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. Reads from the 27 memory mapped view are unaffected by this control. 28 29- ``ARCH`` : Choose the target build architecture for TF-A. It can take either 30 ``aarch64`` or ``aarch32`` as values. By default, it is defined to 31 ``aarch64``. 32 33- ``ARM_ARCH_FEATURE``: Optional Arm Architecture build option which specifies 34 one or more feature modifiers. This option has the form ``[no]feature+...`` 35 and defaults to ``none``. It translates into compiler option 36 ``-march=armvX[.Y]-a+[no]feature+...``. See compiler's documentation for the 37 list of supported feature modifiers. 38 39- ``ARM_ARCH_MAJOR``: The major version of Arm Architecture to target when 40 compiling TF-A. Its value must be numeric, and defaults to 8 . See also, 41 *Armv8 Architecture Extensions* and *Armv7 Architecture Extensions* in 42 :ref:`Firmware Design`. 43 44- ``ARM_ARCH_MINOR``: The minor version of Arm Architecture to target when 45 compiling TF-A. Its value must be a numeric, and defaults to 0. See also, 46 *Armv8 Architecture Extensions* in :ref:`Firmware Design`. 47 48- ``BL2``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to BL2 49 image for the ``fip`` target. In this case, the BL2 in the TF-A will not be 50 built. 51 52- ``BL2U``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to 53 BL2U image. In this case, the BL2U in TF-A will not be built. 54 55- ``RESET_TO_BL2``: Boolean option to enable BL2 entrypoint as the CPU reset 56 vector instead of the BL1 entrypoint. It can take the value 0 (CPU reset to BL1 57 entrypoint) or 1 (CPU reset to BL2 entrypoint). 58 The default value is 0. 59 60- ``BL2_RUNS_AT_EL3``: This is an implicit flag to denote that BL2 runs at EL3. 61 While it is explicitly set to 1 when RESET_TO_BL2 is set to 1 it can also be 62 true in a 4-world system where RESET_TO_BL2 is 0. 63 64- ``BL2_ENABLE_SP_LOAD``: Boolean option to enable loading SP packages from the 65 FIP. Automatically enabled if ``SP_LAYOUT_FILE`` is provided. 66 67- ``BL2_IN_XIP_MEM``: In some use-cases BL2 will be stored in eXecute In Place 68 (XIP) memory, like BL1. In these use-cases, it is necessary to initialize 69 the RW sections in RAM, while leaving the RO sections in place. This option 70 enable this use-case. For now, this option is only supported 71 when RESET_TO_BL2 is set to '1'. 72 73- ``BL31``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to 74 BL31 image for the ``fip`` target. In this case, the BL31 in TF-A will not 75 be built. 76 77- ``BL31_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies the 78 file that contains the BL31 private key in PEM format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, 79 this file name will be used to save the key. 80 81- ``BL32``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to 82 BL32 image for the ``fip`` target. In this case, the BL32 in TF-A will not 83 be built. 84 85- ``BL32_EXTRA1``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to 86 Trusted OS Extra1 image for the ``fip`` target. 87 88- ``BL32_EXTRA2``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to 89 Trusted OS Extra2 image for the ``fip`` target. 90 91- ``BL32_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies the 92 file that contains the BL32 private key in PEM format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, 93 this file name will be used to save the key. 94 95- ``BL33``: Path to BL33 image in the host file system. This is mandatory for 96 ``fip`` target in case TF-A BL2 is used. 97 98- ``BL33_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies the 99 file that contains the BL33 private key in PEM format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, 100 this file name will be used to save the key. 101 102- ``BRANCH_PROTECTION``: Numeric value to enable ARMv8.3 Pointer Authentication 103 and ARMv8.5 Branch Target Identification support for TF-A BL images themselves. 104 If enabled, it is needed to use a compiler that supports the option 105 ``-mbranch-protection``. Selects the branch protection features to use: 106- 0: Default value turns off all types of branch protection 107- 1: Enables all types of branch protection features 108- 2: Return address signing to its standard level 109- 3: Extend the signing to include leaf functions 110- 4: Turn on branch target identification mechanism 111 112 The table below summarizes ``BRANCH_PROTECTION`` values, GCC compilation options 113 and resulting PAuth/BTI features. 114 115 +-------+--------------+-------+-----+ 116 | Value | GCC option | PAuth | BTI | 117 +=======+==============+=======+=====+ 118 | 0 | none | N | N | 119 +-------+--------------+-------+-----+ 120 | 1 | standard | Y | Y | 121 +-------+--------------+-------+-----+ 122 | 2 | pac-ret | Y | N | 123 +-------+--------------+-------+-----+ 124 | 3 | pac-ret+leaf | Y | N | 125 +-------+--------------+-------+-----+ 126 | 4 | bti | N | Y | 127 +-------+--------------+-------+-----+ 128 129 This option defaults to 0. 130 Note that Pointer Authentication is enabled for Non-secure world 131 irrespective of the value of this option if the CPU supports it. 132 133- ``BUILD_MESSAGE_TIMESTAMP``: String used to identify the time and date of the 134 compilation of each build. It must be set to a C string (including quotes 135 where applicable). Defaults to a string that contains the time and date of 136 the compilation. 137 138- ``BUILD_STRING``: Input string for VERSION_STRING, which allows the TF-A 139 build to be uniquely identified. Defaults to the current git commit id. 140 141- ``BUILD_BASE``: Output directory for the build. Defaults to ``./build`` 142 143- ``CFLAGS``: Extra user options appended on the compiler's command line in 144 addition to the options set by the build system. 145 146- ``COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU``: This option indicates whether the platform may 147 release several CPUs out of reset. It can take either 0 (several CPUs may be 148 brought up) or 1 (only one CPU will ever be brought up during cold reset). 149 Default is 0. If the platform always brings up a single CPU, there is no 150 need to distinguish between primary and secondary CPUs and the boot path can 151 be optimised. The ``plat_is_my_cpu_primary()`` and 152 ``plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup()`` platform porting interfaces do not need 153 to be implemented in this case. 154 155- ``COT``: When Trusted Boot is enabled, selects the desired chain of trust. 156 Defaults to ``tbbr``. 157 158- ``CRASH_REPORTING``: A non-zero value enables a console dump of processor 159 register state when an unexpected exception occurs during execution of 160 BL31. This option defaults to the value of ``DEBUG`` - i.e. by default 161 this is only enabled for a debug build of the firmware. 162 163- ``CREATE_KEYS``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It tells the 164 certificate generation tool to create new keys in case no valid keys are 165 present or specified. Allowed options are '0' or '1'. Default is '1'. 166 167- ``CTX_INCLUDE_AARCH32_REGS`` : Boolean option that, when set to 1, will cause 168 the AArch32 system registers to be included when saving and restoring the 169 CPU context. The option must be set to 0 for AArch64-only platforms (that 170 is on hardware that does not implement AArch32, or at least not at EL1 and 171 higher ELs). Default value is 1. 172 173- ``CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS``: Boolean option that, when set to 1, will cause the FP 174 registers to be included when saving and restoring the CPU context. Default 175 is 0. 176 177- ``CTX_INCLUDE_MTE_REGS``: Numeric value to include Memory Tagging Extension 178 registers in cpu context. This must be enabled, if the platform wants to use 179 this feature in the Secure world and MTE is enabled at ELX. This flag can 180 take values 0 to 2, to align with the ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` mechanism. 181 Default value is 0. 182 183- ``CTX_INCLUDE_NEVE_REGS``: Numeric value, when set will cause the Armv8.4-NV 184 registers to be saved/restored when entering/exiting an EL2 execution 185 context. This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with the 186 ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` mechanism. Default value is 0. 187 188- ``CTX_INCLUDE_PAUTH_REGS``: Numeric value to enable the Pointer 189 Authentication for Secure world. This will cause the ARMv8.3-PAuth registers 190 to be included when saving and restoring the CPU context as part of world 191 switch. This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` 192 mechanism. Default value is 0. 193 194 Note that Pointer Authentication is enabled for Non-secure world irrespective 195 of the value of this flag if the CPU supports it. 196 197- ``DEBUG``: Chooses between a debug and release build. It can take either 0 198 (release) or 1 (debug) as values. 0 is the default. 199 200- ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT``: This build flag enables the user to select the 201 authenticated decryption algorithm to be used to decrypt firmware/s during 202 boot. It accepts 2 values: ``aes_gcm`` and ``none``. The default value of 203 this flag is ``none`` to disable firmware decryption which is an optional 204 feature as per TBBR. 205 206- ``DISABLE_BIN_GENERATION``: Boolean option to disable the generation 207 of the binary image. If set to 1, then only the ELF image is built. 208 0 is the default. 209 210- ``DISABLE_MTPMU``: Boolean option to disable FEAT_MTPMU if implemented 211 (Armv8.6 onwards). Its default value is 0 to keep consistency with platforms 212 that do not implement FEAT_MTPMU. For more information on FEAT_MTPMU, 213 check the latest Arm ARM. 214 215- ``DYN_DISABLE_AUTH``: Provides the capability to dynamically disable Trusted 216 Board Boot authentication at runtime. This option is meant to be enabled only 217 for development platforms. ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` flag must be set if this 218 flag has to be enabled. 0 is the default. 219 220- ``E``: Boolean option to make warnings into errors. Default is 1. 221 222 When specifying higher warnings levels (``W=1`` and higher), this option 223 defaults to 0. This is done to encourage contributors to use them, as they 224 are expected to produce warnings that would otherwise fail the build. New 225 contributions are still expected to build with ``W=0`` and ``E=1`` (the 226 default). 227 228- ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE``: This option enables booting an EL3 payload instead of 229 the normal boot flow. It must specify the entry point address of the EL3 230 payload. Please refer to the "Booting an EL3 payload" section for more 231 details. 232 233- ``ENABLE_AMU_AUXILIARY_COUNTERS``: Enables support for AMU auxiliary counters 234 (also known as group 1 counters). These are implementation-defined counters, 235 and as such require additional platform configuration. Default is 0. 236 237- ``ENABLE_AMU_FCONF``: Enables configuration of the AMU through FCONF, which 238 allows platforms with auxiliary counters to describe them via the 239 ``HW_CONFIG`` device tree blob. Default is 0. 240 241- ``ENABLE_ASSERTIONS``: This option controls whether or not calls to ``assert()`` 242 are compiled out. For debug builds, this option defaults to 1, and calls to 243 ``assert()`` are left in place. For release builds, this option defaults to 0 244 and calls to ``assert()`` function are compiled out. This option can be set 245 independently of ``DEBUG``. It can also be used to hide any auxiliary code 246 that is only required for the assertion and does not fit in the assertion 247 itself. 248 249- ``ENABLE_BACKTRACE``: This option controls whether to enable backtrace 250 dumps or not. It is supported in both AArch64 and AArch32. However, in 251 AArch32 the format of the frame records are not defined in the AAPCS and they 252 are defined by the implementation. This implementation of backtrace only 253 supports the format used by GCC when T32 interworking is disabled. For this 254 reason enabling this option in AArch32 will force the compiler to only 255 generate A32 code. This option is enabled by default only in AArch64 debug 256 builds, but this behaviour can be overridden in each platform's Makefile or 257 in the build command line. 258 259- ``ENABLE_FEAT_AMU``: Numeric value to enable Activity Monitor Unit 260 extensions. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the 261 ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` mechanism. This is an optional architectural feature 262 available on v8.4 onwards. Some v8.2 implementations also implement an AMU 263 and this option can be used to enable this feature on those systems as well. 264 This flag can take the values 0 to 2, the default is 0. 265 266- ``ENABLE_FEAT_AMUv1p1``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_AMUv1p1`` 267 extension. ``FEAT_AMUv1p1`` is an optional feature available on Arm v8.6 268 onwards. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the 269 ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` mechanism. Default value is ``0``. 270 271- ``ENABLE_FEAT_CSV2_2``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_CSV2_2`` 272 extension. It allows access to the SCXTNUM_EL2 (Software Context Number) 273 register during EL2 context save/restore operations. ``FEAT_CSV2_2`` is an 274 optional feature available on Arm v8.0 onwards. This flag can take values 275 0 to 2, to align with the ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` mechanism. 276 Default value is ``0``. 277 278- ``ENABLE_FEAT_DIT``: Numeric value to enable ``FEAT_DIT`` (Data Independent 279 Timing) extension. It allows setting the ``DIT`` bit of PSTATE in EL3. 280 ``FEAT_DIT`` is a mandatory architectural feature and is enabled from v8.4 281 and upwards.

Default value is ``0``. 297 298- ``ENABLE_FEAT_HCX``: Numeric value to set the bit SCR_EL3.HXEn in EL3 to 299 allow access to HCRX_EL2 (extended hypervisor control register) from EL2 as 300 well as adding HCRX_EL2 to the EL2 context save/restore operations. Its a 301 mandatory architectural feature and is enabled from v8.7 and upwards. This 302 flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` 303 mechanism. Default value is ``0``. 304 305- ``ENABLE_FEAT_PAN``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_PAN`` (Privileged 306 Access Never) extension. ``FEAT_PAN`` adds a bit to PSTATE, generating a 307 permission fault for any privileged data access from EL1/EL2 to virtual 308 memory address, accessible at EL0, provided (HCR_EL2.E2H=1). It is a 309 mandatory architectural feature and is enabled from v8.1 and upwards. This 310 flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with the ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` 311 mechanism. Default value is ``0``. 312 313- ``ENABLE_FEAT_RNG``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_RNG`` extension. 314 ``FEAT_RNG`` is an optional feature available on Arm v8.5 onwards. This 315 flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` 316 mechanism. Default value is ``0``. 317 318- ``ENABLE_FEAT_RNG_TRAP``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_RNG_TRAP`` 319 extension. This feature is only supported in AArch64 state. This flag can 320 take values 0 to 2, to align with the ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` mechanism. 321 Default value is ``0``. ``FEAT_RNG_TRAP`` is an optional feature from 322 Armv8.5 onwards. 323 324- ``ENABLE_FEAT_SB``: Boolean option to let the TF-A code use the ``FEAT_SB`` 325 (Speculation Barrier) instruction ``FEAT_SB`` is an optional feature and 326 defaults to ``0`` for pre-Armv8.5 CPUs, but is mandatory for Armv8.5 or 327 later CPUs. It is enabled from v8.5 and upwards and if needed can be 328 overidden from platforms explicitly. 329 330- ``ENABLE_FEAT_SEL2``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_SEL2`` (Secure EL2) 331 extension. ``FEAT_SEL2`` is a mandatory feature available on Arm v8.4. 332 This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with the ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` 333 mechanism. Default is ``0``. 334 335- ``ENABLE_FEAT_TWED``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_TWED`` (Delayed 336 trapping of WFE Instruction) extension. ``FEAT_TWED`` is a optional feature 337 available on Arm v8.6. This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with the 338 ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` mechanism. Default is ``0``. 339 340 When ``ENABLE_FEAT_TWED`` is set to ``1``, WFE instruction trapping gets 341 delayed by the amount of value in ``TWED_DELAY``. 342 343- ``ENABLE_FEAT_VHE``: Numeric value to enable the ``FEAT_VHE`` (Virtualization 344 Host Extensions) extension. It allows access to CONTEXTIDR_EL2 register 345 during EL2 context save/restore operations.``FEAT_VHE`` is a mandatory 346 architectural feature and is enabled from v8.1 and upwards. It can take 347 values 0 to 2, to align with the ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` mechanism. 348 Default value is ``0``. 349 350- ``ENABLE_FEAT_TCR2``: Numeric value to set the bit SCR_EL3.ENTCR2 in EL3 to 351 allow access to TCR2_EL2 (extended translation control) from EL2 as 352 well as adding TCR2_EL2 to the EL2 context save/restore operations. Its a 353 mandatory architectural feature and is enabled from v8.9 and upwards. This 354 flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` 355 mechanism. Default value is ``0``. 356 357- ``ENABLE_LTO``: Boolean option to enable Link Time Optimization (LTO) 358 support in GCC for TF-A. This option is currently only supported for 359 AArch64. Default is 0. 360 361- ``ENABLE_MPAM_FOR_LOWER_ELS``: Numeric value to enable lower ELs to use MPAM 362 feature. MPAM is an optional Armv8.4 extension that enables various memory 363 system components and resources to define partitions; software running at 364 various ELs can assign themselves to desired partition to control their 365 performance aspects. 366 367 This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with the ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` 368 mechanism. When this option is set to ``1`` or ``2``, EL3 allows lower ELs to 369 access their own MPAM registers without trapping into EL3. This option 370 doesn't make use of partitioning in EL3, however. Platform initialisation 371 code should configure and use partitions in EL3 as required. This option 372 defaults to ``0``. 373 374- ``ENABLE_MPMM``: Boolean option to enable support for the Maximum Power 375 Mitigation Mechanism supported by certain Arm cores, which allows the SoC 376 firmware to detect and limit high activity events to assist in SoC processor 377 power domain dynamic power budgeting and limit the triggering of whole-rail 378 (i.e. clock chopping) responses to overcurrent conditions. Defaults to ``0``. 379 380- ``ENABLE_MPMM_FCONF``: Enables configuration of MPMM through FCONF, which 381 allows platforms with cores supporting MPMM to describe them via the 382 ``HW_CONFIG`` device tree blob. Default is 0. 383 384- ``ENABLE_PIE``: Boolean option to enable Position Independent Executable(PIE) 385 support within generic code in TF-A. This option is currently only supported 386 in BL2, BL31, and BL32 (TSP) for AARCH64 binaries, and 387 in BL32 (SP_min) for AARCH32. Default is 0. 388 389- ``ENABLE_PMF``: Boolean option to enable support for optional Performance 390 Measurement Framework(PMF). Default is 0. 391 392- ``ENABLE_PSCI_STAT``: Boolean option to enable support for optional PSCI 393 functions ``PSCI_STAT_RESIDENCY`` and ``PSCI_STAT_COUNT``. Default is 0. 394 In the absence of an alternate stat collection backend, ``ENABLE_PMF`` must 395 be enabled. If ``ENABLE_PMF`` is set, the residency statistics are tracked in 396 software. 397 398- ``ENABLE_RME``: Numeric value to enable support for the ARMv9 Realm 399 Management Extension. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with 400 the ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` mechanism. Default value is 0. This is currently 401 an experimental feature. 402 403- ``ENABLE_RUNTIME_INSTRUMENTATION``: Boolean option to enable runtime 404 instrumentation which injects timestamp collection points into TF-A to 405 allow runtime performance to be measured. Currently, only PSCI is 406 instrumented. Enabling this option enables the ``ENABLE_PMF`` build option 407 as well. Default is 0. 408 409- ``ENABLE_SME_FOR_NS``: Boolean option to enable Scalable Matrix Extension 410 (SME), SVE, and FPU/SIMD for the non-secure world only. These features share 411 registers so are enabled together. Using this option without 412 ENABLE_SME_FOR_SWD=1 will cause SME, SVE, and FPU/SIMD instructions in secure 413 world to trap to EL3. SME is an optional architectural feature for AArch64 414 and TF-A support is experimental. At this time, this build option cannot be 415 used on systems that have SPD=spmd/SPM_MM or ENABLE_RME, and attempting to 416 build with these options will fail. Default is 0. 417 418- ``ENABLE_SME_FOR_SWD``: Boolean option to enable the Scalable Matrix 419 Extension for secure world use along with SVE and FPU/SIMD, ENABLE_SME_FOR_NS 420 must also be set to use this. If enabling this, the secure world MUST 421 handle context switching for SME, SVE, and FPU/SIMD registers to ensure that 422 no data is leaked to non-secure world. This is experimental. Default is 0. 423 424- ``ENABLE_SPE_FOR_NS`` : Numeric value to enable Statistical Profiling 425 extensions. This is an optional architectural feature for AArch64. 426 This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` 427 mechanism. The default is 2 but is automatically disabled when the target 428 architecture is AArch32. 429 430- ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS``: Boolean option to enable Scalable Vector Extension 431 (SVE) for the Non-secure world only. SVE is an optional architectural feature 432 for AArch64. Note that when SVE is enabled for the Non-secure world, access 433 to SIMD and floating-point functionality from the Secure world is disabled by 434 default and controlled with ENABLE_SVE_FOR_SWD. 435 This is to avoid corruption of the Non-secure world data in the Z-registers 436 which are aliased by the SIMD and FP registers. The build option is not 437 compatible with the ``CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS`` build option, and will raise an 438 assert on platforms where SVE is implemented and ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS`` set to 439 1. The default is 1 but is automatically disabled when ENABLE_SME_FOR_NS=1 440 since SME encompasses SVE. At this time, this build option cannot be used on 441 systems that have SPM_MM enabled. 442 443- ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_SWD``: Boolean option to enable SVE for the Secure world. 444 SVE is an optional architectural feature for AArch64. Note that this option 445 requires ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS to be enabled. The default is 0 and it 446 is automatically disabled when the target architecture is AArch32. 447 448- ``ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR``: String option to enable the stack protection 449 checks in GCC. Allowed values are "all", "strong", "default" and "none". The 450 default value is set to "none". "strong" is the recommended stack protection 451 level if this feature is desired. "none" disables the stack protection. For 452 all values other than "none", the ``plat_get_stack_protector_canary()`` 453 platform hook needs to be implemented. The value is passed as the last 454 component of the option ``-fstack-protector-$ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR``. 455 456- ``ENCRYPT_BL31``: Binary flag to enable encryption of BL31 firmware. This 457 flag depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag. 458 459- ``ENCRYPT_BL32``: Binary flag to enable encryption of Secure BL32 payload. 460 This flag depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag. 461 462- ``ENC_KEY``: A 32-byte (256-bit) symmetric key in hex string format. It could 463 either be SSK or BSSK depending on ``FW_ENC_STATUS`` flag. This value depends 464 on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag. 465 466- ``ENC_NONCE``: A 12-byte (96-bit) encryption nonce or Initialization Vector 467 (IV) in hex string format. This value depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` 468 build flag. 469 470- ``ERROR_DEPRECATED``: This option decides whether to treat the usage of 471 deprecated platform APIs, helper functions or drivers within Trusted 472 Firmware as error. It can take the value 1 (flag the use of deprecated 473 APIs as error) or 0. The default is 0. 474 475- ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING``: When set to ``1``, enable handling of exceptions 476 targeted at EL3. When set ``0`` (default), no exceptions are expected or 477 handled at EL3, and a panic will result. The exception to this rule is when 478 ``SPMD_SPM_AT_SEL2`` is set to ``1``, in which case, only exceptions 479 occuring during normal world execution, are trapped to EL3. Any exception 480 trapped during secure world execution are trapped to the SPMC. This is 481 supported only for AArch64 builds. 482 483- ``EVENT_LOG_LEVEL``: Chooses the log level to use for Measured Boot when 484 ``MEASURED_BOOT`` is enabled. For a list of valid values, see ``LOG_LEVEL``. 485 Default value is 40 (LOG_LEVEL_INFO). 486 487- ``FAULT_INJECTION_SUPPORT``: ARMv8.4 extensions introduced support for fault 488 injection from lower ELs, and this build option enables lower ELs to use 489 Error Records accessed via System Registers to inject faults. This is 490 applicable only to AArch64 builds. 491 492 This feature is intended for testing purposes only, and is advisable to keep 493 disabled for production images. 494 495- ``FEATURE_DETECTION``: Boolean option to enable the architectural features 496 detection mechanism. It detects whether the Architectural features enabled 497 through feature specific build flags are supported by the PE or not by 498 validating them either at boot phase or at runtime based on the value 499 possessed by the feature flag (0 to 2) and report error messages at an early 500 stage. 501 502 This prevents and benefits us from EL3 runtime exceptions during context save 503 and restore routines guarded by these build flags. Henceforth validating them 504 before their usage provides more control on the actions taken under them. 505 506 The mechanism permits the build flags to take values 0, 1 or 2 and 507 evaluates them accordingly. 508 509 Lets consider ``ENABLE_FEAT_HCX``, build flag for ``FEAT_HCX`` as an example: 510 511 :: 512 513 ENABLE_FEAT_HCX = 0: Feature disabled statically at compile time. 514 ENABLE_FEAT_HCX = 1: Feature Enabled and the flag is validated at boottime. 515 ENABLE_FEAT_HCX = 2: Feature Enabled and the flag is validated at runtime. 516 517 In the above example, if the feature build flag, ``ENABLE_FEAT_HCX`` set to 518 0, feature is disabled statically during compilation. If it is defined as 1, 519 feature is validated, wherein FEAT_HCX is detected at boot time. In case not 520 implemented by the PE, a hard panic is generated. Finally, if the flag is set 521 to 2, feature is validated at runtime. 522 523 Note that the entire implementation is divided into two phases, wherein as 524 as part of phase-1 we are supporting the values 0,1. Value 2 is currently not 525 supported and is planned to be handled explicilty in phase-2 implementation. 526 527 FEATURE_DETECTION macro is disabled by default, and is currently an 528 experimental procedure. Platforms can explicitly make use of this by 529 mechanism, by enabling it to validate whether they have set their build flags 530 properly at an early phase. 531 532- ``FIP_NAME``: This is an optional build option which specifies the FIP 533 filename for the ``fip`` target. Default is ``fip.bin``. 534 535- ``FWU_FIP_NAME``: This is an optional build option which specifies the FWU 536 FIP filename for the ``fwu_fip`` target. Default is ``fwu_fip.bin``. 537 538- ``FW_ENC_STATUS``: Top level firmware's encryption numeric flag, values: 539 540 :: 541 542 0: Encryption is done with Secret Symmetric Key (SSK) which is common 543 for a class of devices. 544 1: Encryption is done with Binding Secret Symmetric Key (BSSK) which is 545 unique per device. 546 547 This flag depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag. 548 549- ``GENERATE_COT``: Boolean flag used to build and execute the ``cert_create`` 550 tool to create certificates as per the Chain of Trust described in 551 :ref:`Trusted Board Boot`. The build system then calls ``fiptool`` to 552 include the certificates in the FIP and FWU_FIP. Default value is '0'. 553 554 Specify both ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1`` and ``GENERATE_COT=1`` to include support 555 for the Trusted Board Boot feature in the BL1 and BL2 images, to generate 556 the corresponding certificates, and to include those certificates in the 557 FIP and FWU_FIP. 558 559 Note that if ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=0`` and ``GENERATE_COT=1``, the BL1 and BL2 560 images will not include support for Trusted Board Boot. The FIP will still 561 include the corresponding certificates. This FIP can be used to verify the 562 Chain of Trust on the host machine through other mechanisms. 563 564 Note that if ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1`` and ``GENERATE_COT=0``, the BL1 and BL2 565 images will include support for Trusted Board Boot, but the FIP and FWU_FIP 566 will not include the corresponding certificates, causing a boot failure. 567 568- ``GICV2_G0_FOR_EL3``: Unlike GICv3, the GICv2 architecture doesn't have 569 inherent support for specific EL3 type interrupts. Setting this build option 570 to ``1`` assumes GICv2 *Group 0* interrupts are expected to target EL3, both 571 by :ref:`platform abstraction layer<platform Interrupt Controller API>` and 572 :ref:`Interrupt Management Framework<Interrupt Management Framework>`. 573 This allows GICv2 platforms to enable features requiring EL3 interrupt type. 574 This also means that all GICv2 Group 0 interrupts are delivered to EL3, and 575 the Secure Payload interrupts needs to be synchronously handed over to Secure 576 EL1 for handling. The default value of this option is ``0``, which means the 577 Group 0 interrupts are assumed to be handled by Secure EL1. 578 579- ``HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST_NS``: When set to ``1``, External Aborts and SError 580 Interrupts, resulting from errors in NS world, will be always trapped in 581 EL3 i.e. in BL31 at runtime. When set to ``0`` (default), these exceptions 582 will be trapped in the current exception level (or in EL1 if the current 583 exception level is EL0). 584 585- ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY``: On most Arm systems to-date, platform-specific 586 software operations are required for CPUs to enter and exit coherency. 587 However, newer systems exist where CPUs' entry to and exit from coherency 588 is managed in hardware. Such systems require software to only initiate these 589 operations, and the rest is managed in hardware, minimizing active software 590 management. In such systems, this boolean option enables TF-A to carry out 591 build and run-time optimizations during boot and power management operations. 592 This option defaults to 0 and if it is enabled, then it implies 593 ``WARMBOOT_ENABLE_DCACHE_EARLY`` is also enabled. 594 595 If this flag is disabled while the platform which TF-A is compiled for 596 includes cores that manage coherency in hardware, then a compilation error is 597 generated. This is based on the fact that a system cannot have, at the same 598 time, cores that manage coherency in hardware and cores that don't. In other 599 words, a platform cannot have, at the same time, cores that require 600 ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY=1`` and cores that require 601 ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY=0``. 602 603 Note that, when ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY`` is enabled, version 2 of 604 translation library (xlat tables v2) must be used; version 1 of translation 605 library is not supported. 606 607- ``INVERTED_MEMMAP``: memmap tool print by default lower addresses at the 608 bottom, higher addresses at the top. This build flag can be set to '1' to 609 invert this behavior. Lower addresses will be printed at the top and higher 610 addresses at the bottom. 611 612- ``JUNO_AARCH32_EL3_RUNTIME``: This build flag enables you to execute EL3 613 runtime software in AArch32 mode, which is required to run AArch32 on Juno. 614 By default this flag is set to '0'. Enabling this flag builds BL1 and BL2 in 615 AArch64 and facilitates the loading of ``SP_MIN`` and BL33 as AArch32 executable 616 images. 617 618- ``KEY_ALG``: This build flag enables the user to select the algorithm to be 619 used for generating the PKCS keys and subsequent signing of the certificate. 620 It accepts 5 values: ``rsa``, ``rsa_1_5``, ``ecdsa``, ``ecdsa-brainpool-regular`` 621 and ``ecdsa-brainpool-twisted``. The option ``rsa_1_5`` is the legacy PKCS#1 622 RSA 1.5 algorithm which is not TBBR compliant and is retained only for 623 compatibility. The default value of this flag is ``rsa`` which is the TBBR 624 compliant PKCS#1 RSA 2.1 scheme. 625 626- ``KEY_SIZE``: This build flag enables the user to select the key size for 627 the algorithm specified by ``KEY_ALG``. The valid values for ``KEY_SIZE`` 628 depend on the chosen algorithm and the cryptographic module. 629 630 +---------------------------+------------------------------------+ 631 | KEY_ALG | Possible key sizes | 632 +===========================+====================================+ 633 | rsa | 1024 , 2048 (default), 3072, 4096* | 634 +---------------------------+------------------------------------+ 635 | ecdsa | unavailable | 636 +---------------------------+------------------------------------+ 637 | ecdsa-brainpool-regular | unavailable | 638 +---------------------------+------------------------------------+ 639 | ecdsa-brainpool-twisted | unavailable | 640 +---------------------------+------------------------------------+ 641 642 643 * Only 2048 bits size is available with CryptoCell 712 SBROM release 1. 644 Only 3072 bits size is available with CryptoCell 712 SBROM release 2. 645 646- ``HASH_ALG``: This build flag enables the user to select the secure hash 647 algorithm. It accepts 3 values: ``sha256``, ``sha384`` and ``sha512``. 648 The default value of this flag is ``sha256``. 649 650- ``LDFLAGS``: Extra user options appended to the linkers' command line in 651 addition to the one set by the build system. 652 653- ``LOG_LEVEL``: Chooses the log level, which controls the amount of console log 654 output compiled into the build. This should be one of the following: 655 656 :: 657 658 0 (LOG_LEVEL_NONE) 659 10 (LOG_LEVEL_ERROR) 660 20 (LOG_LEVEL_NOTICE) 661 30 (LOG_LEVEL_WARNING) 662 40 (LOG_LEVEL_INFO) 663 50 (LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE) 664 665 All log output up to and including the selected log level is compiled into 666 the build. The default value is 40 in debug builds and 20 in release builds. 667 668- ``MEASURED_BOOT``: Boolean flag to include support for the Measured Boot 669 feature. This flag can be enabled with ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` in order to 670 provide trust that the code taking the measurements and recording them has 671 not been tampered with. 672 673 This option defaults to 0. 674 675- ``DRTM_SUPPORT``: Boolean flag to enable support for Dynamic Root of Trust 676 for Measurement (DRTM). This feature has trust dependency on BL31 for taking 677 the measurements and recording them as per `PSA DRTM specification`_. For 678 platforms which use BL2 to load/authenticate BL31 ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` can 679 be used and for the platforms which use ``RESET_TO_BL31`` platform owners 680 should have mechanism to authenticate BL31. This is an experimental feature. 681 682 This option defaults to 0. 683 684- ``NON_TRUSTED_WORLD_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It 685 specifies the file that contains the Non-Trusted World private key in PEM 686 format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, this file name will be used to save the key. 687 688- ``NS_BL2U``: Path to NS_BL2U image in the host file system. This image is 689 optional. It is only needed if the platform makefile specifies that it 690 is required in order to build the ``fwu_fip`` target. 691 692- ``NS_TIMER_SWITCH``: Enable save and restore for non-secure timer register 693 contents upon world switch. It can take either 0 (don't save and restore) or 694 1 (do save and restore). 0 is the default. An SPD may set this to 1 if it 695 wants the timer registers to be saved and restored. 696 697- ``OVERRIDE_LIBC``: This option allows platforms to override the default libc 698 for the BL image. It can be either 0 (include) or 1 (remove). The default 699 value is 0. 700 701- ``PL011_GENERIC_UART``: Boolean option to indicate the PL011 driver that 702 the underlying hardware is not a full PL011 UART but a minimally compliant 703 generic UART, which is a subset of the PL011. The driver will not access 704 any register that is not part of the SBSA generic UART specification. 705 Default value is 0 (a full PL011 compliant UART is present). 706 707- ``PLAT``: Choose a platform to build TF-A for. The chosen platform name 708 must be subdirectory of any depth under ``plat/``, and must contain a 709 platform makefile named ``platform.mk``. For example, to build TF-A for the 710 Arm Juno board, select PLAT=juno. 711 712- ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE``: This option enables booting a preloaded BL33 image 713 instead of the normal boot flow. When defined, it must specify the entry 714 point address for the preloaded BL33 image. This option is incompatible with 715 ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE``. If both are defined, ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE`` has priority 716 over ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE``. 717 718- ``PROGRAMMABLE_RESET_ADDRESS``: This option indicates whether the reset 719 vector address can be programmed or is fixed on the platform. It can take 720 either 0 (fixed) or 1 (programmable). Default is 0. If the platform has a 721 programmable reset address, it is expected that a CPU will start executing 722 code directly at the right address, both on a cold and warm reset. In this 723 case, there is no need to identify the entrypoint on boot and the boot path 724 can be optimised. The ``plat_get_my_entrypoint()`` platform porting interface 725 does not need to be implemented in this case. 726 727- ``PSCI_EXTENDED_STATE_ID``: As per PSCI1.0 Specification, there are 2 formats 728 possible for the PSCI power-state parameter: original and extended State-ID 729 formats. This flag if set to 1, configures the generic PSCI layer to use the 730 extended format. The default value of this flag is 0, which means by default 731 the original power-state format is used by the PSCI implementation. This flag 732 should be specified by the platform makefile and it governs the return value 733 of PSCI_FEATURES API for CPU_SUSPEND smc function id. When this option is 734 enabled on Arm platforms, the option ``ARM_RECOM_STATE_ID_ENC`` needs to be 735 set to 1 as well. 736 737- ``PSCI_OS_INIT_MODE``: Boolean flag to enable support for optional PSCI 738 OS-initiated mode. This option defaults to 0. 739 740- ``RAS_EXTENSION``: Numeric value to enable Armv8.2 RAS features. RAS features 741 are an optional extension for pre-Armv8.2 CPUs, but are mandatory for Armv8.2 742 or later CPUs. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the 743 ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` mechanism. 744 745 When ``RAS_EXTENSION`` is set to ``1``, ``HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST_NS`` must also be 746 set to ``1``. 747 748 This option is disabled by default. 749 750- ``RESET_TO_BL31``: Enable BL31 entrypoint as the CPU reset vector instead 751 of the BL1 entrypoint. It can take the value 0 (CPU reset to BL1 752 entrypoint) or 1 (CPU reset to BL31 entrypoint). 753 The default value is 0. 754 755- ``RESET_TO_BL31_WITH_PARAMS``: If ``RESET_TO_BL31`` has been enabled, setting 756 this additional option guarantees that the input registers are not cleared 757 therefore allowing parameters to be passed to the BL31 entrypoint. 758 The default value is 0. 759 760- ``RESET_TO_SP_MIN``: SP_MIN is the minimal AArch32 Secure Payload provided 761 in TF-A. This flag configures SP_MIN entrypoint as the CPU reset vector 762 instead of the BL1 entrypoint. It can take the value 0 (CPU reset to BL1 763 entrypoint) or 1 (CPU reset to SP_MIN entrypoint). The default value is 0. 764 765- ``ROT_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies the 766 file that contains the ROT private key in PEM format and enforces public key 767 hash generation. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, this 768 file name will be used to save the key. 769 770- ``SAVE_KEYS``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It tells the 771 certificate generation tool to save the keys used to establish the Chain of 772 Trust. Allowed options are '0' or '1'. Default is '0' (do not save). 773 774- ``SCP_BL2``: Path to SCP_BL2 image in the host file system. This image is optional. 775 If a SCP_BL2 image is present then this option must be passed for the ``fip`` 776 target. 777 778- ``SCP_BL2_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies the 779 file that contains the SCP_BL2 private key in PEM format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, 780 this file name will be used to save the key. 781 782- ``SCP_BL2U``: Path to SCP_BL2U image in the host file system. This image is 783 optional. It is only needed if the platform makefile specifies that it 784 is required in order to build the ``fwu_fip`` target. 785 786- ``SDEI_SUPPORT``: Setting this to ``1`` enables support for Software 787 Delegated Exception Interface to BL31 image. This defaults to ``0``. 788 789 When set to ``1``, the build option ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING`` must also be 790 set to ``1``. 791 792- ``SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA``: Whether code and read-only data should be 793 isolated on separate memory pages. This is a trade-off between security and 794 memory usage. See "Isolating code and read-only data on separate memory 795 pages" section in :ref:`Firmware Design`. This flag is disabled by default 796 and affects all BL images. 797 798- ``SEPARATE_NOBITS_REGION``: Setting this option to ``1`` allows the NOBITS 799 sections of BL31 (.bss, stacks, page tables, and coherent memory) to be 800 allocated in RAM discontiguous from the loaded firmware image. When set, the 801 platform is expected to provide definitions for ``BL31_NOBITS_BASE`` and 802 ``BL31_NOBITS_LIMIT``. When the option is ``0`` (the default), NOBITS 803 sections are placed in RAM immediately following the loaded firmware image. 804 805- ``SEPARATE_BL2_NOLOAD_REGION``: Setting this option to ``1`` allows the 806 NOLOAD sections of BL2 (.bss, stacks, page tables) to be allocated in RAM 807 discontiguous from loaded firmware images. When set, the platform need to 808 provide definitions of ``BL2_NOLOAD_START`` and ``BL2_NOLOAD_LIMIT``. This 809 flag is disabled by default and NOLOAD sections are placed in RAM immediately 810 following the loaded firmware image. 811 812- ``SMC_PCI_SUPPORT``: This option allows platforms to handle PCI configuration 813 access requests via a standard SMCCC defined in `DEN0115`_. When combined with 814 UEFI+ACPI this can provide a certain amount of OS forward compatibility 815 with newer platforms that aren't ECAM compliant. 816 817- ``SPD``: Choose a Secure Payload Dispatcher component to be built into TF-A. 818 This build option is only valid if ``ARCH=aarch64``. The value should be 819 the path to the directory containing the SPD source, relative to 820 ``services/spd/``; the directory is expected to contain a makefile called 821 ``<spd-value>.mk``. The SPM Dispatcher standard service is located in 822 services/std_svc/spmd and enabled by ``SPD=spmd``. The SPM Dispatcher 823 cannot be enabled when the ``SPM_MM`` option is enabled. 824 825- ``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT``: This option introduces an infinite loop in BL1. It can 826 take either 0 (no loop) or 1 (add a loop). 0 is the default. This loop stops 827 execution in BL1 just before handing over to BL31. At this point, all 828 firmware images have been loaded in memory, and the MMU and caches are 829 turned off. Refer to the "Debugging options" section for more details. 830 831- ``SPMC_AT_EL3`` : This boolean option is used jointly with the SPM 832 Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``). When enabled (1) it indicates the SPMC 833 component runs at the EL3 exception level. The default value is ``0`` ( 834 disabled). This configuration supports pre-Armv8.4 platforms (aka not 835 implementing the ``FEAT_SEL2`` extension). This is an experimental feature. 836 837- ``SPMC_OPTEE`` : This boolean option is used jointly with the SPM 838 Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``) and with ``SPMD_SPM_AT_SEL2=0`` to 839 indicate that the SPMC at S-EL1 is OP-TEE and an OP-TEE specific loading 840 mechanism should be used. 841 842- ``SPMD_SPM_AT_SEL2`` : This boolean option is used jointly with the SPM 843 Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``). When enabled (1) it indicates the SPMC 844 component runs at the S-EL2 exception level provided by the ``FEAT_SEL2`` 845 extension. This is the default when enabling the SPM Dispatcher. When 846 disabled (0) it indicates the SPMC component runs at the S-EL1 execution 847 state or at EL3 if ``SPMC_AT_EL3`` is enabled. The latter configurations 848 support pre-Armv8.4 platforms (aka not implementing the ``FEAT_SEL2`` 849 extension). 850 851- ``SPM_MM`` : Boolean option to enable the Management Mode (MM)-based Secure 852 Partition Manager (SPM) implementation. The default value is ``0`` 853 (disabled). This option cannot be enabled (``1``) when SPM Dispatcher is 854 enabled (``SPD=spmd``). 855 856- ``SP_LAYOUT_FILE``: Platform provided path to JSON file containing the 857 description of secure partitions. The build system will parse this file and 858 package all secure partition blobs into the FIP. This file is not 859 necessarily part of TF-A tree. Only available when ``SPD=spmd``. 860 861- ``SP_MIN_WITH_SECURE_FIQ``: Boolean flag to indicate the SP_MIN handles 862 secure interrupts (caught through the FIQ line). Platforms can enable 863 this directive if they need to handle such interruption. When enabled, 864 the FIQ are handled in monitor mode and non secure world is not allowed 865 to mask these events. Platforms that enable FIQ handling in SP_MIN shall 866 implement the api ``sp_min_plat_fiq_handler()``. The default value is 0. 867 868- ``SVE_VECTOR_LEN``: SVE vector length to configure in ZCR_EL3. 869 Platforms can configure this if they need to lower the hardware 870 limit, for example due to asymmetric configuration or limitations of 871 software run at lower ELs. The default is the architectural maximum 872 of 2048 which should be suitable for most configurations, the 873 hardware will limit the effective VL to the maximum physically supported 874 VL. 875 876- ``TRNG_SUPPORT``: Setting this to ``1`` enables support for True 877 Random Number Generator Interface to BL31 image. This defaults to ``0``. 878 879- ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT``: Boolean flag to include support for the Trusted Board 880 Boot feature. When set to '1', BL1 and BL2 images include support to load 881 and verify the certificates and images in a FIP, and BL1 includes support 882 for the Firmware Update. The default value is '0'. Generation and inclusion 883 of certificates in the FIP and FWU_FIP depends upon the value of the 884 ``GENERATE_COT`` option. 885 886 .. warning:: 887 This option depends on ``CREATE_KEYS`` to be enabled. If the keys 888 already exist in disk, they will be overwritten without further notice. 889 890- ``TRUSTED_WORLD_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It 891 specifies the file that contains the Trusted World private key in PEM 892 format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, this file name will be used to save the key. 893 894- ``TSP_INIT_ASYNC``: Choose BL32 initialization method as asynchronous or 895 synchronous, (see "Initializing a BL32 Image" section in 896 :ref:`Firmware Design`). It can take the value 0 (BL32 is initialized using 897 synchronous method) or 1 (BL32 is initialized using asynchronous method). 898 Default is 0. 899 900- ``TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT``: A non zero value enables the interrupt 901 routing model which routes non-secure interrupts asynchronously from TSP 902 to EL3 causing immediate preemption of TSP. The EL3 is responsible 903 for saving and restoring the TSP context in this routing model. The 904 default routing model (when the value is 0) is to route non-secure 905 interrupts to TSP allowing it to save its context and hand over 906 synchronously to EL3 via an SMC. 907 908 .. note:: 909 When ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING`` is ``1``, ``TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT`` 910 must also be set to ``1``. 911 912- ``TWED_DELAY``: Numeric value to be set in order to delay the trapping of 913 WFE instruction. ``ENABLE_FEAT_TWED`` build option must be enabled to set 914 this delay. It can take values in the range (0-15). Default value is ``0`` 915 and based on this value, 2^(TWED_DELAY + 8) cycles will be delayed. 916 Platforms need to explicitly update this value based on their requirements. 917 918- ``USE_ARM_LINK``: This flag determines whether to enable support for ARM 919 linker. When the ``LINKER`` build variable points to the armlink linker, 920 this flag is enabled automatically. To enable support for armlink, platforms 921 will have to provide a scatter file for the BL image. Currently, Tegra 922 platforms use the armlink support to compile BL3-1 images. 923 924- ``USE_COHERENT_MEM``: This flag determines whether to include the coherent 925 memory region in the BL memory map or not (see "Use of Coherent memory in 926 TF-A" section in :ref:`Firmware Design`). It can take the value 1 927 (Coherent memory region is included) or 0 (Coherent memory region is 928 excluded). Default is 1. 929 930- ``USE_DEBUGFS``: When set to 1 this option activates an EXPERIMENTAL feature 931 exposing a virtual filesystem interface through BL31 as a SiP SMC function. 932 Default is 0. 933 934- ``ARM_IO_IN_DTB``: This flag determines whether to use IO based on the 935 firmware configuration framework. This will move the io_policies into a 936 configuration device tree, instead of static structure in the code base. 937 938- ``COT_DESC_IN_DTB``: This flag determines whether to create COT descriptors 939 at runtime using fconf. If this flag is enabled, COT descriptors are 940 statically captured in tb_fw_config file in the form of device tree nodes 941 and properties. Currently, COT descriptors used by BL2 are moved to the 942 device tree and COT descriptors used by BL1 are retained in the code 943 base statically. 944 945- ``SDEI_IN_FCONF``: This flag determines whether to configure SDEI setup in 946 runtime using firmware configuration framework. The platform specific SDEI 947 shared and private events configuration is retrieved from device tree rather 948 than static C structures at compile time. This is only supported if 949 SDEI_SUPPORT build flag is enabled. 950 951- ``SEC_INT_DESC_IN_FCONF``: This flag determines whether to configure Group 0 952 and Group1 secure interrupts using the firmware configuration framework. The 953 platform specific secure interrupt property descriptor is retrieved from 954 device tree in runtime rather than depending on static C structure at compile 955 time. 956 957- ``USE_ROMLIB``: This flag determines whether library at ROM will be used. 958 This feature creates a library of functions to be placed in ROM and thus 959 reduces SRAM usage. Refer to :ref:`Library at ROM` for further details. Default 960 is 0. 961 962- ``V``: Verbose build. If assigned anything other than 0, the build commands 963 are printed. Default is 0. 964 965- ``VERSION_STRING``: String used in the log output for each TF-A image. 966 Defaults to a string formed by concatenating the version number, build type 967 and build string. 968 969- ``W``: Warning level. Some compiler warning options of interest have been 970 regrouped and put in the root Makefile. This flag can take the values 0 to 3, 971 each level enabling more warning options. Default is 0. 972 973 This option is closely related to the ``E`` option, which enables 974 ``-Werror``. 975 976 - ``W=0`` (default) 977 978 Enables a wide assortment of warnings, most notably ``-Wall`` and 979 ``-Wextra``, as well as various bad practices and things that are likely to 980 result in errors. Includes some compiler specific flags. No warnings are 981 expected at this level for any build. 982 983 - ``W=1`` 984 985 Enables warnings we want the generic build to include but are too time 986 consuming to fix at the moment. It re-enables warnings taken out for 987 ``W=0`` builds (a few of the ``-Wextra`` additions). This level is expected 988 to eventually be merged into ``W=0``. Some warnings are expected on some 989 builds, but new contributions should not introduce new ones. 990 991 - ``W=2`` (recommended) 992 993 Enables warnings we want the generic build to include but cannot be enabled 994 due to external libraries. This level is expected to eventually be merged 995 into ``W=0``. Lots of warnings are expected, primarily from external 996 libraries like zlib and compiler-rt, but new controbutions should not 997 introduce new ones. 998 999 - ``W=3`` 1000 1001 Enables warnings that are informative but not necessary and generally too 1002 verbose and frequently ignored. A very large number of warnings are 1003 expected. 1004 1005 The exact set of warning flags depends on the compiler and TF-A warning 1006 level, however they are all succinctly set in the top-level Makefile. Please 1007 refer to the `GCC`_ or `Clang`_ documentation for more information on the 1008 individual flags. 1009 1010- ``WARMBOOT_ENABLE_DCACHE_EARLY`` : Boolean option to enable D-cache early on 1011 the CPU after warm boot. This is applicable for platforms which do not 1012 require interconnect programming to enable cache coherency (eg: single 1013 cluster platforms). If this option is enabled, then warm boot path 1014 enables D-caches immediately after enabling MMU. This option defaults to 0. 1015 1016- ``SUPPORT_STACK_MEMTAG``: This flag determines whether to enable memory 1017 tagging for stack or not. It accepts 2 values: ``yes`` and ``no``. The 1018 default value of this flag is ``no``. Note this option must be enabled only 1019 for ARM architecture greater than Armv8.5-A. 1020 1021- ``ERRATA_SPECULATIVE_AT``: This flag determines whether to enable ``AT`` 1022 speculative errata workaround or not. It accepts 2 values: ``1`` and ``0``. 1023 The default value of this flag is ``0``. 1024 1025 ``AT`` speculative errata workaround disables stage1 page table walk for 1026 lower ELs (EL1 and EL0) in EL3 so that ``AT`` speculative fetch at any point 1027 produces either the correct result or failure without TLB allocation. 1028 1029 This boolean option enables errata for all below CPUs. 1030 1031 +---------+--------------+-------------------------+ 1032 | Errata | CPU | Workaround Define | 1033 +=========+==============+=========================+ 1034 | 1165522 | Cortex-A76 | ``ERRATA_A76_1165522`` | 1035 +---------+--------------+-------------------------+ 1036 | 1319367 | Cortex-A72 | ``ERRATA_A72_1319367`` | 1037 +---------+--------------+-------------------------+ 1038 | 1319537 | Cortex-A57 | ``ERRATA_A57_1319537`` | 1039 +---------+--------------+-------------------------+ 1040 | 1530923 | Cortex-A55 | ``ERRATA_A55_1530923`` | 1041 +---------+--------------+-------------------------+ 1042 | 1530924 | Cortex-A53 | ``ERRATA_A53_1530924`` | 1043 +---------+--------------+-------------------------+ 1044 1045 .. note:: 1046 This option is enabled by build only if platform sets any of above defines 1047 mentioned in ’Workaround Define' column in the table. 1048 If this option is enabled for the EL3 software then EL2 software also must 1049 implement this workaround due to the behaviour of the errata mentioned 1050 in new SDEN document which will get published soon. 1051 1052- ``RAS_TRAP_NS_ERR_REC_ACCESS``: This flag enables/disables the SCR_EL3.TERR 1053 bit, to trap access to the RAS ERR and RAS ERX registers from lower ELs. 1054 This flag is disabled by default. 1055 1056- ``OPENSSL_DIR``: This option is used to provide the path to a directory on the 1057 host machine where a custom installation of OpenSSL is located, which is used 1058 to build the certificate generation, firmware encryption and FIP tools. If 1059 this option is not set, the default OS installation will be used. 1060 1061- ``USE_SP804_TIMER``: Use the SP804 timer instead of the Generic Timer for 1062 functions that wait for an arbitrary time length (udelay and mdelay). The 1063 default value is 0. 1064 1065- ``ENABLE_BRBE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable access to the branch record 1066 buffer registers from NS ELs when FEAT_BRBE is implemented. BRBE is an 1067 optional architectural feature for AArch64. This flag can take the values 1068 0 to 2, to align with the ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` mechanism. The default is 0 1069 and it is automatically disabled when the target architecture is AArch32. 1070 1071- ``ENABLE_TRBE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable access of trace buffer 1072 control registers from NS ELs, NS-EL2 or NS-EL1(when NS-EL2 is implemented 1073 but unused) when FEAT_TRBE is implemented. TRBE is an optional architectural 1074 feature for AArch64. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the 1075 ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` mechanism. The default is 0 and it is automatically 1076 disabled when the target architecture is AArch32. 1077 1078- ``ENABLE_SYS_REG_TRACE_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable trace system 1079 registers access from NS ELs, NS-EL2 or NS-EL1 (when NS-EL2 is implemented 1080 but unused). This feature is available if trace unit such as ETMv4.x, and 1081 ETE(extending ETM feature) is implemented. This flag can take the values 1082 0 to 2, to align with the ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` mechanism. The default is 0. 1083 1084- ``ENABLE_TRF_FOR_NS``: Numeric value to enable trace filter control registers 1085 access from NS ELs, NS-EL2 or NS-EL1 (when NS-EL2 is implemented but unused), 1086 if FEAT_TRF is implemented. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align 1087 with the ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` mechanism. This flag is disabled by default. 1088 1089- ``PLAT_RSS_NOT_SUPPORTED``: Boolean option to enable the usage of the PSA 1090 APIs on platforms that doesn't support RSS (providing Arm CCA HES 1091 functionalities). When enabled (``1``), a mocked version of the APIs are used. 1092 The default value is 0. 1093 1094- ``CONDITIONAL_CMO``: Boolean option to enable call to platform-defined routine 1095 ``plat_can_cmo`` which will return zero if cache management operations should 1096 be skipped and non-zero otherwise. By default, this option is disabled which 1097 means platform hook won't be checked and CMOs will always be performed when 1098 related functions are called. 1099 1100GICv3 driver options 1101-------------------- 1102 1103GICv3 driver files are included using directive: 1104 1105``include drivers/arm/gic/v3/gicv3.mk`` 1106 1107The driver can be configured with the following options set in the platform 1108makefile: 1109 1110- ``GICV3_SUPPORT_GIC600``: Add support for the GIC-600 variants of GICv3. 1111 Enabling this option will add runtime detection support for the 1112 GIC-600, so is safe to select even for a GIC500 implementation. 1113 This option defaults to 0. 1114 1115- ``GICV3_SUPPORT_GIC600AE_FMU``: Add support for the Fault Management Unit 1116 for GIC-600 AE. Enabling this option will introduce support to initialize 1117 the FMU. Platforms should call the init function during boot to enable the 1118 FMU and its safety mechanisms. This option defaults to 0. 1119 1120- ``GICV3_IMPL_GIC600_MULTICHIP``: Selects GIC-600 variant with multichip 1121 functionality. This option defaults to 0 1122 1123- ``GICV3_OVERRIDE_DISTIF_PWR_OPS``: Allows override of default implementation 1124 of ``arm_gicv3_distif_pre_save`` and ``arm_gicv3_distif_post_restore`` 1125 functions. This is required for FVP platform which need to simulate GIC save 1126 and restore during SYSTEM_SUSPEND without powering down GIC. Default is 0. 1127 1128- ``GIC_ENABLE_V4_EXTN`` : Enables GICv4 related changes in GICv3 driver. 1129 This option defaults to 0. 1130 1131- ``GIC_EXT_INTID``: When set to ``1``, GICv3 driver will support extended 1132 PPI (1056-1119) and SPI (4096-5119) range. This option defaults to 0. 1133 1134Debugging options 1135----------------- 1136 1137To compile a debug version and make the build more verbose use 1138 1139.. code:: shell 1140 1141 make PLAT=<platform> DEBUG=1 V=1 all 1142 1143AArch64 GCC 11 uses DWARF version 5 debugging symbols by default. Some tools 1144(for example Arm-DS) might not support this and may need an older version of 1145DWARF symbols to be emitted by GCC. This can be achieved by using the 1146``-gdwarf-<version>`` flag, with the version being set to 2, 3, 4 or 5. Setting 1147the version to 4 is recommended for Arm-DS. 1148 1149When debugging logic problems it might also be useful to disable all compiler 1150optimizations by using ``-O0``. 1151 1152.. warning:: 1153 Using ``-O0`` could cause output images to be larger and base addresses 1154 might need to be recalculated (see the **Memory layout on Arm development 1155 platforms** section in the :ref:`Firmware Design`). 1156 1157Extra debug options can be passed to the build system by setting ``CFLAGS`` or 1158``LDFLAGS``: 1159 1160.. code:: shell 1161 1162 CFLAGS='-O0 -gdwarf-2' \ 1163 make PLAT=<platform> DEBUG=1 V=1 all 1164 1165Note that using ``-Wl,`` style compilation driver options in ``CFLAGS`` will be 1166ignored as the linker is called directly. 1167 1168It is also possible to introduce an infinite loop to help in debugging the 1169post-BL2 phase of TF-A. This can be done by rebuilding BL1 with the 1170``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT=1`` build flag. Refer to the :ref:`build_options_common` 1171section. In this case, the developer may take control of the target using a 1172debugger when indicated by the console output. When using Arm-DS, the following 1173commands can be used: 1174 1175:: 1176 1177 # Stop target execution 1178 interrupt 1179 1180 # 1181 # Prepare your debugging environment, e.g. set breakpoints 1182 # 1183 1184 # Jump over the debug loop 1185 set var $AARCH64::$Core::$PC = $AARCH64::$Core::$PC + 4 1186 1187 # Resume execution 1188 continue 1189 1190Firmware update options 1191----------------------- 1192 1193- ``NR_OF_FW_BANKS``: Define the number of firmware banks. This flag is used 1194 in defining the firmware update metadata structure. This flag is by default 1195 set to '2'. 1196 1197- ``NR_OF_IMAGES_IN_FW_BANK``: Define the number of firmware images in each 1198 firmware bank. Each firmware bank must have the same number of images as per 1199 the `PSA FW update specification`_. 1200 This flag is used in defining the firmware update metadata structure. This 1201 flag is by default set to '1'. 1202 1203- ``PSA_FWU_SUPPORT``: Enable the firmware update mechanism as per the 1204 `PSA FW update specification`_. The default value is 0, and this is an 1205 experimental feature. 1206 PSA firmware update implementation has some limitations, such as BL2 is 1207 not part of the protocol-updatable images, if BL2 needs to be updated, then 1208 it should be done through another platform-defined mechanism, and it assumes 1209 that the platform's hardware supports CRC32 instructions. 1210 1211-------------- 1212 1213*Copyright (c) 2019-2023, Arm Limited.
