-  ``SCP_BL2``: Path to SCP_BL2 image in the host file system. This image is optional.
871   If a SCP_BL2 image is present then this option must be passed for the ``fip``
872   target.
873
874-  ``SCP_BL2_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies a
875   file that contains the SCP_BL2 private key in PEM format or a PKCS11 URI.
876   If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, only a file is accepted and it will be used to save the key.
877
878-  ``SCP_BL2U``: Path to SCP_BL2U image in the host file system. This image is
879   optional. It is only needed if the platform makefile specifies that it
880   is required in order to build the ``fwu_fip`` target.
881
882-  ``SDEI_SUPPORT``: Setting this to ``1`` enables support for Software
883   Delegated Exception Interface to BL31 image. This defaults to ``0``.
884
885   When set to ``1``, the build option ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING`` must also be
886   set to ``1``.
887
888-  ``SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA``: Whether code and read-only data should be
889   isolated on separate memory pages. This is a trade-off between security and
890   memory usage. See "Isolating code and read-only data on separate memory
891   pages" section in :ref:`Firmware Design`. This flag is disabled by default
892   and affects all BL images.
893
894-  ``SEPARATE_NOBITS_REGION``: Setting this option to ``1`` allows the NOBITS
895   sections of BL31 (.bss, stacks, page tables, and coherent memory) to be
896   allocated in RAM discontiguous from the loaded firmware image. When set, the
897   platform is expected to provide definitions for ``BL31_NOBITS_BASE`` and
898   ``BL31_NOBITS_LIMIT``. When the option is ``0`` (the default), NOBITS
899   sections are placed in RAM immediately following the loaded firmware image.
900
901-  ``SEPARATE_BL2_NOLOAD_REGION``: Setting this option to ``1`` allows the
902   NOLOAD sections of BL2 (.bss, stacks, page tables) to be allocated in RAM
903   discontiguous from loaded firmware images. When set, the platform need to
904   provide definitions of ``BL2_NOLOAD_START`` and ``BL2_NOLOAD_LIMIT``. This
905   flag is disabled by default and NOLOAD sections are placed in RAM immediately
906   following the loaded firmware image.
907
908-  ``SEPARATE_SIMD_SECTION``: Setting this option to ``1`` allows the SIMD context
909    data structures to be put in a dedicated memory region as decided by platform
910    integrator. Default value is ``0`` which means the SIMD context is put in BSS
911    section of EL3 firmware.
912
913-  ``SMC_PCI_SUPPORT``: This option allows platforms to handle PCI configuration
914   access requests via a standard SMCCC defined in `DEN0115`_. When combined with
915   UEFI+ACPI this can provide a certain amount of OS forward compatibility
916   with newer platforms that aren't ECAM compliant.
917
918-  ``SPD``: Choose a Secure Payload Dispatcher component to be built into TF-A.
919   This build option is only valid if ``ARCH=aarch64``. The value should be
920   the path to the directory containing the SPD source, relative to
921   ``services/spd/``; the directory is expected to contain a makefile called
922   ``<spd-value>.mk``. The SPM Dispatcher standard service is located in
923   services/std_svc/spmd and enabled by ``SPD=spmd``. The SPM Dispatcher
924   cannot be enabled when the ``SPM_MM`` option is enabled.
925
926-  ``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT``: This option introduces an infinite loop in BL1. It can
927   take either 0 (no loop) or 1 (add a loop). 0 is the default. This loop stops
928   execution in BL1 just before handing over to BL31. At this point, all
929   firmware images have been loaded in memory, and the MMU and caches are
930   turned off. Refer to the "Debugging options" section for more details.
931
932-  ``SPMC_AT_EL3`` : This boolean option is used jointly with the SPM
933   Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``). When enabled (1) it indicates the SPMC
934   component runs at the EL3 exception level. The default value is ``0`` (
935   disabled). This configuration supports pre-Armv8.4 platforms (aka not
936   implementing the ``FEAT_SEL2`` extension).
937
938-  ``SPMC_AT_EL3_SEL0_SP`` : Boolean option to enable SEL0 SP load support when
939   ``SPMC_AT_EL3`` is enabled. The default value if ``0`` (disabled). This
940   option cannot be enabled (``1``) when (``SPMC_AT_EL3``) is disabled.
941
942-  ``SPMC_OPTEE`` : This boolean option is used jointly with the SPM
943   Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``) and with ``SPMD_SPM_AT_SEL2=0`` to
944   indicate that the SPMC at S-EL1 is OP-TEE and an OP-TEE specific loading
945   mechanism should be used.
946
947-  ``SPMD_SPM_AT_SEL2`` : This boolean option is used jointly with the SPM
948   Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``). When enabled (1) it indicates the SPMC
949   component runs at the S-EL2 exception level provided by the ``FEAT_SEL2``
950   extension. This is the default when enabling the SPM Dispatcher. When
951   disabled (0) it indicates the SPMC component runs at the S-EL1 execution
952   state or at EL3 if ``SPMC_AT_EL3`` is enabled. The latter configurations
953   support pre-Armv8.4 platforms (aka not implementing the ``FEAT_SEL2``
954   extension).
955
956-  ``SPM_MM`` : Boolean option to enable the Management Mode (MM)-based Secure
957   Partition Manager (SPM) implementation. The default value is ``0``
958   (disabled). This option cannot be enabled (``1``) when SPM Dispatcher is
959   enabled (``SPD=spmd``).
960
961-  ``SP_LAYOUT_FILE``: Platform provided path to JSON file containing the
962   description of secure partitions. The build system will parse this file and
963   package all secure partition blobs into the FIP. This file is not
964   necessarily part of TF-A tree. Only available when ``SPD=spmd``.
965
966-  ``SP_MIN_WITH_SECURE_FIQ``: Boolean flag to indicate the SP_MIN handles
967   secure interrupts (caught through the FIQ line). Platforms can enable
968   this directive if they need to handle such interruption. When enabled,
969   the FIQ are handled in monitor mode and non secure world is not allowed
970   to mask these events. Platforms that enable FIQ handling in SP_MIN shall
971   implement the api ``sp_min_plat_fiq_handler()``. The default value is 0.
972
973-  ``SVE_VECTOR_LEN``: SVE vector length to configure in ZCR_EL3.
974   Platforms can configure this if they need to lower the hardware
975   limit, for example due to asymmetric configuration or limitations of
976   software run at lower ELs. The default is the architectural maximum
977   of 2048 which should be suitable for most configurations, the
978   hardware will limit the effective VL to the maximum physically supported
979   VL.
980
981-  ``TRNG_SUPPORT``: Setting this to ``1`` enables support for True
982   Random Number Generator Interface to BL31 image. This defaults to ``0``.
983
984-  ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT``: Boolean flag to include support for the Trusted Board
985   Boot feature. When set to '1', BL1 and BL2 images include support to load
986   and verify the certificates and images in a FIP, and BL1 includes support
987   for the Firmware Update. The default value is '0'. Generation and inclusion
988   of certificates in the FIP and FWU_FIP depends upon the value of the
989   ``GENERATE_COT`` option.
990
991   .. warning::
992      This option depends on ``CREATE_KEYS`` to be enabled. If the keys
993      already exist in disk, they will be overwritten without further notice.
994
995-  ``TRUSTED_WORLD_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It
996   specifies a file that contains the Trusted World private key in PEM
997   format or a PKCS11 URI. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, only a file is accepted and
998   it will be used to save the key.
999
1000-  ``TSP_INIT_ASYNC``: Choose BL32 initialization method as asynchronous or
1001   synchronous, (see "Initializing a BL32 Image" section in
1002   :ref:`Firmware Design`). It can take the value 0 (BL32 is initialized using
1003   synchronous method) or 1 (BL32 is initialized using asynchronous method).
1004   Default is 0.
1005
1006-  ``TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT``: A non zero value enables the interrupt
1007   routing model which routes non-secure interrupts asynchronously from TSP
1008   to EL3 causing immediate preemption of TSP. The EL3 is responsible
1009   for saving and restoring the TSP context in this routing model. The
1010   default routing model (when the value is 0) is to route non-secure
1011   interrupts to TSP allowing it to save its context and hand over
1012   synchronously to EL3 via an SMC.
1013
1014   .. note::
1015      When ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING`` is ``1``, ``TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT``
1016      must also be set to ``1``.
1017
1018-  ``TS_SP_FW_CONFIG``: DTC build flag to include Trusted Services (Crypto and
1019   internal-trusted-storage) as SP in tb_fw_config device tree.
1020
1021-  ``TWED_DELAY``: Numeric value to be set in order to delay the trapping of
1022   WFE instruction. ``ENABLE_FEAT_TWED`` build option must be enabled to set
1023   this delay. It can take values in the range (0-15). Default value is ``0``
1024   and based on this value, 2^(TWED_DELAY + 8) cycles will be delayed.
1025   Platforms need to explicitly update this value based on their requirements.
1026
1027-  ``USE_ARM_LINK``: This flag determines whether to enable support for ARM
1028   linker. When the ``LINKER`` build variable points to the armlink linker,
1029   this flag is enabled automatically. To enable support for armlink, platforms
1030   will have to provide a scatter file for the BL image. Currently, Tegra
1031   platforms use the armlink support to compile BL3-1 images.
1032
1033-  ``USE_COHERENT_MEM``: This flag determines whether to include the coherent
1034   memory region in the BL memory map or not (see "Use of Coherent memory in
1035   TF-A" section in :ref:`Firmware Design`). It can take the value 1
1036   (Coherent memory region is included) or 0 (Coherent memory region is
1037   excluded). Default is 1.
1038
1039-  ``ARM_IO_IN_DTB``: This flag determines whether to use IO based on the
1040   firmware configuration framework. This will move the io_policies into a
1041   configuration device tree, instead of static structure in the code base.
1042
1043-  ``COT_DESC_IN_DTB``: This flag determines whether to create COT descriptors
1044   at runtime using fconf. If this flag is enabled, COT descriptors are
1045   statically captured in tb_fw_config file in the form of device tree nodes
1046   and properties. Currently, COT descriptors used by BL2 are moved to the
1047   device tree and COT descriptors used by BL1 are retained in the code
1048   base statically.
1049
1050-  ``SDEI_IN_FCONF``: This flag determines whether to configure SDEI setup in
1051   runtime using firmware configuration framework. The platform specific SDEI
1052   shared and private events configuration is retrieved from device tree rather
1053   than static C structures at compile time. This is only supported if
1054   SDEI_SUPPORT build flag is enabled.
1055
1056-  ``SEC_INT_DESC_IN_FCONF``: This flag determines whether to configure Group 0
1057   and Group1 secure interrupts using the firmware configuration framework. The
1058   platform specific secure interrupt property descriptor is retrieved from
1059   device tree in runtime rather than depending on static C structure at compile
1060   time.
1061
1062-  ``USE_ROMLIB``: This flag determines whether library at ROM will be used.
1063   This feature creates a library of functions to be placed in ROM and thus
1064   reduces SRAM usage. Refer to :ref:`Library at ROM` for further details. Default
1065   is 0.
1066
1067-  ``V``: Verbose build. If assigned anything other than 0, the build commands
1068   are printed. Default is 0.
1069
1070-  ``VERSION_STRING``: String used in the log output for each TF-A image.
1071   Defaults to a string formed by concatenating the version number, build type
1072   and build string.
1073
1074-  ``W``: Warning level. Some compiler warning options of interest have been
1075   regrouped and put in the root Makefile. This flag can take the values 0 to 3,
1076   each level enabling more warning options. Default is 0.
1077
1078   This option is closely related to the ``E`` option, which enables
1079   ``-Werror``.
1080
1081   - ``W=0`` (default)
1082
1083     Enables a wide assortment of warnings, most notably ``-Wall`` and
1084     ``-Wextra``, as well as various bad practices and things that are likely to
1085     result in errors. Includes some compiler specific flags. No warnings are
1086     expected at this level for any build.
1087
1088   - ``W=1``
1089
1090     Enables warnings we want the generic build to include but are too time
1091     consuming to fix at the moment. It re-enables warnings taken out for
1092     ``W=0`` builds (a few of the ``-Wextra`` additions). This level is expected
1093     to eventually be merged into ``W=0``. Some warnings are expected on some
1094     builds, but new contributions should not introduce new ones.
1095
1096   - ``W=2`` (recommended)
1097
1098    Enables warnings we want the generic build to include but cannot be enabled
1099    due to external libraries. This level is expected to eventually be merged
1100    into ``W=0``. Lots of warnings are expected, primarily from external
1101    libraries like zlib and compiler-rt, but new controbutions should not
1102    introduce new ones.
1103
1104   - ``W=3``
1105
1106     Enables warnings that are informative but not necessary and generally too
1107     verbose and frequently ignored. A very large number of warnings are
1108     expected.
1109
1110   The exact set of warning flags depends on the compiler and TF-A warning
1111   level, however they are all succinctly set in the top-level Makefile. Please
1112   refer to the `GCC`_ or `Clang`_ documentation for more information on the
1113   individual flags.
1114
1115-  ``WARMBOOT_ENABLE_DCACHE_EARLY`` : Boolean option to enable D-cache early on
1116   the CPU after warm boot. This is applicable for platforms which do not
1117   require interconnect programming to enable cache coherency (eg: single
1118   cluster platforms). If this option is enabled, then warm boot path
1119   enables D-caches immediately after enabling MMU. This option defaults to 0.
1120
1121-  ``SUPPORT_STACK_MEMTAG``: This flag determines whether to enable memory
1122   tagging for stack or not. It accepts 2 values: ``yes`` and ``no``. The
1123   default value of this flag is ``no``. Note this option must be enabled only
1124   for ARM architecture greater than Armv8.5-A.
1125
1126-  ``ERRATA_SPECULATIVE_AT``: This flag determines whether to enable ``AT``
1127   speculative errata workaround or not. It accepts 2 values: ``1`` and ``0``.
1128   The default value of this flag is ``0``.
1129
1130   ``AT`` speculative errata workaround disables stage1 page table walk for
1131   lower ELs (EL1 and EL0) in EL3 so that ``AT`` speculative fetch at any point
1132   produces either the correct result or failure without TLB allocation.
1133
1134   This boolean option enables errata for all below CPUs.
1135
1136   +---------+--------------+-------------------------+
1137   | Errata  |      CPU     |     Workaround Define   |
1138   +=========+==============+=========================+
1139   | 1165522 |  Cortex-A76  |  ``ERRATA_A76_1165522`` |

1148   +---------+--------------+-------------------------+
1149
1150   .. note::
1151      This option is enabled by build only if platform sets any of above defines
1152      mentioned in ’Workaround Define' column in the table.
1153      If this option is enabled for the EL3 software then EL2 software also must
1154      implement this workaround due to the behaviour of the errata mentioned
1155      in new SDEN document which will get published soon.
1156
1157- ``RAS_TRAP_NS_ERR_REC_ACCESS``: This flag enables/disables the SCR_EL3.TERR
1158  bit, to trap access to the RAS ERR and RAS ERX registers from lower ELs.
1159  This flag is disabled by default.
1160
1161- ``OPENSSL_DIR``: This option is used to provide the path to a directory on the
1162  host machine where a custom installation of OpenSSL is located, which is used
1163  to build the certificate generation, firmware encryption and FIP tools. If
1164  this option is not set, the default OS installation will be used.
1165
1166- ``USE_SP804_TIMER``: Use the SP804 timer instead of the Generic Timer for
1167  functions that wait for an arbitrary time length (udelay and mdelay). The
1168  default value is 0.
1169
1170- ``ENABLE_BRBE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable access to the branch record
1171  buffer registers from NS ELs when FEAT_BRBE is implemented. BRBE is an
1172  optional architectural feature for AArch64. This flag can take the values
1173  0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. The default is 0
1174  and it is automatically disabled when the target architecture is AArch32.
1175
1176- ``ENABLE_TRBE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable access of trace buffer
1177  control registers from NS ELs, NS-EL2 or NS-EL1(when NS-EL2 is implemented
1178  but unused) when FEAT_TRBE is implemented. TRBE is an optional architectural
1179  feature for AArch64. This flag can take the values  0 to 2, to align with the
1180  ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. The default is 0 and it is automatically
1181  disabled when the target architecture is AArch32.
1182
1183- ``ENABLE_SYS_REG_TRACE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable trace system
1184  registers access from NS ELs, NS-EL2 or NS-EL1 (when NS-EL2 is implemented
1185  but unused). This feature is available if trace unit such as ETMv4.x, and
1186  ETE(extending ETM feature) is implemented. This flag can take the values
1187  0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. The default is 0.
1188
1189- ``ENABLE_TRF_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable trace filter control registers
1190  access from NS ELs, NS-EL2 or NS-EL1 (when NS-EL2 is implemented but unused),
1191  if FEAT_TRF is implemented. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align
1192  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. This flag is disabled by default.
1193
1194- ``CONDITIONAL_CMO``: Boolean option to enable call to platform-defined routine
1195  ``plat_can_cmo`` which will return zero if cache management operations should
1196  be skipped and non-zero otherwise. By default, this option is disabled which
1197  means platform hook won't be checked and CMOs will always be performed when
1198  related functions are called.
1199
1200- ``ERRATA_ABI_SUPPORT``: Boolean option to enable support for Errata management
1201  firmware interface for the BL31 image. By default its disabled (``0``).
1202
1203- ``ERRATA_NON_ARM_INTERCONNECT``: Boolean option to enable support for the
1204  errata mitigation for platforms with a non-arm interconnect using the errata
1205  ABI. By default its disabled (``0``).
1206
1207- ``ENABLE_CONSOLE_GETC``: Boolean option to enable `getc()` feature in console
1208  driver(s). By default it is disabled (``0``) because it constitutes an attack
1209  vector into TF-A by potentially allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary data.
1210  This option should only be enabled on a need basis if there is a use case for
1211  reading characters from the console.
1212
1213GICv3 driver options
1214--------------------
1215
1216GICv3 driver files are included using directive:
1217
1218``include drivers/arm/gic/v3/gicv3.mk``
1219
1220The driver can be configured with the following options set in the platform
1221makefile:
1222
1223-  ``GICV3_SUPPORT_GIC600``: Add support for the GIC-600 variants of GICv3.
1224   Enabling this option will add runtime detection support for the
1225   GIC-600, so is safe to select even for a GIC500 implementation.
1226   This option defaults to 0.
1227
1228- ``GICV3_SUPPORT_GIC600AE_FMU``: Add support for the Fault Management Unit
1229   for GIC-600 AE. Enabling this option will introduce support to initialize
1230   the FMU. Platforms should call the init function during boot to enable the
1231   FMU and its safety mechanisms. This option defaults to 0.
1232
1233-  ``GICV3_IMPL_GIC600_MULTICHIP``: Selects GIC-600 variant with multichip
1234   functionality. This option defaults to 0
1235
1236-  ``GICV3_OVERRIDE_DISTIF_PWR_OPS``: Allows override of default implementation
1237   of ``arm_gicv3_distif_pre_save`` and ``arm_gicv3_distif_post_restore``
1238   functions. This is required for FVP platform which need to simulate GIC save
1239   and restore during SYSTEM_SUSPEND without powering down GIC. Default is 0.
1240
1241-  ``GIC_ENABLE_V4_EXTN`` : Enables GICv4 related changes in GICv3 driver.
1242   This option defaults to 0.
1243
1244-  ``GIC_EXT_INTID``: When set to ``1``, GICv3 driver will support extended
1245   PPI (1056-1119) and SPI (4096-5119) range. This option defaults to 0.
1246
1247Debugging options
1248-----------------
1249
1250To compile a debug version and make the build more verbose use
1251
1252.. code:: shell
1253
1254    make PLAT=<platform> DEBUG=1 V=1 all
1255
1256AArch64 GCC 11 uses DWARF version 5 debugging symbols by default. Some tools
1257(for example Arm-DS) might not support this and may need an older version of
1258DWARF symbols to be emitted by GCC. This can be achieved by using the
1259``-gdwarf-<version>`` flag, with the version being set to 2, 3, 4 or 5. Setting
1260the version to 4 is recommended for Arm-DS.
1261
1262When debugging logic problems it might also be useful to disable all compiler
1263optimizations by using ``-O0``.
1264
1265.. warning::
1266   Using ``-O0`` could cause output images to be larger and base addresses
1267   might need to be recalculated (see the **Memory layout on Arm development
1268   platforms** section in the :ref:`Firmware Design`).
1269
1270Extra debug options can be passed to the build system by setting ``CFLAGS`` or
1271``LDFLAGS``:
1272
1273.. code:: shell
1274
1275    CFLAGS='-O0 -gdwarf-2'                                     \
1276    make PLAT=<platform> DEBUG=1 V=1 all
1277
1278Note that using ``-Wl,`` style compilation driver options in ``CFLAGS`` will be
1279ignored as the linker is called directly.
1280
1281It is also possible to introduce an infinite loop to help in debugging the
1282post-BL2 phase of TF-A. This can be done by rebuilding BL1 with the
1283``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT=1`` build flag. Refer to the :ref:`build_options_common`
1284section. In this case, the developer may take control of the target using a
1285debugger when indicated by the console output. When using Arm-DS, the following
1286commands can be used:
1287
1288::
1289
1290    # Stop target execution
1291    interrupt
1292
1293    #
1294    # Prepare your debugging environment, e.g. set breakpoints
1295    #
1296
1297    # Jump over the debug loop
1298    set var $AARCH64::$Core::$PC = $AARCH64::$Core::$PC + 4
1299
1300    # Resume execution
1301    continue
1302

1304
1305Experimental build options
1306---------------------------
1307
1308Common build options
1309~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1310
1311-  ``DICE_PROTECTION_ENVIRONMENT``: Boolean flag to specify the measured boot
1312   backend when ``MEASURED_BOOT`` is enabled. The default value is ``0``. When
1313   set to ``1`` then measurements and additional metadata collected during the
1314   measured boot process are sent to the DICE Protection Environment for storage
1315   and processing. A certificate chain, which represents the boot state of the
1316   device, can be queried from the DPE.
1317
1318-  ``DRTM_SUPPORT``: Boolean flag to enable support for Dynamic Root of Trust
1319   for Measurement (DRTM). This feature has trust dependency on BL31 for taking
1320   the measurements and recording them as per `PSA DRTM specification`_. For
1321   platforms which use BL2 to load/authenticate BL31 ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` can
1322   be used and for the platforms which use ``RESET_TO_BL31`` platform owners
1323   should have mechanism to authenticate BL31. This option defaults to 0.
1324
1325-  ``ENABLE_RME``: Numeric value to enable support for the ARMv9 Realm
1326   Management Extension. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with
1327   the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. Default value is 0.
1328
1329-  ``ENABLE_SME_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable Scalable Matrix Extension
1330   (SME), SVE, and FPU/SIMD for the non-secure world only. These features share
1331   registers so are enabled together. Using this option without
1332   ENABLE_SME_FOR_SWD=1 will cause SME, SVE, and FPU/SIMD instructions in secure
1333   world to trap to EL3. Requires ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS`` to be set as SME is a
1334   superset of SVE. SME is an optional architectural feature for AArch64.
1335   At this time, this build option cannot be used on systems that have
1336   SPD=spmd/SPM_MM and atempting to build with this option will fail.
1337   This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
1338   mechanism. Default is 0.
1339
1340-  ``ENABLE_SME2_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable Scalable Matrix Extension
1341   version 2 (SME2) for the non-secure world only. SME2 is an optional
1342   architectural feature for AArch64.
1343   This should be set along with ENABLE_SME_FOR_NS=1, if not, the default SME
1344   accesses will still be trapped. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to
1345   align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. Default is 0.
1346
1347-  ``ENABLE_SME_FOR_SWD``: Boolean option to enable the Scalable Matrix
1348   Extension for secure world. Used along with SVE and FPU/SIMD.
1349   ENABLE_SME_FOR_NS and ENABLE_SVE_FOR_SWD must also be set to use this.
1350   Default is 0.
1351
1352-  ``ENABLE_SPMD_LP`` : This boolean option is used jointly with the SPM
1353   Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``). When enabled (1) it indicates support
1354   for logical partitions in EL3, managed by the SPMD as defined in the
1355   FF-A v1.2 specification. This flag is disabled by default. This flag
1356   must not be used if ``SPMC_AT_EL3`` is enabled.
1357
1358-  ``FEATURE_DETECTION``: Boolean option to enable the architectural features
1359   verification mechanism. This is a debug feature that compares the
1360   architectural features enabled through the feature specific build flags
1361   (ENABLE_FEAT_xxx) with the features actually available on the CPU running,
1362   and reports any discrepancies.
1363   This flag will also enable errata ordering checking for ``DEBUG`` builds.
1364
1365   It is expected that this feature is only used for flexible platforms like
1366   software emulators, or for hardware platforms at bringup time, to verify
1367   that the configured feature set matches the CPU.
1368   The ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` macro is disabled by default.
1369
1370-  ``PSA_CRYPTO``: Boolean option for enabling MbedTLS PSA crypto APIs support.
1371   The platform will use PSA compliant Crypto APIs during authentication and
1372   image measurement process by enabling this option. It uses APIs defined as
1373   per the `PSA Crypto API specification`_. This feature is only supported if
1374   using MbedTLS 3.x version. It is disabled (``0``) by default.
1375
1376-  ``TRANSFER_LIST``: Setting this to ``1`` enables support for Firmware
1377   Handoff using Transfer List defined in `Firmware Handoff specification`_.
1378   This defaults to ``0``. Current implementation follows the Firmware Handoff
1379   specification v0.9.
1380
1381-  ``USE_DEBUGFS``: When set to 1 this option exposes a virtual filesystem
1382   interface through BL31 as a SiP SMC function.
1383   Default is disabled (0).
1384
1385Firmware update options
1386~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1387
1388-  ``PSA_FWU_SUPPORT``: Enable the firmware update mechanism as per the
1389   `PSA FW update specification`_. The default value is 0.
1390   PSA firmware update implementation has few limitations, such as:
1391
1392   -  BL2 is not part of the protocol-updatable images. If BL2 needs to
1393      be updated, then it should be done through another platform-defined
1394      mechanism.
1395
1396   -  It assumes the platform's hardware supports CRC32 instructions.
1397
1398-  ``NR_OF_FW_BANKS``: Define the number of firmware banks. This flag is used
1399   in defining the firmware update metadata structure. This flag is by default
1400   set to '2'.
1401
1402-  ``NR_OF_IMAGES_IN_FW_BANK``: Define the number of firmware images in each
1403   firmware bank. Each firmware bank must have the same number of images as per
1404   the `PSA FW update specification`_.
1405   This flag is used in defining the firmware update metadata structure. This
1406   flag is by default set to '1'.
1407
1408- ``PSA_FWU_METADATA_FW_STORE_DESC``: To be enabled when the FWU
1409   metadata contains image description. The default value is 1.
1410
1411   The version 2 of the FWU metadata allows for an opaque metadata
1412   structure where a platform can choose to not include the firmware
1413   store description in the metadata structure. This option indicates
1414   if the firmware store description, which provides information on
1415   the updatable images is part of the structure.
