56
57The latest version of the AArch32 build of TF-A has been tested on the
58following Arm FVPs without shifted affinities, and that do not support threaded
59CPU cores (64-bit host machine only).
60
61-  ``FVP_Base_AEMvA``
62-  ``FVP_Base_AEMv8A-AEMv8A``
63-  ``FVP_Base_Cortex-A32x4``
64
65.. note::
66   The ``FVP_Base_RevC-2xAEMv8A`` FVP only supports shifted affinities, which
67   is not compatible with legacy GIC configurations. Therefore this FVP does not
68   support these legacy GIC configurations.
69
70The *Foundation* and *Base* FVPs can be downloaded free of charge. See the `Arm
71FVP website`_. The Cortex-A models listed above are also available to download
72from `Arm's website`_.
73
74.. note::
75   The build numbers quoted above are those reported by launching the FVP
76   with the ``--version`` parameter.
77
78.. note::
79   Linaro provides a ramdisk image in prebuilt FVP configurations and full
80   file systems that can be downloaded separately. To run an FVP with a virtio
81   file system image an additional FVP configuration option
82   ``-C bp.virtioblockdevice.image_path="<path-to>/<file-system-image>`` can be
83   used.
84
85.. note::
86   The software will not work on Version 1.0 of the Foundation FVP.
87   The commands below would report an ``unhandled argument`` error in this case.
88
89.. note::
90   FVPs can be launched with ``--cadi-server`` option such that a
91   CADI-compliant debugger (for example, Arm DS-5) can connect to and control
92   its execution.
93
94.. warning::
95   Since FVP model Version 11.0 Build 11.0.34 and Version 8.5 Build 0.8.5202
96   the internal synchronisation timings changed compared to older versions of
97   the models. The models can be launched with ``-Q 100`` option if they are
98   required to match the run time characteristics of the older versions.
99
100All the above platforms have been tested with `Linaro Release 19.06`_.

103
104Arm FVP Platform Specific Build Options
105---------------------------------------
106
107-  ``FVP_CLUSTER_COUNT`` : Configures the cluster count to be used to
108   build the topology tree within TF-A. By default TF-A is configured for dual
109   cluster topology and this option can be used to override the default value.
110
111-  ``FVP_INTERCONNECT_DRIVER``: Selects the interconnect driver to be built. The
112   default interconnect driver depends on the value of ``FVP_CLUSTER_COUNT`` as
113   explained in the options below:
114
115   -  ``FVP_CCI`` : The CCI driver is selected. This is the default
116      if 0 < ``FVP_CLUSTER_COUNT`` <= 2.
117   -  ``FVP_CCN`` : The CCN driver is selected. This is the default
118      if ``FVP_CLUSTER_COUNT`` > 2.
119
120-  ``FVP_MAX_CPUS_PER_CLUSTER``: Sets the maximum number of CPUs implemented in
121   a single cluster.  This option defaults to 4.
122
123-  ``FVP_MAX_PE_PER_CPU``: Sets the maximum number of PEs implemented on any CPU
124   in the system. This option defaults to 1. Note that the build option
125   ``ARM_PLAT_MT`` doesn't have any effect on FVP platforms.
126
127-  ``FVP_USE_GIC_DRIVER`` : Selects the GIC driver to be built. Options:
128
129   -  ``FVP_GICV2`` : The GICv2 only driver is selected
130   -  ``FVP_GICV3`` : The GICv3 only driver is selected (default option)
131
132-  ``FVP_HW_CONFIG_DTS`` : Specify the path to the DTS file to be compiled
133   to DTB and packaged in FIP as the HW_CONFIG. See :ref:`Firmware Design` for
134   details on HW_CONFIG. By default, this is initialized to a sensible DTS
135   file in ``fdts/`` folder depending on other build options. But some cases,
136   like shifted affinity format for MPIDR, cannot be detected at build time
137   and this option is needed to specify the appropriate DTS file.
138
139-  ``FVP_HW_CONFIG`` : Specify the path to the HW_CONFIG blob to be packaged in
140   FIP. See :ref:`Firmware Design` for details on HW_CONFIG. This option is
141   similar to the ``FVP_HW_CONFIG_DTS`` option, but it directly specifies the
142   HW_CONFIG blob instead of the DTS file. This option is useful to override
143   the default HW_CONFIG selected by the build system.
144
145Booting Firmware Update images
146------------------------------
147
148When Firmware Update (FWU) is enabled there are at least 2 new images
149that have to be loaded, the Non-Secure FWU ROM (NS-BL1U), and the
150FWU FIP.
151
152The additional fip images must be loaded with:
153
154::
155
156    --data cluster0.cpu0="<path_to>/ns_bl1u.bin"@0x0beb8000	[ns_bl1u_base_address]
157    --data cluster0.cpu0="<path_to>/fwu_fip.bin"@0x08400000	[ns_bl2u_base_address]
158
159The address ns_bl1u_base_address is the value of NS_BL1U_BASE.
160In the same way, the address ns_bl2u_base_address is the value of
161NS_BL2U_BASE.
162
163Booting an EL3 payload
164----------------------
165
166The EL3 payloads boot flow requires the CPU's mailbox to be cleared at reset for
167the secondary CPUs holding pen to work properly. Unfortunately, its reset value
168is undefined on the FVP platform and the FVP platform code doesn't clear it.
169Therefore, one must modify the way the model is normally invoked in order to
170clear the mailbox at start-up.
171
172One way to do that is to create an 8-byte file containing all zero bytes using
173the following command:
174
175.. code:: shell
176
177    dd if=/dev/zero of=mailbox.dat bs=1 count=8
178
179and pre-load it into the FVP memory at the mailbox address (i.e. ``0x04000000``)
180using the following model parameters:
181
182::
183
184    --data cluster0.cpu0=mailbox.dat@0x04000000   [Base FVPs]
185    --data=mailbox.dat@0x04000000                 [Foundation FVP]
186
187To provide the model with the EL3 payload image, the following methods may be
188used:
189
190#. If the EL3 payload is able to execute in place, it may be programmed into
191   flash memory. On Base Cortex and AEM FVPs, the following model parameter
192   loads it at the base address of the NOR FLASH1 (the NOR FLASH0 is already
193   used for the FIP):
194
195   ::
196
197       -C bp.flashloader1.fname="<path-to>/<el3-payload>"
198
199   On Foundation FVP, there is no flash loader component and the EL3 payload
200   may be programmed anywhere in flash using method 3 below.
201
202#. When using the ``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT=1`` loading method, the following DS-5
203   command may be used to load the EL3 payload ELF image over JTAG:
204
205   ::
206
207       load <path-to>/el3-payload.elf
208
209#. The EL3 payload may be pre-loaded in volatile memory using the following
210   model parameters:
211
212   ::
213
214       --data cluster0.cpu0="<path-to>/el3-payload>"@address   [Base FVPs]
215       --data="<path-to>/<el3-payload>"@address                [Foundation FVP]
216
217   The address provided to the FVP must match the ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE`` address
218   used when building TF-A.
219
220Booting a preloaded kernel image (Base FVP)
221-------------------------------------------
222
223The following example uses a simplified boot flow by directly jumping from the
224TF-A to the Linux kernel, which will use a ramdisk as filesystem. This can be
225useful if both the kernel and the device tree blob (DTB) are already present in
226memory (like in FVP).
227
228For example, if the kernel is loaded at ``0x80080000`` and the DTB is loaded at
229address ``0x82000000``, the firmware can be built like this:
230
231.. code:: shell
232
233    CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf-  \
234    make PLAT=fvp DEBUG=1             \
235    RESET_TO_BL31=1                   \
236    ARM_LINUX_KERNEL_AS_BL33=1        \
237    PRELOADED_BL33_BASE=0x80080000    \
238    ARM_PRELOADED_DTB_BASE=0x82000000 \
239    all fip
240
241Now, it is needed to modify the DTB so that the kernel knows the address of the
242ramdisk. The following script generates a patched DTB from the provided one,
243assuming that the ramdisk is loaded at address ``0x84000000``. Note that this
244script assumes that the user is using a ramdisk image prepared for U-Boot, like
245the ones provided by Linaro. If using a ramdisk without this header,the ``0x40``
246offset in ``INITRD_START`` has to be removed.
247
248.. code:: bash
249
250    #!/bin/bash
251
252    # Path to the input DTB
253    KERNEL_DTB=<path-to>/<fdt>
254    # Path to the output DTB
255    PATCHED_KERNEL_DTB=<path-to>/<patched-fdt>
256    # Base address of the ramdisk
257    INITRD_BASE=0x84000000
258    # Path to the ramdisk
259    INITRD=<path-to>/<ramdisk.img>
260
261    # Skip uboot header (64 bytes)
262    INITRD_START=$(printf "0x%x" $((${INITRD_BASE} + 0x40)) )
263    INITRD_SIZE=$(stat -Lc %s ${INITRD})
264    INITRD_END=$(printf "0x%x" $((${INITRD_BASE} + ${INITRD_SIZE})) )
265
266    CHOSEN_NODE=$(echo                                        \
267    "/ {                                                      \
268            chosen {                                          \
269                    linux,initrd-start = <${INITRD_START}>;   \
270                    linux,initrd-end = <${INITRD_END}>;       \
271            };                                                \
272    };")
273
274    echo $(dtc -O dts -I dtb ${KERNEL_DTB}) ${CHOSEN_NODE} |  \
275            dtc -O dtb -o ${PATCHED_KERNEL_DTB} -
276
277And the FVP binary can be run with the following command:
278
279.. code:: shell
280
281    <path-to>/FVP_Base_AEMv8A-AEMv8A                            \
282    -C pctl.startup=0.0.0.0                                     \

299
300Obtaining the Flattened Device Trees
301^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
302
303Depending on the FVP configuration and Linux configuration used, different
304FDT files are required. FDT source files for the Foundation and Base FVPs can
305be found in the TF-A source directory under ``fdts/``. The Foundation FVP has
306a subset of the Base FVP components. For example, the Foundation FVP lacks
307CLCD and MMC support, and has only one CPU cluster.
308
309.. note::
310   It is not recommended to use the FDTs built along the kernel because not
311   all FDTs are available from there.
312
313The dynamic configuration capability is enabled in the firmware for FVPs.
314This means that the firmware can authenticate and load the FDT if present in
315FIP. A default FDT is packaged into FIP during the build based on
316the build configuration. This can be overridden by using the ``FVP_HW_CONFIG``
317or ``FVP_HW_CONFIG_DTS`` build options (refer to
318:ref:`build_options_arm_fvp_platform` for details on the options).
319
320-  ``fvp-base-gicv2-psci.dts``
321
322   For use with models such as the Cortex-A57-A53 Base FVPs without shifted
323   affinities and with Base memory map configuration.
324
325-  ``fvp-base-gicv2-psci-aarch32.dts``
326
327   For use with models such as the Cortex-A32 Base FVPs without shifted
328   affinities and running Linux in AArch32 state with Base memory map
329   configuration.
330
331-  ``fvp-base-gicv3-psci.dts``
332
333   For use with models such as the Cortex-A57-A53 Base FVPs without shifted
334   affinities and with Base memory map configuration and Linux GICv3 support.
335
336-  ``fvp-base-gicv3-psci-1t.dts``
337
338   For use with models such as the AEMv8-RevC Base FVP with shifted affinities,
339   single threaded CPUs, Base memory map configuration and Linux GICv3 support.
340
341-  ``fvp-base-gicv3-psci-dynamiq.dts``
342
343   For use with models as the Cortex-A55-A75 Base FVPs with shifted affinities,
344   single cluster, single threaded CPUs, Base memory map configuration and Linux
345   GICv3 support.
346
347-  ``fvp-base-gicv3-psci-aarch32.dts``
348
349   For use with models such as the Cortex-A32 Base FVPs without shifted
350   affinities and running Linux in AArch32 state with Base memory map
351   configuration and Linux GICv3 support.
352
353-  ``fvp-foundation-gicv2-psci.dts``
354
355   For use with Foundation FVP with Base memory map configuration.
356
357-  ``fvp-foundation-gicv3-psci.dts``
358

360   and Linux GICv3 support.
361
362
363Running on the Foundation FVP with reset to BL1 entrypoint
364^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
365
366The following ``Foundation_Platform`` parameters should be used to boot Linux with
3674 CPUs using the AArch64 build of TF-A.
368
369.. code:: shell
370
371    <path-to>/Foundation_Platform                   \

380    --data="<path-to>/<ramdisk-binary>"@0x84000000
381
382Notes:
383
384-  BL1 is loaded at the start of the Trusted ROM.
385-  The Firmware Image Package is loaded at the start of NOR FLASH0.
386-  The firmware loads the FDT packaged in FIP to the DRAM. The FDT load address
387   is specified via the ``hw_config_addr`` property in `TB_FW_CONFIG for FVP`_.
388-  The default use-case for the Foundation FVP is to use the ``--gicv3`` option
389   and enable the GICv3 device in the model. Note that without this option,
390   the Foundation FVP defaults to legacy (Versatile Express) memory map which
391   is not supported by TF-A.
392-  In order for TF-A to run correctly on the Foundation FVP, the architecture
393   versions must match. The Foundation FVP defaults to the highest v8.x
394   version it supports but the default build for TF-A is for v8.0. To avoid
395   issues either start the Foundation FVP to use v8.0 architecture using the
396   ``--arm-v8.0`` option, or build TF-A with an appropriate value for
397   ``ARM_ARCH_MINOR``.

518Notes:
519
520-  If Position Independent Executable (PIE) support is enabled for BL31
521   in this config, it can be loaded at any valid address for execution.
522
523-  Since a FIP is not loaded when using BL31 as reset entrypoint, the
524   ``--data="<path-to><bl31|bl32|bl33-binary>"@<base-address-of-binary>``
525   parameter is needed to load the individual bootloader images in memory.
526   BL32 image is only needed if BL31 has been built to expect a Secure-EL1
527   Payload. For the same reason, the FDT needs to be compiled from the DT source
528   and loaded via the ``--data cluster0.cpu0="<path-to>/<fdt>"@0x82000000``
529   parameter.
530
531-  The ``FVP_Base_RevC-2xAEMv8A`` has shifted affinities and requires a
532   specific DTS for all the CPUs to be loaded.
533
534-  The ``-C cluster<X>.cpu<Y>.RVBAR=@<base-address-of-bl31>`` parameter, where
535   X and Y are the cluster and CPU numbers respectively, is used to set the
536   reset vector for each core.
537
538-  Changing the default value of ``ARM_TSP_RAM_LOCATION`` will also require
539   changing the value of
540   ``--data="<path-to><bl32-binary>"@<base-address-of-bl32>`` to the new value of
541   ``BL32_BASE``.
