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)

363   during  EL2 to EL3 context save/restore operations.
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

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_FEAT_SCTLR2``: Numeric value to enable support for FEAT_SCTLR2
467   (Extension to SCTLR_ELx) at EL2 and below, setting the bit
468   SCR_EL3.SCTLR2En in EL3 to allow access to SCTLR2_ELx registers and
469   context switch them. This feature is OPTIONAL from Armv8.0 implementations
470   and mandatory in Armv8.9 implementations.
471   This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
472   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
473
474-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_D128``: Numeric value to enable support for FEAT_D128
475   at EL2 and below, setting the bit SCT_EL3.D128En in EL3 to allow access to
476   128 bit version of system registers like PAR_EL1, TTBR0_EL1, TTBR1_EL1,
477   TTBR0_EL2, TTBR1_EL2, TTBR0_EL12, TTBR1_EL12 , VTTBR_EL2, RCWMASK_EL1, and
478   RCWSMASK_EL1. Its an optional architectural feature and is available from
479   9.3 and upwards.
480   This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
481   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
482
483-  ``ENABLE_LTO``: Boolean option to enable Link Time Optimization (LTO)
484   support in GCC for TF-A. This option is currently only supported for
485   AArch64. Default is 0.
486
487-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_MPAM``: Numeric value to enable lower ELs to use MPAM
488   feature. MPAM is an optional Armv8.4 extension that enables various memory
489   system components and resources to define partitions; software running at
490   various ELs can assign themselves to desired partition to control their
491   performance aspects.
492
493   This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
494   mechanism. When this option is set to ``1`` or ``2``, EL3 allows lower ELs to
495   access their own MPAM registers without trapping into EL3. This option
496   doesn't make use of partitioning in EL3, however. Platform initialisation
497   code should configure and use partitions in EL3 as required. This option
498   defaults to ``2`` since MPAM is enabled by default for NS world only.
499   The flag is automatically disabled when the target
500   architecture is AArch32.
501
502-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_LS64_ACCDATA``: Numeric value to enable access and save and
503   restore the ACCDATA_EL1 system register, at EL2 and below. This flag can
504   take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism.
505   Default value is ``0``.
506
507-  ``ENABLE_MPMM``: Boolean option to enable support for the Maximum Power
508   Mitigation Mechanism supported by certain Arm cores, which allows the SoC
509   firmware to detect and limit high activity events to assist in SoC processor
510   power domain dynamic power budgeting and limit the triggering of whole-rail
511   (i.e. clock chopping) responses to overcurrent conditions. Defaults to ``0``.
512
513-  ``ENABLE_MPMM_FCONF``: Enables configuration of MPMM through FCONF, which
514   allows platforms with cores supporting MPMM to describe them via the
515   ``HW_CONFIG`` device tree blob. Default is 0.
516
517-  ``ENABLE_PIE``: Boolean option to enable Position Independent Executable(PIE)
518   support within generic code in TF-A. This option is currently only supported
519   in BL2, BL31, and BL32 (TSP) for AARCH64 binaries, and
520   in BL32 (SP_min) for AARCH32. Default is 0.
521
522-  ``ENABLE_PMF``: Boolean option to enable support for optional Performance
523   Measurement Framework(PMF). Default is 0.
524
525-  ``ENABLE_PSCI_STAT``: Boolean option to enable support for optional PSCI
526   functions ``PSCI_STAT_RESIDENCY`` and ``PSCI_STAT_COUNT``. Default is 0.
527   In the absence of an alternate stat collection backend, ``ENABLE_PMF`` must
528   be enabled. If ``ENABLE_PMF`` is set, the residency statistics are tracked in
529   software.
530
531-  ``ENABLE_RUNTIME_INSTRUMENTATION``: Boolean option to enable runtime
532   instrumentation which injects timestamp collection points into TF-A to
533   allow runtime performance to be measured. Currently, only PSCI is
534   instrumented. Enabling this option enables the ``ENABLE_PMF`` build option
535   as well. Default is 0.
536
537-  ``ENABLE_SPE_FOR_NS`` : Numeric value to enable Statistical Profiling
538   extensions. This is an optional architectural feature for AArch64.
539   This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
540   mechanism. The default is 2 but is automatically disabled when the target
541   architecture is AArch32.
542
543-  ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable Scalable Vector Extension
544   (SVE) for the Non-secure world only. SVE is an optional architectural feature
545   for AArch64. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the
546   ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. At this time, this build option cannot be used on
547   systems that have SPM_MM enabled. The default value is 2.
548
549   Note that when SVE is enabled for the Non-secure world, access
550   to SVE, SIMD and floating-point functionality from the Secure world is
551   independently controlled by build option ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_SWD``. When enabling
552   ``CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS`` and ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS`` together, it is mandatory to
553   enable ``CTX_INCLUDE_SVE_REGS``. This is to avoid corruption of the Non-secure
554   world data in the Z-registers which are aliased by the SIMD and FP registers.
555
556-  ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_SWD``: Boolean option to enable SVE and FPU/SIMD functionality
557   for the Secure world. SVE is an optional architectural feature for AArch64.
558   The default is 0 and it is automatically disabled when the target architecture
559   is AArch32.
560
561   .. note::
562      This build flag requires ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS`` to be enabled. When enabling
563      ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_SWD``, a developer must carefully consider whether
564      ``CTX_INCLUDE_SVE_REGS`` is also needed.
565
566-  ``ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR``: String option to enable the stack protection
567   checks in GCC. Allowed values are "all", "strong", "default" and "none". The
568   default value is set to "none". "strong" is the recommended stack protection
569   level if this feature is desired. "none" disables the stack protection. For
570   all values other than "none", the ``plat_get_stack_protector_canary()``
571   platform hook needs to be implemented. The value is passed as the last
572   component of the option ``-fstack-protector-$ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR``.
573
574-  ``ENCRYPT_BL31``: Binary flag to enable encryption of BL31 firmware. This
575   flag depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag.
576
577-  ``ENCRYPT_BL32``: Binary flag to enable encryption of Secure BL32 payload.
578   This flag depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag.
579
580-  ``ENC_KEY``: A 32-byte (256-bit) symmetric key in hex string format. It could
581   either be SSK or BSSK depending on ``FW_ENC_STATUS`` flag. This value depends
582   on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag.
583
584-  ``ENC_NONCE``: A 12-byte (96-bit) encryption nonce or Initialization Vector
585   (IV) in hex string format. This value depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT``
586   build flag.
587
588-  ``ERROR_DEPRECATED``: This option decides whether to treat the usage of
589   deprecated platform APIs, helper functions or drivers within Trusted
590   Firmware as error. It can take the value 1 (flag the use of deprecated
591   APIs as error) or 0. The default is 0.
592
593-  ``ETHOSN_NPU_DRIVER``: boolean option to enable a SiP service that can
594   configure an Arm® Ethos™-N NPU. To use this service the target platform's
595   ``HW_CONFIG`` must include the device tree nodes for the NPU. Currently, only
596   the Arm Juno platform has this included in its ``HW_CONFIG`` and the platform
597   only loads the ``HW_CONFIG`` in AArch64 builds. Default is 0.
598
599-  ``ETHOSN_NPU_TZMP1``: boolean option to enable TZMP1 support for the
600   Arm® Ethos™-N NPU. Requires ``ETHOSN_NPU_DRIVER`` and
601   ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` to be enabled.
602
603-  ``ETHOSN_NPU_FW``: location of the NPU firmware binary
604   (```ethosn.bin```). This firmware image will be included in the FIP and
605   loaded at runtime.
606
607-  ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING``: When set to ``1``, enable handling of exceptions
608   targeted at EL3. When set ``0`` (default), no exceptions are expected or
609   handled at EL3, and a panic will result. The exception to this rule is when
610   ``SPMD_SPM_AT_SEL2`` is set to ``1``, in which case, only exceptions
611   occuring during normal world execution, are trapped to EL3. Any exception
612   trapped during secure world execution are trapped to the SPMC. This is
613   supported only for AArch64 builds.
614
615-  ``EVENT_LOG_LEVEL``: Chooses the log level to use for Measured Boot when
616   ``MEASURED_BOOT`` is enabled. For a list of valid values, see ``LOG_LEVEL``.
617   Default value is 40 (LOG_LEVEL_INFO).
618
619-  ``FAULT_INJECTION_SUPPORT``: ARMv8.4 extensions introduced support for fault
620   injection from lower ELs, and this build option enables lower ELs to use
621   Error Records accessed via System Registers to inject faults. This is
622   applicable only to AArch64 builds.
623
624   This feature is intended for testing purposes only, and is advisable to keep
625   disabled for production images.
626
627-  ``FIP_NAME``: This is an optional build option which specifies the FIP
628   filename for the ``fip`` target. Default is ``fip.bin``.
629
630-  ``FWU_FIP_NAME``: This is an optional build option which specifies the FWU
631   FIP filename for the ``fwu_fip`` target. Default is ``fwu_fip.bin``.
632
633-  ``FW_ENC_STATUS``: Top level firmware's encryption numeric flag, values:
634
635   ::
636
637     0: Encryption is done with Secret Symmetric Key (SSK) which is common
638        for a class of devices.
639     1: Encryption is done with Binding Secret Symmetric Key (BSSK) which is
640        unique per device.
641
642   This flag depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag.
643
644-  ``GENERATE_COT``: Boolean flag used to build and execute the ``cert_create``
645   tool to create certificates as per the Chain of Trust described in
646   :ref:`Trusted Board Boot`. The build system then calls ``fiptool`` to
647   include the certificates in the FIP and FWU_FIP. Default value is '0'.
648
649   Specify both ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1`` and ``GENERATE_COT=1`` to include support
650   for the Trusted Board Boot feature in the BL1 and BL2 images, to generate
651   the corresponding certificates, and to include those certificates in the
652   FIP and FWU_FIP.
653
654   Note that if ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=0`` and ``GENERATE_COT=1``, the BL1 and BL2
655   images will not include support for Trusted Board Boot. The FIP will still
656   include the corresponding certificates. This FIP can be used to verify the
657   Chain of Trust on the host machine through other mechanisms.
658
659   Note that if ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1`` and ``GENERATE_COT=0``, the BL1 and BL2
660   images will include support for Trusted Board Boot, but the FIP and FWU_FIP
661   will not include the corresponding certificates, causing a boot failure.
662
663-  ``GICV2_G0_FOR_EL3``: Unlike GICv3, the GICv2 architecture doesn't have
664   inherent support for specific EL3 type interrupts. Setting this build option
665   to ``1`` assumes GICv2 *Group 0* interrupts are expected to target EL3, both
666   by :ref:`platform abstraction layer<platform Interrupt Controller API>` and
667   :ref:`Interrupt Management Framework<Interrupt Management Framework>`.
668   This allows GICv2 platforms to enable features requiring EL3 interrupt type.
669   This also means that all GICv2 Group 0 interrupts are delivered to EL3, and
670   the Secure Payload interrupts needs to be synchronously handed over to Secure
671   EL1 for handling. The default value of this option is ``0``, which means the
672   Group 0 interrupts are assumed to be handled by Secure EL1.
673
674-  ``HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST_NS``: When set to ``1``, External Aborts and SError
675   Interrupts, resulting from errors in NS world, will be always trapped in
676   EL3 i.e. in BL31 at runtime. When set to ``0`` (default), these exceptions
677   will be trapped in the current exception level (or in EL1 if the current
678   exception level is EL0).
679
680-  ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY``: On most Arm systems to-date, platform-specific
681   software operations are required for CPUs to enter and exit coherency.
682   However, newer systems exist where CPUs' entry to and exit from coherency
683   is managed in hardware. Such systems require software to only initiate these
684   operations, and the rest is managed in hardware, minimizing active software
685   management. In such systems, this boolean option enables TF-A to carry out
686   build and run-time optimizations during boot and power management operations.
687   This option defaults to 0 and if it is enabled, then it implies
688   ``WARMBOOT_ENABLE_DCACHE_EARLY`` is also enabled.
689
690   If this flag is disabled while the platform which TF-A is compiled for
691   includes cores that manage coherency in hardware, then a compilation error is
692   generated. This is based on the fact that a system cannot have, at the same
693   time, cores that manage coherency in hardware and cores that don't. In other
694   words, a platform cannot have, at the same time, cores that require
695   ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY=1`` and cores that require
696   ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY=0``.
697
698   Note that, when ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY`` is enabled, version 2 of
699   translation library (xlat tables v2) must be used; version 1 of translation
700   library is not supported.
701
702-  ``IMPDEF_SYSREG_TRAP``: Numeric value to enable the handling traps for
703   implementation defined system register accesses from lower ELs. Default
704   value is ``0``.
705
706-  ``INVERTED_MEMMAP``: memmap tool print by default lower addresses at the
707   bottom, higher addresses at the top. This build flag can be set to '1' to
708   invert this behavior. Lower addresses will be printed at the top and higher
709   addresses at the bottom.
710
711-  ``KEY_ALG``: This build flag enables the user to select the algorithm to be
712   used for generating the PKCS keys and subsequent signing of the certificate.
713   It accepts 5 values: ``rsa``, ``rsa_1_5``, ``ecdsa``, ``ecdsa-brainpool-regular``
714   and ``ecdsa-brainpool-twisted``. The option ``rsa_1_5`` is the legacy PKCS#1
715   RSA 1.5 algorithm which is not TBBR compliant and is retained only for
716   compatibility. The default value of this flag is ``rsa`` which is the TBBR
717   compliant PKCS#1 RSA 2.1 scheme.
718
719-  ``KEY_SIZE``: This build flag enables the user to select the key size for
720   the algorithm specified by ``KEY_ALG``. The valid values for ``KEY_SIZE``
721   depend on the chosen algorithm and the cryptographic module.
722
723   +---------------------------+------------------------------------+
724   |         KEY_ALG           |        Possible key sizes          |
725   +===========================+====================================+
726   |           rsa             | 1024 , 2048 (default), 3072, 4096  |
727   +---------------------------+------------------------------------+
728   |          ecdsa            |         256 (default), 384         |
729   +---------------------------+------------------------------------+
730   |  ecdsa-brainpool-regular  |            unavailable             |
731   +---------------------------+------------------------------------+
732   |  ecdsa-brainpool-twisted  |            unavailable             |
733   +---------------------------+------------------------------------+
734
735-  ``HASH_ALG``: This build flag enables the user to select the secure hash
736   algorithm. It accepts 3 values: ``sha256``, ``sha384`` and ``sha512``.
737   The default value of this flag is ``sha256``.
738
739-  ``LDFLAGS``: Extra user options appended to the linkers' command line in
740   addition to the one set by the build system.
741
742-  ``LOG_LEVEL``: Chooses the log level, which controls the amount of console log
743   output compiled into the build. This should be one of the following:
744
745   ::
746
747       0  (LOG_LEVEL_NONE)
748       10 (LOG_LEVEL_ERROR)
749       20 (LOG_LEVEL_NOTICE)
750       30 (LOG_LEVEL_WARNING)
751       40 (LOG_LEVEL_INFO)
752       50 (LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE)
753
754   All log output up to and including the selected log level is compiled into
755   the build. The default value is 40 in debug builds and 20 in release builds.
756
757-  ``MEASURED_BOOT``: Boolean flag to include support for the Measured Boot
758   feature. This flag can be enabled with ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` in order to
759   provide trust that the code taking the measurements and recording them has
760   not been tampered with.
761
762   This option defaults to 0.
763
764-  ``MARCH_DIRECTIVE``: used to pass a -march option from the platform build
765   options to the compiler. An example usage:
766
767   .. code:: make
768
769      MARCH_DIRECTIVE := -march=armv8.5-a
770
771-  ``HARDEN_SLS``: used to pass -mharden-sls=all from the TF-A build
772   options to the compiler currently supporting only of the options.
773   GCC documentation:
774   https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/AArch64-Options.html#index-mharden-sls
775
776   An example usage:
777
778   .. code:: make
779
780      HARDEN_SLS := 1
781
782   This option defaults to 0.
783
784-  ``NON_TRUSTED_WORLD_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It
785   specifies a file that contains the Non-Trusted World private key in PEM
786   format or a PKCS11 URI. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, only a file is accepted and it
787   will be used to save the key.
788
789-  ``NS_BL2U``: Path to NS_BL2U image in the host file system. This image is
790   optional. It is only needed if the platform makefile specifies that it
791   is required in order to build the ``fwu_fip`` target.
792
793-  ``NS_TIMER_SWITCH``: Enable save and restore for non-secure timer register
794   contents upon world switch. It can take either 0 (don't save and restore) or
795   1 (do save and restore). 0 is the default. An SPD may set this to 1 if it
796   wants the timer registers to be saved and restored.
797
798-  ``OVERRIDE_LIBC``: This option allows platforms to override the default libc
799   for the BL image. It can be either 0 (include) or 1 (remove). The default
800   value is 0.
801
802-  ``PL011_GENERIC_UART``: Boolean option to indicate the PL011 driver that
803   the underlying hardware is not a full PL011 UART but a minimally compliant
804   generic UART, which is a subset of the PL011. The driver will not access
805   any register that is not part of the SBSA generic UART specification.
806   Default value is 0 (a full PL011 compliant UART is present).
807
808-  ``PLAT``: Choose a platform to build TF-A for. The chosen platform name
809   must be subdirectory of any depth under ``plat/``, and must contain a
810   platform makefile named ``platform.mk``. For example, to build TF-A for the
811   Arm Juno board, select PLAT=juno.
812
813-  ``PLATFORM_REPORT_CTX_MEM_USE``: Reports the context memory allocated for
814   each core as well as the global context. The data includes the memory used
815   by each world and each privileged exception level. This build option is
816   applicable only for ``ARCH=aarch64`` builds. The default value is 0.
817
818-  ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE``: This option enables booting a preloaded BL33 image
819   instead of the normal boot flow. When defined, it must specify the entry
820   point address for the preloaded BL33 image. This option is incompatible with
821   ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE``. If both are defined, ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE`` has priority
822   over ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE``.
823
824-  ``PRESERVE_DSU_PMU_REGS``: This options when enabled allows the platform to
825   save/restore the DynamIQ Shared Unit's(DSU) Performance Monitoring Unit(PMU)
826   registers when the cluster goes through a power cycle. This is disabled by
827   default and platforms that require this feature have to enable them.
828
829-  ``PROGRAMMABLE_RESET_ADDRESS``: This option indicates whether the reset
830   vector address can be programmed or is fixed on the platform. It can take
831   either 0 (fixed) or 1 (programmable). Default is 0. If the platform has a
832   programmable reset address, it is expected that a CPU will start executing
833   code directly at the right address, both on a cold and warm reset. In this
834   case, there is no need to identify the entrypoint on boot and the boot path
835   can be optimised. The ``plat_get_my_entrypoint()`` platform porting interface
836   does not need to be implemented in this case.
837
838-  ``PSCI_EXTENDED_STATE_ID``: As per PSCI1.0 Specification, there are 2 formats
839   possible for the PSCI power-state parameter: original and extended State-ID
840   formats. This flag if set to 1, configures the generic PSCI layer to use the
841   extended format. The default value of this flag is 0, which means by default
842   the original power-state format is used by the PSCI implementation. This flag
843   should be specified by the platform makefile and it governs the return value
844   of PSCI_FEATURES API for CPU_SUSPEND smc function id. When this option is
845   enabled on Arm platforms, the option ``ARM_RECOM_STATE_ID_ENC`` needs to be
846   set to 1 as well.
847
848-  ``PSCI_OS_INIT_MODE``: Boolean flag to enable support for optional PSCI
849   OS-initiated mode. This option defaults to 0.
850
851-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_RAS``: Boolean flag to enable Armv8.2 RAS features. RAS features
852   are an optional extension for pre-Armv8.2 CPUs, but are mandatory for Armv8.2
853   or later CPUs. This flag can take the values 0 or 1. The default value is 0.
854   NOTE: This flag enables use of IESB capability to reduce entry latency into
855   EL3 even when RAS error handling is not performed on the platform. Hence this
856   flag is recommended to be turned on Armv8.2 and later CPUs.
857
858-  ``RESET_TO_BL31``: Enable BL31 entrypoint as the CPU reset vector instead
859   of the BL1 entrypoint. It can take the value 0 (CPU reset to BL1
860   entrypoint) or 1 (CPU reset to BL31 entrypoint).
861   The default value is 0.
862
863-  ``RESET_TO_SP_MIN``: SP_MIN is the minimal AArch32 Secure Payload provided
864   in TF-A. This flag configures SP_MIN entrypoint as the CPU reset vector
865   instead of the BL1 entrypoint. It can take the value 0 (CPU reset to BL1
866   entrypoint) or 1 (CPU reset to SP_MIN entrypoint). The default value is 0.
867
868-  ``RME_GPT_BITLOCK_BLOCK``: This defines the block size (in number of 512MB
869-  blocks) covered by a single bit of the bitlock structure during RME GPT
870-  operations. The lower the block size, the better opportunity for
871-  parallelising GPT operations but at the cost of more bits being needed
872-  for the bitlock structure. This numeric parameter can take the values
873-  from 0 to 512 and must be a power of 2. The value of 0 is special and
874-  and it chooses a single spinlock for all GPT L1 table entries. Default
875-  value is 1 which corresponds to block size of 512MB per bit of bitlock
876-  structure.
877
878-  ``RME_GPT_MAX_BLOCK``: Numeric value in MB to define the maximum size of
879   supported contiguous blocks in GPT Library. This parameter can take the
880   values 0, 2, 32 and 512. Setting this value to 0 disables use of Contigious
881   descriptors. Default value is 512.
882
883-  ``ROT_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies a
884   file that contains the ROT private key in PEM format or a PKCS11 URI and
885   enforces public key hash generation. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, only a file is
886   accepted and it will be used to save the key.
887
888-  ``SAVE_KEYS``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It tells the
889   certificate generation tool to save the keys used to establish the Chain of
890   Trust. Allowed options are '0' or '1'. Default is '0' (do not save).
891
892-  ``SCP_BL2``: Path to SCP_BL2 image in the host file system. This image is optional.
893   If a SCP_BL2 image is present then this option must be passed for the ``fip``
894   target.
895
896-  ``SCP_BL2_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies a
897   file that contains the SCP_BL2 private key in PEM format or a PKCS11 URI.
898   If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, only a file is accepted and it will be used to save the key.
899
900-  ``SCP_BL2U``: Path to SCP_BL2U image in the host file system. This image is
901   optional. It is only needed if the platform makefile specifies that it
902   is required in order to build the ``fwu_fip`` target.
903
904-  ``SDEI_SUPPORT``: Setting this to ``1`` enables support for Software
905   Delegated Exception Interface to BL31 image. This defaults to ``0``.
906
907   When set to ``1``, the build option ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING`` must also be
908   set to ``1``.
909
910-  ``SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA``: Whether code and read-only data should be
911   isolated on separate memory pages. This is a trade-off between security and
912   memory usage. See "Isolating code and read-only data on separate memory
913   pages" section in :ref:`Firmware Design`. This flag is disabled by default
914   and affects all BL images.
915
916-  ``SEPARATE_NOBITS_REGION``: Setting this option to ``1`` allows the NOBITS
917   sections of BL31 (.bss, stacks, page tables, and coherent memory) to be
918   allocated in RAM discontiguous from the loaded firmware image. When set, the
919   platform is expected to provide definitions for ``BL31_NOBITS_BASE`` and
920   ``BL31_NOBITS_LIMIT``. When the option is ``0`` (the default), NOBITS
921   sections are placed in RAM immediately following the loaded firmware image.
922
923-  ``SEPARATE_BL2_NOLOAD_REGION``: Setting this option to ``1`` allows the
924   NOLOAD sections of BL2 (.bss, stacks, page tables) to be allocated in RAM
925   discontiguous from loaded firmware images. When set, the platform need to
926   provide definitions of ``BL2_NOLOAD_START`` and ``BL2_NOLOAD_LIMIT``. This
927   flag is disabled by default and NOLOAD sections are placed in RAM immediately
928   following the loaded firmware image.
929
930-  ``SEPARATE_SIMD_SECTION``: Setting this option to ``1`` allows the SIMD context
931    data structures to be put in a dedicated memory region as decided by platform
932    integrator. Default value is ``0`` which means the SIMD context is put in BSS
933    section of EL3 firmware.
934
935-  ``SMC_PCI_SUPPORT``: This option allows platforms to handle PCI configuration
936   access requests via a standard SMCCC defined in `DEN0115`_. When combined with
937   UEFI+ACPI this can provide a certain amount of OS forward compatibility
938   with newer platforms that aren't ECAM compliant.
939
940-  ``SPD``: Choose a Secure Payload Dispatcher component to be built into TF-A.
941   This build option is only valid if ``ARCH=aarch64``. The value should be
942   the path to the directory containing the SPD source, relative to
943   ``services/spd/``; the directory is expected to contain a makefile called
944   ``<spd-value>.mk``. The SPM Dispatcher standard service is located in
945   services/std_svc/spmd and enabled by ``SPD=spmd``. The SPM Dispatcher
946   cannot be enabled when the ``SPM_MM`` option is enabled.
947
948-  ``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT``: This option introduces an infinite loop in BL1. It can
949   take either 0 (no loop) or 1 (add a loop). 0 is the default. This loop stops
950   execution in BL1 just before handing over to BL31. At this point, all
951   firmware images have been loaded in memory, and the MMU and caches are
952   turned off. Refer to the "Debugging options" section for more details.
953
954-  ``SPMC_AT_EL3`` : This boolean option is used jointly with the SPM
955   Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``). When enabled (1) it indicates the SPMC
956   component runs at the EL3 exception level. The default value is ``0`` (
957   disabled). This configuration supports pre-Armv8.4 platforms (aka not
958   implementing the ``FEAT_SEL2`` extension).
959
960-  ``SPMC_AT_EL3_SEL0_SP`` : Boolean option to enable SEL0 SP load support when
961   ``SPMC_AT_EL3`` is enabled. The default value if ``0`` (disabled). This
962   option cannot be enabled (``1``) when (``SPMC_AT_EL3``) is disabled.
963
964-  ``SPMC_OPTEE`` : This boolean option is used jointly with the SPM
965   Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``) and with ``SPMD_SPM_AT_SEL2=0`` to
966   indicate that the SPMC at S-EL1 is OP-TEE and an OP-TEE specific loading
967   mechanism should be used.
968
969-  ``SPMD_SPM_AT_SEL2`` : This boolean option is used jointly with the SPM
970   Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``). When enabled (1) it indicates the SPMC
971   component runs at the S-EL2 exception level provided by the ``FEAT_SEL2``
972   extension. This is the default when enabling the SPM Dispatcher. When
973   disabled (0) it indicates the SPMC component runs at the S-EL1 execution
974   state or at EL3 if ``SPMC_AT_EL3`` is enabled. The latter configurations
975   support pre-Armv8.4 platforms (aka not implementing the ``FEAT_SEL2``
976   extension).
977
978-  ``SPM_MM`` : Boolean option to enable the Management Mode (MM)-based Secure
979   Partition Manager (SPM) implementation. The default value is ``0``
980   (disabled). This option cannot be enabled (``1``) when SPM Dispatcher is
981   enabled (``SPD=spmd``).
982
983-  ``SP_LAYOUT_FILE``: Platform provided path to JSON file containing the
984   description of secure partitions. The build system will parse this file and
985   package all secure partition blobs into the FIP. This file is not
986   necessarily part of TF-A tree. Only available when ``SPD=spmd``.
987
988-  ``SP_MIN_WITH_SECURE_FIQ``: Boolean flag to indicate the SP_MIN handles
989   secure interrupts (caught through the FIQ line). Platforms can enable
990   this directive if they need to handle such interruption. When enabled,
991   the FIQ are handled in monitor mode and non secure world is not allowed
992   to mask these events. Platforms that enable FIQ handling in SP_MIN shall
993   implement the api ``sp_min_plat_fiq_handler()``. The default value is 0.
994
995-  ``SVE_VECTOR_LEN``: SVE vector length to configure in ZCR_EL3.
996   Platforms can configure this if they need to lower the hardware
997   limit, for example due to asymmetric configuration or limitations of
998   software run at lower ELs. The default is the architectural maximum
999   of 2048 which should be suitable for most configurations, the
1000   hardware will limit the effective VL to the maximum physically supported
1001   VL.
1002
1003-  ``TRNG_SUPPORT``: Setting this to ``1`` enables support for True
1004   Random Number Generator Interface to BL31 image. This defaults to ``0``.
1005
1006-  ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT``: Boolean flag to include support for the Trusted Board
1007   Boot feature. When set to '1', BL1 and BL2 images include support to load
1008   and verify the certificates and images in a FIP, and BL1 includes support
1009   for the Firmware Update. The default value is '0'. Generation and inclusion
1010   of certificates in the FIP and FWU_FIP depends upon the value of the
1011   ``GENERATE_COT`` option.
1012
1013   .. warning::
1014      This option depends on ``CREATE_KEYS`` to be enabled. If the keys
1015      already exist in disk, they will be overwritten without further notice.
1016
1017-  ``TRUSTED_WORLD_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It
1018   specifies a file that contains the Trusted World private key in PEM
1019   format or a PKCS11 URI. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, only a file is accepted and
1020   it will be used to save the key.
1021
1022-  ``TSP_INIT_ASYNC``: Choose BL32 initialization method as asynchronous or
1023   synchronous, (see "Initializing a BL32 Image" section in
1024   :ref:`Firmware Design`). It can take the value 0 (BL32 is initialized using
1025   synchronous method) or 1 (BL32 is initialized using asynchronous method).
1026   Default is 0.
1027
1028-  ``TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT``: A non zero value enables the interrupt
1029   routing model which routes non-secure interrupts asynchronously from TSP
1030   to EL3 causing immediate preemption of TSP. The EL3 is responsible
1031   for saving and restoring the TSP context in this routing model. The
1032   default routing model (when the value is 0) is to route non-secure
1033   interrupts to TSP allowing it to save its context and hand over
1034   synchronously to EL3 via an SMC.
1035
1036   .. note::
1037      When ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING`` is ``1``, ``TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT``
1038      must also be set to ``1``.
1039
1040-  ``TS_SP_FW_CONFIG``: DTC build flag to include Trusted Services (Crypto and
1041   internal-trusted-storage) as SP in tb_fw_config device tree.
1042
1043-  ``TWED_DELAY``: Numeric value to be set in order to delay the trapping of
1044   WFE instruction. ``ENABLE_FEAT_TWED`` build option must be enabled to set
1045   this delay. It can take values in the range (0-15). Default value is ``0``
1046   and based on this value, 2^(TWED_DELAY + 8) cycles will be delayed.
1047   Platforms need to explicitly update this value based on their requirements.
1048
1049-  ``USE_ARM_LINK``: This flag determines whether to enable support for ARM
1050   linker. When the ``LINKER`` build variable points to the armlink linker,
1051   this flag is enabled automatically. To enable support for armlink, platforms
1052   will have to provide a scatter file for the BL image. Currently, Tegra
1053   platforms use the armlink support to compile BL3-1 images.
1054
1055-  ``USE_COHERENT_MEM``: This flag determines whether to include the coherent
1056   memory region in the BL memory map or not (see "Use of Coherent memory in
1057   TF-A" section in :ref:`Firmware Design`). It can take the value 1
1058   (Coherent memory region is included) or 0 (Coherent memory region is
1059   excluded). Default is 1.
1060
1061-  ``ARM_IO_IN_DTB``: This flag determines whether to use IO based on the
1062   firmware configuration framework. This will move the io_policies into a
1063   configuration device tree, instead of static structure in the code base.
1064
1065-  ``COT_DESC_IN_DTB``: This flag determines whether to create COT descriptors
1066   at runtime using fconf. If this flag is enabled, COT descriptors are
1067   statically captured in tb_fw_config file in the form of device tree nodes
1068   and properties. Currently, COT descriptors used by BL2 are moved to the
1069   device tree and COT descriptors used by BL1 are retained in the code
1070   base statically.
1071
1072-  ``SDEI_IN_FCONF``: This flag determines whether to configure SDEI setup in
1073   runtime using firmware configuration framework. The platform specific SDEI
1074   shared and private events configuration is retrieved from device tree rather
1075   than static C structures at compile time. This is only supported if
1076   SDEI_SUPPORT build flag is enabled.
1077
1078-  ``SEC_INT_DESC_IN_FCONF``: This flag determines whether to configure Group 0
1079   and Group1 secure interrupts using the firmware configuration framework. The
1080   platform specific secure interrupt property descriptor is retrieved from
1081   device tree in runtime rather than depending on static C structure at compile
1082   time.
1083
1084-  ``USE_ROMLIB``: This flag determines whether library at ROM will be used.
1085   This feature creates a library of functions to be placed in ROM and thus
1086   reduces SRAM usage. Refer to :ref:`Library at ROM` for further details. Default
1087   is 0.
1088
1089-  ``V``: Verbose build. If assigned anything other than 0, the build commands
1090   are printed. Default is 0.
1091
1092-  ``VERSION_STRING``: String used in the log output for each TF-A image.
1093   Defaults to a string formed by concatenating the version number, build type
1094   and build string.
1095
1096-  ``W``: Warning level. Some compiler warning options of interest have been
1097   regrouped and put in the root Makefile. This flag can take the values 0 to 3,
1098   each level enabling more warning options. Default is 0.
1099
1100   This option is closely related to the ``E`` option, which enables
1101   ``-Werror``.
1102
1103   - ``W=0`` (default)
1104
1105     Enables a wide assortment of warnings, most notably ``-Wall`` and
1106     ``-Wextra``, as well as various bad practices and things that are likely to
1107     result in errors. Includes some compiler specific flags. No warnings are
1108     expected at this level for any build.
1109
1110   - ``W=1``
1111
1112     Enables warnings we want the generic build to include but are too time
1113     consuming to fix at the moment. It re-enables warnings taken out for
1114     ``W=0`` builds (a few of the ``-Wextra`` additions). This level is expected
1115     to eventually be merged into ``W=0``. Some warnings are expected on some
1116     builds, but new contributions should not introduce new ones.
1117
1118   - ``W=2`` (recommended)
1119
1120    Enables warnings we want the generic build to include but cannot be enabled
1121    due to external libraries. This level is expected to eventually be merged
1122    into ``W=0``. Lots of warnings are expected, primarily from external
1123    libraries like zlib and compiler-rt, but new controbutions should not
1124    introduce new ones.
1125
1126   - ``W=3``
1127
1128     Enables warnings that are informative but not necessary and generally too
1129     verbose and frequently ignored. A very large number of warnings are
1130     expected.
1131
1132   The exact set of warning flags depends on the compiler and TF-A warning
1133   level, however they are all succinctly set in the top-level Makefile. Please
1134   refer to the `GCC`_ or `Clang`_ documentation for more information on the
1135   individual flags.
1136
1137-  ``WARMBOOT_ENABLE_DCACHE_EARLY`` : Boolean option to enable D-cache early on
1138   the CPU after warm boot. This is applicable for platforms which do not
1139   require interconnect programming to enable cache coherency (eg: single
1140   cluster platforms). If this option is enabled, then warm boot path
1141   enables D-caches immediately after enabling MMU. This option defaults to 0.
1142
1143-  ``SUPPORT_STACK_MEMTAG``: This flag determines whether to enable memory
1144   tagging for stack or not. It accepts 2 values: ``yes`` and ``no``. The
1145   default value of this flag is ``no``. Note this option must be enabled only
1146   for ARM architecture greater than Armv8.5-A.
1147
1148-  ``ERRATA_SPECULATIVE_AT``: This flag determines whether to enable ``AT``
1149   speculative errata workaround or not. It accepts 2 values: ``1`` and ``0``.
1150   The default value of this flag is ``0``.
1151
1152   ``AT`` speculative errata workaround disables stage1 page table walk for
1153   lower ELs (EL1 and EL0) in EL3 so that ``AT`` speculative fetch at any point
1154   produces either the correct result or failure without TLB allocation.
1155
1156   This boolean option enables errata for all below CPUs.
1157
1158   +---------+--------------+-------------------------+
1159   | Errata  |      CPU     |     Workaround Define   |
1160   +=========+==============+=========================+
1161   | 1165522 |  Cortex-A76  |  ``ERRATA_A76_1165522`` |

1170   +---------+--------------+-------------------------+
1171
1172   .. note::
1173      This option is enabled by build only if platform sets any of above defines
1174      mentioned in ’Workaround Define' column in the table.
1175      If this option is enabled for the EL3 software then EL2 software also must
1176      implement this workaround due to the behaviour of the errata mentioned
1177      in new SDEN document which will get published soon.
1178
1179- ``RAS_TRAP_NS_ERR_REC_ACCESS``: This flag enables/disables the SCR_EL3.TERR
1180  bit, to trap access to the RAS ERR and RAS ERX registers from lower ELs.
1181  This flag is disabled by default.
1182
1183- ``OPENSSL_DIR``: This option is used to provide the path to a directory on the
1184  host machine where a custom installation of OpenSSL is located, which is used
1185  to build the certificate generation, firmware encryption and FIP tools. If
1186  this option is not set, the default OS installation will be used.
1187
1188- ``USE_SP804_TIMER``: Use the SP804 timer instead of the Generic Timer for
1189  functions that wait for an arbitrary time length (udelay and mdelay). The
1190  default value is 0.
1191
1192- ``ENABLE_BRBE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable access to the branch record
1193  buffer registers from NS ELs when FEAT_BRBE is implemented. BRBE is an
1194  optional architectural feature for AArch64. This flag can take the values
1195  0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. The default is 0
1196  and it is automatically disabled when the target architecture is AArch32.
1197
1198- ``ENABLE_TRBE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable access of trace buffer
1199  control registers from NS ELs, NS-EL2 or NS-EL1(when NS-EL2 is implemented
1200  but unused) when FEAT_TRBE is implemented. TRBE is an optional architectural
1201  feature for AArch64. This flag can take the values  0 to 2, to align with the
1202  ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. The default is 0 and it is automatically
1203  disabled when the target architecture is AArch32.
1204
1205- ``ENABLE_SYS_REG_TRACE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable trace system
1206  registers access from NS ELs, NS-EL2 or NS-EL1 (when NS-EL2 is implemented
1207  but unused). This feature is available if trace unit such as ETMv4.x, and
1208  ETE(extending ETM feature) is implemented. This flag can take the values
1209  0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. The default is 0.
1210
1211- ``ENABLE_TRF_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable trace filter control registers
1212  access from NS ELs, NS-EL2 or NS-EL1 (when NS-EL2 is implemented but unused),
1213  if FEAT_TRF is implemented. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align
1214  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. This flag is disabled by default.
1215
1216- ``CONDITIONAL_CMO``: Boolean option to enable call to platform-defined routine
1217  ``plat_can_cmo`` which will return zero if cache management operations should
1218  be skipped and non-zero otherwise. By default, this option is disabled which
1219  means platform hook won't be checked and CMOs will always be performed when
1220  related functions are called.
1221
1222- ``ERRATA_ABI_SUPPORT``: Boolean option to enable support for Errata management
1223  firmware interface for the BL31 image. By default its disabled (``0``).
1224
1225- ``ERRATA_NON_ARM_INTERCONNECT``: Boolean option to enable support for the
1226  errata mitigation for platforms with a non-arm interconnect using the errata
1227  ABI. By default its disabled (``0``).
1228
1229- ``ENABLE_CONSOLE_GETC``: Boolean option to enable `getc()` feature in console
1230  driver(s). By default it is disabled (``0``) because it constitutes an attack
1231  vector into TF-A by potentially allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary data.
1232  This option should only be enabled on a need basis if there is a use case for
1233  reading characters from the console.
1234
1235GICv3 driver options
1236--------------------
1237
1238GICv3 driver files are included using directive:
1239
1240``include drivers/arm/gic/v3/gicv3.mk``
1241
1242The driver can be configured with the following options set in the platform
1243makefile:
1244
1245-  ``GICV3_SUPPORT_GIC600``: Add support for the GIC-600 variants of GICv3.
1246   Enabling this option will add runtime detection support for the
1247   GIC-600, so is safe to select even for a GIC500 implementation.
1248   This option defaults to 0.
1249
1250- ``GICV3_SUPPORT_GIC600AE_FMU``: Add support for the Fault Management Unit
1251   for GIC-600 AE. Enabling this option will introduce support to initialize
1252   the FMU. Platforms should call the init function during boot to enable the
1253   FMU and its safety mechanisms. This option defaults to 0.
1254
1255-  ``GICV3_IMPL_GIC600_MULTICHIP``: Selects GIC-600 variant with multichip
1256   functionality. This option defaults to 0
1257
1258-  ``GICV3_OVERRIDE_DISTIF_PWR_OPS``: Allows override of default implementation
1259   of ``arm_gicv3_distif_pre_save`` and ``arm_gicv3_distif_post_restore``
1260   functions. This is required for FVP platform which need to simulate GIC save
1261   and restore during SYSTEM_SUSPEND without powering down GIC. Default is 0.
1262
1263-  ``GIC_ENABLE_V4_EXTN`` : Enables GICv4 related changes in GICv3 driver.
1264   This option defaults to 0.
1265
1266-  ``GIC_EXT_INTID``: When set to ``1``, GICv3 driver will support extended
1267   PPI (1056-1119) and SPI (4096-5119) range. This option defaults to 0.
1268
1269Debugging options
1270-----------------
1271
1272To compile a debug version and make the build more verbose use
1273
1274.. code:: shell
1275
1276    make PLAT=<platform> DEBUG=1 V=1 all
1277
1278AArch64 GCC 11 uses DWARF version 5 debugging symbols by default. Some tools
1279(for example Arm-DS) might not support this and may need an older version of
1280DWARF symbols to be emitted by GCC. This can be achieved by using the
1281``-gdwarf-<version>`` flag, with the version being set to 2, 3, 4 or 5. Setting
1282the version to 4 is recommended for Arm-DS.
1283
1284When debugging logic problems it might also be useful to disable all compiler
1285optimizations by using ``-O0``.
1286
1287.. warning::
1288   Using ``-O0`` could cause output images to be larger and base addresses
1289   might need to be recalculated (see the **Memory layout on Arm development
1290   platforms** section in the :ref:`Firmware Design`).
1291
1292Extra debug options can be passed to the build system by setting ``CFLAGS`` or
1293``LDFLAGS``:
1294
1295.. code:: shell
1296
1297    CFLAGS='-O0 -gdwarf-2'                                     \
1298    make PLAT=<platform> DEBUG=1 V=1 all
1299
1300Note that using ``-Wl,`` style compilation driver options in ``CFLAGS`` will be
1301ignored as the linker is called directly.
1302
1303It is also possible to introduce an infinite loop to help in debugging the
1304post-BL2 phase of TF-A. This can be done by rebuilding BL1 with the
1305``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT=1`` build flag. Refer to the :ref:`build_options_common`
1306section. In this case, the developer may take control of the target using a
1307debugger when indicated by the console output. When using Arm-DS, the following
1308commands can be used:
1309
1310::
1311
1312    # Stop target execution
1313    interrupt
1314
1315    #
1316    # Prepare your debugging environment, e.g. set breakpoints
1317    #
1318
1319    # Jump over the debug loop
1320    set var $AARCH64::$Core::$PC = $AARCH64::$Core::$PC + 4
1321
1322    # Resume execution
1323    continue
1324

1326
1327Experimental build options
1328---------------------------
1329
1330Common build options
1331~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1332
1333-  ``DICE_PROTECTION_ENVIRONMENT``: Boolean flag to specify the measured boot
1334   backend when ``MEASURED_BOOT`` is enabled. The default value is ``0``. When
1335   set to ``1`` then measurements and additional metadata collected during the
1336   measured boot process are sent to the DICE Protection Environment for storage
1337   and processing. A certificate chain, which represents the boot state of the
1338   device, can be queried from the DPE.
1339
1340-  ``DRTM_SUPPORT``: Boolean flag to enable support for Dynamic Root of Trust
1341   for Measurement (DRTM). This feature has trust dependency on BL31 for taking
1342   the measurements and recording them as per `PSA DRTM specification`_. For
1343   platforms which use BL2 to load/authenticate BL31 ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` can
1344   be used and for the platforms which use ``RESET_TO_BL31`` platform owners
1345   should have mechanism to authenticate BL31. This option defaults to 0.
1346
1347-  ``ENABLE_RME``: Numeric value to enable support for the ARMv9 Realm
1348   Management Extension. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with
1349   the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. Default value is 0.
1350
1351-  ``RMMD_ENABLE_EL3_TOKEN_SIGN``: Numeric value to enable support for singing
1352   realm attestation token signing requests in EL3. This flag can take the
1353   values 0 and 1. The default value is ``0``. When set to ``1``, this option
1354   enables additional RMMD SMCs to push and pop requests for signing to
1355   EL3 along with platform hooks that must be implemented to service those
1356   requests and responses.
1357
1358-  ``ENABLE_SME_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable Scalable Matrix Extension
1359   (SME), SVE, and FPU/SIMD for the non-secure world only. These features share
1360   registers so are enabled together. Using this option without
1361   ENABLE_SME_FOR_SWD=1 will cause SME, SVE, and FPU/SIMD instructions in secure
1362   world to trap to EL3. Requires ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS`` to be set as SME is a
1363   superset of SVE. SME is an optional architectural feature for AArch64.
1364   At this time, this build option cannot be used on systems that have
1365   SPD=spmd/SPM_MM and atempting to build with this option will fail.
1366   This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
1367   mechanism. Default is 0.
1368
1369-  ``ENABLE_SME2_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable Scalable Matrix Extension
1370   version 2 (SME2) for the non-secure world only. SME2 is an optional
1371   architectural feature for AArch64.
1372   This should be set along with ENABLE_SME_FOR_NS=1, if not, the default SME
1373   accesses will still be trapped. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to
1374   align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. Default is 0.
1375
1376-  ``ENABLE_SME_FOR_SWD``: Boolean option to enable the Scalable Matrix
1377   Extension for secure world. Used along with SVE and FPU/SIMD.
1378   ENABLE_SME_FOR_NS and ENABLE_SVE_FOR_SWD must also be set to use this.
1379   Default is 0.
1380
1381-  ``ENABLE_SPMD_LP`` : This boolean option is used jointly with the SPM
1382   Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``). When enabled (1) it indicates support
1383   for logical partitions in EL3, managed by the SPMD as defined in the
1384   FF-A v1.2 specification. This flag is disabled by default. This flag
1385   must not be used if ``SPMC_AT_EL3`` is enabled.
1386
1387-  ``FEATURE_DETECTION``: Boolean option to enable the architectural features
1388   verification mechanism. This is a debug feature that compares the
1389   architectural features enabled through the feature specific build flags
1390   (ENABLE_FEAT_xxx) with the features actually available on the CPU running,
1391   and reports any discrepancies.
1392   This flag will also enable errata ordering checking for ``DEBUG`` builds.
1393
1394   It is expected that this feature is only used for flexible platforms like
1395   software emulators, or for hardware platforms at bringup time, to verify
1396   that the configured feature set matches the CPU.
1397   The ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` macro is disabled by default.
1398
1399-  ``PSA_CRYPTO``: Boolean option for enabling MbedTLS PSA crypto APIs support.
1400   The platform will use PSA compliant Crypto APIs during authentication and
1401   image measurement process by enabling this option. It uses APIs defined as
1402   per the `PSA Crypto API specification`_. This feature is only supported if
1403   using MbedTLS 3.x version. It is disabled (``0``) by default.
1404
1405-  ``TRANSFER_LIST``: Setting this to ``1`` enables support for Firmware
1406   Handoff using Transfer List defined in `Firmware Handoff specification`_.
1407   This defaults to ``0``. Current implementation follows the Firmware Handoff
1408   specification v0.9.
1409
1410-  ``USE_DEBUGFS``: When set to 1 this option exposes a virtual filesystem
1411   interface through BL31 as a SiP SMC function.
1412   Default is disabled (0).
1413
1414Firmware update options
1415~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1416
1417-  ``PSA_FWU_SUPPORT``: Enable the firmware update mechanism as per the
1418   `PSA FW update specification`_. The default value is 0.
1419   PSA firmware update implementation has few limitations, such as:
1420
1421   -  BL2 is not part of the protocol-updatable images. If BL2 needs to
1422      be updated, then it should be done through another platform-defined
1423      mechanism.
1424
1425   -  It assumes the platform's hardware supports CRC32 instructions.
1426
1427-  ``NR_OF_FW_BANKS``: Define the number of firmware banks. This flag is used
1428   in defining the firmware update metadata structure. This flag is by default
1429   set to '2'.
1430
1431-  ``NR_OF_IMAGES_IN_FW_BANK``: Define the number of firmware images in each
1432   firmware bank. Each firmware bank must have the same number of images as per
1433   the `PSA FW update specification`_.
1434   This flag is used in defining the firmware update metadata structure. This
1435   flag is by default set to '1'.
1436
1437- ``PSA_FWU_METADATA_FW_STORE_DESC``: To be enabled when the FWU
1438   metadata contains image description. The default value is 1.
1439
1440   The version 2 of the FWU metadata allows for an opaque metadata
1441   structure where a platform can choose to not include the firmware
1442   store description in the metadata structure. This option indicates
1443   if the firmware store description, which provides information on
1444   the updatable images is part of the structure.
