1Build Options
2=============
3
4The TF-A build system supports the following build options. Unless mentioned
5otherwise, these options are expected to be specified at the build command
6line and are not to be modified in any component makefiles. Note that the
7build system doesn't track dependency for build options. Therefore, if any of
8the build options are changed from a previous build, a clean build must be
9performed.

11.. _build_options_common:
12
13Common build options
14--------------------
15
16-  ``AARCH32_INSTRUCTION_SET``: Choose the AArch32 instruction set that the
17   compiler should use. Valid values are T32 and A32. It defaults to T32 due to
18   code having a smaller resulting size.
19
20-  ``AARCH32_SP`` : Choose the AArch32 Secure Payload component to be built as
21   as the BL32 image when ``ARCH=aarch32``. The value should be the path to the
22   directory containing the SP source, relative to the ``bl32/``; the directory
23   is expected to contain a makefile called ``<aarch32_sp-value>.mk``.
24
25-  ``AMU_RESTRICT_COUNTERS``: Register reads to the group 1 counters will return
26   zero at all but the highest implemented exception level. External
27   memory-mapped debug accesses are unaffected by this control.
28   The default value is 1 for all platforms.
29
30-  ``ARCH`` : Choose the target build architecture for TF-A. It can take either
31   ``aarch64`` or ``aarch32`` as values. By default, it is defined to
32   ``aarch64``.
33
34-  ``ARM_ARCH_FEATURE``: Optional Arm Architecture build option which specifies
35   one or more feature modifiers. This option has the form ``[no]feature+...``
36   and defaults to ``none``. It translates into compiler option
37   ``-march=armvX[.Y]-a+[no]feature+...``. See compiler's documentation for the
38   list of supported feature modifiers.
39
40-  ``ARM_ARCH_MAJOR``: The major version of Arm Architecture to target when
41   compiling TF-A. Its value must be numeric, and defaults to 8 . See also,
42   *Armv8 Architecture Extensions* and *Armv7 Architecture Extensions* in
43   :ref:`Firmware Design`.
44
45-  ``ARM_ARCH_MINOR``: The minor version of Arm Architecture to target when
46   compiling TF-A. Its value must be a numeric, and defaults to 0. See also,
47   *Armv8 Architecture Extensions* in :ref:`Firmware Design`.
48
49-  ``ARM_BL2_SP_LIST_DTS``: Path to DTS file snippet to override the hardcoded
50   SP nodes in tb_fw_config.
51
52-  ``ARM_SPMC_MANIFEST_DTS`` : path to an alternate manifest file used as the
53   SPMC Core manifest. Valid when ``SPD=spmd`` is selected.
54
55-  ``BL2``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to BL2
56   image for the ``fip`` target. In this case, the BL2 in the TF-A will not be
57   built.
58
59-  ``BL2U``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to
60   BL2U image. In this case, the BL2U in TF-A will not be built.
61
62-  ``RESET_TO_BL2``: Boolean option to enable BL2 entrypoint as the CPU reset
63   vector instead of the BL1 entrypoint. It can take the value 0 (CPU reset to BL1
64   entrypoint) or 1 (CPU reset to BL2 entrypoint).
65   The default value is 0.
66
67-  ``BL2_RUNS_AT_EL3``: This is an implicit flag to denote that BL2 runs at EL3.
68   While it is explicitly set to 1 when RESET_TO_BL2 is set to 1 it can also be
69   true in a 4-world system where RESET_TO_BL2 is 0.
70
71-  ``BL2_ENABLE_SP_LOAD``: Boolean option to enable loading SP packages from the
72   FIP. Automatically enabled if ``SP_LAYOUT_FILE`` is provided.
73
74-  ``BL2_IN_XIP_MEM``: In some use-cases BL2 will be stored in eXecute In Place
75   (XIP) memory, like BL1. In these use-cases, it is necessary to initialize
76   the RW sections in RAM, while leaving the RO sections in place. This option
77   enable this use-case. For now, this option is only supported
78   when RESET_TO_BL2 is set to '1'.
79
80-  ``BL31``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to
81   BL31 image for the ``fip`` target. In this case, the BL31 in TF-A will not
82   be built.
83
84-  ``BL31_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies a
85   file that contains the BL31 private key in PEM format or a PKCS11 URI. If
86   ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, only a file is accepted and it will be used to save the key.
87
88-  ``BL32``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to
89   BL32 image for the ``fip`` target. In this case, the BL32 in TF-A will not
90   be built.
91
92-  ``BL32_EXTRA1``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to
93   Trusted OS Extra1 image for the  ``fip`` target.
94
95-  ``BL32_EXTRA2``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to
96   Trusted OS Extra2 image for the ``fip`` target.
97
98-  ``BL32_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies a
99   file that contains the BL32 private key in PEM format or a PKCS11 URI. If
100   ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, only a file is accepted and it will be used to save the key.
101
102-  ``RMM``: This is an optional build option used when ``ENABLE_RME`` is set.
103   It specifies the path to RMM binary for the ``fip`` target. If the RMM option
104   is not specified, TF-A builds the TRP to load and run at R-EL2.
105
106-  ``BL33``: Path to BL33 image in the host file system. This is mandatory for
107   ``fip`` target in case TF-A BL2 is used.
108
109-  ``BL33_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies a
110   file that contains the BL33 private key in PEM format or a PKCS11 URI. If
111   ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, only a file is accepted and it will be used to save the key.
112
113-  ``BRANCH_PROTECTION``: Numeric value to enable ARMv8.3 Pointer Authentication
114   and ARMv8.5 Branch Target Identification support for TF-A BL images themselves.
115   If enabled, it is needed to use a compiler that supports the option
116   ``-mbranch-protection``. Selects the branch protection features to use:
117-  0: Default value turns off all types of branch protection
118-  1: Enables all types of branch protection features
119-  2: Return address signing to its standard level
120-  3: Extend the signing to include leaf functions
121-  4: Turn on branch target identification mechanism
122
123   The table below summarizes ``BRANCH_PROTECTION`` values, GCC compilation options
124   and resulting PAuth/BTI features.
125
126   +-------+--------------+-------+-----+
127   | Value |  GCC option  | PAuth | BTI |
128   +=======+==============+=======+=====+
129   |   0   |     none     |   N   |  N  |
130   +-------+--------------+-------+-----+
131   |   1   |   standard   |   Y   |  Y  |
132   +-------+--------------+-------+-----+
133   |   2   |   pac-ret    |   Y   |  N  |
134   +-------+--------------+-------+-----+
135   |   3   | pac-ret+leaf |   Y   |  N  |
136   +-------+--------------+-------+-----+
137   |   4   |     bti      |   N   |  Y  |
138   +-------+--------------+-------+-----+
139
140   This option defaults to 0.
141   Note that Pointer Authentication is enabled for Non-secure world
142   irrespective of the value of this option if the CPU supports it.
143
144-  ``BUILD_MESSAGE_TIMESTAMP``: String used to identify the time and date of the
145   compilation of each build. It must be set to a C string (including quotes
146   where applicable). Defaults to a string that contains the time and date of
147   the compilation.
148
149-  ``BUILD_STRING``: Input string for VERSION_STRING, which allows the TF-A
150   build to be uniquely identified. Defaults to the current git commit id.
151
152-  ``BUILD_BASE``: Output directory for the build. Defaults to ``./build``
153
154-  ``CFLAGS``: Extra user options appended on the compiler's command line in
155   addition to the options set by the build system.
156
157-  ``COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU``: This option indicates whether the platform may
158   release several CPUs out of reset. It can take either 0 (several CPUs may be
159   brought up) or 1 (only one CPU will ever be brought up during cold reset).
160   Default is 0. If the platform always brings up a single CPU, there is no
161   need to distinguish between primary and secondary CPUs and the boot path can
162   be optimised. The ``plat_is_my_cpu_primary()`` and
163   ``plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup()`` platform porting interfaces do not need
164   to be implemented in this case.
165
166-  ``COT``: When Trusted Boot is enabled, selects the desired chain of trust.
167   Defaults to ``tbbr``.
168
169-  ``CRASH_REPORTING``: A non-zero value enables a console dump of processor
170   register state when an unexpected exception occurs during execution of
171   BL31. This option defaults to the value of ``DEBUG`` - i.e. by default
172   this is only enabled for a debug build of the firmware.
173
174-  ``CREATE_KEYS``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It tells the
175   certificate generation tool to create new keys in case no valid keys are
176   present or specified. Allowed options are '0' or '1'. Default is '1'.
177
178-  ``CTX_INCLUDE_AARCH32_REGS`` : Boolean option that, when set to 1, will cause
179   the AArch32 system registers to be included when saving and restoring the
180   CPU context. The option must be set to 0 for AArch64-only platforms (that
181   is on hardware that does not implement AArch32, or at least not at EL1 and
182   higher ELs). Default value is 1.
183
184-  ``CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS``: Boolean option that, when set to 1, will cause the FP
185   registers to be included when saving and restoring the CPU context. Default
186   is 0.
187
188-  ``CTX_INCLUDE_MPAM_REGS``: Boolean option that, when set to 1, will cause the
189   Memory System Resource Partitioning and Monitoring (MPAM)
190   registers to be included when saving and restoring the CPU context.
191   Default is '0'.
192
193-  ``CTX_INCLUDE_NEVE_REGS``: Numeric value, when set will cause the Armv8.4-NV
194   registers to be saved/restored when entering/exiting an EL2 execution
195   context. This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with the
196   ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. Default value is 0.
197
198-  ``CTX_INCLUDE_PAUTH_REGS``: Numeric value to enable the Pointer
199   Authentication for Secure world. This will cause the ARMv8.3-PAuth registers
200   to be included when saving and restoring the CPU context as part of world
201   switch. This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with ``ENABLE_FEAT``
202   mechanism. Default value is 0.
203
204   Note that Pointer Authentication is enabled for Non-secure world irrespective
205   of the value of this flag if the CPU supports it.
206
207-  ``CTX_INCLUDE_SVE_REGS``: Boolean option that, when set to 1, will cause the
208   SVE registers to be included when saving and restoring the CPU context. Note
209   that this build option requires ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_SWD`` to be enabled. In
210   general, it is recommended to perform SVE context management in lower ELs
211   and skip in EL3 due to the additional cost of maintaining large data
212   structures to track the SVE state. Hence, the default value is 0.
213
214-  ``DEBUG``: Chooses between a debug and release build. It can take either 0
215   (release) or 1 (debug) as values. 0 is the default.
216
217-  ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT``: This build flag enables the user to select the
218   authenticated decryption algorithm to be used to decrypt firmware/s during
219   boot. It accepts 2 values: ``aes_gcm`` and ``none``. The default value of
220   this flag is ``none`` to disable firmware decryption which is an optional
221   feature as per TBBR.
222
223-  ``DISABLE_BIN_GENERATION``: Boolean option to disable the generation
224   of the binary image. If set to 1, then only the ELF image is built.
225   0 is the default.
226
227-  ``DISABLE_MTPMU``: Numeric option to disable ``FEAT_MTPMU`` (Multi Threaded
228   PMU). ``FEAT_MTPMU`` is an optional feature available on Armv8.6 onwards.
229   This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
230   mechanism. Default is ``0``.
231
232-  ``DYN_DISABLE_AUTH``: Provides the capability to dynamically disable Trusted
233   Board Boot authentication at runtime. This option is meant to be enabled only
234   for development platforms. ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` flag must be set if this
235   flag has to be enabled. 0 is the default.
236
237-  ``E``: Boolean option to make warnings into errors. Default is 1.
238
239   When specifying higher warnings levels (``W=1`` and higher), this option
240   defaults to 0. This is done to encourage contributors to use them, as they
241   are expected to produce warnings that would otherwise fail the build. New
242   contributions are still expected to build with ``W=0`` and ``E=1`` (the
243   default).
244
245-  ``EARLY_CONSOLE``: This option is used to enable early traces before default
246   console is properly setup. It introduces EARLY_* traces macros, that will
247   use the non-EARLY traces macros if the flag is enabled, or do nothing
248   otherwise. To use this feature, platforms will have to create the function
249   plat_setup_early_console().
250   Default is 0 (disabled)
251
252-  ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE``: This option enables booting an EL3 payload instead of
253   the normal boot flow. It must specify the entry point address of the EL3
254   payload. Please refer to the "Booting an EL3 payload" section for more
255   details.
256
257-  ``ENABLE_AMU_AUXILIARY_COUNTERS``: Enables support for AMU auxiliary counters
258   (also known as group 1 counters). These are implementation-defined counters,
259   and as such require additional platform configuration. Default is 0.
260
261-  ``ENABLE_AMU_FCONF``: Enables configuration of the AMU through FCONF, which
262   allows platforms with auxiliary counters to describe them via the
263   ``HW_CONFIG`` device tree blob. Default is 0.
264
265-  ``ENABLE_ASSERTIONS``: This option controls whether or not calls to ``assert()``
266   are compiled out. For debug builds, this option defaults to 1, and calls to
267   ``assert()`` are left in place. For release builds, this option defaults to 0
268   and calls to ``assert()`` function are compiled out. This option can be set
269   independently of ``DEBUG``. It can also be used to hide any auxiliary code
270   that is only required for the assertion and does not fit in the assertion
271   itself.
272
273-  ``ENABLE_BACKTRACE``: This option controls whether to enable backtrace
274   dumps or not. It is supported in both AArch64 and AArch32. However, in
275   AArch32 the format of the frame records are not defined in the AAPCS and they
276   are defined by the implementation. This implementation of backtrace only
277   supports the format used by GCC when T32 interworking is disabled. For this
278   reason enabling this option in AArch32 will force the compiler to only
279   generate A32 code. This option is enabled by default only in AArch64 debug
280   builds, but this behaviour can be overridden in each platform's Makefile or
281   in the build command line.
282
283-  ``ENABLE_FEAT``
284   The Arm architecture defines several architecture extension features,
285   named FEAT_xxx in the architecure manual. Some of those features require
286   setup code in higher exception levels, other features might be used by TF-A
287   code itself.
288   Most of the feature flags defined in the TF-A build system permit to take
289   the values 0, 1 or 2, with the following meaning:
290
291   ::
292
293     ENABLE_FEAT_* = 0: Feature is disabled statically at compile time.
294     ENABLE_FEAT_* = 1: Feature is enabled unconditionally at compile time.
295     ENABLE_FEAT_* = 2: Feature is enabled, but checked at runtime.
296
297   When setting the flag to 0, the feature is disabled during compilation,
298   and the compiler's optimisation stage and the linker will try to remove
299   as much of this code as possible.
300   If it is defined to 1, the code will use the feature unconditionally, so the
301   CPU is expected to support that feature. The FEATURE_DETECTION debug
302   feature, if enabled, will verify this.
303   If the feature flag is set to 2, support for the feature will be compiled
304   in, but its existence will be checked at runtime, so it works on CPUs with
305   or without the feature. This is mostly useful for platforms which either
306   support multiple different CPUs, or where the CPU is configured at runtime,
307   like in emulators.
308
309-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_AMU``: Numeric value to enable Activity Monitor Unit
310   extensions. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the
311   ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. This is an optional architectural feature
312   available on v8.4 onwards. Some v8.2 implementations also implement an AMU
313   and this option can be used to enable this feature on those systems as well.
314   This flag can take the values 0 to 2, the default is 0.
315
316-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_AMUv1p1``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_AMUv1p1``
317   extension. ``FEAT_AMUv1p1`` is an optional feature available on Arm v8.6
318   onwards. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the
319   ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. Default value is ``0``.

322   extension. It allows access to the SCXTNUM_EL2 (Software Context Number)
323   register during EL2 context save/restore operations. ``FEAT_CSV2_2`` is an
324   optional feature available on Arm v8.0 onwards. This flag can take values
325   0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism.
326   Default value is ``0``.
327
328-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_CSV2_3``: Numeric value to enable support for ``FEAT_CSV2_3``
329   extension. This feature is supported in AArch64 state only and is an optional
330   feature available in Arm v8.0 implementations.
331   ``FEAT_CSV2_3`` implies the implementation of ``FEAT_CSV2_2``.
332   The flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
333   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
334
335- ``ENABLE_FEAT_DEBUGV8P9``: Numeric value to enable ``FEAT_DEBUGV8P9``
336   extension which allows the ability to implement more than 16 breakpoints
337   and/or watchpoints. This feature is mandatory from v8.9 and is optional
338   from v8.8. This flag can take the values of 0 to 2, to align with the
339   ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
340
341-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_DIT``: Numeric value to enable ``FEAT_DIT`` (Data Independent
342   Timing) extension. It allows setting the ``DIT`` bit of PSTATE in EL3.
343   ``FEAT_DIT`` is a mandatory  architectural feature and is enabled from v8.4
344   and upwards. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the
345   ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
346
347-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_ECV``: Numeric value to enable support for the Enhanced Counter
348   Virtualization feature, allowing for access to the CNTPOFF_EL2 (Counter-timer
349   Physical Offset register) during EL2 to EL3 context save/restore operations.
350   Its a mandatory architectural feature and is enabled from v8.6 and upwards.

367-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_FGT2``: Numeric value to enable support for FGT2
368   (Fine Grain Traps 2) feature allowing for access to Fine-grained trap 2 registers
369   during  EL2 to EL3 context save/restore operations.
370   Its an optional architectural feature and is available from v8.8 and upwards.
371   This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
372   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
373
374-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_HCX``: Numeric value to set the bit SCR_EL3.HXEn in EL3 to
375   allow access to HCRX_EL2 (extended hypervisor control register) from EL2 as
376   well as adding HCRX_EL2 to the EL2 context save/restore operations. Its a
377   mandatory architectural feature and is enabled from v8.7 and upwards. This
378   flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
379   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
380
381-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_MTE2``: Numeric value to enable Memory Tagging Extension2

384   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
385
386-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_PAN``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_PAN`` (Privileged
387   Access Never) extension. ``FEAT_PAN`` adds a bit to PSTATE, generating a
388   permission fault for any privileged data access from EL1/EL2 to virtual
389   memory address, accessible at EL0, provided (HCR_EL2.E2H=1). It is a
390   mandatory architectural feature and is enabled from v8.1 and upwards. This
391   flag can take values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
392   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
393
394-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_RNG``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_RNG`` extension.
395   ``FEAT_RNG`` is an optional feature available on Arm v8.5 onwards. This
396   flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
397   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
398
399-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_RNG_TRAP``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_RNG_TRAP``
400   extension. This feature is only supported in AArch64 state. This flag can
401   take values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism.
402   Default value is ``0``. ``FEAT_RNG_TRAP`` is an optional feature from
403   Armv8.5 onwards.
404
405-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_SB``: Boolean option to let the TF-A code use the ``FEAT_SB``
406   (Speculation Barrier) instruction ``FEAT_SB`` is an optional feature and
407   defaults to ``0`` for pre-Armv8.5 CPUs, but is mandatory for Armv8.5 or
408   later CPUs. It is enabled from v8.5 and upwards and if needed can be
409   overidden from platforms explicitly.
410
411-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_SEL2``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_SEL2`` (Secure EL2)
412   extension. ``FEAT_SEL2`` is a mandatory feature available on Arm v8.4.
413   This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
414   mechanism. Default is ``0``.
415
416-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_TWED``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_TWED`` (Delayed
417   trapping of WFE Instruction) extension. ``FEAT_TWED`` is a optional feature
418   available on Arm v8.6. This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with the
419   ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. Default is ``0``.
420
421    When ``ENABLE_FEAT_TWED`` is set to ``1``, WFE instruction trapping gets
422    delayed by the amount of value in ``TWED_DELAY``.
423
424-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_VHE``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_VHE`` (Virtualization
425   Host Extensions) extension. It allows access to CONTEXTIDR_EL2 register
426   during EL2 context save/restore operations.``FEAT_VHE`` is a mandatory
427   architectural feature and is enabled from v8.1 and upwards. It can take
428   values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism.
429   Default value is ``0``.
430
431-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_TCR2``: Numeric value to set the bit SCR_EL3.ENTCR2 in EL3 to
432   allow access to TCR2_EL2 (extended translation control) from EL2 as
433   well as adding TCR2_EL2 to the EL2 context save/restore operations. Its a
434   mandatory architectural feature and is enabled from v8.9 and upwards. This
435   flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
436   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
437
438-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_S2PIE``: Numeric value to enable support for FEAT_S2PIE
439   at EL2 and below, and context switch relevant registers.  This flag
440   can take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
441   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
442

444   at EL2 and below, and context switch relevant registers.  This flag
445   can take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
446   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
447
448-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_S2POE``: Numeric value to enable support for FEAT_S2POE
449   at EL2 and below, and context switch relevant registers.  This flag
450   can take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
451   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
452
453-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_S1POE``: Numeric value to enable support for FEAT_S1POE
454   at EL2 and below, and context switch relevant registers.  This flag
455   can take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
456   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
457
458-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_GCS``: Numeric value to set the bit SCR_EL3.GCSEn in EL3 to
459   allow use of Guarded Control Stack from EL2 as well as adding the GCS
460   registers to the EL2 context save/restore operations. This flag can take
461   the values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism.
462   Default value is ``0``.
463
464-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_THE``: Numeric value to enable support for FEAT_THE
465   (Translation Hardening Extension) at EL2 and below, setting the bit
466   SCR_EL3.RCWMASKEn in EL3 to allow access to RCWMASK_EL1 and RCWSMASK_EL1
467   registers and context switch them.
468   Its an optional architectural feature and is available from v8.8 and upwards.
469   This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
470   mechanism. Default value is ``0``.
471
472-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_SCTLR2``: Numeric value to enable support for FEAT_SCTLR2
473   (Extension to SCTLR_ELx) at EL2 and below, setting the bit
474   SCR_EL3.SCTLR2En in EL3 to allow access to SCTLR2_ELx registers and
475   context switch them. 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  |            256 (default)           |
741   +---------------------------+------------------------------------+
742   |  ecdsa-brainpool-twisted  |            256 (default)           |
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-  ``ARCH_FEATURE_AVAILABILITY``: Boolean flag to enable support for the
862   optional SMCCC_ARCH_FEATURE_AVAILABILITY call. This option implicitly
863   interacts with IMPDEF_SYSREG_TRAP and software emulation. This option
864   defaults to 0.
865
866-  ``ENABLE_FEAT_RAS``: Boolean flag to enable Armv8.2 RAS features. RAS features
867   are an optional extension for pre-Armv8.2 CPUs, but are mandatory for Armv8.2
868   or later CPUs. This flag can take the values 0 or 1. The default value is 0.
869   NOTE: This flag enables use of IESB capability to reduce entry latency into
870   EL3 even when RAS error handling is not performed on the platform. Hence this
871   flag is recommended to be turned on Armv8.2 and later CPUs.
872
873-  ``RESET_TO_BL31``: Enable BL31 entrypoint as the CPU reset vector instead
874   of the BL1 entrypoint. It can take the value 0 (CPU reset to BL1
875   entrypoint) or 1 (CPU reset to BL31 entrypoint).
876   The default value is 0.
877
878-  ``RESET_TO_SP_MIN``: SP_MIN is the minimal AArch32 Secure Payload provided
879   in TF-A. This flag configures SP_MIN entrypoint as the CPU reset vector
880   instead of the BL1 entrypoint. It can take the value 0 (CPU reset to BL1
881   entrypoint) or 1 (CPU reset to SP_MIN entrypoint). The default value is 0.
882
883-  ``RME_GPT_BITLOCK_BLOCK``: This defines the block size (in number of 512MB
884-  blocks) covered by a single bit of the bitlock structure during RME GPT
885-  operations. The lower the block size, the better opportunity for
886-  parallelising GPT operations but at the cost of more bits being needed
887-  for the bitlock structure. This numeric parameter can take the values
888-  from 0 to 512 and must be a power of 2. The value of 0 is special and
889-  and it chooses a single spinlock for all GPT L1 table entries. Default
890-  value is 1 which corresponds to block size of 512MB per bit of bitlock
891-  structure.
892
893-  ``RME_GPT_MAX_BLOCK``: Numeric value in MB to define the maximum size of
894   supported contiguous blocks in GPT Library. This parameter can take the
895   values 0, 2, 32 and 512. Setting this value to 0 disables use of Contigious
896   descriptors. Default value is 512.
897
898-  ``ROT_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies a
899   file that contains the ROT private key in PEM format or a PKCS11 URI and
900   enforces public key hash generation. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, only a file is
901   accepted and it will be used to save the key.
902
903-  ``SAVE_KEYS``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It tells the
904   certificate generation tool to save the keys used to establish the Chain of
905   Trust. Allowed options are '0' or '1'. Default is '0' (do not save).
906
907-  ``SCP_BL2``: Path to SCP_BL2 image in the host file system. This image is optional.
908   If a SCP_BL2 image is present then this option must be passed for the ``fip``
909   target.
910
911-  ``SCP_BL2_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies a
912   file that contains the SCP_BL2 private key in PEM format or a PKCS11 URI.
913   If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, only a file is accepted and it will be used to save the key.
914
915-  ``SCP_BL2U``: Path to SCP_BL2U image in the host file system. This image is
916   optional. It is only needed if the platform makefile specifies that it
917   is required in order to build the ``fwu_fip`` target.
918
919-  ``SDEI_SUPPORT``: Setting this to ``1`` enables support for Software
920   Delegated Exception Interface to BL31 image. This defaults to ``0``.
921
922   When set to ``1``, the build option ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING`` must also be
923   set to ``1``.
924
925-  ``SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA``: Whether code and read-only data should be
926   isolated on separate memory pages. This is a trade-off between security and
927   memory usage. See "Isolating code and read-only data on separate memory
928   pages" section in :ref:`Firmware Design`. This flag is disabled by default
929   and affects all BL images.
930
931-  ``SEPARATE_NOBITS_REGION``: Setting this option to ``1`` allows the NOBITS
932   sections of BL31 (.bss, stacks, page tables, and coherent memory) to be
933   allocated in RAM discontiguous from the loaded firmware image. When set, the
934   platform is expected to provide definitions for ``BL31_NOBITS_BASE`` and
935   ``BL31_NOBITS_LIMIT``. When the option is ``0`` (the default), NOBITS
936   sections are placed in RAM immediately following the loaded firmware image.
937
938-  ``SEPARATE_BL2_NOLOAD_REGION``: Setting this option to ``1`` allows the
939   NOLOAD sections of BL2 (.bss, stacks, page tables) to be allocated in RAM
940   discontiguous from loaded firmware images. When set, the platform need to
941   provide definitions of ``BL2_NOLOAD_START`` and ``BL2_NOLOAD_LIMIT``. This
942   flag is disabled by default and NOLOAD sections are placed in RAM immediately
943   following the loaded firmware image.
944
945-  ``SEPARATE_SIMD_SECTION``: Setting this option to ``1`` allows the SIMD context
946    data structures to be put in a dedicated memory region as decided by platform
947    integrator. Default value is ``0`` which means the SIMD context is put in BSS
948    section of EL3 firmware.
949
950-  ``SMC_PCI_SUPPORT``: This option allows platforms to handle PCI configuration
951   access requests via a standard SMCCC defined in `DEN0115`_. When combined with
952   UEFI+ACPI this can provide a certain amount of OS forward compatibility
953   with newer platforms that aren't ECAM compliant.
954
955-  ``SPD``: Choose a Secure Payload Dispatcher component to be built into TF-A.
956   This build option is only valid if ``ARCH=aarch64``. The value should be
957   the path to the directory containing the SPD source, relative to
958   ``services/spd/``; the directory is expected to contain a makefile called
959   ``<spd-value>.mk``. The SPM Dispatcher standard service is located in
960   services/std_svc/spmd and enabled by ``SPD=spmd``. The SPM Dispatcher
961   cannot be enabled when the ``SPM_MM`` option is enabled.
962
963-  ``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT``: This option introduces an infinite loop in BL1. It can
964   take either 0 (no loop) or 1 (add a loop). 0 is the default. This loop stops
965   execution in BL1 just before handing over to BL31. At this point, all
966   firmware images have been loaded in memory, and the MMU and caches are
967   turned off. Refer to the "Debugging options" section for more details.
968
969-  ``SPMC_AT_EL3`` : This boolean option is used jointly with the SPM
970   Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``). When enabled (1) it indicates the SPMC
971   component runs at the EL3 exception level. The default value is ``0`` (
972   disabled). This configuration supports pre-Armv8.4 platforms (aka not
973   implementing the ``FEAT_SEL2`` extension).
974
975-  ``SPMC_AT_EL3_SEL0_SP`` : Boolean option to enable SEL0 SP load support when
976   ``SPMC_AT_EL3`` is enabled. The default value if ``0`` (disabled). This
977   option cannot be enabled (``1``) when (``SPMC_AT_EL3``) is disabled.
978
979-  ``SPMC_OPTEE`` : This boolean option is used jointly with the SPM
980   Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``) and with ``SPMD_SPM_AT_SEL2=0`` to
981   indicate that the SPMC at S-EL1 is OP-TEE and an OP-TEE specific loading
982   mechanism should be used.
983
984-  ``SPMD_SPM_AT_SEL2`` : This boolean option is used jointly with the SPM
985   Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``). When enabled (1) it indicates the SPMC
986   component runs at the S-EL2 exception level provided by the ``FEAT_SEL2``
987   extension. This is the default when enabling the SPM Dispatcher. When
988   disabled (0) it indicates the SPMC component runs at the S-EL1 execution
989   state or at EL3 if ``SPMC_AT_EL3`` is enabled. The latter configurations
990   support pre-Armv8.4 platforms (aka not implementing the ``FEAT_SEL2``
991   extension).
992
993-  ``SPM_MM`` : Boolean option to enable the Management Mode (MM)-based Secure
994   Partition Manager (SPM) implementation. The default value is ``0``
995   (disabled). This option cannot be enabled (``1``) when SPM Dispatcher is
996   enabled (``SPD=spmd``).
997
998-  ``SP_LAYOUT_FILE``: Platform provided path to JSON file containing the
999   description of secure partitions. The build system will parse this file and
1000   package all secure partition blobs into the FIP. This file is not
1001   necessarily part of TF-A tree. Only available when ``SPD=spmd``.
1002
1003-  ``SP_MIN_WITH_SECURE_FIQ``: Boolean flag to indicate the SP_MIN handles
1004   secure interrupts (caught through the FIQ line). Platforms can enable
1005   this directive if they need to handle such interruption. When enabled,
1006   the FIQ are handled in monitor mode and non secure world is not allowed
1007   to mask these events. Platforms that enable FIQ handling in SP_MIN shall
1008   implement the api ``sp_min_plat_fiq_handler()``. The default value is 0.
1009
1010-  ``SVE_VECTOR_LEN``: SVE vector length to configure in ZCR_EL3.
1011   Platforms can configure this if they need to lower the hardware
1012   limit, for example due to asymmetric configuration or limitations of
1013   software run at lower ELs. The default is the architectural maximum
1014   of 2048 which should be suitable for most configurations, the
1015   hardware will limit the effective VL to the maximum physically supported
1016   VL.
1017
1018-  ``TRNG_SUPPORT``: Setting this to ``1`` enables support for True
1019   Random Number Generator Interface to BL31 image. This defaults to ``0``.
1020
1021-  ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT``: Boolean flag to include support for the Trusted Board
1022   Boot feature. When set to '1', BL1 and BL2 images include support to load
1023   and verify the certificates and images in a FIP, and BL1 includes support
1024   for the Firmware Update. The default value is '0'. Generation and inclusion
1025   of certificates in the FIP and FWU_FIP depends upon the value of the
1026   ``GENERATE_COT`` option.
1027
1028   .. warning::
1029      This option depends on ``CREATE_KEYS`` to be enabled. If the keys
1030      already exist in disk, they will be overwritten without further notice.
1031
1032-  ``TRUSTED_WORLD_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It
1033   specifies a file that contains the Trusted World private key in PEM
1034   format or a PKCS11 URI. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, only a file is accepted and
1035   it will be used to save the key.
1036
1037-  ``TSP_INIT_ASYNC``: Choose BL32 initialization method as asynchronous or
1038   synchronous, (see "Initializing a BL32 Image" section in
1039   :ref:`Firmware Design`). It can take the value 0 (BL32 is initialized using
1040   synchronous method) or 1 (BL32 is initialized using asynchronous method).
1041   Default is 0.
1042
1043-  ``TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT``: A non zero value enables the interrupt
1044   routing model which routes non-secure interrupts asynchronously from TSP
1045   to EL3 causing immediate preemption of TSP. The EL3 is responsible
1046   for saving and restoring the TSP context in this routing model. The
1047   default routing model (when the value is 0) is to route non-secure
1048   interrupts to TSP allowing it to save its context and hand over
1049   synchronously to EL3 via an SMC.
1050
1051   .. note::
1052      When ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING`` is ``1``, ``TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT``
1053      must also be set to ``1``.
1054
1055-  ``TS_SP_FW_CONFIG``: DTC build flag to include Trusted Services (Crypto and
1056   internal-trusted-storage) as SP in tb_fw_config device tree.
1057
1058-  ``TWED_DELAY``: Numeric value to be set in order to delay the trapping of
1059   WFE instruction. ``ENABLE_FEAT_TWED`` build option must be enabled to set
1060   this delay. It can take values in the range (0-15). Default value is ``0``
1061   and based on this value, 2^(TWED_DELAY + 8) cycles will be delayed.
1062   Platforms need to explicitly update this value based on their requirements.
1063
1064-  ``USE_ARM_LINK``: This flag determines whether to enable support for ARM
1065   linker. When the ``LINKER`` build variable points to the armlink linker,
1066   this flag is enabled automatically. To enable support for armlink, platforms
1067   will have to provide a scatter file for the BL image. Currently, Tegra
1068   platforms use the armlink support to compile BL3-1 images.
1069
1070-  ``USE_COHERENT_MEM``: This flag determines whether to include the coherent
1071   memory region in the BL memory map or not (see "Use of Coherent memory in
1072   TF-A" section in :ref:`Firmware Design`). It can take the value 1
1073   (Coherent memory region is included) or 0 (Coherent memory region is
1074   excluded). Default is 1.
1075
1076-  ``ARM_IO_IN_DTB``: This flag determines whether to use IO based on the
1077   firmware configuration framework. This will move the io_policies into a
1078   configuration device tree, instead of static structure in the code base.
1079
1080-  ``COT_DESC_IN_DTB``: This flag determines whether to create COT descriptors
1081   at runtime using fconf. If this flag is enabled, COT descriptors are
1082   statically captured in tb_fw_config file in the form of device tree nodes
1083   and properties. Currently, COT descriptors used by BL2 are moved to the
1084   device tree and COT descriptors used by BL1 are retained in the code
1085   base statically.
1086
1087-  ``SDEI_IN_FCONF``: This flag determines whether to configure SDEI setup in
1088   runtime using firmware configuration framework. The platform specific SDEI
1089   shared and private events configuration is retrieved from device tree rather
1090   than static C structures at compile time. This is only supported if
1091   SDEI_SUPPORT build flag is enabled.
1092
1093-  ``SEC_INT_DESC_IN_FCONF``: This flag determines whether to configure Group 0
1094   and Group1 secure interrupts using the firmware configuration framework. The
1095   platform specific secure interrupt property descriptor is retrieved from
1096   device tree in runtime rather than depending on static C structure at compile
1097   time.
1098
1099-  ``USE_ROMLIB``: This flag determines whether library at ROM will be used.
1100   This feature creates a library of functions to be placed in ROM and thus
1101   reduces SRAM usage. Refer to :ref:`Library at ROM` for further details. Default
1102   is 0.
1103
1104-  ``V``: Verbose build. If assigned anything other than 0, the build commands
1105   are printed. Default is 0.
1106
1107-  ``VERSION_STRING``: String used in the log output for each TF-A image.
1108   Defaults to a string formed by concatenating the version number, build type
1109   and build string.
1110
1111-  ``W``: Warning level. Some compiler warning options of interest have been
1112   regrouped and put in the root Makefile. This flag can take the values 0 to 3,
1113   each level enabling more warning options. Default is 0.
1114
1115   This option is closely related to the ``E`` option, which enables
1116   ``-Werror``.
1117
1118   - ``W=0`` (default)
1119
1120     Enables a wide assortment of warnings, most notably ``-Wall`` and
1121     ``-Wextra``, as well as various bad practices and things that are likely to
1122     result in errors. Includes some compiler specific flags. No warnings are
1123     expected at this level for any build.
1124
1125   - ``W=1``
1126
1127     Enables warnings we want the generic build to include but are too time
1128     consuming to fix at the moment. It re-enables warnings taken out for
1129     ``W=0`` builds (a few of the ``-Wextra`` additions). This level is expected
1130     to eventually be merged into ``W=0``. Some warnings are expected on some
1131     builds, but new contributions should not introduce new ones.
1132
1133   - ``W=2`` (recommended)
1134
1135    Enables warnings we want the generic build to include but cannot be enabled
1136    due to external libraries. This level is expected to eventually be merged
1137    into ``W=0``. Lots of warnings are expected, primarily from external
1138    libraries like zlib and compiler-rt, but new controbutions should not
1139    introduce new ones.
1140
1141   - ``W=3``
1142
1143     Enables warnings that are informative but not necessary and generally too
1144     verbose and frequently ignored. A very large number of warnings are
1145     expected.
1146
1147   The exact set of warning flags depends on the compiler and TF-A warning
1148   level, however they are all succinctly set in the top-level Makefile. Please
1149   refer to the `GCC`_ or `Clang`_ documentation for more information on the
1150   individual flags.
1151
1152-  ``WARMBOOT_ENABLE_DCACHE_EARLY`` : Boolean option to enable D-cache early on
1153   the CPU after warm boot. This is applicable for platforms which do not
1154   require interconnect programming to enable cache coherency (eg: single
1155   cluster platforms). If this option is enabled, then warm boot path
1156   enables D-caches immediately after enabling MMU. This option defaults to 0.
1157
1158-  ``SUPPORT_STACK_MEMTAG``: This flag determines whether to enable memory
1159   tagging for stack or not. It accepts 2 values: ``yes`` and ``no``. The
1160   default value of this flag is ``no``. Note this option must be enabled only
1161   for ARM architecture greater than Armv8.5-A.
1162
1163-  ``ERRATA_SPECULATIVE_AT``: This flag determines whether to enable ``AT``
1164   speculative errata workaround or not. It accepts 2 values: ``1`` and ``0``.
1165   The default value of this flag is ``0``.
1166
1167   ``AT`` speculative errata workaround disables stage1 page table walk for
1168   lower ELs (EL1 and EL0) in EL3 so that ``AT`` speculative fetch at any point
1169   produces either the correct result or failure without TLB allocation.
1170
1171   This boolean option enables errata for all below CPUs.
1172
1173   +---------+--------------+-------------------------+
1174   | Errata  |      CPU     |     Workaround Define   |

1186
1187   .. note::
1188      This option is enabled by build only if platform sets any of above defines
1189      mentioned in ’Workaround Define' column in the table.
1190      If this option is enabled for the EL3 software then EL2 software also must
1191      implement this workaround due to the behaviour of the errata mentioned
1192      in new SDEN document which will get published soon.
1193
1194- ``RAS_TRAP_NS_ERR_REC_ACCESS``: This flag enables/disables the SCR_EL3.TERR
1195  bit, to trap access to the RAS ERR and RAS ERX registers from lower ELs.
1196  This flag is disabled by default.
1197
1198- ``OPENSSL_DIR``: This option is used to provide the path to a directory on the
1199  host machine where a custom installation of OpenSSL is located, which is used
1200  to build the certificate generation, firmware encryption and FIP tools. If
1201  this option is not set, the default OS installation will be used.
1202
1203- ``USE_SP804_TIMER``: Use the SP804 timer instead of the Generic Timer for
1204  functions that wait for an arbitrary time length (udelay and mdelay). The
1205  default value is 0.
1206
1207- ``ENABLE_BRBE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable access to the branch record
1208  buffer registers from NS ELs when FEAT_BRBE is implemented. BRBE is an
1209  optional architectural feature for AArch64. This flag can take the values
1210  0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. The default is 0
1211  and it is automatically disabled when the target architecture is AArch32.
1212
1213- ``ENABLE_TRBE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable access of trace buffer
1214  control registers from NS ELs, NS-EL2 or NS-EL1(when NS-EL2 is implemented
1215  but unused) when FEAT_TRBE is implemented. TRBE is an optional architectural
1216  feature for AArch64. This flag can take the values  0 to 2, to align with the
1217  ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. The default is 0 and it is automatically
1218  disabled when the target architecture is AArch32.
1219
1220- ``ENABLE_SYS_REG_TRACE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable trace system
1221  registers access from NS ELs, NS-EL2 or NS-EL1 (when NS-EL2 is implemented
1222  but unused). This feature is available if trace unit such as ETMv4.x, and
1223  ETE(extending ETM feature) is implemented. This flag can take the values
1224  0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. The default is 0.
1225
1226- ``ENABLE_TRF_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable trace filter control registers
1227  access from NS ELs, NS-EL2 or NS-EL1 (when NS-EL2 is implemented but unused),
1228  if FEAT_TRF is implemented. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align
1229  with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. This flag is disabled by default.
1230
1231- ``CONDITIONAL_CMO``: Boolean option to enable call to platform-defined routine
1232  ``plat_can_cmo`` which will return zero if cache management operations should
1233  be skipped and non-zero otherwise. By default, this option is disabled which
1234  means platform hook won't be checked and CMOs will always be performed when
1235  related functions are called.
1236
1237- ``ERRATA_ABI_SUPPORT``: Boolean option to enable support for Errata management
1238  firmware interface for the BL31 image. By default its disabled (``0``).
1239
1240- ``ERRATA_NON_ARM_INTERCONNECT``: Boolean option to enable support for the
1241  errata mitigation for platforms with a non-arm interconnect using the errata
1242  ABI. By default its disabled (``0``).
1243
1244- ``ENABLE_CONSOLE_GETC``: Boolean option to enable `getc()` feature in console
1245  driver(s). By default it is disabled (``0``) because it constitutes an attack
1246  vector into TF-A by potentially allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary data.
1247  This option should only be enabled on a need basis if there is a use case for
1248  reading characters from the console.
1249
1250GICv3 driver options
1251--------------------
1252
1253GICv3 driver files are included using directive:
1254
1255``include drivers/arm/gic/v3/gicv3.mk``
1256
1257The driver can be configured with the following options set in the platform
1258makefile:
1259
1260-  ``GICV3_SUPPORT_GIC600``: Add support for the GIC-600 variants of GICv3.
1261   Enabling this option will add runtime detection support for the
1262   GIC-600, so is safe to select even for a GIC500 implementation.
1263   This option defaults to 0.
1264
1265- ``GICV3_SUPPORT_GIC600AE_FMU``: Add support for the Fault Management Unit
1266   for GIC-600 AE. Enabling this option will introduce support to initialize
1267   the FMU. Platforms should call the init function during boot to enable the
1268   FMU and its safety mechanisms. This option defaults to 0.
1269
1270-  ``GICV3_IMPL_GIC600_MULTICHIP``: Selects GIC-600 variant with multichip
1271   functionality. This option defaults to 0
1272
1273-  ``GICV3_OVERRIDE_DISTIF_PWR_OPS``: Allows override of default implementation
1274   of ``arm_gicv3_distif_pre_save`` and ``arm_gicv3_distif_post_restore``
1275   functions. This is required for FVP platform which need to simulate GIC save
1276   and restore during SYSTEM_SUSPEND without powering down GIC. Default is 0.
1277
1278-  ``GIC_ENABLE_V4_EXTN`` : Enables GICv4 related changes in GICv3 driver.
1279   This option defaults to 0.
1280
1281-  ``GIC_EXT_INTID``: When set to ``1``, GICv3 driver will support extended
1282   PPI (1056-1119) and SPI (4096-5119) range. This option defaults to 0.
1283
1284Debugging options
1285-----------------
1286
1287To compile a debug version and make the build more verbose use
1288
1289.. code:: shell
1290
1291    make PLAT=<platform> DEBUG=1 V=1 all
1292
1293AArch64 GCC 11 uses DWARF version 5 debugging symbols by default. Some tools
1294(for example Arm-DS) might not support this and may need an older version of
1295DWARF symbols to be emitted by GCC. This can be achieved by using the
1296``-gdwarf-<version>`` flag, with the version being set to 2, 3, 4 or 5. Setting
1297the version to 4 is recommended for Arm-DS.
1298
1299When debugging logic problems it might also be useful to disable all compiler
1300optimizations by using ``-O0``.
1301
1302.. warning::
1303   Using ``-O0`` could cause output images to be larger and base addresses
1304   might need to be recalculated (see the **Memory layout on Arm development
1305   platforms** section in the :ref:`Firmware Design`).
1306
1307Extra debug options can be passed to the build system by setting ``CFLAGS`` or
1308``LDFLAGS``:
1309
1310.. code:: shell
1311
1312    CFLAGS='-O0 -gdwarf-2'                                     \
1313    make PLAT=<platform> DEBUG=1 V=1 all
1314
1315Note that using ``-Wl,`` style compilation driver options in ``CFLAGS`` will be
1316ignored as the linker is called directly.
1317
1318It is also possible to introduce an infinite loop to help in debugging the
1319post-BL2 phase of TF-A. This can be done by rebuilding BL1 with the
1320``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT=1`` build flag. Refer to the :ref:`build_options_common`
1321section. In this case, the developer may take control of the target using a
1322debugger when indicated by the console output. When using Arm-DS, the following
1323commands can be used:
1324
1325::
1326
1327    # Stop target execution
1328    interrupt
1329
1330    #
1331    # Prepare your debugging environment, e.g. set breakpoints
1332    #
1333
1334    # Jump over the debug loop
1335    set var $AARCH64::$Core::$PC = $AARCH64::$Core::$PC + 4
1336
1337    # Resume execution
1338    continue
1339

1341
1342Experimental build options
1343---------------------------
1344
1345Common build options
1346~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1347
1348-  ``DICE_PROTECTION_ENVIRONMENT``: Boolean flag to specify the measured boot
1349   backend when ``MEASURED_BOOT`` is enabled. The default value is ``0``. When
1350   set to ``1`` then measurements and additional metadata collected during the
1351   measured boot process are sent to the DICE Protection Environment for storage
1352   and processing. A certificate chain, which represents the boot state of the
1353   device, can be queried from the DPE.
1354
1355-  ``DRTM_SUPPORT``: Boolean flag to enable support for Dynamic Root of Trust
1356   for Measurement (DRTM). This feature has trust dependency on BL31 for taking
1357   the measurements and recording them as per `PSA DRTM specification`_. For
1358   platforms which use BL2 to load/authenticate BL31 ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` can
1359   be used and for the platforms which use ``RESET_TO_BL31`` platform owners
1360   should have mechanism to authenticate BL31. This option defaults to 0.
1361
1362-  ``ENABLE_RME``: Numeric value to enable support for the ARMv9 Realm
1363   Management Extension. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with
1364   the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. Default value is 0.
1365
1366-  ``RMMD_ENABLE_EL3_TOKEN_SIGN``: Numeric value to enable support for singing
1367   realm attestation token signing requests in EL3. This flag can take the
1368   values 0 and 1. The default value is ``0``. When set to ``1``, this option
1369   enables additional RMMD SMCs to push and pop requests for signing to
1370   EL3 along with platform hooks that must be implemented to service those
1371   requests and responses.
1372
1373-  ``ENABLE_SME_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable Scalable Matrix Extension
1374   (SME), SVE, and FPU/SIMD for the non-secure world only. These features share
1375   registers so are enabled together. Using this option without
1376   ENABLE_SME_FOR_SWD=1 will cause SME, SVE, and FPU/SIMD instructions in secure
1377   world to trap to EL3. Requires ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS`` to be set as SME is a
1378   superset of SVE. SME is an optional architectural feature for AArch64.
1379   At this time, this build option cannot be used on systems that have
1380   SPD=spmd/SPM_MM and atempting to build with this option will fail.
1381   This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT``
1382   mechanism. Default is 0.
1383
1384-  ``ENABLE_SME2_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable Scalable Matrix Extension
1385   version 2 (SME2) for the non-secure world only. SME2 is an optional
1386   architectural feature for AArch64.
1387   This should be set along with ENABLE_SME_FOR_NS=1, if not, the default SME
1388   accesses will still be trapped. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to
1389   align with the ``ENABLE_FEAT`` mechanism. Default is 0.
1390
1391-  ``ENABLE_SME_FOR_SWD``: Boolean option to enable the Scalable Matrix
1392   Extension for secure world. Used along with SVE and FPU/SIMD.
1393   ENABLE_SME_FOR_NS and ENABLE_SVE_FOR_SWD must also be set to use this.
1394   Default is 0.
1395
1396-  ``ENABLE_SPMD_LP`` : This boolean option is used jointly with the SPM
1397   Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``). When enabled (1) it indicates support
1398   for logical partitions in EL3, managed by the SPMD as defined in the
1399   FF-A v1.2 specification. This flag is disabled by default. This flag
1400   must not be used if ``SPMC_AT_EL3`` is enabled.
1401
1402-  ``FEATURE_DETECTION``: Boolean option to enable the architectural features
1403   verification mechanism. This is a debug feature that compares the
1404   architectural features enabled through the feature specific build flags
1405   (ENABLE_FEAT_xxx) with the features actually available on the CPU running,
1406   and reports any discrepancies.
1407   This flag will also enable errata ordering checking for ``DEBUG`` builds.
1408
1409   It is expected that this feature is only used for flexible platforms like
1410   software emulators, or for hardware platforms at bringup time, to verify
1411   that the configured feature set matches the CPU.
1412   The ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` macro is disabled by default.
1413
1414-  ``PSA_CRYPTO``: Boolean option for enabling MbedTLS PSA crypto APIs support.
1415   The platform will use PSA compliant Crypto APIs during authentication and
1416   image measurement process by enabling this option. It uses APIs defined as
1417   per the `PSA Crypto API specification`_. This feature is only supported if
1418   using MbedTLS 3.x version. It is disabled (``0``) by default.
1419
1420-  ``TRANSFER_LIST``: Setting this to ``1`` enables support for Firmware
1421   Handoff using Transfer List defined in `Firmware Handoff specification`_.
1422   This defaults to ``0``. Current implementation follows the Firmware Handoff
1423   specification v0.9.
1424
1425-  ``USE_DEBUGFS``: When set to 1 this option exposes a virtual filesystem
1426   interface through BL31 as a SiP SMC function.
1427   Default is disabled (0).
1428
1429-  ``HOB_LIST``: Setting this to ``1`` enables support for passing boot
1430   information using HOB defined in `Platform Initialization specification`_.
1431   This defaults to ``0``.
1432
1433Firmware update options
1434~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1435
1436-  ``PSA_FWU_SUPPORT``: Enable the firmware update mechanism as per the
1437   `PSA FW update specification`_. The default value is 0.
1438   PSA firmware update implementation has few limitations, such as:
1439
1440   -  BL2 is not part of the protocol-updatable images. If BL2 needs to
1441      be updated, then it should be done through another platform-defined
1442      mechanism.
1443
1444   -  It assumes the platform's hardware supports CRC32 instructions.
1445
1446-  ``NR_OF_FW_BANKS``: Define the number of firmware banks. This flag is used
1447   in defining the firmware update metadata structure. This flag is by default
1448   set to '2'.
1449
1450-  ``NR_OF_IMAGES_IN_FW_BANK``: Define the number of firmware images in each
1451   firmware bank. Each firmware bank must have the same number of images as per
1452   the `PSA FW update specification`_.
1453   This flag is used in defining the firmware update metadata structure. This
1454   flag is by default set to '1'.
1455
1456- ``PSA_FWU_METADATA_FW_STORE_DESC``: To be enabled when the FWU
1457   metadata contains image description. The default value is 1.
1458
1459   The version 2 of the FWU metadata allows for an opaque metadata
1460   structure where a platform can choose to not include the firmware
1461   store description in the metadata structure. This option indicates
1462   if the firmware store description, which provides information on
1463   the updatable images is part of the structure.
