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-  ``DEBUG``: Chooses between a debug and release build. It can take either 0
208   (release) or 1 (debug) as values. 0 is the default.
209
210-  ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT``: This build flag enables the user to select the
211   authenticated decryption algorithm to be used to decrypt firmware/s during
212   boot. It accepts 2 values: ``aes_gcm`` and ``none``. The default value of
213   this flag is ``none`` to disable firmware decryption which is an optional
214   feature as per TBBR.
215
216-  ``DISABLE_BIN_GENERATION``: Boolean option to disable the generation
217   of the binary image. If set to 1, then only the ELF image is built.
218   0 is the default.
219
220-  ``DISABLE_MTPMU``: Numeric option to disable ``FEAT_MTPMU`` (Multi Threaded
221   PMU). ``FEAT_MTPMU`` is an optional feature available on Armv8.6 onwards.
222   This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
223   mechanism. Default is ``0``.
224
225-  ``DYN_DISABLE_AUTH``: Provides the capability to dynamically disable Trusted
226   Board Boot authentication at runtime. This option is meant to be enabled only
227   for development platforms. ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` flag must be set if this
228   flag has to be enabled. 0 is the default.
229
230-  ``E``: Boolean option to make warnings into errors. Default is 1.
231
232   When specifying higher warnings levels (``W=1`` and higher), this option
233   defaults to 0. This is done to encourage contributors to use them, as they
234   are expected to produce warnings that would otherwise fail the build. New
235   contributions are still expected to build with ``W=0`` and ``E=1`` (the
236   default).
237
238-  ``EARLY_CONSOLE``: This option is used to enable early traces before default
239   console is properly setup. It introduces EARLY_* traces macros, that will
240   use the non-EARLY traces macros if the flag is enabled, or do nothing
241   otherwise. To use this feature, platforms will have to create the function
242   plat_setup_early_console().
243   Default is 0 (disabled)
244
245-  ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE``: This option enables booting an EL3 payload instead of
246   the normal boot flow. It must specify the entry point address of the EL3
247   payload. Please refer to the "Booting an EL3 payload" section for more
248   details.
249
250-  ``ENABLE_AMU_AUXILIARY_COUNTERS``: Enables support for AMU auxiliary counters
251   (also known as group 1 counters). These are implementation-defined counters,
252   and as such require additional platform configuration. Default is 0.
253
254-  ``ENABLE_AMU_FCONF``: Enables configuration of the AMU through FCONF, which
255   allows platforms with auxiliary counters to describe them via the
256   ``HW_CONFIG`` device tree blob. Default is 0.
257
258-  ``ENABLE_ASSERTIONS``: This option controls whether or not calls to ``assert()``
259   are compiled out. For debug builds, this option defaults to 1, and calls to
260   ``assert()`` are left in place. For release builds, this option defaults to 0
261   and calls to ``assert()`` function are compiled out. This option can be set
262   independently of ``DEBUG``. It can also be used to hide any auxiliary code
263   that is only required for the assertion and does not fit in the assertion
264   itself.
265
266-  ``ENABLE_BACKTRACE``: This option controls whether to enable backtrace
267   dumps or not. It is supported in both AArch64 and AArch32. However, in
268   AArch32 the format of the frame records are not defined in the AAPCS and they
269   are defined by the implementation. This implementation of backtrace only
270   supports the format used by GCC when T32 interworking is disabled. For this
271   reason enabling this option in AArch32 will force the compiler to only
272   generate A32 code. This option is enabled by default only in AArch64 debug
273   builds, but this behaviour can be overridden in each platform's Makefile or
274   in the build command line.
275
276-  ``ENABLE_FEAT``
277   The Arm architecture defines several architecture extension features,
278   named FEAT_xxx in the architecure manual. Some of those features require
279   setup code in higher exception levels, other features might be used by TF-A
280   code itself.
281   Most of the feature flags defined in the TF-A build system permit to take
282   the values 0, 1 or 2, with the following meaning:
283
284   ::
285
286     ENABLE_FEAT_* = 0: Feature is disabled statically at compile time.
287     ENABLE_FEAT_* = 1: Feature is enabled unconditionally at compile time.
288     ENABLE_FEAT_* = 2: Feature is enabled, but checked at runtime.
289
290   When setting the flag to 0, the feature is disabled during compilation,
291   and the compiler's optimisation stage and the linker will try to remove
292   as much of this code as possible.
293   If it is defined to 1, the code will use the feature unconditionally, so the
294   CPU is expected to support that feature. The FEATURE_DETECTION debug
295   feature, if enabled, will verify this.
296   If the feature flag is set to 2, support for the feature will be compiled
297   in, but its existence will be checked at runtime, so it works on CPUs with
298   or without the feature. This is mostly useful for platforms which either
299   support multiple different CPUs, or where the CPU is configured at runtime,
300   like in emulators.
301
302-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_AMU``: Numeric value to enable Activity Monitor Unit
303   extensions. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the
304   ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. This is an optional architectural feature
305   available on v8.4 onwards. Some v8.2 implementations also implement an AMU
306   and this option can be used to enable this feature on those systems as well.
307   This flag can take the values 0 to 2, the default is 0.
308
309-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_AMUv1p1``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_AMUv1p1``
310   extension. ``FEAT_AMUv1p1`` is an optional feature available on Arm v8.6

316   register during EL2 context save/restore operations. ``FEAT_CSV2_2`` is an
317   optional feature available on Arm v8.0 onwards. This flag can take values
318   0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism.
319   Default value is ``0``.
320
321-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_CSV2_3``: Numeric value to enable support for ``FEAT_CSV2_3``
322   extension. This feature is supported in AArch64 state only and is an optional
323   feature available in Arm v8.0 implementations.
324   ``FEAT_CSV2_3`` implies the implementation of ``FEAT_CSV2_2``.
325   The flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
326   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
327
328- ``ENABLE_FEAT_DEBUGV8P9``: Numeric value to enable ``FEAT_DEBUGV8P9``
329   extension which allows the ability to implement more than 16 breakpoints
330   and/or watchpoints. This feature is mandatory from v8.9 and is optional
331   from v8.8. This flag can take the values of 0 to 2, to align with the
332   ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
333
334-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_DIT``: Numeric value to enable ``FEAT_DIT`` (Data Independent
335   Timing) extension. It allows setting the ``DIT`` bit of PSTATE in EL3.
336   ``FEAT_DIT`` is a mandatory  architectural feature and is enabled from v8.4
337   and upwards. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the
338   ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
339
340-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_ECV``: Numeric value to enable support for the Enhanced Counter
341   Virtualization feature, allowing for access to the CNTPOFF_EL2 (Counter-timer
342   Physical Offset register) during EL2 to EL3 context save/restore operations.
343   Its a mandatory architectural feature and is enabled from v8.6 and upwards.

361-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_HCX``: Numeric value to set the bit SCR_EL3.HXEn in EL3 to
362   allow access to HCRX_EL2 (extended hypervisor control register) from EL2 as
363   well as adding HCRX_EL2 to the EL2 context save/restore operations. Its a
364   mandatory architectural feature and is enabled from v8.7 and upwards. This
365   flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
366   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
367
368-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_MTE2``: Numeric value to enable Memory Tagging Extension2
369   if the platform wants to use this feature and MTE2 is enabled at ELX.
370   This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
371   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
372
373-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_PAN``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_PAN`` (Privileged
374   Access Never) extension. ``FEAT_PAN`` adds a bit to PSTATE, generating a
375   permission fault for any privileged data access from EL1/EL2 to virtual
376   memory address, accessible at EL0, provided (HCR_EL2.E2H=1). It is a
377   mandatory architectural feature and is enabled from v8.1 and upwards. This

379   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
380
381-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_RNG``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_RNG`` extension.
382   ``FEAT_RNG`` is an optional feature available on Arm v8.5 onwards. This
383   flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
384   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
385
386-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_RNG_TRAP``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_RNG_TRAP``
387   extension. This feature is only supported in AArch64 state. This flag can
388   take values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism.
389   Default value is ``0``. ``FEAT_RNG_TRAP`` is an optional feature from
390   Armv8.5 onwards.
391
392-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_SB``: Boolean option to let the TF-A code use the ``FEAT_SB``
393   (Speculation Barrier) instruction ``FEAT_SB`` is an optional feature and
394   defaults to ``0`` for pre-Armv8.5 CPUs, but is mandatory for Armv8.5 or

396   overidden from platforms explicitly.
397
398-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_SEL2``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_SEL2`` (Secure EL2)
399   extension. ``FEAT_SEL2`` is a mandatory feature available on Arm v8.4.

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

1122   | 1530924 |  Cortex-A53  |  ``ERRATA_A53_1530924`` |
1123   +---------+--------------+-------------------------+
1124
1125   .. note::
1126      This option is enabled by build only if platform sets any of above defines
1127      mentioned in ’Workaround Define' column in the table.
1128      If this option is enabled for the EL3 software then EL2 software also must
1129      implement this workaround due to the behaviour of the errata mentioned
1130      in new SDEN document which will get published soon.
1131
1132- ``RAS_TRAP_NS_ERR_REC_ACCESS``: This flag enables/disables the SCR_EL3.TERR
1133  bit, to trap access to the RAS ERR and RAS ERX registers from lower ELs.
1134  This flag is disabled by default.
1135
1136- ``OPENSSL_DIR``: This option is used to provide the path to a directory on the
1137  host machine where a custom installation of OpenSSL is located, which is used
1138  to build the certificate generation, firmware encryption and FIP tools. If
1139  this option is not set, the default OS installation will be used.
1140
1141- ``USE_SP804_TIMER``: Use the SP804 timer instead of the Generic Timer for
1142  functions that wait for an arbitrary time length (udelay and mdelay). The
1143  default value is 0.
1144
1145- ``ENABLE_BRBE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable access to the branch record
1146  buffer registers from NS ELs when FEAT_BRBE is implemented. BRBE is an
1147  optional architectural feature for AArch64. This flag can take the values
1148  0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. The default is 0
1149  and it is automatically disabled when the target architecture is AArch32.
1150
1151- ``ENABLE_TRBE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable access of trace buffer
1152  control registers from NS ELs, NS-EL2 or NS-EL1(when NS-EL2 is implemented
1153  but unused) when FEAT_TRBE is implemented. TRBE is an optional architectural
1154  feature for AArch64. This flag can take the values  0 to 2, to align with the
1155  ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. The default is 0 and it is automatically
1156  disabled when the target architecture is AArch32.
1157
1158- ``ENABLE_SYS_REG_TRACE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable trace system
1159  registers access from NS ELs, NS-EL2 or NS-EL1 (when NS-EL2 is implemented
1160  but unused). This feature is available if trace unit such as ETMv4.x, and
1161  ETE(extending ETM feature) is implemented. This flag can take the values
1162  0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. The default is 0.
1163
1164- ``ENABLE_TRF_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable trace filter control registers
1165  access from NS ELs, NS-EL2 or NS-EL1 (when NS-EL2 is implemented but unused),
1166  if FEAT_TRF is implemented. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align
1167  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. This flag is disabled by default.
1168
1169- ``CONDITIONAL_CMO``: Boolean option to enable call to platform-defined routine
1170  ``plat_can_cmo`` which will return zero if cache management operations should
1171  be skipped and non-zero otherwise. By default, this option is disabled which
1172  means platform hook won't be checked and CMOs will always be performed when
1173  related functions are called.
1174
1175- ``ERRATA_ABI_SUPPORT``: Boolean option to enable support for Errata management
1176  firmware interface for the BL31 image. By default its disabled (``0``).
1177
1178- ``ERRATA_NON_ARM_INTERCONNECT``: Boolean option to enable support for the
1179  errata mitigation for platforms with a non-arm interconnect using the errata
1180  ABI. By default its disabled (``0``).
1181
1182- ``ENABLE_CONSOLE_GETC``: Boolean option to enable `getc()` feature in console
1183  driver(s). By default it is disabled (``0``) because it constitutes an attack
1184  vector into TF-A by potentially allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary data.
1185  This option should only be enabled on a need basis if there is a use case for
1186  reading characters from the console.
1187
1188GICv3 driver options
1189--------------------
1190
1191GICv3 driver files are included using directive:
1192
1193``include drivers/arm/gic/v3/gicv3.mk``
1194
1195The driver can be configured with the following options set in the platform
1196makefile:
1197
1198-  ``GICV3_SUPPORT_GIC600``: Add support for the GIC-600 variants of GICv3.
1199   Enabling this option will add runtime detection support for the
1200   GIC-600, so is safe to select even for a GIC500 implementation.
1201   This option defaults to 0.
1202
1203- ``GICV3_SUPPORT_GIC600AE_FMU``: Add support for the Fault Management Unit
1204   for GIC-600 AE. Enabling this option will introduce support to initialize
1205   the FMU. Platforms should call the init function during boot to enable the
1206   FMU and its safety mechanisms. This option defaults to 0.
1207
1208-  ``GICV3_IMPL_GIC600_MULTICHIP``: Selects GIC-600 variant with multichip
1209   functionality. This option defaults to 0
1210
1211-  ``GICV3_OVERRIDE_DISTIF_PWR_OPS``: Allows override of default implementation
1212   of ``arm_gicv3_distif_pre_save`` and ``arm_gicv3_distif_post_restore``
1213   functions. This is required for FVP platform which need to simulate GIC save
1214   and restore during SYSTEM_SUSPEND without powering down GIC. Default is 0.
1215
1216-  ``GIC_ENABLE_V4_EXTN`` : Enables GICv4 related changes in GICv3 driver.
1217   This option defaults to 0.
1218
1219-  ``GIC_EXT_INTID``: When set to ``1``, GICv3 driver will support extended
1220   PPI (1056-1119) and SPI (4096-5119) range. This option defaults to 0.
1221
1222Debugging options
1223-----------------
1224
1225To compile a debug version and make the build more verbose use
1226
1227.. code:: shell
1228
1229    make PLAT=<platform> DEBUG=1 V=1 all
1230
1231AArch64 GCC 11 uses DWARF version 5 debugging symbols by default. Some tools
1232(for example Arm-DS) might not support this and may need an older version of
1233DWARF symbols to be emitted by GCC. This can be achieved by using the
1234``-gdwarf-<version>`` flag, with the version being set to 2, 3, 4 or 5. Setting
1235the version to 4 is recommended for Arm-DS.
1236
1237When debugging logic problems it might also be useful to disable all compiler
1238optimizations by using ``-O0``.
1239
1240.. warning::
1241   Using ``-O0`` could cause output images to be larger and base addresses
1242   might need to be recalculated (see the **Memory layout on Arm development
1243   platforms** section in the :ref:`Firmware Design`).
1244
1245Extra debug options can be passed to the build system by setting ``CFLAGS`` or
1246``LDFLAGS``:
1247
1248.. code:: shell
1249
1250    CFLAGS='-O0 -gdwarf-2'                                     \
1251    make PLAT=<platform> DEBUG=1 V=1 all
1252
1253Note that using ``-Wl,`` style compilation driver options in ``CFLAGS`` will be
1254ignored as the linker is called directly.
1255
1256It is also possible to introduce an infinite loop to help in debugging the
1257post-BL2 phase of TF-A. This can be done by rebuilding BL1 with the
1258``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT=1`` build flag. Refer to the :ref:`build_options_common`
1259section. In this case, the developer may take control of the target using a
1260debugger when indicated by the console output. When using Arm-DS, the following
1261commands can be used:
1262
1263::
1264
1265    # Stop target execution
1266    interrupt
1267
1268    #
1269    # Prepare your debugging environment, e.g. set breakpoints
1270    #
1271
1272    # Jump over the debug loop
1273    set var $AARCH64::$Core::$PC = $AARCH64::$Core::$PC + 4
1274
1275    # Resume execution
1276    continue

1279
1280Experimental build options
1281---------------------------
1282
1283Common build options
1284~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1285
1286-  ``DICE_PROTECTION_ENVIRONMENT``: Boolean flag to specify the measured boot
1287   backend when ``MEASURED_BOOT`` is enabled. The default value is ``0``. When
1288   set to ``1`` then measurements and additional metadata collected during the
1289   measured boot process are sent to the DICE Protection Environment for storage
1290   and processing. A certificate chain, which represents the boot state of the
1291   device, can be queried from the DPE.
1292
1293-  ``DRTM_SUPPORT``: Boolean flag to enable support for Dynamic Root of Trust
1294   for Measurement (DRTM). This feature has trust dependency on BL31 for taking
1295   the measurements and recording them as per `PSA DRTM specification`_. For
1296   platforms which use BL2 to load/authenticate BL31 ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` can
1297   be used and for the platforms which use ``RESET_TO_BL31`` platform owners
1298   should have mechanism to authenticate BL31. This option defaults to 0.
1299
1300-  ``ENABLE_RME``: Numeric value to enable support for the ARMv9 Realm
1301   Management Extension. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with
1302   the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. Default value is 0.
1303
1304-  ``ENABLE_SME_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable Scalable Matrix Extension
1305   (SME), SVE, and FPU/SIMD for the non-secure world only. These features share
1306   registers so are enabled together. Using this option without
1307   ENABLE_SME_FOR_SWD=1 will cause SME, SVE, and FPU/SIMD instructions in secure
1308   world to trap to EL3. Requires ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS`` to be set as SME is a
1309   superset of SVE. SME is an optional architectural feature for AArch64.
1310   At this time, this build option cannot be used on systems that have
1311   SPD=spmd/SPM_MM and atempting to build with this option will fail.
1312   This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
1313   mechanism. Default is 0.
1314
1315-  ``ENABLE_SME2_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable Scalable Matrix Extension
1316   version 2 (SME2) for the non-secure world only. SME2 is an optional
1317   architectural feature for AArch64.
1318   This should be set along with ENABLE_SME_FOR_NS=1, if not, the default SME
1319   accesses will still be trapped. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to
1320   align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. Default is 0.
1321
1322-  ``ENABLE_SME_FOR_SWD``: Boolean option to enable the Scalable Matrix
1323   Extension for secure world. Used along with SVE and FPU/SIMD.
1324   ENABLE_SME_FOR_NS and ENABLE_SVE_FOR_SWD must also be set to use this.
1325   Default is 0.
1326
1327-  ``ENABLE_SPMD_LP`` : This boolean option is used jointly with the SPM
1328   Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``). When enabled (1) it indicates support
1329   for logical partitions in EL3, managed by the SPMD as defined in the
1330   FF-A v1.2 specification. This flag is disabled by default. This flag
1331   must not be used if ``SPMC_AT_EL3`` is enabled.
1332
1333-  ``FEATURE_DETECTION``: Boolean option to enable the architectural features
1334   verification mechanism. This is a debug feature that compares the
1335   architectural features enabled through the feature specific build flags
1336   (ENABLE_FEAT_xxx) with the features actually available on the CPU running,
1337   and reports any discrepancies.
1338   This flag will also enable errata ordering checking for ``DEBUG`` builds.
1339
1340   It is expected that this feature is only used for flexible platforms like
1341   software emulators, or for hardware platforms at bringup time, to verify
1342   that the configured feature set matches the CPU.
1343   The ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` macro is disabled by default.
1344
1345-  ``PSA_CRYPTO``: Boolean option for enabling MbedTLS PSA crypto APIs support.
1346   The platform will use PSA compliant Crypto APIs during authentication and
1347   image measurement process by enabling this option. It uses APIs defined as
1348   per the `PSA Crypto API specification`_. This feature is only supported if
1349   using MbedTLS 3.x version. It is disabled (``0``) by default.
1350
1351-  ``TRANSFER_LIST``: Setting this to ``1`` enables support for Firmware
1352   Handoff using Transfer List defined in `Firmware Handoff specification`_.
1353   This defaults to ``0``. Current implementation follows the Firmware Handoff
1354   specification v0.9.
1355
1356-  ``USE_DEBUGFS``: When set to 1 this option exposes a virtual filesystem
1357   interface through BL31 as a SiP SMC function.
1358   Default is disabled (0).
1359
1360Firmware update options
1361~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1362
1363-  ``PSA_FWU_SUPPORT``: Enable the firmware update mechanism as per the
1364   `PSA FW update specification`_. The default value is 0.
1365   PSA firmware update implementation has few limitations, such as:
1366
1367   -  BL2 is not part of the protocol-updatable images. If BL2 needs to
1368      be updated, then it should be done through another platform-defined
1369      mechanism.
1370
1371   -  It assumes the platform's hardware supports CRC32 instructions.
1372
1373-  ``NR_OF_FW_BANKS``: Define the number of firmware banks. This flag is used
1374   in defining the firmware update metadata structure. This flag is by default
1375   set to '2'.
1376
1377-  ``NR_OF_IMAGES_IN_FW_BANK``: Define the number of firmware images in each
1378   firmware bank. Each firmware bank must have the same number of images as per
1379   the `PSA FW update specification`_.
1380   This flag is used in defining the firmware update metadata structure. This
1381   flag is by default set to '1'.
1382
1383- ``PSA_FWU_METADATA_FW_STORE_DESC``: To be enabled when the FWU
1384   metadata contains image description. The default value is 1.
1385
1386   The version 2 of the FWU metadata allows for an opaque metadata
1387   structure where a platform can choose to not include the firmware
1388   store description in the metadata structure. This option indicates
1389   if the firmware store description, which provides information on
1390   the updatable images is part of the structure.
