56The latest version of the AArch32 build of TF-A has been tested on the
57following Arm FVPs without shifted affinities, and that do not support threaded
58CPU cores (64-bit host machine only).
59
60-  ``FVP_Base_AEMvA``
61-  ``FVP_Base_AEMvA-AEMvA``
62-  ``FVP_Base_Cortex-A32x4``
63
64.. note::
65   The ``FVP_Base_RevC-2xAEMvA`` FVP only supports shifted affinities, which
66   is not compatible with legacy GIC configurations. Therefore this FVP does not
67   support these legacy GIC configurations.
68
69The *Foundation* and *Base* FVPs can be downloaded free of charge. See the `Arm
70FVP website`_. The Cortex-A models listed above are also available to download
71from `Arm's website`_.
72
73.. note::
74   The build numbers quoted above are those reported by launching the FVP
75   with the ``--version`` parameter.
76
77.. note::
78   Linaro provides a ramdisk image in prebuilt FVP configurations and full
79   file systems that can be downloaded separately. To run an FVP with a virtio
80   file system image an additional FVP configuration option
81   ``-C bp.virtioblockdevice.image_path="<path-to>/<file-system-image>`` can be
82   used.
83
84.. note::
85   The software will not work on Version 1.0 of the Foundation FVP.
86   The commands below would report an ``unhandled argument`` error in this case.
87
88.. note::
89   FVPs can be launched with ``--cadi-server`` option such that a
90   CADI-compliant debugger (for example, Arm DS-5) can connect to and control
91   its execution.
92
93.. warning::
94   Since FVP model Version 11.0 Build 11.0.34 and Version 8.5 Build 0.8.5202
95   the internal synchronisation timings changed compared to older versions of
96   the models. The models can be launched with ``-Q 100`` option if they are
97   required to match the run time characteristics of the older versions.
98
99All the above platforms have been tested with `Linaro Release 20.01`_.

102
103Arm FVP Platform Specific Build Options
104---------------------------------------
105
106-  ``FVP_CLUSTER_COUNT`` : Configures the cluster count to be used to
107   build the topology tree within TF-A. By default TF-A is configured for dual
108   cluster topology and this option can be used to override the default value.
109
110-  ``FVP_INTERCONNECT_DRIVER``: Selects the interconnect driver to be built. The
111   default interconnect driver depends on the value of ``FVP_CLUSTER_COUNT`` as
112   explained in the options below:
113
114   -  ``FVP_CCI`` : The CCI driver is selected. This is the default
115      if 0 < ``FVP_CLUSTER_COUNT`` <= 2.
116   -  ``FVP_CCN`` : The CCN driver is selected. This is the default
117      if ``FVP_CLUSTER_COUNT`` > 2.
118
119-  ``FVP_MAX_CPUS_PER_CLUSTER``: Sets the maximum number of CPUs implemented in
120   a single cluster.  This option defaults to 4.
121
122-  ``FVP_MAX_PE_PER_CPU``: Sets the maximum number of PEs implemented on any CPU
123   in the system. This option defaults to 1. Note that the build option
124   ``ARM_PLAT_MT`` doesn't have any effect on FVP platforms.
125
126-  ``FVP_USE_GIC_DRIVER`` : Selects the GIC driver to be built. Options:
127
128   -  ``FVP_GICV2`` : The GICv2 only driver is selected
129   -  ``FVP_GICV3`` : The GICv3 only driver is selected (default option)
130
131-  ``FVP_HW_CONFIG_DTS`` : Specify the path to the DTS file to be compiled
132   to DTB and packaged in FIP as the HW_CONFIG. See :ref:`Firmware Design` for
133   details on HW_CONFIG. By default, this is initialized to a sensible DTS
134   file in ``fdts/`` folder depending on other build options. But some cases,
135   like shifted affinity format for MPIDR, cannot be detected at build time
136   and this option is needed to specify the appropriate DTS file.
137
138-  ``FVP_HW_CONFIG`` : Specify the path to the HW_CONFIG blob to be packaged in
139   FIP. See :ref:`Firmware Design` for details on HW_CONFIG. This option is
140   similar to the ``FVP_HW_CONFIG_DTS`` option, but it directly specifies the
141   HW_CONFIG blob instead of the DTS file. This option is useful to override
142   the default HW_CONFIG selected by the build system.
143
144-  ``FVP_GICR_REGION_PROTECTION``: Mark the redistributor pages of
145   inactive/fused CPU cores as read-only. The default value of this option
146   is ``0``, which means the redistributor pages of all CPU cores are marked
147   as read and write.
148
149Booting Firmware Update images
150------------------------------
151
152When Firmware Update (FWU) is enabled there are at least 2 new images
153that have to be loaded, the Non-Secure FWU ROM (NS-BL1U), and the
154FWU FIP.
155
156The additional fip images must be loaded with:
157
158::
159
160    --data cluster0.cpu0="<path_to>/ns_bl1u.bin"@0x0beb8000	[ns_bl1u_base_address]
161    --data cluster0.cpu0="<path_to>/fwu_fip.bin"@0x08400000	[ns_bl2u_base_address]
162
163The address ns_bl1u_base_address is the value of NS_BL1U_BASE.
164In the same way, the address ns_bl2u_base_address is the value of
165NS_BL2U_BASE.
166
167Booting an EL3 payload
168----------------------
169
170The EL3 payloads boot flow requires the CPU's mailbox to be cleared at reset for
171the secondary CPUs holding pen to work properly. Unfortunately, its reset value
172is undefined on the FVP platform and the FVP platform code doesn't clear it.
173Therefore, one must modify the way the model is normally invoked in order to
174clear the mailbox at start-up.
175
176One way to do that is to create an 8-byte file containing all zero bytes using
177the following command:
178
179.. code:: shell
180
181    dd if=/dev/zero of=mailbox.dat bs=1 count=8
182
183and pre-load it into the FVP memory at the mailbox address (i.e. ``0x04000000``)
184using the following model parameters:
185
186::
187
188    --data cluster0.cpu0=mailbox.dat@0x04000000   [Base FVPs]
189    --data=mailbox.dat@0x04000000                 [Foundation FVP]
190
191To provide the model with the EL3 payload image, the following methods may be
192used:
193
194#. If the EL3 payload is able to execute in place, it may be programmed into
195   flash memory. On Base Cortex and AEM FVPs, the following model parameter
196   loads it at the base address of the NOR FLASH1 (the NOR FLASH0 is already
197   used for the FIP):
198
199   ::
200
201       -C bp.flashloader1.fname="<path-to>/<el3-payload>"
202
203   On Foundation FVP, there is no flash loader component and the EL3 payload
204   may be programmed anywhere in flash using method 3 below.
205
206#. When using the ``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT=1`` loading method, the following DS-5
207   command may be used to load the EL3 payload ELF image over JTAG:
208
209   ::
210
211       load <path-to>/el3-payload.elf
212
213#. The EL3 payload may be pre-loaded in volatile memory using the following
214   model parameters:
215
216   ::
217
218       --data cluster0.cpu0="<path-to>/el3-payload>"@address   [Base FVPs]
219       --data="<path-to>/<el3-payload>"@address                [Foundation FVP]
220
221   The address provided to the FVP must match the ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE`` address
222   used when building TF-A.
223
224Booting a preloaded kernel image (Base FVP)
225-------------------------------------------
226
227The following example uses a simplified boot flow by directly jumping from the
228TF-A to the Linux kernel, which will use a ramdisk as filesystem. This can be
229useful if both the kernel and the device tree blob (DTB) are already present in
230memory (like in FVP).
231
232For example, if the kernel is loaded at ``0x80080000`` and the DTB is loaded at
233address ``0x82000000``, the firmware can be built like this:
234
235.. code:: shell
236
237    CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf-  \
238    make PLAT=fvp DEBUG=1             \
239    RESET_TO_BL31=1                   \
240    ARM_LINUX_KERNEL_AS_BL33=1        \
241    PRELOADED_BL33_BASE=0x80080000    \
242    ARM_PRELOADED_DTB_BASE=0x82000000 \
243    all fip
244
245Now, it is needed to modify the DTB so that the kernel knows the address of the
246ramdisk. The following script generates a patched DTB from the provided one,
247assuming that the ramdisk is loaded at address ``0x84000000``. Note that this
248script assumes that the user is using a ramdisk image prepared for U-Boot, like
249the ones provided by Linaro. If using a ramdisk without this header,the ``0x40``
250offset in ``INITRD_START`` has to be removed.
251
252.. code:: bash
253
254    #!/bin/bash
255
256    # Path to the input DTB
257    KERNEL_DTB=<path-to>/<fdt>
258    # Path to the output DTB
259    PATCHED_KERNEL_DTB=<path-to>/<patched-fdt>
260    # Base address of the ramdisk
261    INITRD_BASE=0x84000000
262    # Path to the ramdisk
263    INITRD=<path-to>/<ramdisk.img>
264
265    # Skip uboot header (64 bytes)
266    INITRD_START=$(printf "0x%x" $((${INITRD_BASE} + 0x40)) )
267    INITRD_SIZE=$(stat -Lc %s ${INITRD})
268    INITRD_END=$(printf "0x%x" $((${INITRD_BASE} + ${INITRD_SIZE})) )
269
270    CHOSEN_NODE=$(echo                                        \
271    "/ {                                                      \
272            chosen {                                          \
273                    linux,initrd-start = <${INITRD_START}>;   \
274                    linux,initrd-end = <${INITRD_END}>;       \
275            };                                                \
276    };")
277
278    echo $(dtc -O dts -I dtb ${KERNEL_DTB}) ${CHOSEN_NODE} |  \
279            dtc -O dtb -o ${PATCHED_KERNEL_DTB} -
280
281And the FVP binary can be run with the following command:
282
283.. code:: shell
284
285    <path-to>/FVP_Base_AEMv8A-AEMv8A                            \
286    -C pctl.startup=0.0.0.0                                     \

303
304Obtaining the Flattened Device Trees
305^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
306
307Depending on the FVP configuration and Linux configuration used, different
308FDT files are required. FDT source files for the Foundation and Base FVPs can
309be found in the TF-A source directory under ``fdts/``. The Foundation FVP has
310a subset of the Base FVP components. For example, the Foundation FVP lacks
311CLCD and MMC support, and has only one CPU cluster.
312
313.. note::
314   It is not recommended to use the FDTs built along the kernel because not
315   all FDTs are available from there.
316
317The dynamic configuration capability is enabled in the firmware for FVPs.
318This means that the firmware can authenticate and load the FDT if present in
319FIP. A default FDT is packaged into FIP during the build based on
320the build configuration. This can be overridden by using the ``FVP_HW_CONFIG``
321or ``FVP_HW_CONFIG_DTS`` build options (refer to
322:ref:`build_options_arm_fvp_platform` for details on the options).
323
324-  ``fvp-base-gicv2-psci.dts``
325

327   without shifted affinities and with Base memory map configuration.
328
329-  ``fvp-base-gicv3-psci.dts``
330
331   For use with models such as the Cortex-A57-A53 or Cortex-A32 Base FVPs

333   Linux GICv3 support.
334
335-  ``fvp-base-gicv3-psci-1t.dts``
336

355
356Running on the Foundation FVP with reset to BL1 entrypoint
357^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
358
359The following ``Foundation_Platform`` parameters should be used to boot Linux with
3604 CPUs using the AArch64 build of TF-A.
361
362.. code:: shell
363
364    <path-to>/Foundation_Platform                   \
365    --cores=4                                       \
366    --arm-v8.0                                      \

373    --data="<path-to>/<ramdisk-binary>"@0x84000000
374
375Notes:
376
377-  BL1 is loaded at the start of the Trusted ROM.
378-  The Firmware Image Package is loaded at the start of NOR FLASH0.
379-  The firmware loads the FDT packaged in FIP to the DRAM. The FDT load address
380   is specified via the ``load-address`` property in the ``hw-config`` node of
381   `FW_CONFIG for FVP`_.
382-  The default use-case for the Foundation FVP is to use the ``--gicv3`` option
383   and enable the GICv3 device in the model. Note that without this option,
384   the Foundation FVP defaults to legacy (Versatile Express) memory map which
385   is not supported by TF-A.
386-  In order for TF-A to run correctly on the Foundation FVP, the architecture
387   versions must match. The Foundation FVP defaults to the highest v8.x
388   version it supports but the default build for TF-A is for v8.0. To avoid

512Notes:
513
514-  Position Independent Executable (PIE) support is enabled in this
515   config allowing BL31 to be loaded at any valid address for execution.
516
517-  Since a FIP is not loaded when using BL31 as reset entrypoint, the
518   ``--data="<path-to><bl31|bl32|bl33-binary>"@<base-address-of-binary>``
519   parameter is needed to load the individual bootloader images in memory.
520   BL32 image is only needed if BL31 has been built to expect a Secure-EL1
521   Payload. For the same reason, the FDT needs to be compiled from the DT source
522   and loaded via the ``--data cluster0.cpu0="<path-to>/<fdt>"@0x82000000``
523   parameter.
524
525-  The ``FVP_Base_RevC-2xAEMv8A`` has shifted affinities and requires a
526   specific DTS for all the CPUs to be loaded.
527
528-  The ``-C cluster<X>.cpu<Y>.RVBAR=@<base-address-of-bl31>`` parameter, where
529   X and Y are the cluster and CPU numbers respectively, is used to set the
530   reset vector for each core.
531
532-  Changing the default value of ``ARM_TSP_RAM_LOCATION`` will also require
533   changing the value of
534   ``--data="<path-to><bl32-binary>"@<base-address-of-bl32>`` to the new value of
535   ``BL32_BASE``.
