57
58The latest version of the AArch32 build of TF-A has been tested on the
59following Arm FVPs without shifted affinities, and that do not support threaded
60CPU cores (64-bit host machine only).
61
62-  ``FVP_Base_AEMvA``
63-  ``FVP_Base_AEMv8A-AEMv8A``
64-  ``FVP_Base_Cortex-A32x4``
65
66.. note::
67   The ``FVP_Base_RevC-2xAEMv8A`` FVP only supports shifted affinities, which
68   is not compatible with legacy GIC configurations. Therefore this FVP does not
69   support these legacy GIC configurations.
70
71The *Foundation* and *Base* FVPs can be downloaded free of charge. See the `Arm
72FVP website`_. The Cortex-A models listed above are also available to download
73from `Arm's website`_.
74
75.. note::
76   The build numbers quoted above are those reported by launching the FVP
77   with the ``--version`` parameter.
78
79.. note::
80   Linaro provides a ramdisk image in prebuilt FVP configurations and full
81   file systems that can be downloaded separately. To run an FVP with a virtio
82   file system image an additional FVP configuration option
83   ``-C bp.virtioblockdevice.image_path="<path-to>/<file-system-image>`` can be
84   used.
85
86.. note::
87   The software will not work on Version 1.0 of the Foundation FVP.
88   The commands below would report an ``unhandled argument`` error in this case.
89
90.. note::
91   FVPs can be launched with ``--cadi-server`` option such that a
92   CADI-compliant debugger (for example, Arm DS-5) can connect to and control
93   its execution.
94
95.. warning::
96   Since FVP model Version 11.0 Build 11.0.34 and Version 8.5 Build 0.8.5202
97   the internal synchronisation timings changed compared to older versions of
98   the models. The models can be launched with ``-Q 100`` option if they are
99   required to match the run time characteristics of the older versions.
100
101All the above platforms have been tested with `Linaro Release 19.06`_.

104
105Arm FVP Platform Specific Build Options
106---------------------------------------
107
108-  ``FVP_CLUSTER_COUNT`` : Configures the cluster count to be used to
109   build the topology tree within TF-A. By default TF-A is configured for dual
110   cluster topology and this option can be used to override the default value.
111
112-  ``FVP_INTERCONNECT_DRIVER``: Selects the interconnect driver to be built. The
113   default interconnect driver depends on the value of ``FVP_CLUSTER_COUNT`` as
114   explained in the options below:
115
116   -  ``FVP_CCI`` : The CCI driver is selected. This is the default
117      if 0 < ``FVP_CLUSTER_COUNT`` <= 2.
118   -  ``FVP_CCN`` : The CCN driver is selected. This is the default
119      if ``FVP_CLUSTER_COUNT`` > 2.
120
121-  ``FVP_MAX_CPUS_PER_CLUSTER``: Sets the maximum number of CPUs implemented in
122   a single cluster.  This option defaults to 4.
123
124-  ``FVP_MAX_PE_PER_CPU``: Sets the maximum number of PEs implemented on any CPU
125   in the system. This option defaults to 1. Note that the build option
126   ``ARM_PLAT_MT`` doesn't have any effect on FVP platforms.
127
128-  ``FVP_USE_GIC_DRIVER`` : Selects the GIC driver to be built. Options:
129
130   -  ``FVP_GICV2`` : The GICv2 only driver is selected
131   -  ``FVP_GICV3`` : The GICv3 only driver is selected (default option)
132
133-  ``FVP_HW_CONFIG_DTS`` : Specify the path to the DTS file to be compiled
134   to DTB and packaged in FIP as the HW_CONFIG. See :ref:`Firmware Design` for
135   details on HW_CONFIG. By default, this is initialized to a sensible DTS
136   file in ``fdts/`` folder depending on other build options. But some cases,
137   like shifted affinity format for MPIDR, cannot be detected at build time
138   and this option is needed to specify the appropriate DTS file.
139
140-  ``FVP_HW_CONFIG`` : Specify the path to the HW_CONFIG blob to be packaged in
141   FIP. See :ref:`Firmware Design` for details on HW_CONFIG. This option is
142   similar to the ``FVP_HW_CONFIG_DTS`` option, but it directly specifies the
143   HW_CONFIG blob instead of the DTS file. This option is useful to override
144   the default HW_CONFIG selected by the build system.
145
146-  ``FVP_GICR_REGION_PROTECTION``: Mark the redistributor pages of
147   inactive/fused CPU cores as read-only. The default value of this option
148   is ``0``, which means the redistributor pages of all CPU cores are marked
149   as read and write.
150
151Booting Firmware Update images
152------------------------------
153
154When Firmware Update (FWU) is enabled there are at least 2 new images
155that have to be loaded, the Non-Secure FWU ROM (NS-BL1U), and the
156FWU FIP.
157
158The additional fip images must be loaded with:
159
160::
161
162    --data cluster0.cpu0="<path_to>/ns_bl1u.bin"@0x0beb8000	[ns_bl1u_base_address]
163    --data cluster0.cpu0="<path_to>/fwu_fip.bin"@0x08400000	[ns_bl2u_base_address]
164
165The address ns_bl1u_base_address is the value of NS_BL1U_BASE.
166In the same way, the address ns_bl2u_base_address is the value of
167NS_BL2U_BASE.
168
169Booting an EL3 payload
170----------------------
171
172The EL3 payloads boot flow requires the CPU's mailbox to be cleared at reset for
173the secondary CPUs holding pen to work properly. Unfortunately, its reset value
174is undefined on the FVP platform and the FVP platform code doesn't clear it.
175Therefore, one must modify the way the model is normally invoked in order to
176clear the mailbox at start-up.
177
178One way to do that is to create an 8-byte file containing all zero bytes using
179the following command:
180
181.. code:: shell
182
183    dd if=/dev/zero of=mailbox.dat bs=1 count=8
184
185and pre-load it into the FVP memory at the mailbox address (i.e. ``0x04000000``)
186using the following model parameters:
187
188::
189
190    --data cluster0.cpu0=mailbox.dat@0x04000000   [Base FVPs]
191    --data=mailbox.dat@0x04000000                 [Foundation FVP]
192
193To provide the model with the EL3 payload image, the following methods may be
194used:
195
196#. If the EL3 payload is able to execute in place, it may be programmed into
197   flash memory. On Base Cortex and AEM FVPs, the following model parameter
198   loads it at the base address of the NOR FLASH1 (the NOR FLASH0 is already
199   used for the FIP):
200
201   ::
202
203       -C bp.flashloader1.fname="<path-to>/<el3-payload>"
204
205   On Foundation FVP, there is no flash loader component and the EL3 payload
206   may be programmed anywhere in flash using method 3 below.
207
208#. When using the ``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT=1`` loading method, the following DS-5
209   command may be used to load the EL3 payload ELF image over JTAG:
210
211   ::
212
213       load <path-to>/el3-payload.elf
214
215#. The EL3 payload may be pre-loaded in volatile memory using the following
216   model parameters:
217
218   ::
219
220       --data cluster0.cpu0="<path-to>/el3-payload>"@address   [Base FVPs]
221       --data="<path-to>/<el3-payload>"@address                [Foundation FVP]
222
223   The address provided to the FVP must match the ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE`` address
224   used when building TF-A.
225
226Booting a preloaded kernel image (Base FVP)
227-------------------------------------------
228
229The following example uses a simplified boot flow by directly jumping from the
230TF-A to the Linux kernel, which will use a ramdisk as filesystem. This can be
231useful if both the kernel and the device tree blob (DTB) are already present in
232memory (like in FVP).
233
234For example, if the kernel is loaded at ``0x80080000`` and the DTB is loaded at
235address ``0x82000000``, the firmware can be built like this:
236
237.. code:: shell
238
239    CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf-  \
240    make PLAT=fvp DEBUG=1             \
241    RESET_TO_BL31=1                   \
242    ARM_LINUX_KERNEL_AS_BL33=1        \
243    PRELOADED_BL33_BASE=0x80080000    \
244    ARM_PRELOADED_DTB_BASE=0x82000000 \
245    all fip
246
247Now, it is needed to modify the DTB so that the kernel knows the address of the
248ramdisk. The following script generates a patched DTB from the provided one,
249assuming that the ramdisk is loaded at address ``0x84000000``. Note that this
250script assumes that the user is using a ramdisk image prepared for U-Boot, like
251the ones provided by Linaro. If using a ramdisk without this header,the ``0x40``
252offset in ``INITRD_START`` has to be removed.
253
254.. code:: bash
255
256    #!/bin/bash
257
258    # Path to the input DTB
259    KERNEL_DTB=<path-to>/<fdt>
260    # Path to the output DTB
261    PATCHED_KERNEL_DTB=<path-to>/<patched-fdt>
262    # Base address of the ramdisk
263    INITRD_BASE=0x84000000
264    # Path to the ramdisk
265    INITRD=<path-to>/<ramdisk.img>
266
267    # Skip uboot header (64 bytes)
268    INITRD_START=$(printf "0x%x" $((${INITRD_BASE} + 0x40)) )
269    INITRD_SIZE=$(stat -Lc %s ${INITRD})
270    INITRD_END=$(printf "0x%x" $((${INITRD_BASE} + ${INITRD_SIZE})) )
271
272    CHOSEN_NODE=$(echo                                        \
273    "/ {                                                      \
274            chosen {                                          \
275                    linux,initrd-start = <${INITRD_START}>;   \
276                    linux,initrd-end = <${INITRD_END}>;       \
277            };                                                \
278    };")
279
280    echo $(dtc -O dts -I dtb ${KERNEL_DTB}) ${CHOSEN_NODE} |  \
281            dtc -O dtb -o ${PATCHED_KERNEL_DTB} -
282
283And the FVP binary can be run with the following command:
284
285.. code:: shell
286
287    <path-to>/FVP_Base_AEMv8A-AEMv8A                            \
288    -C pctl.startup=0.0.0.0                                     \

305
306Obtaining the Flattened Device Trees
307^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
308
309Depending on the FVP configuration and Linux configuration used, different
310FDT files are required. FDT source files for the Foundation and Base FVPs can
311be found in the TF-A source directory under ``fdts/``. The Foundation FVP has
312a subset of the Base FVP components. For example, the Foundation FVP lacks
313CLCD and MMC support, and has only one CPU cluster.
314
315.. note::
316   It is not recommended to use the FDTs built along the kernel because not
317   all FDTs are available from there.
318
319The dynamic configuration capability is enabled in the firmware for FVPs.
320This means that the firmware can authenticate and load the FDT if present in
321FIP. A default FDT is packaged into FIP during the build based on
322the build configuration. This can be overridden by using the ``FVP_HW_CONFIG``
323or ``FVP_HW_CONFIG_DTS`` build options (refer to
324:ref:`build_options_arm_fvp_platform` for details on the options).
325

329   affinities and with Base memory map configuration.
330
331-  ``fvp-base-gicv2-psci-aarch32.dts``
332
333   For use with models such as the Cortex-A32 Base FVPs without shifted

391-  The Firmware Image Package is loaded at the start of NOR FLASH0.
392-  The firmware loads the FDT packaged in FIP to the DRAM. The FDT load address
393   is specified via the ``hw_config_addr`` property in `TB_FW_CONFIG for FVP`_.
394-  The default use-case for the Foundation FVP is to use the ``--gicv3`` option
395   and enable the GICv3 device in the model. Note that without this option,
396   the Foundation FVP defaults to legacy (Versatile Express) memory map which
397   is not supported by TF-A.
398-  In order for TF-A to run correctly on the Foundation FVP, the architecture
399   versions must match. The Foundation FVP defaults to the highest v8.x
400   version it supports but the default build for TF-A is for v8.0. To avoid
401   issues either start the Foundation FVP to use v8.0 architecture using the
402   ``--arm-v8.0`` option, or build TF-A with an appropriate value for
403   ``ARM_ARCH_MINOR``.

524Notes:
525
526-  If Position Independent Executable (PIE) support is enabled for BL31
527   in this config, it can be loaded at any valid address for execution.
528
529-  Since a FIP is not loaded when using BL31 as reset entrypoint, the
530   ``--data="<path-to><bl31|bl32|bl33-binary>"@<base-address-of-binary>``
531   parameter is needed to load the individual bootloader images in memory.
532   BL32 image is only needed if BL31 has been built to expect a Secure-EL1
533   Payload. For the same reason, the FDT needs to be compiled from the DT source
534   and loaded via the ``--data cluster0.cpu0="<path-to>/<fdt>"@0x82000000``
535   parameter.
536
537-  The ``FVP_Base_RevC-2xAEMv8A`` has shifted affinities and requires a
538   specific DTS for all the CPUs to be loaded.
539
540-  The ``-C cluster<X>.cpu<Y>.RVBAR=@<base-address-of-bl31>`` parameter, where
541   X and Y are the cluster and CPU numbers respectively, is used to set the
542   reset vector for each core.
543
544-  Changing the default value of ``ARM_TSP_RAM_LOCATION`` will also require
545   changing the value of
546   ``--data="<path-to><bl32-binary>"@<base-address-of-bl32>`` to the new value of
547   ``BL32_BASE``.
