1Trusted Firmware-A for STM32MP1
2===============================
3
4STM32MP1 is a microprocessor designed by STMicroelectronics
5based on a dual Arm Cortex-A7.
6It is an Armv7-A platform, using dedicated code from TF-A.
7The STM32MP1 chip also embeds a Cortex-M4.
8More information can be found on `STM32MP1 Series`_ page.

11Design
12------
13The STM32MP1 resets in the ROM code of the Cortex-A7.
14The primary boot core (core 0) executes the boot sequence while
15secondary boot core (core 1) is kept in a holding pen loop.
16The ROM code boot sequence loads the TF-A binary image from boot device
17to embedded SRAM.
18
19The TF-A image must be properly formatted with a STM32 header structure
20for ROM code is able to load this image.
21Tool stm32image can be used to prepend this header to the generated TF-A binary.
22
23At compilation step, BL2, BL32 and DTB file are linked together in a single
24binary. The stm32image tool is also generated and the header is added to TF-A
25binary. This binary file with header is named tf-a-stm32mp157c-ev1.stm32.
26It can then be copied in the first partition of the boot device.

73Build Instructions
74------------------
75
76To build:
77
78.. code:: bash
79
80    make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- PLAT=stm32mp1 ARCH=aarch32 ARM_ARCH_MAJOR=7 AARCH32_SP=sp_min
81    cd <u-boot_directory>
82    make stm32mp15_basic_defconfig
83    make DEVICE_TREE=stm32mp157c-ev1 all
84    ./tools/mkimage -T stm32image -a 0xC0100000 -e 0xC0100000 -d u-boot.bin u-boot.stm32
85
86The following build options are supported:
87
88- ``ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR``: To enable the stack protection.
89
90
91Populate SD-card
92----------------
93
94The SD-card has to be formated with GPT.
95It should contain at least those partitions:
96
97- fsbl: to copy the tf-a-stm32mp157c-ev1.stm32 binary
98- ssbl: to copy the u-boot.stm32 binary
99
100Usually, two copies of fsbl are used (fsbl1 and fsbl2) instead of one partition fsbl.
