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. 10 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.

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 OPTIONAL from Armv8.0 implementations 476 and mandatory in Armv8.9 implementations. 477 This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` 478 mechanism. Default value is ``0``. 479 480- ``ENABLE_FEAT_D128``: Numeric value to enable support for FEAT_D128 481 at EL2 and below, setting the bit SCT_EL3.D128En in EL3 to allow access to 482 128 bit version of system registers like PAR_EL1, TTBR0_EL1, TTBR1_EL1, 483 TTBR0_EL2, TTBR1_EL2, TTBR0_EL12, TTBR1_EL12 , VTTBR_EL2, RCWMASK_EL1, and 484 RCWSMASK_EL1. Its an optional architectural feature and is available from 485 9.3 and upwards. 486 This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` 487 mechanism. Default value is ``0``. 488 489- ``ENABLE_LTO``: Boolean option to enable Link Time Optimization (LTO) 490 support in GCC for TF-A. This option is currently only supported for 491 AArch64. Default is 0. 492 493- ``ENABLE_FEAT_MPAM``: Numeric value to enable lower ELs to use MPAM 494 feature. MPAM is an optional Armv8.4 extension that enables various memory 495 system components and resources to define partitions; software running at 496 various ELs can assign themselves to desired partition to control their 497 performance aspects. 498 499 This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` 500 mechanism. When this option is set to ``1`` or ``2``, EL3 allows lower ELs to 501 access their own MPAM registers without trapping into EL3. This option 502 doesn't make use of partitioning in EL3, however. Platform initialisation 503 code should configure and use partitions in EL3 as required. This option 504 defaults to ``2`` since MPAM is enabled by default for NS world only. 505 The flag is automatically disabled when the target 506 architecture is AArch32. 507 508- ``ENABLE_FEAT_LS64_ACCDATA``: Numeric value to enable access and save and 509 restore the ACCDATA_EL1 system register, at EL2 and below. This flag can 510 take the values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. 511 Default value is ``0``. 512 513- ``ENABLE_MPMM``: Boolean option to enable support for the Maximum Power 514 Mitigation Mechanism supported by certain Arm cores, which allows the SoC 515 firmware to detect and limit high activity events to assist in SoC processor 516 power domain dynamic power budgeting and limit the triggering of whole-rail 517 (i.e. clock chopping) responses to overcurrent conditions. Defaults to ``0``. 518 519- ``ENABLE_MPMM_FCONF``: Enables configuration of MPMM through FCONF, which 520 allows platforms with cores supporting MPMM to describe them via the 521 ``HW_CONFIG`` device tree blob. Default is 0. 522 523- ``ENABLE_PIE``: Boolean option to enable Position Independent Executable(PIE) 524 support within generic code in TF-A. This option is currently only supported 525 in BL2, BL31, and BL32 (TSP) for AARCH64 binaries, and 526 in BL32 (SP_min) for AARCH32. Default is 0. 527 528- ``ENABLE_PMF``: Boolean option to enable support for optional Performance 529 Measurement Framework(PMF). Default is 0. 530 531- ``ENABLE_PSCI_STAT``: Boolean option to enable support for optional PSCI 532 functions ``PSCI_STAT_RESIDENCY`` and ``PSCI_STAT_COUNT``. Default is 0. 533 In the absence of an alternate stat collection backend, ``ENABLE_PMF`` must 534 be enabled. If ``ENABLE_PMF`` is set, the residency statistics are tracked in 535 software. 536 537- ``ENABLE_RUNTIME_INSTRUMENTATION``: Boolean option to enable runtime 538 instrumentation which injects timestamp collection points into TF-A to 539 allow runtime performance to be measured. Currently, only PSCI is 540 instrumented. Enabling this option enables the ``ENABLE_PMF`` build option 541 as well. Default is 0. 542 543- ``ENABLE_SPE_FOR_NS`` : Numeric value to enable Statistical Profiling 544 extensions. This is an optional architectural feature for AArch64. 545 This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` 546 mechanism. The default is 2 but is automatically disabled when the target 547 architecture is AArch32. 548 549- ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable Scalable Vector Extension 550 (SVE) for the Non-secure world only. SVE is an optional architectural feature 551 for AArch64. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the 552 ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. At this time, this build option cannot be used on 553 systems that have SPM_MM enabled. The default value is 2. 554 555 Note that when SVE is enabled for the Non-secure world, access 556 to SVE, SIMD and floating-point functionality from the Secure world is 557 independently controlled by build option ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_SWD``. When enabling 558 ``CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS`` and ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS`` together, it is mandatory to 559 enable ``CTX_INCLUDE_SVE_REGS``. This is to avoid corruption of the Non-secure 560 world data in the Z-registers which are aliased by the SIMD and FP registers. 561 562- ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_SWD``: Boolean option to enable SVE and FPU/SIMD functionality 563 for the Secure world. SVE is an optional architectural feature for AArch64. 564 The default is 0 and it is automatically disabled when the target architecture 565 is AArch32. 566 567 .. note:: 568 This build flag requires ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS`` to be enabled. When enabling 569 ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_SWD``, a developer must carefully consider whether 570 ``CTX_INCLUDE_SVE_REGS`` is also needed. 571 572- ``ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR``: String option to enable the stack protection 573 checks in GCC. Allowed values are "all", "strong", "default" and "none". The 574 default value is set to "none". "strong" is the recommended stack protection 575 level if this feature is desired. "none" disables the stack protection. For 576 all values other than "none", the ``plat_get_stack_protector_canary()`` 577 platform hook needs to be implemented. The value is passed as the last 578 component of the option ``-fstack-protector-$ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR``. 579 580- ``ENCRYPT_BL31``: Binary flag to enable encryption of BL31 firmware. This 581 flag depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag. 582 583- ``ENCRYPT_BL32``: Binary flag to enable encryption of Secure BL32 payload. 584 This flag depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag. 585 586- ``ENC_KEY``: A 32-byte (256-bit) symmetric key in hex string format. It could 587 either be SSK or BSSK depending on ``FW_ENC_STATUS`` flag. This value depends 588 on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag. 589 590- ``ENC_NONCE``: A 12-byte (96-bit) encryption nonce or Initialization Vector 591 (IV) in hex string format. This value depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` 592 build flag. 593 594- ``ERROR_DEPRECATED``: This option decides whether to treat the usage of 595 deprecated platform APIs, helper functions or drivers within Trusted 596 Firmware as error. It can take the value 1 (flag the use of deprecated 597 APIs as error) or 0. The default is 0. 598 599- ``ETHOSN_NPU_DRIVER``: boolean option to enable a SiP service that can 600 configure an Arm® Ethos™-N NPU. To use this service the target platform's 601 ``HW_CONFIG`` must include the device tree nodes for the NPU. Currently, only 602 the Arm Juno platform has this included in its ``HW_CONFIG`` and the platform 603 only loads the ``HW_CONFIG`` in AArch64 builds. Default is 0. 604 605- ``ETHOSN_NPU_TZMP1``: boolean option to enable TZMP1 support for the 606 Arm® Ethos™-N NPU. Requires ``ETHOSN_NPU_DRIVER`` and 607 ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` to be enabled. 608 609- ``ETHOSN_NPU_FW``: location of the NPU firmware binary 610 (```ethosn.bin```). This firmware image will be included in the FIP and 611 loaded at runtime. 612 613- ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING``: When set to ``1``, enable handling of exceptions 614 targeted at EL3. When set ``0`` (default), no exceptions are expected or 615 handled at EL3, and a panic will result. The exception to this rule is when 616 ``SPMD_SPM_AT_SEL2`` is set to ``1``, in which case, only exceptions 617 occuring during normal world execution, are trapped to EL3. Any exception 618 trapped during secure world execution are trapped to the SPMC. This is 619 supported only for AArch64 builds. 620 621- ``EVENT_LOG_LEVEL``: Chooses the log level to use for Measured Boot when 622 ``MEASURED_BOOT`` is enabled. For a list of valid values, see ``LOG_LEVEL``. 623 Default value is 40 (LOG_LEVEL_INFO). 624 625- ``FAULT_INJECTION_SUPPORT``: ARMv8.4 extensions introduced support for fault 626 injection from lower ELs, and this build option enables lower ELs to use 627 Error Records accessed via System Registers to inject faults. This is 628 applicable only to AArch64 builds. 629 630 This feature is intended for testing purposes only, and is advisable to keep 631 disabled for production images. 632 633- ``FIP_NAME``: This is an optional build option which specifies the FIP 634 filename for the ``fip`` target. Default is ``fip.bin``. 635 636- ``FWU_FIP_NAME``: This is an optional build option which specifies the FWU 637 FIP filename for the ``fwu_fip`` target. Default is ``fwu_fip.bin``. 638 639- ``FW_ENC_STATUS``: Top level firmware's encryption numeric flag, values: 640 641 :: 642 643 0: Encryption is done with Secret Symmetric Key (SSK) which is common 644 for a class of devices. 645 1: Encryption is done with Binding Secret Symmetric Key (BSSK) which is 646 unique per device. 647 648 This flag depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag. 649 650- ``GENERATE_COT``: Boolean flag used to build and execute the ``cert_create`` 651 tool to create certificates as per the Chain of Trust described in 652 :ref:`Trusted Board Boot`. The build system then calls ``fiptool`` to 653 include the certificates in the FIP and FWU_FIP. Default value is '0'. 654 655 Specify both ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1`` and ``GENERATE_COT=1`` to include support 656 for the Trusted Board Boot feature in the BL1 and BL2 images, to generate 657 the corresponding certificates, and to include those certificates in the 658 FIP and FWU_FIP. 659 660 Note that if ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=0`` and ``GENERATE_COT=1``, the BL1 and BL2 661 images will not include support for Trusted Board Boot. The FIP will still 662 include the corresponding certificates. This FIP can be used to verify the 663 Chain of Trust on the host machine through other mechanisms. 664 665 Note that if ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1`` and ``GENERATE_COT=0``, the BL1 and BL2 666 images will include support for Trusted Board Boot, but the FIP and FWU_FIP 667 will not include the corresponding certificates, causing a boot failure. 668 669- ``GICV2_G0_FOR_EL3``: Unlike GICv3, the GICv2 architecture doesn't have 670 inherent support for specific EL3 type interrupts. Setting this build option 671 to ``1`` assumes GICv2 *Group 0* interrupts are expected to target EL3, both 672 by :ref:`platform abstraction layer<platform Interrupt Controller API>` and 673 :ref:`Interrupt Management Framework<Interrupt Management Framework>`. 674 This allows GICv2 platforms to enable features requiring EL3 interrupt type. 675 This also means that all GICv2 Group 0 interrupts are delivered to EL3, and 676 the Secure Payload interrupts needs to be synchronously handed over to Secure 677 EL1 for handling. The default value of this option is ``0``, which means the 678 Group 0 interrupts are assumed to be handled by Secure EL1. 679 680- ``HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST_NS``: When set to ``1``, External Aborts and SError 681 Interrupts, resulting from errors in NS world, will be always trapped in 682 EL3 i.e. in BL31 at runtime. When set to ``0`` (default), these exceptions 683 will be trapped in the current exception level (or in EL1 if the current 684 exception level is EL0). 685 686- ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY``: On most Arm systems to-date, platform-specific 687 software operations are required for CPUs to enter and exit coherency. 688 However, newer systems exist where CPUs' entry to and exit from coherency 689 is managed in hardware. Such systems require software to only initiate these 690 operations, and the rest is managed in hardware, minimizing active software 691 management. In such systems, this boolean option enables TF-A to carry out 692 build and run-time optimizations during boot and power management operations. 693 This option defaults to 0 and if it is enabled, then it implies 694 ``WARMBOOT_ENABLE_DCACHE_EARLY`` is also enabled. 695 696 If this flag is disabled while the platform which TF-A is compiled for 697 includes cores that manage coherency in hardware, then a compilation error is 698 generated. This is based on the fact that a system cannot have, at the same 699 time, cores that manage coherency in hardware and cores that don't. In other 700 words, a platform cannot have, at the same time, cores that require 701 ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY=1`` and cores that require 702 ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY=0``. 703 704 Note that, when ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY`` is enabled, version 2 of 705 translation library (xlat tables v2) must be used; version 1 of translation 706 library is not supported. 707 708- ``IMPDEF_SYSREG_TRAP``: Numeric value to enable the handling traps for 709 implementation defined system register accesses from lower ELs. Default 710 value is ``0``. 711 712- ``INVERTED_MEMMAP``: memmap tool print by default lower addresses at the 713 bottom, higher addresses at the top. This build flag can be set to '1' to 714 invert this behavior. Lower addresses will be printed at the top and higher 715 addresses at the bottom. 716 717- ``INIT_UNUSED_NS_EL2``: This build flag guards code that disables EL2 718 safely in scenario where NS-EL2 is present but unused. This flag is set to 0 719 by default. Platforms without NS-EL2 in use must enable this flag. 720 721- ``KEY_ALG``: This build flag enables the user to select the algorithm to be 722 used for generating the PKCS keys and subsequent signing of the certificate. 723 It accepts 5 values: ``rsa``, ``rsa_1_5``, ``ecdsa``, ``ecdsa-brainpool-regular`` 724 and ``ecdsa-brainpool-twisted``. The option ``rsa_1_5`` is the legacy PKCS#1 725 RSA 1.5 algorithm which is not TBBR compliant and is retained only for 726 compatibility. The default value of this flag is ``rsa`` which is the TBBR 727 compliant PKCS#1 RSA 2.1 scheme. 728 729- ``KEY_SIZE``: This build flag enables the user to select the key size for 730 the algorithm specified by ``KEY_ALG``. The valid values for ``KEY_SIZE`` 731 depend on the chosen algorithm and the cryptographic module. 732 733 +---------------------------+------------------------------------+ 734 | KEY_ALG | Possible key sizes | 735 +===========================+====================================+ 736 | rsa | 1024 , 2048 (default), 3072, 4096 | 737 +---------------------------+------------------------------------+ 738 | ecdsa | 256 (default), 384 | 739 +---------------------------+------------------------------------+ 740 | ecdsa-brainpool-regular | unavailable | 741 +---------------------------+------------------------------------+ 742 | ecdsa-brainpool-twisted | unavailable | 743 +---------------------------+------------------------------------+ 744 745- ``HASH_ALG``: This build flag enables the user to select the secure hash 746 algorithm. It accepts 3 values: ``sha256``, ``sha384`` and ``sha512``. 747 The default value of this flag is ``sha256``. 748 749- ``LDFLAGS``: Extra user options appended to the linkers' command line in 750 addition to the one set by the build system. 751 752- ``LOG_LEVEL``: Chooses the log level, which controls the amount of console log 753 output compiled into the build. This should be one of the following: 754 755 :: 756 757 0 (LOG_LEVEL_NONE) 758 10 (LOG_LEVEL_ERROR) 759 20 (LOG_LEVEL_NOTICE) 760 30 (LOG_LEVEL_WARNING) 761 40 (LOG_LEVEL_INFO) 762 50 (LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE) 763 764 All log output up to and including the selected log level is compiled into 765 the build. The default value is 40 in debug builds and 20 in release builds. 766 767- ``MEASURED_BOOT``: Boolean flag to include support for the Measured Boot 768 feature. This flag can be enabled with ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` in order to 769 provide trust that the code taking the measurements and recording them has 770 not been tampered with. 771 772 This option defaults to 0. 773 774- ``MARCH_DIRECTIVE``: used to pass a -march option from the platform build 775 options to the compiler. An example usage: 776 777 .. code:: make 778 779 MARCH_DIRECTIVE := -march=armv8.5-a 780 781- ``HARDEN_SLS``: used to pass -mharden-sls=all from the TF-A build 782 options to the compiler currently supporting only of the options. 783 GCC documentation: 784 https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/AArch64-Options.html#index-mharden-sls 785 786 An example usage: 787 788 .. code:: make 789 790 HARDEN_SLS := 1 791 792 This option defaults to 0. 793 794- ``NON_TRUSTED_WORLD_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It 795 specifies a file that contains the Non-Trusted World private key in PEM 796 format or a PKCS11 URI. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, only a file is accepted and it 797 will be used to save the key. 798 799- ``NS_BL2U``: Path to NS_BL2U image in the host file system. This image is 800 optional. It is only needed if the platform makefile specifies that it 801 is required in order to build the ``fwu_fip`` target. 802 803- ``NS_TIMER_SWITCH``: Enable save and restore for non-secure timer register 804 contents upon world switch. It can take either 0 (don't save and restore) or 805 1 (do save and restore). 0 is the default. An SPD may set this to 1 if it 806 wants the timer registers to be saved and restored. 807 808- ``OVERRIDE_LIBC``: This option allows platforms to override the default libc 809 for the BL image. It can be either 0 (include) or 1 (remove). The default 810 value is 0. 811 812- ``PL011_GENERIC_UART``: Boolean option to indicate the PL011 driver that 813 the underlying hardware is not a full PL011 UART but a minimally compliant 814 generic UART, which is a subset of the PL011. The driver will not access 815 any register that is not part of the SBSA generic UART specification. 816 Default value is 0 (a full PL011 compliant UART is present). 817 818- ``PLAT``: Choose a platform to build TF-A for. The chosen platform name 819 must be subdirectory of any depth under ``plat/``, and must contain a 820 platform makefile named ``platform.mk``. For example, to build TF-A for the 821 Arm Juno board, select PLAT=juno. 822 823- ``PLATFORM_REPORT_CTX_MEM_USE``: Reports the context memory allocated for 824 each core as well as the global context. The data includes the memory used 825 by each world and each privileged exception level. This build option is 826 applicable only for ``ARCH=aarch64`` builds. The default value is 0. 827 828- ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE``: This option enables booting a preloaded BL33 image 829 instead of the normal boot flow. When defined, it must specify the entry 830 point address for the preloaded BL33 image. This option is incompatible with 831 ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE``. If both are defined, ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE`` has priority 832 over ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE``. 833 834- ``PRESERVE_DSU_PMU_REGS``: This options when enabled allows the platform to 835 save/restore the DynamIQ Shared Unit's(DSU) Performance Monitoring Unit(PMU) 836 registers when the cluster goes through a power cycle. This is disabled by 837 default and platforms that require this feature have to enable them. 838 839- ``PROGRAMMABLE_RESET_ADDRESS``: This option indicates whether the reset 840 vector address can be programmed or is fixed on the platform. It can take 841 either 0 (fixed) or 1 (programmable). Default is 0. If the platform has a 842 programmable reset address, it is expected that a CPU will start executing 843 code directly at the right address, both on a cold and warm reset. In this 844 case, there is no need to identify the entrypoint on boot and the boot path 845 can be optimised. The ``plat_get_my_entrypoint()`` platform porting interface 846 does not need to be implemented in this case. 847 848- ``PSCI_EXTENDED_STATE_ID``: As per PSCI1.0 Specification, there are 2 formats 849 possible for the PSCI power-state parameter: original and extended State-ID 850 formats. This flag if set to 1, configures the generic PSCI layer to use the 851 extended format. The default value of this flag is 0, which means by default 852 the original power-state format is used by the PSCI implementation. This flag 853 should be specified by the platform makefile and it governs the return value 854 of PSCI_FEATURES API for CPU_SUSPEND smc function id. When this option is 855 enabled on Arm platforms, the option ``ARM_RECOM_STATE_ID_ENC`` needs to be 856 set to 1 as well. 857 858- ``PSCI_OS_INIT_MODE``: Boolean flag to enable support for optional PSCI 859 OS-initiated mode. This option defaults to 0. 860 861- ``ENABLE_FEAT_RAS``: Boolean flag to enable Armv8.2 RAS features. RAS features 862 are an optional extension for pre-Armv8.2 CPUs, but are mandatory for Armv8.2 863 or later CPUs. This flag can take the values 0 or 1. The default value is 0. 864 NOTE: This flag enables use of IESB capability to reduce entry latency into 865 EL3 even when RAS error handling is not performed on the platform. Hence this 866 flag is recommended to be turned on Armv8.2 and later CPUs. 867 868- ``RESET_TO_BL31``: Enable BL31 entrypoint as the CPU reset vector instead 869 of the BL1 entrypoint. It can take the value 0 (CPU reset to BL1 870 entrypoint) or 1 (CPU reset to BL31 entrypoint). 871 The default value is 0. 872 873- ``RESET_TO_SP_MIN``: SP_MIN is the minimal AArch32 Secure Payload provided 874 in TF-A. This flag configures SP_MIN entrypoint as the CPU reset vector 875 instead of the BL1 entrypoint. It can take the value 0 (CPU reset to BL1 876 entrypoint) or 1 (CPU reset to SP_MIN entrypoint). The default value is 0. 877 878- ``RME_GPT_BITLOCK_BLOCK``: This defines the block size (in number of 512MB 879- blocks) covered by a single bit of the bitlock structure during RME GPT 880- operations. The lower the block size, the better opportunity for 881- parallelising GPT operations but at the cost of more bits being needed 882- for the bitlock structure. This numeric parameter can take the values 883- from 0 to 512 and must be a power of 2. The value of 0 is special and 884- and it chooses a single spinlock for all GPT L1 table entries. Default 885- value is 1 which corresponds to block size of 512MB per bit of bitlock 886- structure. 887 888- ``RME_GPT_MAX_BLOCK``: Numeric value in MB to define the maximum size of 889 supported contiguous blocks in GPT Library. This parameter can take the 890 values 0, 2, 32 and 512. Setting this value to 0 disables use of Contigious 891 descriptors. Default value is 512. 892 893- ``ROT_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies a 894 file that contains the ROT private key in PEM format or a PKCS11 URI and 895 enforces public key hash generation. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, only a file is 896 accepted and it will be used to save the key. 897 898- ``SAVE_KEYS``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It tells the 899 certificate generation tool to save the keys used to establish the Chain of 900 Trust. Allowed options are '0' or '1'. Default is '0' (do not save). 901 902- ``SCP_BL2``: Path to SCP_BL2 image in the host file system. This image is optional. 903 If a SCP_BL2 image is present then this option must be passed for the ``fip`` 904 target. 905 906- ``SCP_BL2_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies a 907 file that contains the SCP_BL2 private key in PEM format or a PKCS11 URI. 908 If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, only a file is accepted and it will be used to save the key. 909 910- ``SCP_BL2U``: Path to SCP_BL2U image in the host file system. This image is 911 optional. It is only needed if the platform makefile specifies that it 912 is required in order to build the ``fwu_fip`` target. 913 914- ``SDEI_SUPPORT``: Setting this to ``1`` enables support for Software 915 Delegated Exception Interface to BL31 image. This defaults to ``0``. 916 917 When set to ``1``, the build option ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING`` must also be 918 set to ``1``. 919 920- ``SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA``: Whether code and read-only data should be 921 isolated on separate memory pages. This is a trade-off between security and 922 memory usage. See "Isolating code and read-only data on separate memory 923 pages" section in :ref:`Firmware Design`. This flag is disabled by default 924 and affects all BL images. 925 926- ``SEPARATE_NOBITS_REGION``: Setting this option to ``1`` allows the NOBITS 927 sections of BL31 (.bss, stacks, page tables, and coherent memory) to be 928 allocated in RAM discontiguous from the loaded firmware image. When set, the 929 platform is expected to provide definitions for ``BL31_NOBITS_BASE`` and 930 ``BL31_NOBITS_LIMIT``. When the option is ``0`` (the default), NOBITS 931 sections are placed in RAM immediately following the loaded firmware image. 932 933- ``SEPARATE_BL2_NOLOAD_REGION``: Setting this option to ``1`` allows the 934 NOLOAD sections of BL2 (.bss, stacks, page tables) to be allocated in RAM 935 discontiguous from loaded firmware images. When set, the platform need to 936 provide definitions of ``BL2_NOLOAD_START`` and ``BL2_NOLOAD_LIMIT``. This 937 flag is disabled by default and NOLOAD sections are placed in RAM immediately 938 following the loaded firmware image. 939 940- ``SEPARATE_SIMD_SECTION``: Setting this option to ``1`` allows the SIMD context 941 data structures to be put in a dedicated memory region as decided by platform 942 integrator. Default value is ``0`` which means the SIMD context is put in BSS 943 section of EL3 firmware. 944 945- ``SMC_PCI_SUPPORT``: This option allows platforms to handle PCI configuration 946 access requests via a standard SMCCC defined in `DEN0115`_. When combined with 947 UEFI+ACPI this can provide a certain amount of OS forward compatibility 948 with newer platforms that aren't ECAM compliant. 949 950- ``SPD``: Choose a Secure Payload Dispatcher component to be built into TF-A. 951 This build option is only valid if ``ARCH=aarch64``. The value should be 952 the path to the directory containing the SPD source, relative to 953 ``services/spd/``; the directory is expected to contain a makefile called 954 ``<spd-value>.mk``. The SPM Dispatcher standard service is located in 955 services/std_svc/spmd and enabled by ``SPD=spmd``. The SPM Dispatcher 956 cannot be enabled when the ``SPM_MM`` option is enabled. 957 958- ``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT``: This option introduces an infinite loop in BL1. It can 959 take either 0 (no loop) or 1 (add a loop). 0 is the default. This loop stops 960 execution in BL1 just before handing over to BL31. At this point, all 961 firmware images have been loaded in memory, and the MMU and caches are 962 turned off. Refer to the "Debugging options" section for more details. 963 964- ``SPMC_AT_EL3`` : This boolean option is used jointly with the SPM 965 Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``). When enabled (1) it indicates the SPMC 966 component runs at the EL3 exception level. The default value is ``0`` ( 967 disabled). This configuration supports pre-Armv8.4 platforms (aka not 968 implementing the ``FEAT_SEL2`` extension). 969 970- ``SPMC_AT_EL3_SEL0_SP`` : Boolean option to enable SEL0 SP load support when 971 ``SPMC_AT_EL3`` is enabled. The default value if ``0`` (disabled). This 972 option cannot be enabled (``1``) when (``SPMC_AT_EL3``) is disabled. 973 974- ``SPMC_OPTEE`` : This boolean option is used jointly with the SPM 975 Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``) and with ``SPMD_SPM_AT_SEL2=0`` to 976 indicate that the SPMC at S-EL1 is OP-TEE and an OP-TEE specific loading 977 mechanism should be used. 978 979- ``SPMD_SPM_AT_SEL2`` : This boolean option is used jointly with the SPM 980 Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``). When enabled (1) it indicates the SPMC 981 component runs at the S-EL2 exception level provided by the ``FEAT_SEL2`` 982 extension. This is the default when enabling the SPM Dispatcher. When 983 disabled (0) it indicates the SPMC component runs at the S-EL1 execution 984 state or at EL3 if ``SPMC_AT_EL3`` is enabled. The latter configurations 985 support pre-Armv8.4 platforms (aka not implementing the ``FEAT_SEL2`` 986 extension). 987 988- ``SPM_MM`` : Boolean option to enable the Management Mode (MM)-based Secure 989 Partition Manager (SPM) implementation. The default value is ``0`` 990 (disabled). This option cannot be enabled (``1``) when SPM Dispatcher is 991 enabled (``SPD=spmd``). 992 993- ``SP_LAYOUT_FILE``: Platform provided path to JSON file containing the 994 description of secure partitions. The build system will parse this file and 995 package all secure partition blobs into the FIP. This file is not 996 necessarily part of TF-A tree. Only available when ``SPD=spmd``. 997 998- ``SP_MIN_WITH_SECURE_FIQ``: Boolean flag to indicate the SP_MIN handles 999 secure interrupts (caught through the FIQ line). Platforms can enable 1000 this directive if they need to handle such interruption. When enabled, 1001 the FIQ are handled in monitor mode and non secure world is not allowed 1002 to mask these events. Platforms that enable FIQ handling in SP_MIN shall 1003 implement the api ``sp_min_plat_fiq_handler()``. The default value is 0. 1004 1005- ``SVE_VECTOR_LEN``: SVE vector length to configure in ZCR_EL3. 1006 Platforms can configure this if they need to lower the hardware 1007 limit, for example due to asymmetric configuration or limitations of 1008 software run at lower ELs. The default is the architectural maximum 1009 of 2048 which should be suitable for most configurations, the 1010 hardware will limit the effective VL to the maximum physically supported 1011 VL. 1012 1013- ``TRNG_SUPPORT``: Setting this to ``1`` enables support for True 1014 Random Number Generator Interface to BL31 image. This defaults to ``0``. 1015 1016- ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT``: Boolean flag to include support for the Trusted Board 1017 Boot feature. When set to '1', BL1 and BL2 images include support to load 1018 and verify the certificates and images in a FIP, and BL1 includes support 1019 for the Firmware Update. The default value is '0'. Generation and inclusion 1020 of certificates in the FIP and FWU_FIP depends upon the value of the 1021 ``GENERATE_COT`` option. 1022 1023 .. warning:: 1024 This option depends on ``CREATE_KEYS`` to be enabled. If the keys 1025 already exist in disk, they will be overwritten without further notice. 1026 1027- ``TRUSTED_WORLD_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It 1028 specifies a file that contains the Trusted World private key in PEM 1029 format or a PKCS11 URI. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, only a file is accepted and 1030 it will be used to save the key. 1031 1032- ``TSP_INIT_ASYNC``: Choose BL32 initialization method as asynchronous or 1033 synchronous, (see "Initializing a BL32 Image" section in 1034 :ref:`Firmware Design`). It can take the value 0 (BL32 is initialized using 1035 synchronous method) or 1 (BL32 is initialized using asynchronous method). 1036 Default is 0. 1037 1038- ``TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT``: A non zero value enables the interrupt 1039 routing model which routes non-secure interrupts asynchronously from TSP 1040 to EL3 causing immediate preemption of TSP. The EL3 is responsible 1041 for saving and restoring the TSP context in this routing model. The 1042 default routing model (when the value is 0) is to route non-secure 1043 interrupts to TSP allowing it to save its context and hand over 1044 synchronously to EL3 via an SMC. 1045 1046 .. note:: 1047 When ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING`` is ``1``, ``TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT`` 1048 must also be set to ``1``. 1049 1050- ``TS_SP_FW_CONFIG``: DTC build flag to include Trusted Services (Crypto and 1051 internal-trusted-storage) as SP in tb_fw_config device tree. 1052 1053- ``TWED_DELAY``: Numeric value to be set in order to delay the trapping of 1054 WFE instruction. ``ENABLE_FEAT_TWED`` build option must be enabled to set 1055 this delay. It can take values in the range (0-15). Default value is ``0`` 1056 and based on this value, 2^(TWED_DELAY + 8) cycles will be delayed. 1057 Platforms need to explicitly update this value based on their requirements. 1058 1059- ``USE_ARM_LINK``: This flag determines whether to enable support for ARM 1060 linker. When the ``LINKER`` build variable points to the armlink linker, 1061 this flag is enabled automatically. To enable support for armlink, platforms 1062 will have to provide a scatter file for the BL image. Currently, Tegra 1063 platforms use the armlink support to compile BL3-1 images. 1064 1065- ``USE_COHERENT_MEM``: This flag determines whether to include the coherent 1066 memory region in the BL memory map or not (see "Use of Coherent memory in 1067 TF-A" section in :ref:`Firmware Design`). It can take the value 1 1068 (Coherent memory region is included) or 0 (Coherent memory region is 1069 excluded). Default is 1. 1070 1071- ``ARM_IO_IN_DTB``: This flag determines whether to use IO based on the 1072 firmware configuration framework. This will move the io_policies into a 1073 configuration device tree, instead of static structure in the code base. 1074 1075- ``COT_DESC_IN_DTB``: This flag determines whether to create COT descriptors 1076 at runtime using fconf. If this flag is enabled, COT descriptors are 1077 statically captured in tb_fw_config file in the form of device tree nodes 1078 and properties. Currently, COT descriptors used by BL2 are moved to the 1079 device tree and COT descriptors used by BL1 are retained in the code 1080 base statically. 1081 1082- ``SDEI_IN_FCONF``: This flag determines whether to configure SDEI setup in 1083 runtime using firmware configuration framework. The platform specific SDEI 1084 shared and private events configuration is retrieved from device tree rather 1085 than static C structures at compile time. This is only supported if 1086 SDEI_SUPPORT build flag is enabled. 1087 1088- ``SEC_INT_DESC_IN_FCONF``: This flag determines whether to configure Group 0 1089 and Group1 secure interrupts using the firmware configuration framework. The 1090 platform specific secure interrupt property descriptor is retrieved from 1091 device tree in runtime rather than depending on static C structure at compile 1092 time. 1093 1094- ``USE_ROMLIB``: This flag determines whether library at ROM will be used. 1095 This feature creates a library of functions to be placed in ROM and thus 1096 reduces SRAM usage. Refer to :ref:`Library at ROM` for further details. Default 1097 is 0. 1098 1099- ``V``: Verbose build. If assigned anything other than 0, the build commands 1100 are printed. Default is 0. 1101 1102- ``VERSION_STRING``: String used in the log output for each TF-A image. 1103 Defaults to a string formed by concatenating the version number, build type 1104 and build string. 1105 1106- ``W``: Warning level. Some compiler warning options of interest have been 1107 regrouped and put in the root Makefile. This flag can take the values 0 to 3, 1108 each level enabling more warning options. Default is 0. 1109 1110 This option is closely related to the ``E`` option, which enables 1111 ``-Werror``. 1112 1113 - ``W=0`` (default) 1114 1115 Enables a wide assortment of warnings, most notably ``-Wall`` and 1116 ``-Wextra``, as well as various bad practices and things that are likely to 1117 result in errors. Includes some compiler specific flags. No warnings are 1118 expected at this level for any build. 1119 1120 - ``W=1`` 1121 1122 Enables warnings we want the generic build to include but are too time 1123 consuming to fix at the moment. It re-enables warnings taken out for 1124 ``W=0`` builds (a few of the ``-Wextra`` additions). This level is expected 1125 to eventually be merged into ``W=0``. Some warnings are expected on some 1126 builds, but new contributions should not introduce new ones. 1127 1128 - ``W=2`` (recommended) 1129 1130 Enables warnings we want the generic build to include but cannot be enabled 1131 due to external libraries. This level is expected to eventually be merged 1132 into ``W=0``. Lots of warnings are expected, primarily from external 1133 libraries like zlib and compiler-rt, but new controbutions should not 1134 introduce new ones. 1135 1136 - ``W=3`` 1137 1138 Enables warnings that are informative but not necessary and generally too 1139 verbose and frequently ignored. A very large number of warnings are 1140 expected. 1141 1142 The exact set of warning flags depends on the compiler and TF-A warning 1143 level, however they are all succinctly set in the top-level Makefile. Please 1144 refer to the `GCC`_ or `Clang`_ documentation for more information on the 1145 individual flags. 1146 1147- ``WARMBOOT_ENABLE_DCACHE_EARLY`` : Boolean option to enable D-cache early on 1148 the CPU after warm boot. This is applicable for platforms which do not 1149 require interconnect programming to enable cache coherency (eg: single 1150 cluster platforms). If this option is enabled, then warm boot path 1151 enables D-caches immediately after enabling MMU. This option defaults to 0. 1152 1153- ``SUPPORT_STACK_MEMTAG``: This flag determines whether to enable memory 1154 tagging for stack or not. It accepts 2 values: ``yes`` and ``no``. The 1155 default value of this flag is ``no``. Note this option must be enabled only 1156 for ARM architecture greater than Armv8.5-A. 1157 1158- ``ERRATA_SPECULATIVE_AT``: This flag determines whether to enable ``AT`` 1159 speculative errata workaround or not. It accepts 2 values: ``1`` and ``0``. 1160 The default value of this flag is ``0``. 1161 1162 ``AT`` speculative errata workaround disables stage1 page table walk for 1163 lower ELs (EL1 and EL0) in EL3 so that ``AT`` speculative fetch at any point 1164 produces either the correct result or failure without TLB allocation. 1165 1166 This boolean option enables errata for all below CPUs. 1167 1168 +---------+--------------+-------------------------+ 1169 | Errata | CPU | Workaround Define | 1170 +=========+==============+=========================+ 1171 | 1165522 | Cortex-A76 | ``ERRATA_A76_1165522`` | 1172 +---------+--------------+-------------------------+ 1173 | 1319367 | Cortex-A72 | ``ERRATA_A72_1319367`` | 1174 +---------+--------------+-------------------------+ 1175 | 1319537 | Cortex-A57 | ``ERRATA_A57_1319537`` | 1176 +---------+--------------+-------------------------+ 1177 | 1530923 | Cortex-A55 | ``ERRATA_A55_1530923`` | 1178 +---------+--------------+-------------------------+ 1179 | 1530924 | Cortex-A53 | ``ERRATA_A53_1530924`` | 1180 +---------+--------------+-------------------------+ 1181 1182 .. note:: 1183 This option is enabled by build only if platform sets any of above defines 1184 mentioned in ’Workaround Define' column in the table. 1185 If this option is enabled for the EL3 software then EL2 software also must 1186 implement this workaround due to the behaviour of the errata mentioned 1187 in new SDEN document which will get published soon. 1188 1189- ``RAS_TRAP_NS_ERR_REC_ACCESS``: This flag enables/disables the SCR_EL3.TERR 1190 bit, to trap access to the RAS ERR and RAS ERX registers from lower ELs. 1191 This flag is disabled by default. 1192 1193- ``OPENSSL_DIR``: This option is used to provide the path to a directory on the 1194 host machine where a custom installation of OpenSSL is located, which is used 1195 to build the certificate generation, firmware encryption and FIP tools. If 1196 this option is not set, the default OS installation will be used. 1197 1198- ``USE_SP804_TIMER``: Use the SP804 timer instead of the Generic Timer for 1199 functions that wait for an arbitrary time length (udelay and mdelay). The 1200 default value is 0. 1201 1202- ``ENABLE_BRBE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable access to the branch record 1203 buffer registers from NS ELs when FEAT_BRBE is implemented. BRBE is an 1204 optional architectural feature for AArch64. This flag can take the values 1205 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. The default is 0 1206 and it is automatically disabled when the target architecture is AArch32. 1207 1208- ``ENABLE_TRBE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable access of trace buffer 1209 control registers from NS ELs, NS-EL2 or NS-EL1(when NS-EL2 is implemented 1210 but unused) when FEAT_TRBE is implemented. TRBE is an optional architectural 1211 feature for AArch64. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the 1212 ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. The default is 0 and it is automatically 1213 disabled when the target architecture is AArch32. 1214 1215- ``ENABLE_SYS_REG_TRACE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable trace system 1216 registers access from NS ELs, NS-EL2 or NS-EL1 (when NS-EL2 is implemented 1217 but unused). This feature is available if trace unit such as ETMv4.x, and 1218 ETE(extending ETM feature) is implemented. This flag can take the values 1219 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. The default is 0. 1220 1221- ``ENABLE_TRF_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable trace filter control registers 1222 access from NS ELs, NS-EL2 or NS-EL1 (when NS-EL2 is implemented but unused), 1223 if FEAT_TRF is implemented. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align 1224 with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. This flag is disabled by default. 1225 1226- ``CONDITIONAL_CMO``: Boolean option to enable call to platform-defined routine 1227 ``plat_can_cmo`` which will return zero if cache management operations should 1228 be skipped and non-zero otherwise. By default, this option is disabled which 1229 means platform hook won't be checked and CMOs will always be performed when 1230 related functions are called. 1231 1232- ``ERRATA_ABI_SUPPORT``: Boolean option to enable support for Errata management 1233 firmware interface for the BL31 image. By default its disabled (``0``). 1234 1235- ``ERRATA_NON_ARM_INTERCONNECT``: Boolean option to enable support for the 1236 errata mitigation for platforms with a non-arm interconnect using the errata 1237 ABI. By default its disabled (``0``). 1238 1239- ``ENABLE_CONSOLE_GETC``: Boolean option to enable `getc()` feature in console 1240 driver(s). By default it is disabled (``0``) because it constitutes an attack 1241 vector into TF-A by potentially allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary data. 1242 This option should only be enabled on a need basis if there is a use case for 1243 reading characters from the console. 1244 1245GICv3 driver options 1246-------------------- 1247 1248GICv3 driver files are included using directive: 1249 1250``include drivers/arm/gic/v3/gicv3.mk`` 1251 1252The driver can be configured with the following options set in the platform 1253makefile: 1254 1255- ``GICV3_SUPPORT_GIC600``: Add support for the GIC-600 variants of GICv3. 1256 Enabling this option will add runtime detection support for the 1257 GIC-600, so is safe to select even for a GIC500 implementation. 1258 This option defaults to 0. 1259 1260- ``GICV3_SUPPORT_GIC600AE_FMU``: Add support for the Fault Management Unit 1261 for GIC-600 AE. Enabling this option will introduce support to initialize 1262 the FMU. Platforms should call the init function during boot to enable the 1263 FMU and its safety mechanisms. This option defaults to 0. 1264 1265- ``GICV3_IMPL_GIC600_MULTICHIP``: Selects GIC-600 variant with multichip 1266 functionality. This option defaults to 0 1267 1268- ``GICV3_OVERRIDE_DISTIF_PWR_OPS``: Allows override of default implementation 1269 of ``arm_gicv3_distif_pre_save`` and ``arm_gicv3_distif_post_restore`` 1270 functions. This is required for FVP platform which need to simulate GIC save 1271 and restore during SYSTEM_SUSPEND without powering down GIC. Default is 0. 1272 1273- ``GIC_ENABLE_V4_EXTN`` : Enables GICv4 related changes in GICv3 driver. 1274 This option defaults to 0. 1275 1276- ``GIC_EXT_INTID``: When set to ``1``, GICv3 driver will support extended 1277 PPI (1056-1119) and SPI (4096-5119) range. This option defaults to 0. 1278 1279Debugging options 1280----------------- 1281 1282To compile a debug version and make the build more verbose use 1283 1284.. code:: shell 1285 1286 make PLAT=<platform> DEBUG=1 V=1 all 1287 1288AArch64 GCC 11 uses DWARF version 5 debugging symbols by default. Some tools 1289(for example Arm-DS) might not support this and may need an older version of 1290DWARF symbols to be emitted by GCC. This can be achieved by using the 1291``-gdwarf-<version>`` flag, with the version being set to 2, 3, 4 or 5. Setting 1292the version to 4 is recommended for Arm-DS. 1293 1294When debugging logic problems it might also be useful to disable all compiler 1295optimizations by using ``-O0``. 1296 1297.. warning:: 1298 Using ``-O0`` could cause output images to be larger and base addresses 1299 might need to be recalculated (see the **Memory layout on Arm development 1300 platforms** section in the :ref:`Firmware Design`). 1301 1302Extra debug options can be passed to the build system by setting ``CFLAGS`` or 1303``LDFLAGS``: 1304 1305.. code:: shell 1306 1307 CFLAGS='-O0 -gdwarf-2' \ 1308 make PLAT=<platform> DEBUG=1 V=1 all 1309 1310Note that using ``-Wl,`` style compilation driver options in ``CFLAGS`` will be 1311ignored as the linker is called directly. 1312 1313It is also possible to introduce an infinite loop to help in debugging the 1314post-BL2 phase of TF-A. This can be done by rebuilding BL1 with the 1315``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT=1`` build flag. Refer to the :ref:`build_options_common` 1316section. In this case, the developer may take control of the target using a 1317debugger when indicated by the console output. When using Arm-DS, the following 1318commands can be used: 1319 1320:: 1321 1322 # Stop target execution 1323 interrupt 1324 1325 # 1326 # Prepare your debugging environment, e.g. set breakpoints 1327 # 1328 1329 # Jump over the debug loop 1330 set var $AARCH64::$Core::$PC = $AARCH64::$Core::$PC + 4 1331 1332 # Resume execution 1333 continue 1334 1335.. _build_options_experimental: 1336 1337Experimental build options 1338--------------------------- 1339 1340Common build options 1341~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1342 1343- ``DICE_PROTECTION_ENVIRONMENT``: Boolean flag to specify the measured boot 1344 backend when ``MEASURED_BOOT`` is enabled. The default value is ``0``. When 1345 set to ``1`` then measurements and additional metadata collected during the 1346 measured boot process are sent to the DICE Protection Environment for storage 1347 and processing. A certificate chain, which represents the boot state of the 1348 device, can be queried from the DPE. 1349 1350- ``DRTM_SUPPORT``: Boolean flag to enable support for Dynamic Root of Trust 1351 for Measurement (DRTM). This feature has trust dependency on BL31 for taking 1352 the measurements and recording them as per `PSA DRTM specification`_. For 1353 platforms which use BL2 to load/authenticate BL31 ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` can 1354 be used and for the platforms which use ``RESET_TO_BL31`` platform owners 1355 should have mechanism to authenticate BL31. This option defaults to 0. 1356 1357- ``ENABLE_RME``: Numeric value to enable support for the ARMv9 Realm 1358 Management Extension. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with 1359 the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. Default value is 0. 1360 1361- ``RMMD_ENABLE_EL3_TOKEN_SIGN``: Numeric value to enable support for singing 1362 realm attestation token signing requests in EL3. This flag can take the 1363 values 0 and 1. The default value is ``0``. When set to ``1``, this option 1364 enables additional RMMD SMCs to push and pop requests for signing to 1365 EL3 along with platform hooks that must be implemented to service those 1366 requests and responses. 1367 1368- ``ENABLE_SME_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable Scalable Matrix Extension 1369 (SME), SVE, and FPU/SIMD for the non-secure world only. These features share 1370 registers so are enabled together. Using this option without 1371 ENABLE_SME_FOR_SWD=1 will cause SME, SVE, and FPU/SIMD instructions in secure 1372 world to trap to EL3. Requires ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS`` to be set as SME is a 1373 superset of SVE. SME is an optional architectural feature for AArch64. 1374 At this time, this build option cannot be used on systems that have 1375 SPD=spmd/SPM_MM and atempting to build with this option will fail. 1376 This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` 1377 mechanism. Default is 0. 1378 1379- ``ENABLE_SME2_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable Scalable Matrix Extension 1380 version 2 (SME2) for the non-secure world only. SME2 is an optional 1381 architectural feature for AArch64. 1382 This should be set along with ENABLE_SME_FOR_NS=1, if not, the default SME 1383 accesses will still be trapped. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to 1384 align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. Default is 0. 1385 1386- ``ENABLE_SME_FOR_SWD``: Boolean option to enable the Scalable Matrix 1387 Extension for secure world. Used along with SVE and FPU/SIMD. 1388 ENABLE_SME_FOR_NS and ENABLE_SVE_FOR_SWD must also be set to use this. 1389 Default is 0. 1390 1391- ``ENABLE_SPMD_LP`` : This boolean option is used jointly with the SPM 1392 Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``). When enabled (1) it indicates support 1393 for logical partitions in EL3, managed by the SPMD as defined in the 1394 FF-A v1.2 specification. This flag is disabled by default. This flag 1395 must not be used if ``SPMC_AT_EL3`` is enabled. 1396 1397- ``FEATURE_DETECTION``: Boolean option to enable the architectural features 1398 verification mechanism. This is a debug feature that compares the 1399 architectural features enabled through the feature specific build flags 1400 (ENABLE_FEAT_xxx) with the features actually available on the CPU running, 1401 and reports any discrepancies. 1402 This flag will also enable errata ordering checking for ``DEBUG`` builds. 1403 1404 It is expected that this feature is only used for flexible platforms like 1405 software emulators, or for hardware platforms at bringup time, to verify 1406 that the configured feature set matches the CPU. 1407 The ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` macro is disabled by default. 1408 1409- ``PSA_CRYPTO``: Boolean option for enabling MbedTLS PSA crypto APIs support. 1410 The platform will use PSA compliant Crypto APIs during authentication and 1411 image measurement process by enabling this option. It uses APIs defined as 1412 per the `PSA Crypto API specification`_. This feature is only supported if 1413 using MbedTLS 3.x version. It is disabled (``0``) by default. 1414 1415- ``TRANSFER_LIST``: Setting this to ``1`` enables support for Firmware 1416 Handoff using Transfer List defined in `Firmware Handoff specification`_. 1417 This defaults to ``0``. Current implementation follows the Firmware Handoff 1418 specification v0.9. 1419 1420- ``USE_DEBUGFS``: When set to 1 this option exposes a virtual filesystem 1421 interface through BL31 as a SiP SMC function. 1422 Default is disabled (0). 1423 1424- ``HOB_LIST``: Setting this to ``1`` enables support for passing boot 1425 information using HOB defined in `Platform Initialization specification`_. 1426 This defaults to ``0``. 1427 1428Firmware update options 1429~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1430 1431- ``PSA_FWU_SUPPORT``: Enable the firmware update mechanism as per the 1432 `PSA FW update specification`_. The default value is 0. 1433 PSA firmware update implementation has few limitations, such as: 1434 1435 - BL2 is not part of the protocol-updatable images. If BL2 needs to 1436 be updated, then it should be done through another platform-defined 1437 mechanism. 1438 1439 - It assumes the platform's hardware supports CRC32 instructions. 1440 1441- ``NR_OF_FW_BANKS``: Define the number of firmware banks. This flag is used 1442 in defining the firmware update metadata structure. This flag is by default 1443 set to '2'. 1444 1445- ``NR_OF_IMAGES_IN_FW_BANK``: Define the number of firmware images in each 1446 firmware bank. Each firmware bank must have the same number of images as per 1447 the `PSA FW update specification`_. 1448 This flag is used in defining the firmware update metadata structure. This 1449 flag is by default set to '1'. 1450 1451- ``PSA_FWU_METADATA_FW_STORE_DESC``: To be enabled when the FWU 1452 metadata contains image description. The default value is 1. 1453 1454 The version 2 of the FWU metadata allows for an opaque metadata 1455 structure where a platform can choose to not include the firmware 1456 store description in the metadata structure. This option indicates 1457 if the firmware store description, which provides information on 1458 the updatable images is part of the structure. 1459 1460-------------- 1461 1462*Copyright (c) 2019-2024, Arm Limited.
