1QEMU SBSA Target
2================
3
4Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A) implements the EL3 firmware layer for QEMU SBSA
5Armv8-A. While running Qemu from command line, we need to supply two Flash
6images. First Secure BootRom is supplied by -pflash argument. This Flash image
7is made by EDK2 build system by composing BL1 and FIP. Second parameter for Qemu
8is responsible for Non-secure rom which also given with -pflash argument and
9contains of UEFI and EFI variables (also made by EDK2 build system). Semihosting
10is not used
11
12When QEMU starts all CPUs are released simultaneously, BL1 selects a
13primary CPU to handle the boot and the secondaries are placed in a polling
14loop to be released by normal world via PSCI.
15
16BL2 edits the FDT, generated by QEMU at run-time to add a node describing PSCI
17and also enable methods for the CPUs.
18
19Current limitations:
20
21-  Only cold boot is supported
22-  No instructions for how to load a BL32 (Secure Payload)
23
24To build TF-A:
25
26::
27
28    git clone https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a.git tfa
29    cd tfa
30    export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
31    make PLAT=qemu_sbsa all fip
32
33Images will be placed at build/qemu_sbsa/release (bl1.bin and fip.bin).
34Need to copy them into top directory for EDK2 compilation.
35
36::
37
38    cp build/qemu_sbsa/release/bl1.bin ../
39    cp build/qemu_sbsa/release/fip.bin ../
40
41Those images cannot be used by itself (no semihosing support). Flash images are built by
42EDK2 build system, refer to edk2-platform repo for full build instructions.
43
44::

46    git clone https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-platforms.git
