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.

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

310   extension. It allows access to the SCXTNUM_EL2 (Software Context Number)
311   register during EL2 context save/restore operations. ``FEAT_CSV2_2`` is an
312   optional feature available on Arm v8.0 onwards. This flag can take values
313   0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism.
314   Default value is ``0``.
315
316-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_CSV2_3``: Numeric value to enable support for ``FEAT_CSV2_3``
317   extension. This feature is supported in AArch64 state only and is an optional
318   feature available in Arm v8.0 implementations.
319   ``FEAT_CSV2_3`` implies the implementation of ``FEAT_CSV2_2``.
320   The flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
321   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
322
323- ``ENABLE_FEAT_DEBUGV8P9``: Numeric value to enable ``FEAT_DEBUGV8P9``
324   extension which allows the ability to implement more than 16 breakpoints
325   and/or watchpoints. This feature is mandatory from v8.9 and is optional
326   from v8.8. This flag can take the values of 0 to 2, to align with the
327   ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
328
329-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_DIT``: Numeric value to enable ``FEAT_DIT`` (Data Independent
330   Timing) extension. It allows setting the ``DIT`` bit of PSTATE in EL3.
331   ``FEAT_DIT`` is a mandatory  architectural feature and is enabled from v8.4
332   and upwards. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the
333   ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
334
335-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_ECV``: Numeric value to enable support for the Enhanced Counter
336   Virtualization feature, allowing for access to the CNTPOFF_EL2 (Counter-timer
337   Physical Offset register) during EL2 to EL3 context save/restore operations.
338   Its a mandatory architectural feature and is enabled from v8.6 and upwards.

350   allow access to HCRX_EL2 (extended hypervisor control register) from EL2 as
351   well as adding HCRX_EL2 to the EL2 context save/restore operations. Its a
352   mandatory architectural feature and is enabled from v8.7 and upwards. This
353   flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
354   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
355
356-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_MTE2``: Numeric value to enable Memory Tagging Extension2
357   if the platform wants to use this feature and MTE2 is enabled at ELX.
358   This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
359   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
360
361-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_PAN``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_PAN`` (Privileged
362   Access Never) extension. ``FEAT_PAN`` adds a bit to PSTATE, generating a
363   permission fault for any privileged data access from EL1/EL2 to virtual
364   memory address, accessible at EL0, provided (HCR_EL2.E2H=1). It is a
365   mandatory architectural feature and is enabled from v8.1 and upwards. This
366   flag can take values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
367   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
368
369-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_RNG``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_RNG`` extension.

372   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
373
374-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_RNG_TRAP``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_RNG_TRAP``
375   extension. This feature is only supported in AArch64 state. This flag can
376   take values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism.
377   Default value is ``0``. ``FEAT_RNG_TRAP`` is an optional feature from
378   Armv8.5 onwards.
379
380-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_SB``: Boolean option to let the TF-A code use the ``FEAT_SB``
381   (Speculation Barrier) instruction ``FEAT_SB`` is an optional feature and
382   defaults to ``0`` for pre-Armv8.5 CPUs, but is mandatory for Armv8.5 or
383   later CPUs. It is enabled from v8.5 and upwards and if needed can be
384   overidden from platforms explicitly.
385
386-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_SEL2``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_SEL2`` (Secure EL2)
387   extension. ``FEAT_SEL2`` is a mandatory feature available on Arm v8.4.

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

1111   +---------+--------------+-------------------------+
1112
1113   .. note::
1114      This option is enabled by build only if platform sets any of above defines
1115      mentioned in ’Workaround Define' column in the table.
1116      If this option is enabled for the EL3 software then EL2 software also must
1117      implement this workaround due to the behaviour of the errata mentioned
1118      in new SDEN document which will get published soon.
1119
1120- ``RAS_TRAP_NS_ERR_REC_ACCESS``: This flag enables/disables the SCR_EL3.TERR
1121  bit, to trap access to the RAS ERR and RAS ERX registers from lower ELs.
1122  This flag is disabled by default.
1123
1124- ``OPENSSL_DIR``: This option is used to provide the path to a directory on the
1125  host machine where a custom installation of OpenSSL is located, which is used
1126  to build the certificate generation, firmware encryption and FIP tools. If
1127  this option is not set, the default OS installation will be used.
1128
1129- ``USE_SP804_TIMER``: Use the SP804 timer instead of the Generic Timer for
1130  functions that wait for an arbitrary time length (udelay and mdelay). The
1131  default value is 0.
1132
1133- ``ENABLE_BRBE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable access to the branch record
1134  buffer registers from NS ELs when FEAT_BRBE is implemented. BRBE is an
1135  optional architectural feature for AArch64. This flag can take the values
1136  0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. The default is 0
1137  and it is automatically disabled when the target architecture is AArch32.
1138
1139- ``ENABLE_TRBE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable access of trace buffer
1140  control registers from NS ELs, NS-EL2 or NS-EL1(when NS-EL2 is implemented
1141  but unused) when FEAT_TRBE is implemented. TRBE is an optional architectural
1142  feature for AArch64. This flag can take the values  0 to 2, to align with the
1143  ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. The default is 0 and it is automatically
1144  disabled when the target architecture is AArch32.
1145
1146- ``ENABLE_SYS_REG_TRACE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable trace system
1147  registers access from NS ELs, NS-EL2 or NS-EL1 (when NS-EL2 is implemented
1148  but unused). This feature is available if trace unit such as ETMv4.x, and
1149  ETE(extending ETM feature) is implemented. This flag can take the values
1150  0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. The default is 0.
1151
1152- ``ENABLE_TRF_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable trace filter control registers
1153  access from NS ELs, NS-EL2 or NS-EL1 (when NS-EL2 is implemented but unused),
1154  if FEAT_TRF is implemented. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align
1155  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. This flag is disabled by default.
1156
1157- ``CONDITIONAL_CMO``: Boolean option to enable call to platform-defined routine
1158  ``plat_can_cmo`` which will return zero if cache management operations should
1159  be skipped and non-zero otherwise. By default, this option is disabled which
1160  means platform hook won't be checked and CMOs will always be performed when
1161  related functions are called.
1162
1163- ``ERRATA_ABI_SUPPORT``: Boolean option to enable support for Errata management
1164  firmware interface for the BL31 image. By default its disabled (``0``).
1165
1166- ``ERRATA_NON_ARM_INTERCONNECT``: Boolean option to enable support for the
1167  errata mitigation for platforms with a non-arm interconnect using the errata
1168  ABI. By default its disabled (``0``).
1169
1170- ``ENABLE_CONSOLE_GETC``: Boolean option to enable `getc()` feature in console
1171  driver(s). By default it is disabled (``0``) because it constitutes an attack
1172  vector into TF-A by potentially allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary data.
1173  This option should only be enabled on a need basis if there is a use case for
1174  reading characters from the console.
1175
1176GICv3 driver options
1177--------------------
1178
1179GICv3 driver files are included using directive:
1180
1181``include drivers/arm/gic/v3/gicv3.mk``
1182
1183The driver can be configured with the following options set in the platform
1184makefile:
1185
1186-  ``GICV3_SUPPORT_GIC600``: Add support for the GIC-600 variants of GICv3.
1187   Enabling this option will add runtime detection support for the
1188   GIC-600, so is safe to select even for a GIC500 implementation.
1189   This option defaults to 0.
1190
1191- ``GICV3_SUPPORT_GIC600AE_FMU``: Add support for the Fault Management Unit
1192   for GIC-600 AE. Enabling this option will introduce support to initialize
1193   the FMU. Platforms should call the init function during boot to enable the
1194   FMU and its safety mechanisms. This option defaults to 0.
1195
1196-  ``GICV3_IMPL_GIC600_MULTICHIP``: Selects GIC-600 variant with multichip
1197   functionality. This option defaults to 0
1198
1199-  ``GICV3_OVERRIDE_DISTIF_PWR_OPS``: Allows override of default implementation
1200   of ``arm_gicv3_distif_pre_save`` and ``arm_gicv3_distif_post_restore``
1201   functions. This is required for FVP platform which need to simulate GIC save
1202   and restore during SYSTEM_SUSPEND without powering down GIC. Default is 0.
1203
1204-  ``GIC_ENABLE_V4_EXTN`` : Enables GICv4 related changes in GICv3 driver.
1205   This option defaults to 0.
1206
1207-  ``GIC_EXT_INTID``: When set to ``1``, GICv3 driver will support extended
1208   PPI (1056-1119) and SPI (4096-5119) range. This option defaults to 0.
1209
1210Debugging options
1211-----------------
1212
1213To compile a debug version and make the build more verbose use
1214
1215.. code:: shell
1216
1217    make PLAT=<platform> DEBUG=1 V=1 all
1218
1219AArch64 GCC 11 uses DWARF version 5 debugging symbols by default. Some tools
1220(for example Arm-DS) might not support this and may need an older version of
1221DWARF symbols to be emitted by GCC. This can be achieved by using the
1222``-gdwarf-<version>`` flag, with the version being set to 2, 3, 4 or 5. Setting
1223the version to 4 is recommended for Arm-DS.
1224
1225When debugging logic problems it might also be useful to disable all compiler
1226optimizations by using ``-O0``.
1227
1228.. warning::
1229   Using ``-O0`` could cause output images to be larger and base addresses
1230   might need to be recalculated (see the **Memory layout on Arm development
1231   platforms** section in the :ref:`Firmware Design`).
1232
1233Extra debug options can be passed to the build system by setting ``CFLAGS`` or
1234``LDFLAGS``:
1235
1236.. code:: shell
1237
1238    CFLAGS='-O0 -gdwarf-2'                                     \
1239    make PLAT=<platform> DEBUG=1 V=1 all
1240
1241Note that using ``-Wl,`` style compilation driver options in ``CFLAGS`` will be
1242ignored as the linker is called directly.
1243
1244It is also possible to introduce an infinite loop to help in debugging the
1245post-BL2 phase of TF-A. This can be done by rebuilding BL1 with the
1246``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT=1`` build flag. Refer to the :ref:`build_options_common`
1247section. In this case, the developer may take control of the target using a
1248debugger when indicated by the console output. When using Arm-DS, the following
1249commands can be used:
1250
1251::
1252
1253    # Stop target execution
1254    interrupt
1255
1256    #
1257    # Prepare your debugging environment, e.g. set breakpoints
1258    #
1259
1260    # Jump over the debug loop
1261    set var $AARCH64::$Core::$PC = $AARCH64::$Core::$PC + 4
1262
1263    # Resume execution
1264    continue

1267
1268Experimental build options
1269---------------------------
1270
1271Common build options
1272~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1273
1274-  ``DICE_PROTECTION_ENVIRONMENT``: Boolean flag to specify the measured boot
1275   backend when ``MEASURED_BOOT`` is enabled. The default value is ``0``. When
1276   set to ``1`` then measurements and additional metadata collected during the
1277   measured boot process are sent to the DICE Protection Environment for storage
1278   and processing. A certificate chain, which represents the boot state of the
1279   device, can be queried from the DPE.
1280
1281-  ``DRTM_SUPPORT``: Boolean flag to enable support for Dynamic Root of Trust
1282   for Measurement (DRTM). This feature has trust dependency on BL31 for taking
1283   the measurements and recording them as per `PSA DRTM specification`_. For
1284   platforms which use BL2 to load/authenticate BL31 ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` can
1285   be used and for the platforms which use ``RESET_TO_BL31`` platform owners
1286   should have mechanism to authenticate BL31. This option defaults to 0.
1287
1288-  ``ENABLE_RME``: Numeric value to enable support for the ARMv9 Realm
1289   Management Extension. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with
1290   the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. Default value is 0.
1291
1292-  ``ENABLE_SME_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable Scalable Matrix Extension
1293   (SME), SVE, and FPU/SIMD for the non-secure world only. These features share
1294   registers so are enabled together. Using this option without
1295   ENABLE_SME_FOR_SWD=1 will cause SME, SVE, and FPU/SIMD instructions in secure
1296   world to trap to EL3. Requires ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS`` to be set as SME is a
1297   superset of SVE. SME is an optional architectural feature for AArch64.
1298   At this time, this build option cannot be used on systems that have
1299   SPD=spmd/SPM_MM and atempting to build with this option will fail.
1300   This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
1301   mechanism. Default is 0.
1302
1303-  ``ENABLE_SME2_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable Scalable Matrix Extension
1304   version 2 (SME2) for the non-secure world only. SME2 is an optional
1305   architectural feature for AArch64.
1306   This should be set along with ENABLE_SME_FOR_NS=1, if not, the default SME
1307   accesses will still be trapped. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to
1308   align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. Default is 0.
1309
1310-  ``ENABLE_SME_FOR_SWD``: Boolean option to enable the Scalable Matrix
1311   Extension for secure world. Used along with SVE and FPU/SIMD.
1312   ENABLE_SME_FOR_NS and ENABLE_SVE_FOR_SWD must also be set to use this.
1313   Default is 0.
1314
1315-  ``ENABLE_SPMD_LP`` : This boolean option is used jointly with the SPM
1316   Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``). When enabled (1) it indicates support
1317   for logical partitions in EL3, managed by the SPMD as defined in the
1318   FF-A v1.2 specification. This flag is disabled by default. This flag
1319   must not be used if ``SPMC_AT_EL3`` is enabled.
1320
1321-  ``FEATURE_DETECTION``: Boolean option to enable the architectural features
1322   verification mechanism. This is a debug feature that compares the
1323   architectural features enabled through the feature specific build flags
1324   (ENABLE_FEAT_xxx) with the features actually available on the CPU running,
1325   and reports any discrepancies.
1326   This flag will also enable errata ordering checking for ``DEBUG`` builds.
1327
1328   It is expected that this feature is only used for flexible platforms like
1329   software emulators, or for hardware platforms at bringup time, to verify
1330   that the configured feature set matches the CPU.
1331   The ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` macro is disabled by default.
1332
1333-  ``PSA_CRYPTO``: Boolean option for enabling MbedTLS PSA crypto APIs support.
1334   The platform will use PSA compliant Crypto APIs during authentication and
1335   image measurement process by enabling this option. It uses APIs defined as
1336   per the `PSA Crypto API specification`_. This feature is only supported if
1337   using MbedTLS 3.x version. It is disabled (``0``) by default.
1338
1339-  ``TRANSFER_LIST``: Setting this to ``1`` enables support for Firmware
1340   Handoff using Transfer List defined in `Firmware Handoff specification`_.
1341   This defaults to ``0``. Current implementation follows the Firmware Handoff
1342   specification v0.9.
1343
1344-  ``USE_DEBUGFS``: When set to 1 this option exposes a virtual filesystem
1345   interface through BL31 as a SiP SMC function.
1346   Default is disabled (0).
1347
1348Firmware update options
1349~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1350
1351-  ``PSA_FWU_SUPPORT``: Enable the firmware update mechanism as per the
1352   `PSA FW update specification`_. The default value is 0.
1353   PSA firmware update implementation has few limitations, such as:
1354
1355   -  BL2 is not part of the protocol-updatable images. If BL2 needs to
1356      be updated, then it should be done through another platform-defined
1357      mechanism.
1358
1359   -  It assumes the platform's hardware supports CRC32 instructions.
1360
1361-  ``NR_OF_FW_BANKS``: Define the number of firmware banks. This flag is used
1362   in defining the firmware update metadata structure. This flag is by default
1363   set to '2'.
1364
1365-  ``NR_OF_IMAGES_IN_FW_BANK``: Define the number of firmware images in each
1366   firmware bank. Each firmware bank must have the same number of images as per
1367   the `PSA FW update specification`_.
1368   This flag is used in defining the firmware update metadata structure. This
1369   flag is by default set to '1'.
1370
1371- ``PSA_FWU_METADATA_FW_STORE_DESC``: To be enabled when the FWU
1372   metadata contains image description. The default value is 1.
1373
1374   The version 2 of the FWU metadata allows for an opaque metadata
1375   structure where a platform can choose to not include the firmware
1376   store description in the metadata structure. This option indicates
1377   if the firmware store description, which provides information on
1378   the updatable images is part of the structure.
