Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +01001Build Options
2=============
3
4The TF-A build system supports the following build options. Unless mentioned
5otherwise, these options are expected to be specified at the build command
6line and are not to be modified in any component makefiles. Note that the
7build system doesn't track dependency for build options. Therefore, if any of
8the build options are changed from a previous build, a clean build must be
9performed.
10
11.. _build_options_common:
12
13Common build options
14--------------------
15
16- ``AARCH32_INSTRUCTION_SET``: Choose the AArch32 instruction set that the
17 compiler should use. Valid values are T32 and A32. It defaults to T32 due to
18 code having a smaller resulting size.
19
20- ``AARCH32_SP`` : Choose the AArch32 Secure Payload component to be built as
21 as the BL32 image when ``ARCH=aarch32``. The value should be the path to the
22 directory containing the SP source, relative to the ``bl32/``; the directory
23 is expected to contain a makefile called ``<aarch32_sp-value>.mk``.
24
johpow01fa59c6f2020-10-02 13:41:11 -050025- ``AMU_RESTRICT_COUNTERS``: Register reads to the group 1 counters will return
26 zero at all but the highest implemented exception level. Reads from the
27 memory mapped view are unaffected by this control.
28
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +010029- ``ARCH`` : Choose the target build architecture for TF-A. It can take either
30 ``aarch64`` or ``aarch32`` as values. By default, it is defined to
31 ``aarch64``.
32
Alexei Fedorov132e6652020-12-07 16:38:53 +000033- ``ARM_ARCH_FEATURE``: Optional Arm Architecture build option which specifies
34 one or more feature modifiers. This option has the form ``[no]feature+...``
35 and defaults to ``none``. It translates into compiler option
36 ``-march=armvX[.Y]-a+[no]feature+...``. See compiler's documentation for the
37 list of supported feature modifiers.
38
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +010039- ``ARM_ARCH_MAJOR``: The major version of Arm Architecture to target when
40 compiling TF-A. Its value must be numeric, and defaults to 8 . See also,

42 :ref:`Firmware Design`.
43
44- ``ARM_ARCH_MINOR``: The minor version of Arm Architecture to target when
45 compiling TF-A. Its value must be a numeric, and defaults to 0. See also,
46 *Armv8 Architecture Extensions* in :ref:`Firmware Design`.
47
48- ``BL2``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to BL2
49 image for the ``fip`` target. In this case, the BL2 in the TF-A will not be
50 built.
51
52- ``BL2U``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to
53 BL2U image. In this case, the BL2U in TF-A will not be built.
54
55- ``BL2_AT_EL3``: This is an optional build option that enables the use of
56 BL2 at EL3 execution level.
57
Balint Dobszay719ba9c2021-03-26 16:23:18 +010058- ``BL2_ENABLE_SP_LOAD``: Boolean option to enable loading SP packages from the
59 FIP. Automatically enabled if ``SP_LAYOUT_FILE`` is provided.
60
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +010061- ``BL2_IN_XIP_MEM``: In some use-cases BL2 will be stored in eXecute In Place
62 (XIP) memory, like BL1. In these use-cases, it is necessary to initialize
63 the RW sections in RAM, while leaving the RO sections in place. This option
64 enable this use-case. For now, this option is only supported when BL2_AT_EL3
65 is set to '1'.
66
67- ``BL31``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to
68 BL31 image for the ``fip`` target. In this case, the BL31 in TF-A will not
69 be built.
70
71- ``BL31_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies the
72 file that contains the BL31 private key in PEM format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``,
73 this file name will be used to save the key.
74
75- ``BL32``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to
76 BL32 image for the ``fip`` target. In this case, the BL32 in TF-A will not
77 be built.

90 ``fip`` target in case TF-A BL2 is used.
91
92- ``BL33_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies the
93 file that contains the BL33 private key in PEM format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``,
94 this file name will be used to save the key.
95
96- ``BRANCH_PROTECTION``: Numeric value to enable ARMv8.3 Pointer Authentication
97 and ARMv8.5 Branch Target Identification support for TF-A BL images themselves.
98 If enabled, it is needed to use a compiler that supports the option
99 ``-mbranch-protection``. Selects the branch protection features to use:
100- 0: Default value turns off all types of branch protection
101- 1: Enables all types of branch protection features
102- 2: Return address signing to its standard level
103- 3: Extend the signing to include leaf functions
Alexei Fedorove039e482020-06-19 14:33:49 +0100104- 4: Turn on branch target identification mechanism

Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100122
Manish Pandey34a305e2021-10-21 21:53:49 +0100123 This option defaults to 0.
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100124 Note that Pointer Authentication is enabled for Non-secure world
125 irrespective of the value of this option if the CPU supports it.
126
127- ``BUILD_MESSAGE_TIMESTAMP``: String used to identify the time and date of the
128 compilation of each build. It must be set to a C string (including quotes
129 where applicable). Defaults to a string that contains the time and date of
130 the compilation.
131
132- ``BUILD_STRING``: Input string for VERSION_STRING, which allows the TF-A
133 build to be uniquely identified. Defaults to the current git commit id.
134
Grant Likely388248a2020-07-30 08:50:10 +0100135- ``BUILD_BASE``: Output directory for the build. Defaults to ``./build``
136

138 addition to the options set by the build system.
139
140- ``COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU``: This option indicates whether the platform may
141 release several CPUs out of reset. It can take either 0 (several CPUs may be
142 brought up) or 1 (only one CPU will ever be brought up during cold reset).
143 Default is 0. If the platform always brings up a single CPU, there is no
144 need to distinguish between primary and secondary CPUs and the boot path can
145 be optimised. The ``plat_is_my_cpu_primary()`` and
146 ``plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup()`` platform porting interfaces do not need
147 to be implemented in this case.
148
Sandrine Bailleuxd4c1d442020-01-15 10:23:25 +0100149- ``COT``: When Trusted Boot is enabled, selects the desired chain of trust.

156
157- ``CREATE_KEYS``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It tells the
158 certificate generation tool to create new keys in case no valid keys are
159 present or specified. Allowed options are '0' or '1'. Default is '1'.
160
161- ``CTX_INCLUDE_AARCH32_REGS`` : Boolean option that, when set to 1, will cause
162 the AArch32 system registers to be included when saving and restoring the
163 CPU context. The option must be set to 0 for AArch64-only platforms (that
164 is on hardware that does not implement AArch32, or at least not at EL1 and
165 higher ELs). Default value is 1.
166
Olivier Deprez7efa3f12020-03-26 16:09:21 +0100167- ``CTX_INCLUDE_EL2_REGS`` : This boolean option provides context save/restore
168 operations when entering/exiting an EL2 execution context. This is of primary
169 interest when Armv8.4-SecEL2 extension is implemented. Default is 0 (disabled).
170 This option must be equal to 1 (enabled) when ``SPD=spmd`` and
171 ``SPMD_SPM_AT_SEL2`` is set.

178 registers in cpu context. This must be enabled, if the platform wants to use
179 this feature in the Secure world and MTE is enabled at ELX. This flag can
180 take values 0 to 2, to align with the ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` mechanism.
181 Default value is 0.
Arunachalam Ganapathydd3ec7e2020-05-28 11:57:09 +0100182
Jayanth Dodderi Chidanand38b461a2022-02-28 23:41:41 +0000183- ``CTX_INCLUDE_NEVE_REGS``: Numeric value, when set will cause the Armv8.4-NV
184 registers to be saved/restored when entering/exiting an EL2 execution
185 context. This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with the
186 ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` mechanism. Default value is 0.
187
188- ``CTX_INCLUDE_PAUTH_REGS``: Numeric value to enable the Pointer
189 Authentication for Secure world. This will cause the ARMv8.3-PAuth registers
190 to be included when saving and restoring the CPU context as part of world
191 switch. This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with ``FEATURE_DETECTION``
192 mechanism. Default value is 0.
193
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100194 Note that Pointer Authentication is enabled for Non-secure world irrespective

211 (Armv8.6 onwards). Its default value is 0 to keep consistency with platforms
212 that do not implement FEAT_MTPMU. For more information on FEAT_MTPMU,
213 check the latest Arm ARM.
214
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100215- ``DYN_DISABLE_AUTH``: Provides the capability to dynamically disable Trusted
216 Board Boot authentication at runtime. This option is meant to be enabled only
217 for development platforms. ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` flag must be set if this
218 flag has to be enabled. 0 is the default.
219
220- ``E``: Boolean option to make warnings into errors. Default is 1.
221
222- ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE``: This option enables booting an EL3 payload instead of
223 the normal boot flow. It must specify the entry point address of the EL3
224 payload. Please refer to the "Booting an EL3 payload" section for more
225 details.
226
227- ``ENABLE_AMU``: Boolean option to enable Activity Monitor Unit extensions.
228 This is an optional architectural feature available on v8.4 onwards. Some
229 v8.2 implementations also implement an AMU and this option can be used to
230 enable this feature on those systems as well. Default is 0.
231
Chris Kay925fda42021-05-25 10:42:56 +0100232- ``ENABLE_AMU_AUXILIARY_COUNTERS``: Enables support for AMU auxiliary counters
233 (also known as group 1 counters). These are implementation-defined counters,
234 and as such require additional platform configuration. Default is 0.
235
Chris Kayf11909f2021-08-19 11:21:52 +0100236- ``ENABLE_AMU_FCONF``: Enables configuration of the AMU through FCONF, which

241 are compiled out. For debug builds, this option defaults to 1, and calls to
242 ``assert()`` are left in place. For release builds, this option defaults to 0
243 and calls to ``assert()`` function are compiled out. This option can be set
244 independently of ``DEBUG``. It can also be used to hide any auxiliary code
245 that is only required for the assertion and does not fit in the assertion
246 itself.
247
Alexei Fedorovb8f26e92020-02-06 17:11:03 +0000248- ``ENABLE_BACKTRACE``: This option controls whether to enable backtrace
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100249 dumps or not. It is supported in both AArch64 and AArch32. However, in
250 AArch32 the format of the frame records are not defined in the AAPCS and they
251 are defined by the implementation. This implementation of backtrace only
252 supports the format used by GCC when T32 interworking is disabled. For this
253 reason enabling this option in AArch32 will force the compiler to only
254 generate A32 code. This option is enabled by default only in AArch64 debug
255 builds, but this behaviour can be overridden in each platform's Makefile or
256 in the build command line.
257

Jayanth Dodderi Chidanand38b461a2022-02-28 23:41:41 +0000349- ``ENABLE_MPAM_FOR_LOWER_ELS``: Numeric value to enable lower ELs to use MPAM
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100350 feature. MPAM is an optional Armv8.4 extension that enables various memory
351 system components and resources to define partitions; software running at
352 various ELs can assign themselves to desired partition to control their
353 performance aspects.
354
Jayanth Dodderi Chidanand38b461a2022-02-28 23:41:41 +0000355 This flag can take values 0 to 2, to align with the ``FEATURE_DETECTION``
356 mechanism. When this option is set to ``1`` or ``2``, EL3 allows lower ELs to
357 access their own MPAM registers without trapping into EL3. This option
358 doesn't make use of partitioning in EL3, however. Platform initialisation
359 code should configure and use partitions in EL3 as required. This option
360 defaults to ``0``.
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100361
Chris Kay03be39d2021-05-05 13:38:30 +0100362- ``ENABLE_MPMM``: Boolean option to enable support for the Maximum Power
363 Mitigation Mechanism supported by certain Arm cores, which allows the SoC
364 firmware to detect and limit high activity events to assist in SoC processor
365 power domain dynamic power budgeting and limit the triggering of whole-rail
366 (i.e. clock chopping) responses to overcurrent conditions. Defaults to ``0``.
367
368- ``ENABLE_MPMM_FCONF``: Enables configuration of MPMM through FCONF, which
369 allows platforms with cores supporting MPMM to describe them via the
370 ``HW_CONFIG`` device tree blob. Default is 0.
371
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100372- ``ENABLE_PIE``: Boolean option to enable Position Independent Executable(PIE)
373 support within generic code in TF-A. This option is currently only supported
Yann Gautier514e59c2020-10-05 11:02:54 +0200374 in BL2_AT_EL3, BL31, and BL32 (TSP) for AARCH64 binaries, and in BL32
375 (SP_min) for AARCH32. Default is 0.
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100376
377- ``ENABLE_PMF``: Boolean option to enable support for optional Performance
378 Measurement Framework(PMF). Default is 0.
379
380- ``ENABLE_PSCI_STAT``: Boolean option to enable support for optional PSCI
381 functions ``PSCI_STAT_RESIDENCY`` and ``PSCI_STAT_COUNT``. Default is 0.
382 In the absence of an alternate stat collection backend, ``ENABLE_PMF`` must
383 be enabled. If ``ENABLE_PMF`` is set, the residency statistics are tracked in
384 software.
385
Jayanth Dodderi Chidanand38b461a2022-02-28 23:41:41 +0000386- ``ENABLE_RME``: Numeric value to enable support for the ARMv9 Realm
387 Management Extension. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with
388 the ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` mechanism. Default value is 0. This is currently
389 an experimental feature.
Zelalem Aweke4d37db82021-07-11 18:33:20 -0500390
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100391- ``ENABLE_RUNTIME_INSTRUMENTATION``: Boolean option to enable runtime
392 instrumentation which injects timestamp collection points into TF-A to
393 allow runtime performance to be measured. Currently, only PSCI is
394 instrumented. Enabling this option enables the ``ENABLE_PMF`` build option
395 as well. Default is 0.
396
johpow019baade32021-07-08 14:14:00 -0500397- ``ENABLE_SME_FOR_NS``: Boolean option to enable Scalable Matrix Extension
398 (SME), SVE, and FPU/SIMD for the non-secure world only. These features share
399 registers so are enabled together. Using this option without
400 ENABLE_SME_FOR_SWD=1 will cause SME, SVE, and FPU/SIMD instructions in secure
401 world to trap to EL3. SME is an optional architectural feature for AArch64
402 and TF-A support is experimental. At this time, this build option cannot be
Manish Pandey247e5c32021-11-15 15:29:08 +0000403 used on systems that have SPD=spmd/SPM_MM or ENABLE_RME, and attempting to
404 build with these options will fail. Default is 0.
johpow019baade32021-07-08 14:14:00 -0500405
406- ``ENABLE_SME_FOR_SWD``: Boolean option to enable the Scalable Matrix
407 Extension for secure world use along with SVE and FPU/SIMD, ENABLE_SME_FOR_NS
408 must also be set to use this. If enabling this, the secure world MUST
409 handle context switching for SME, SVE, and FPU/SIMD registers to ensure that
410 no data is leaked to non-secure world. This is experimental. Default is 0.
411
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100412- ``ENABLE_SPE_FOR_LOWER_ELS`` : Boolean option to enable Statistical Profiling
413 extensions. This is an optional architectural feature for AArch64.
414 The default is 1 but is automatically disabled when the target architecture
415 is AArch32.
416
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100417- ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS``: Boolean option to enable Scalable Vector Extension
418 (SVE) for the Non-secure world only. SVE is an optional architectural feature
419 for AArch64. Note that when SVE is enabled for the Non-secure world, access
Max Shvetsovc4502772021-03-22 11:59:37 +0000420 to SIMD and floating-point functionality from the Secure world is disabled by
421 default and controlled with ENABLE_SVE_FOR_SWD.
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100422 This is to avoid corruption of the Non-secure world data in the Z-registers
423 which are aliased by the SIMD and FP registers. The build option is not
424 compatible with the ``CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS`` build option, and will raise an
425 assert on platforms where SVE is implemented and ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS`` set to
johpow019baade32021-07-08 14:14:00 -0500426 1. The default is 1 but is automatically disabled when ENABLE_SME_FOR_NS=1
Manish Pandey247e5c32021-11-15 15:29:08 +0000427 since SME encompasses SVE. At this time, this build option cannot be used on
428 systems that have SPM_MM enabled.
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100429
Max Shvetsovc4502772021-03-22 11:59:37 +0000430- ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_SWD``: Boolean option to enable SVE for the Secure world.
431 SVE is an optional architectural feature for AArch64. Note that this option
Jayanth Dodderi Chidanand38b461a2022-02-28 23:41:41 +0000432 requires ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS to be enabled. The default is 0 and it
433 is automatically disabled when the target architecture is AArch32.
Max Shvetsovc4502772021-03-22 11:59:37 +0000434
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100435- ``ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR``: String option to enable the stack protection
436 checks in GCC. Allowed values are "all", "strong", "default" and "none". The
437 default value is set to "none". "strong" is the recommended stack protection
438 level if this feature is desired. "none" disables the stack protection. For
439 all values other than "none", the ``plat_get_stack_protector_canary()``
440 platform hook needs to be implemented. The value is passed as the last
441 component of the option ``-fstack-protector-$ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR``.
442
Sumit Gargc0c369c2019-11-15 18:47:53 +0530443- ``ENCRYPT_BL31``: Binary flag to enable encryption of BL31 firmware. This
Manish Pandey34a305e2021-10-21 21:53:49 +0100444 flag depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag.
Sumit Gargc0c369c2019-11-15 18:47:53 +0530445
446- ``ENCRYPT_BL32``: Binary flag to enable encryption of Secure BL32 payload.
Manish Pandey34a305e2021-10-21 21:53:49 +0100447 This flag depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag.
Sumit Gargc0c369c2019-11-15 18:47:53 +0530448
449- ``ENC_KEY``: A 32-byte (256-bit) symmetric key in hex string format. It could
450 either be SSK or BSSK depending on ``FW_ENC_STATUS`` flag. This value depends
Manish Pandey34a305e2021-10-21 21:53:49 +0100451 on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag.
Sumit Gargc0c369c2019-11-15 18:47:53 +0530452
453- ``ENC_NONCE``: A 12-byte (96-bit) encryption nonce or Initialization Vector
454 (IV) in hex string format. This value depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT``
Manish Pandey34a305e2021-10-21 21:53:49 +0100455 build flag.
Sumit Gargc0c369c2019-11-15 18:47:53 +0530456
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100457- ``ERROR_DEPRECATED``: This option decides whether to treat the usage of
458 deprecated platform APIs, helper functions or drivers within Trusted
459 Firmware as error. It can take the value 1 (flag the use of deprecated
460 APIs as error) or 0. The default is 0.
461
462- ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING``: When set to ``1``, enable handling of exceptions
463 targeted at EL3. When set ``0`` (default), no exceptions are expected or
464 handled at EL3, and a panic will result. This is supported only for AArch64
465 builds.
466
Javier Almansa Sobrino0d1f6b12020-09-18 16:47:07 +0100467- ``EVENT_LOG_LEVEL``: Chooses the log level to use for Measured Boot when
468 ``MEASURED_BOOT`` is enabled. For a list of valid values, see ``LOG_LEVEL``.
469 Default value is 40 (LOG_LEVEL_INFO).
470
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100471- ``FAULT_INJECTION_SUPPORT``: ARMv8.4 extensions introduced support for fault
472 injection from lower ELs, and this build option enables lower ELs to use
473 Error Records accessed via System Registers to inject faults. This is
474 applicable only to AArch64 builds.
475
476 This feature is intended for testing purposes only, and is advisable to keep
477 disabled for production images.
478
Jayanth Dodderi Chidanand38b461a2022-02-28 23:41:41 +0000479- ``FEATURE_DETECTION``: Boolean option to enable the architectural features
480 detection mechanism. It detects whether the Architectural features enabled
481 through feature specific build flags are supported by the PE or not by
482 validating them either at boot phase or at runtime based on the value
483 possessed by the feature flag (0 to 2) and report error messages at an early
484 stage.
485
486 This prevents and benefits us from EL3 runtime exceptions during context save
487 and restore routines guarded by these build flags. Henceforth validating them
488 before their usage provides more control on the actions taken under them.
489
490 The mechanism permits the build flags to take values 0, 1 or 2 and
491 evaluates them accordingly.
492
493 Lets consider ``ENABLE_FEAT_HCX``, build flag for ``FEAT_HCX`` as an example:
494
495 ::
496
497 ENABLE_FEAT_HCX = 0: Feature disabled statically at compile time.
498 ENABLE_FEAT_HCX = 1: Feature Enabled and the flag is validated at boottime.
499 ENABLE_FEAT_HCX = 2: Feature Enabled and the flag is validated at runtime.
500
501 In the above example, if the feature build flag, ``ENABLE_FEAT_HCX`` set to
502 0, feature is disabled statically during compilation. If it is defined as 1,
503 feature is validated, wherein FEAT_HCX is detected at boot time. In case not
504 implemented by the PE, a hard panic is generated. Finally, if the flag is set
505 to 2, feature is validated at runtime.
506
507 Note that the entire implementation is divided into two phases, wherein as
508 as part of phase-1 we are supporting the values 0,1. Value 2 is currently not
509 supported and is planned to be handled explicilty in phase-2 implementation.
510
511 FEATURE_DETECTION macro is disabled by default, and is currently an
512 experimental procedure. Platforms can explicitly make use of this by
513 mechanism, by enabling it to validate whether they have set their build flags
514 properly at an early phase.
515
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100516- ``FIP_NAME``: This is an optional build option which specifies the FIP
517 filename for the ``fip`` target. Default is ``fip.bin``.
518
519- ``FWU_FIP_NAME``: This is an optional build option which specifies the FWU
520 FIP filename for the ``fwu_fip`` target. Default is ``fwu_fip.bin``.
521
Sumit Gargc0c369c2019-11-15 18:47:53 +0530522- ``FW_ENC_STATUS``: Top level firmware's encryption numeric flag, values:
523
524 ::
525
526 0: Encryption is done with Secret Symmetric Key (SSK) which is common
527 for a class of devices.
528 1: Encryption is done with Binding Secret Symmetric Key (BSSK) which is
529 unique per device.
530
Manish Pandey34a305e2021-10-21 21:53:49 +0100531 This flag depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag.
Sumit Gargc0c369c2019-11-15 18:47:53 +0530532
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100533- ``GENERATE_COT``: Boolean flag used to build and execute the ``cert_create``
534 tool to create certificates as per the Chain of Trust described in
535 :ref:`Trusted Board Boot`. The build system then calls ``fiptool`` to
536 include the certificates in the FIP and FWU_FIP. Default value is '0'.
537
538 Specify both ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1`` and ``GENERATE_COT=1`` to include support
539 for the Trusted Board Boot feature in the BL1 and BL2 images, to generate
540 the corresponding certificates, and to include those certificates in the
541 FIP and FWU_FIP.
542
543 Note that if ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=0`` and ``GENERATE_COT=1``, the BL1 and BL2
544 images will not include support for Trusted Board Boot. The FIP will still
545 include the corresponding certificates. This FIP can be used to verify the
546 Chain of Trust on the host machine through other mechanisms.
547
548 Note that if ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1`` and ``GENERATE_COT=0``, the BL1 and BL2
549 images will include support for Trusted Board Boot, but the FIP and FWU_FIP
550 will not include the corresponding certificates, causing a boot failure.
551
552- ``GICV2_G0_FOR_EL3``: Unlike GICv3, the GICv2 architecture doesn't have
553 inherent support for specific EL3 type interrupts. Setting this build option
554 to ``1`` assumes GICv2 *Group 0* interrupts are expected to target EL3, both
Madhukar Pappireddy86350ae2020-07-29 09:37:25 -0500555 by :ref:`platform abstraction layer<platform Interrupt Controller API>` and
556 :ref:`Interrupt Management Framework<Interrupt Management Framework>`.
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100557 This allows GICv2 platforms to enable features requiring EL3 interrupt type.
558 This also means that all GICv2 Group 0 interrupts are delivered to EL3, and
559 the Secure Payload interrupts needs to be synchronously handed over to Secure
560 EL1 for handling. The default value of this option is ``0``, which means the
561 Group 0 interrupts are assumed to be handled by Secure EL1.
562
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100563- ``HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST``: When set to ``1``, External Aborts and SError
564 Interrupts will be always trapped in EL3 i.e. in BL31 at runtime. When set to
565 ``0`` (default), these exceptions will be trapped in the current exception
566 level (or in EL1 if the current exception level is EL0).
567
568- ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY``: On most Arm systems to-date, platform-specific
569 software operations are required for CPUs to enter and exit coherency.
570 However, newer systems exist where CPUs' entry to and exit from coherency
571 is managed in hardware. Such systems require software to only initiate these
572 operations, and the rest is managed in hardware, minimizing active software
573 management. In such systems, this boolean option enables TF-A to carry out
574 build and run-time optimizations during boot and power management operations.
575 This option defaults to 0 and if it is enabled, then it implies
576 ``WARMBOOT_ENABLE_DCACHE_EARLY`` is also enabled.
577
578 If this flag is disabled while the platform which TF-A is compiled for
579 includes cores that manage coherency in hardware, then a compilation error is
580 generated. This is based on the fact that a system cannot have, at the same
581 time, cores that manage coherency in hardware and cores that don't. In other
582 words, a platform cannot have, at the same time, cores that require
583 ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY=1`` and cores that require
584 ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY=0``.
585
586 Note that, when ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY`` is enabled, version 2 of
587 translation library (xlat tables v2) must be used; version 1 of translation
588 library is not supported.
589
Louis Mayencourtc1c2bf72020-02-13 08:21:34 +0000590- ``INVERTED_MEMMAP``: memmap tool print by default lower addresses at the
David Horstmannb2cc35f2021-01-21 12:29:59 +0000591 bottom, higher addresses at the top. This build flag can be set to '1' to
Louis Mayencourtc1c2bf72020-02-13 08:21:34 +0000592 invert this behavior. Lower addresses will be printed at the top and higher
593 addresses at the bottom.
594
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100595- ``JUNO_AARCH32_EL3_RUNTIME``: This build flag enables you to execute EL3
596 runtime software in AArch32 mode, which is required to run AArch32 on Juno.
597 By default this flag is set to '0'. Enabling this flag builds BL1 and BL2 in
598 AArch64 and facilitates the loading of ``SP_MIN`` and BL33 as AArch32 executable
599 images.
600
601- ``KEY_ALG``: This build flag enables the user to select the algorithm to be
602 used for generating the PKCS keys and subsequent signing of the certificate.
603 It accepts 3 values: ``rsa``, ``rsa_1_5`` and ``ecdsa``. The option
604 ``rsa_1_5`` is the legacy PKCS#1 RSA 1.5 algorithm which is not TBBR
605 compliant and is retained only for compatibility. The default value of this
606 flag is ``rsa`` which is the TBBR compliant PKCS#1 RSA 2.1 scheme.
607
Gilad Ben-Yossefa6e53422019-09-15 13:29:29 +0300608- ``KEY_SIZE``: This build flag enables the user to select the key size for
609 the algorithm specified by ``KEY_ALG``. The valid values for ``KEY_SIZE``
610 depend on the chosen algorithm and the cryptographic module.
611
612 +-----------+------------------------------------+
613 | KEY_ALG | Possible key sizes |
614 +===========+====================================+
615 | rsa | 1024 , 2048 (default), 3072, 4096* |
616 +-----------+------------------------------------+
617 | ecdsa | unavailable |
618 +-----------+------------------------------------+
619
620 * Only 2048 bits size is available with CryptoCell 712 SBROM release 1.
621 Only 3072 bits size is available with CryptoCell 712 SBROM release 2.
622
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100623- ``HASH_ALG``: This build flag enables the user to select the secure hash
624 algorithm. It accepts 3 values: ``sha256``, ``sha384`` and ``sha512``.
625 The default value of this flag is ``sha256``.
626
627- ``LDFLAGS``: Extra user options appended to the linkers' command line in
628 addition to the one set by the build system.
629
630- ``LOG_LEVEL``: Chooses the log level, which controls the amount of console log
631 output compiled into the build. This should be one of the following:
632
633 ::
634
635 0 (LOG_LEVEL_NONE)
636 10 (LOG_LEVEL_ERROR)
637 20 (LOG_LEVEL_NOTICE)
638 30 (LOG_LEVEL_WARNING)
639 40 (LOG_LEVEL_INFO)
640 50 (LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE)
641
642 All log output up to and including the selected log level is compiled into
643 the build. The default value is 40 in debug builds and 20 in release builds.
644
Alexei Fedorov913cb7e2020-01-23 14:27:38 +0000645- ``MEASURED_BOOT``: Boolean flag to include support for the Measured Boot
Manish V Badarkhe92de80a2021-12-16 10:41:47 +0000646 feature. This flag can be enabled with ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` in order to
647 provide trust that the code taking the measurements and recording them has
648 not been tampered with.
Sandrine Bailleux533d8b32021-06-10 11:18:04 +0200649
Manish Pandey34a305e2021-10-21 21:53:49 +0100650 This option defaults to 0.
Alexei Fedorov913cb7e2020-01-23 14:27:38 +0000651
Manish V Badarkhe8564f772022-02-14 18:31:16 +0000652- ``DRTM_SUPPORT``: Boolean flag to enable support for Dynamic Root of Trust
653 for Measurement (DRTM). This feature has trust dependency on BL31 for taking
654 the measurements and recording them as per `PSA DRTM specification`_. For
655 platforms which use BL2 to load/authenticate BL31 ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` can
656 be used and for the platforms which use ``RESET_TO_BL31`` platform owners
657 should have mechanism to authenticate BL31.
658
659 This option defaults to 0.
660
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100661- ``NON_TRUSTED_WORLD_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It
662 specifies the file that contains the Non-Trusted World private key in PEM
663 format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, this file name will be used to save the key.
664
665- ``NS_BL2U``: Path to NS_BL2U image in the host file system. This image is
666 optional. It is only needed if the platform makefile specifies that it
667 is required in order to build the ``fwu_fip`` target.
668
669- ``NS_TIMER_SWITCH``: Enable save and restore for non-secure timer register
670 contents upon world switch. It can take either 0 (don't save and restore) or
671 1 (do save and restore). 0 is the default. An SPD may set this to 1 if it
672 wants the timer registers to be saved and restored.
673
674- ``OVERRIDE_LIBC``: This option allows platforms to override the default libc
675 for the BL image. It can be either 0 (include) or 1 (remove). The default
676 value is 0.
677
678- ``PL011_GENERIC_UART``: Boolean option to indicate the PL011 driver that
679 the underlying hardware is not a full PL011 UART but a minimally compliant
680 generic UART, which is a subset of the PL011. The driver will not access
681 any register that is not part of the SBSA generic UART specification.
682 Default value is 0 (a full PL011 compliant UART is present).
683
684- ``PLAT``: Choose a platform to build TF-A for. The chosen platform name
685 must be subdirectory of any depth under ``plat/``, and must contain a
686 platform makefile named ``platform.mk``. For example, to build TF-A for the
687 Arm Juno board, select PLAT=juno.
688
689- ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE``: This option enables booting a preloaded BL33 image
690 instead of the normal boot flow. When defined, it must specify the entry
691 point address for the preloaded BL33 image. This option is incompatible with
692 ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE``. If both are defined, ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE`` has priority
693 over ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE``.
694
695- ``PROGRAMMABLE_RESET_ADDRESS``: This option indicates whether the reset
696 vector address can be programmed or is fixed on the platform. It can take
697 either 0 (fixed) or 1 (programmable). Default is 0. If the platform has a
698 programmable reset address, it is expected that a CPU will start executing
699 code directly at the right address, both on a cold and warm reset. In this
700 case, there is no need to identify the entrypoint on boot and the boot path
701 can be optimised. The ``plat_get_my_entrypoint()`` platform porting interface
702 does not need to be implemented in this case.
703
704- ``PSCI_EXTENDED_STATE_ID``: As per PSCI1.0 Specification, there are 2 formats
705 possible for the PSCI power-state parameter: original and extended State-ID
706 formats. This flag if set to 1, configures the generic PSCI layer to use the
707 extended format. The default value of this flag is 0, which means by default
708 the original power-state format is used by the PSCI implementation. This flag
709 should be specified by the platform makefile and it governs the return value
710 of PSCI_FEATURES API for CPU_SUSPEND smc function id. When this option is
711 enabled on Arm platforms, the option ``ARM_RECOM_STATE_ID_ENC`` needs to be
712 set to 1 as well.
713
Jayanth Dodderi Chidanand38b461a2022-02-28 23:41:41 +0000714- ``RAS_EXTENSION``: Numeric value to enable Armv8.2 RAS features. RAS features
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100715 are an optional extension for pre-Armv8.2 CPUs, but are mandatory for Armv8.2
Jayanth Dodderi Chidanand38b461a2022-02-28 23:41:41 +0000716 or later CPUs. This flag can take the values 0 to 2, to align with the
717 ``FEATURE_DETECTION`` mechanism.
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100718
719 When ``RAS_EXTENSION`` is set to ``1``, ``HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST`` must also be
720 set to ``1``.
721
722 This option is disabled by default.
723
724- ``RESET_TO_BL31``: Enable BL31 entrypoint as the CPU reset vector instead
725 of the BL1 entrypoint. It can take the value 0 (CPU reset to BL1
726 entrypoint) or 1 (CPU reset to BL31 entrypoint).
727 The default value is 0.
728
Jorge Ramirez-Ortiz598db322022-04-15 11:51:03 +0200729- ``RESET_TO_BL31_WITH_PARAMS``: If ``RESET_TO_BL31`` has been enabled, setting
730 this additional option guarantees that the input registers are not cleared
731 therefore allowing parameters to be passed to the BL31 entrypoint.
732 The default value is 0.
733
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100734- ``RESET_TO_SP_MIN``: SP_MIN is the minimal AArch32 Secure Payload provided
735 in TF-A. This flag configures SP_MIN entrypoint as the CPU reset vector
736 instead of the BL1 entrypoint. It can take the value 0 (CPU reset to BL1
737 entrypoint) or 1 (CPU reset to SP_MIN entrypoint). The default value is 0.
738
739- ``ROT_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies the
Max Shvetsov06dba292019-12-06 11:50:12 +0000740 file that contains the ROT private key in PEM format and enforces public key
741 hash generation. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, this
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100742 file name will be used to save the key.
743
744- ``SAVE_KEYS``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It tells the
745 certificate generation tool to save the keys used to establish the Chain of
746 Trust. Allowed options are '0' or '1'. Default is '0' (do not save).
747
748- ``SCP_BL2``: Path to SCP_BL2 image in the host file system. This image is optional.
749 If a SCP_BL2 image is present then this option must be passed for the ``fip``
750 target.
751
752- ``SCP_BL2_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies the
753 file that contains the SCP_BL2 private key in PEM format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``,
754 this file name will be used to save the key.
755
756- ``SCP_BL2U``: Path to SCP_BL2U image in the host file system. This image is
757 optional. It is only needed if the platform makefile specifies that it
758 is required in order to build the ``fwu_fip`` target.
759
760- ``SDEI_SUPPORT``: Setting this to ``1`` enables support for Software
761 Delegated Exception Interface to BL31 image. This defaults to ``0``.
762
763 When set to ``1``, the build option ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING`` must also be
764 set to ``1``.
765
766- ``SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA``: Whether code and read-only data should be
767 isolated on separate memory pages. This is a trade-off between security and
768 memory usage. See "Isolating code and read-only data on separate memory
Olivier Deprez7efa3f12020-03-26 16:09:21 +0100769 pages" section in :ref:`Firmware Design`. This flag is disabled by default
770 and affects all BL images.
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100771
Samuel Holland31a14e12018-10-17 21:40:18 -0500772- ``SEPARATE_NOBITS_REGION``: Setting this option to ``1`` allows the NOBITS
773 sections of BL31 (.bss, stacks, page tables, and coherent memory) to be
774 allocated in RAM discontiguous from the loaded firmware image. When set, the
David Horstmannb2cc35f2021-01-21 12:29:59 +0000775 platform is expected to provide definitions for ``BL31_NOBITS_BASE`` and
Samuel Holland31a14e12018-10-17 21:40:18 -0500776 ``BL31_NOBITS_LIMIT``. When the option is ``0`` (the default), NOBITS
777 sections are placed in RAM immediately following the loaded firmware image.
778
Jiafei Pan0824b452022-02-24 10:47:33 +0800779- ``SEPARATE_BL2_NOLOAD_REGION``: Setting this option to ``1`` allows the
780 NOLOAD sections of BL2 (.bss, stacks, page tables) to be allocated in RAM
781 discontiguous from loaded firmware images. When set, the platform need to
782 provide definitions of ``BL2_NOLOAD_START`` and ``BL2_NOLOAD_LIMIT``. This
783 flag is disabled by default and NOLOAD sections are placed in RAM immediately
784 following the loaded firmware image.
785
Jeremy Linton684a0792021-01-26 22:42:03 -0600786- ``SMC_PCI_SUPPORT``: This option allows platforms to handle PCI configuration
787 access requests via a standard SMCCC defined in `DEN0115`_. When combined with
788 UEFI+ACPI this can provide a certain amount of OS forward compatibility
789 with newer platforms that aren't ECAM compliant.
790
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100791- ``SPD``: Choose a Secure Payload Dispatcher component to be built into TF-A.
792 This build option is only valid if ``ARCH=aarch64``. The value should be
793 the path to the directory containing the SPD source, relative to
794 ``services/spd/``; the directory is expected to contain a makefile called
Olivier Deprez7efa3f12020-03-26 16:09:21 +0100795 ``<spd-value>.mk``. The SPM Dispatcher standard service is located in
796 services/std_svc/spmd and enabled by ``SPD=spmd``. The SPM Dispatcher
797 cannot be enabled when the ``SPM_MM`` option is enabled.
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100798
799- ``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT``: This option introduces an infinite loop in BL1. It can
800 take either 0 (no loop) or 1 (add a loop). 0 is the default. This loop stops
801 execution in BL1 just before handing over to BL31. At this point, all
802 firmware images have been loaded in memory, and the MMU and caches are
803 turned off. Refer to the "Debugging options" section for more details.
804
Marc Bonniciabaac162021-12-01 18:00:40 +0000805- ``SPMC_AT_EL3`` : This boolean option is used jointly with the SPM
806 Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``). When enabled (1) it indicates the SPMC
807 component runs at the EL3 exception level. The default value is ``0`` (
808 disabled). This configuration supports pre-Armv8.4 platforms (aka not
809 implementing the ``FEAT_SEL2`` extension). This is an experimental feature.
810
Jayanth Dodderi Chidanand38b461a2022-02-28 23:41:41 +0000811- ``SPMD_SPM_AT_SEL2`` : This boolean option is used jointly with the SPM
Olivier Deprez7efa3f12020-03-26 16:09:21 +0100812 Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``). When enabled (1) it indicates the SPMC
Marc Bonniciabaac162021-12-01 18:00:40 +0000813 component runs at the S-EL2 exception level provided by the ``FEAT_SEL2``
Olivier Deprez7efa3f12020-03-26 16:09:21 +0100814 extension. This is the default when enabling the SPM Dispatcher. When
815 disabled (0) it indicates the SPMC component runs at the S-EL1 execution
Marc Bonniciabaac162021-12-01 18:00:40 +0000816 state or at EL3 if ``SPMC_AT_EL3`` is enabled. The latter configurations
817 support pre-Armv8.4 platforms (aka not implementing the ``FEAT_SEL2``
818 extension).
Olivier Deprez7efa3f12020-03-26 16:09:21 +0100819
Paul Beesleyfe975b42019-09-16 11:29:03 +0000820- ``SPM_MM`` : Boolean option to enable the Management Mode (MM)-based Secure
Olivier Deprez7efa3f12020-03-26 16:09:21 +0100821 Partition Manager (SPM) implementation. The default value is ``0``
822 (disabled). This option cannot be enabled (``1``) when SPM Dispatcher is
823 enabled (``SPD=spmd``).
Paul Beesleyfe975b42019-09-16 11:29:03 +0000824
Manish Pandey3f90ad72020-01-14 11:52:05 +0000825- ``SP_LAYOUT_FILE``: Platform provided path to JSON file containing the
Olivier Deprez7efa3f12020-03-26 16:09:21 +0100826 description of secure partitions. The build system will parse this file and
827 package all secure partition blobs into the FIP. This file is not
828 necessarily part of TF-A tree. Only available when ``SPD=spmd``.
Manish Pandey3f90ad72020-01-14 11:52:05 +0000829
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100830- ``SP_MIN_WITH_SECURE_FIQ``: Boolean flag to indicate the SP_MIN handles
831 secure interrupts (caught through the FIQ line). Platforms can enable
832 this directive if they need to handle such interruption. When enabled,
833 the FIQ are handled in monitor mode and non secure world is not allowed
834 to mask these events. Platforms that enable FIQ handling in SP_MIN shall
835 implement the api ``sp_min_plat_fiq_handler()``. The default value is 0.
836
837- ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT``: Boolean flag to include support for the Trusted Board
838 Boot feature. When set to '1', BL1 and BL2 images include support to load
839 and verify the certificates and images in a FIP, and BL1 includes support
840 for the Firmware Update. The default value is '0'. Generation and inclusion
841 of certificates in the FIP and FWU_FIP depends upon the value of the
842 ``GENERATE_COT`` option.
843
844 .. warning::
845 This option depends on ``CREATE_KEYS`` to be enabled. If the keys
846 already exist in disk, they will be overwritten without further notice.
847
848- ``TRUSTED_WORLD_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It
849 specifies the file that contains the Trusted World private key in PEM
850 format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, this file name will be used to save the key.
851
852- ``TSP_INIT_ASYNC``: Choose BL32 initialization method as asynchronous or
853 synchronous, (see "Initializing a BL32 Image" section in
854 :ref:`Firmware Design`). It can take the value 0 (BL32 is initialized using
855 synchronous method) or 1 (BL32 is initialized using asynchronous method).
856 Default is 0.
857
858- ``TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT``: A non zero value enables the interrupt
859 routing model which routes non-secure interrupts asynchronously from TSP
860 to EL3 causing immediate preemption of TSP. The EL3 is responsible
861 for saving and restoring the TSP context in this routing model. The
862 default routing model (when the value is 0) is to route non-secure
863 interrupts to TSP allowing it to save its context and hand over
864 synchronously to EL3 via an SMC.
865
866 .. note::
867 When ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING`` is ``1``, ``TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT``
868 must also be set to ``1``.
869
Jayanth Dodderi Chidanand4b5489c2022-03-28 15:28:55 +0100870- ``TWED_DELAY``: Numeric value to be set in order to delay the trapping of
871 WFE instruction. ``ENABLE_FEAT_TWED`` build option must be enabled to set
872 this delay. It can take values in the range (0-15). Default value is ``0``
873 and based on this value, 2^(TWED_DELAY + 8) cycles will be delayed.
874 Platforms need to explicitly update this value based on their requirements.
875
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100876- ``USE_ARM_LINK``: This flag determines whether to enable support for ARM
877 linker. When the ``LINKER`` build variable points to the armlink linker,
878 this flag is enabled automatically. To enable support for armlink, platforms
879 will have to provide a scatter file for the BL image. Currently, Tegra
880 platforms use the armlink support to compile BL3-1 images.
881
882- ``USE_COHERENT_MEM``: This flag determines whether to include the coherent
883 memory region in the BL memory map or not (see "Use of Coherent memory in
884 TF-A" section in :ref:`Firmware Design`). It can take the value 1
885 (Coherent memory region is included) or 0 (Coherent memory region is
886 excluded). Default is 1.
887
Ambroise Vincent9660dc12019-07-12 13:47:03 +0100888- ``USE_DEBUGFS``: When set to 1 this option activates an EXPERIMENTAL feature
889 exposing a virtual filesystem interface through BL31 as a SiP SMC function.
890 Default is 0.
891
Louis Mayencourt6b232d92020-02-28 16:57:30 +0000892- ``ARM_IO_IN_DTB``: This flag determines whether to use IO based on the
893 firmware configuration framework. This will move the io_policies into a
Louis Mayencourtbadcac82019-10-24 15:18:46 +0100894 configuration device tree, instead of static structure in the code base.
895
Manish V Badarkhead339892020-06-29 10:32:53 +0100896- ``COT_DESC_IN_DTB``: This flag determines whether to create COT descriptors
897 at runtime using fconf. If this flag is enabled, COT descriptors are
898 statically captured in tb_fw_config file in the form of device tree nodes
899 and properties. Currently, COT descriptors used by BL2 are moved to the
900 device tree and COT descriptors used by BL1 are retained in the code
Manish Pandey34a305e2021-10-21 21:53:49 +0100901 base statically.
Manish V Badarkhead339892020-06-29 10:32:53 +0100902
Balint Dobszayd0dbd5e2019-12-18 15:28:00 +0100903- ``SDEI_IN_FCONF``: This flag determines whether to configure SDEI setup in
904 runtime using firmware configuration framework. The platform specific SDEI
905 shared and private events configuration is retrieved from device tree rather
Manish Pandey34a305e2021-10-21 21:53:49 +0100906 than static C structures at compile time. This is only supported if
907 SDEI_SUPPORT build flag is enabled.
Louis Mayencourtbadcac82019-10-24 15:18:46 +0100908
Madhukar Pappireddy02cc3ff2020-06-02 09:26:30 -0500909- ``SEC_INT_DESC_IN_FCONF``: This flag determines whether to configure Group 0
910 and Group1 secure interrupts using the firmware configuration framework. The
911 platform specific secure interrupt property descriptor is retrieved from
912 device tree in runtime rather than depending on static C structure at compile
Manish Pandey34a305e2021-10-21 21:53:49 +0100913 time.
Madhukar Pappireddy02cc3ff2020-06-02 09:26:30 -0500914
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100915- ``USE_ROMLIB``: This flag determines whether library at ROM will be used.
916 This feature creates a library of functions to be placed in ROM and thus
917 reduces SRAM usage. Refer to :ref:`Library at ROM` for further details. Default
918 is 0.
919
920- ``V``: Verbose build. If assigned anything other than 0, the build commands
921 are printed. Default is 0.
922
923- ``VERSION_STRING``: String used in the log output for each TF-A image.
924 Defaults to a string formed by concatenating the version number, build type
925 and build string.
926
927- ``W``: Warning level. Some compiler warning options of interest have been
928 regrouped and put in the root Makefile. This flag can take the values 0 to 3,
929 each level enabling more warning options. Default is 0.
930
931- ``WARMBOOT_ENABLE_DCACHE_EARLY`` : Boolean option to enable D-cache early on
932 the CPU after warm boot. This is applicable for platforms which do not
933 require interconnect programming to enable cache coherency (eg: single
934 cluster platforms). If this option is enabled, then warm boot path
935 enables D-caches immediately after enabling MMU. This option defaults to 0.
936
Manish V Badarkhe75c972a2020-03-22 05:06:38 +0000937- ``SUPPORT_STACK_MEMTAG``: This flag determines whether to enable memory
938 tagging for stack or not. It accepts 2 values: ``yes`` and ``no``. The
939 default value of this flag is ``no``. Note this option must be enabled only
940 for ARM architecture greater than Armv8.5-A.
941
Manish V Badarkhea59fa012020-07-31 08:38:49 +0100942- ``ERRATA_SPECULATIVE_AT``: This flag determines whether to enable ``AT``
943 speculative errata workaround or not. It accepts 2 values: ``1`` and ``0``.
944 The default value of this flag is ``0``.
945
946 ``AT`` speculative errata workaround disables stage1 page table walk for
947 lower ELs (EL1 and EL0) in EL3 so that ``AT`` speculative fetch at any point
948 produces either the correct result or failure without TLB allocation.
Manish V Badarkhe2801ed42020-04-28 04:53:32 +0100949
950 This boolean option enables errata for all below CPUs.

965
966 .. note::
967 This option is enabled by build only if platform sets any of above defines
968 mentioned in ’Workaround Define' column in the table.
969 If this option is enabled for the EL3 software then EL2 software also must
970 implement this workaround due to the behaviour of the errata mentioned
971 in new SDEN document which will get published soon.
Manish V Badarkhe2801ed42020-04-28 04:53:32 +0100972
Varun Wadekar92234852020-06-12 10:11:28 -0700973- ``RAS_TRAP_LOWER_EL_ERR_ACCESS``: This flag enables/disables the SCR_EL3.TERR
974 bit, to trap access to the RAS ERR and RAS ERX registers from lower ELs.
975 This flag is disabled by default.
976
Manish V Badarkhe3589b702020-07-29 10:58:44 +0100977- ``OPENSSL_DIR``: This flag is used to provide the installed openssl directory
978 path on the host machine which is used to build certificate generation and
979 firmware encryption tool.
980
Madhukar Pappireddy7a554a12020-08-12 13:18:19 -0500981- ``USE_SP804_TIMER``: Use the SP804 timer instead of the Generic Timer for
982 functions that wait for an arbitrary time length (udelay and mdelay). The
983 default value is 0.
984
johpow0181865962022-01-28 17:06:20 -0600985- ``ENABLE_BRBE_FOR_NS``: This flag enables access to the branch record buffer
986 registers from NS ELs when FEAT_BRBE is implemented. BRBE is an optional
987 architectural feature for AArch64. The default is 0 and it is automatically
988 disabled when the target architecture is AArch32.
989
Manish V Badarkhe20df29c2021-07-02 09:10:56 +0100990- ``ENABLE_TRBE_FOR_NS``: This flag is used to enable access of trace buffer
991 control registers from NS ELs, NS-EL2 or NS-EL1(when NS-EL2 is implemented
992 but unused) when FEAT_TRBE is implemented. TRBE is an optional architectural
993 feature for AArch64. The default is 0 and it is automatically disabled when
994 the target architecture is AArch32.
995
Manish V Badarkhef356f7e2021-06-29 11:44:20 +0100996- ``ENABLE_SYS_REG_TRACE_FOR_NS``: Boolean option to enable trace system
997 registers access from NS ELs, NS-EL2 or NS-EL1 (when NS-EL2 is implemented
998 but unused). This feature is available if trace unit such as ETMv4.x, and
999 ETE(extending ETM feature) is implemented. This flag is disabled by default.

Alexei Fedorov84f1b5d2020-03-23 18:45:17 +00001011GICv3 driver options
1012--------------------
1013
1014GICv3 driver files are included using directive:
1015
1016``include drivers/arm/gic/v3/gicv3.mk``
1017
1018The driver can be configured with the following options set in the platform
1019makefile:
1020
Andre Przywarae1cc1302020-03-25 15:50:38 +00001021- ``GICV3_SUPPORT_GIC600``: Add support for the GIC-600 variants of GICv3.
1022 Enabling this option will add runtime detection support for the
1023 GIC-600, so is safe to select even for a GIC500 implementation.
1024 This option defaults to 0.
Alexei Fedorov84f1b5d2020-03-23 18:45:17 +00001025
Varun Wadekareea6dc12021-05-04 16:14:09 -07001026- ``GICV3_SUPPORT_GIC600AE_FMU``: Add support for the Fault Management Unit
1027 for GIC-600 AE. Enabling this option will introduce support to initialize
1028 the FMU. Platforms should call the init function during boot to enable the
1029 FMU and its safety mechanisms. This option defaults to 0.
1030
Alexei Fedorov84f1b5d2020-03-23 18:45:17 +00001031- ``GICV3_IMPL_GIC600_MULTICHIP``: Selects GIC-600 variant with multichip
1032 functionality. This option defaults to 0
1033
1034- ``GICV3_OVERRIDE_DISTIF_PWR_OPS``: Allows override of default implementation
1035 of ``arm_gicv3_distif_pre_save`` and ``arm_gicv3_distif_post_restore``
1036 functions. This is required for FVP platform which need to simulate GIC save
1037 and restore during SYSTEM_SUSPEND without powering down GIC. Default is 0.
1038
Alexei Fedorov19705932020-04-06 19:00:35 +01001039- ``GIC_ENABLE_V4_EXTN`` : Enables GICv4 related changes in GICv3 driver.
1040 This option defaults to 0.
1041
Alexei Fedorova6e6ae02020-04-06 16:27:54 +01001042- ``GIC_EXT_INTID``: When set to ``1``, GICv3 driver will support extended
1043 PPI (1056-1119) and SPI (4096-5119) range. This option defaults to 0.
1044
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +01001045Debugging options
1046-----------------
1047
1048To compile a debug version and make the build more verbose use
1049
1050.. code:: shell
1051
1052 make PLAT=<platform> DEBUG=1 V=1 all
1053
1054AArch64 GCC uses DWARF version 4 debugging symbols by default. Some tools (for
1055example DS-5) might not support this and may need an older version of DWARF
1056symbols to be emitted by GCC. This can be achieved by using the
1057``-gdwarf-<version>`` flag, with the version being set to 2 or 3. Setting the
1058version to 2 is recommended for DS-5 versions older than 5.16.
1059
1060When debugging logic problems it might also be useful to disable all compiler
1061optimizations by using ``-O0``.
1062
1063.. warning::
1064 Using ``-O0`` could cause output images to be larger and base addresses
1065 might need to be recalculated (see the **Memory layout on Arm development
1066 platforms** section in the :ref:`Firmware Design`).
1067
1068Extra debug options can be passed to the build system by setting ``CFLAGS`` or
1069``LDFLAGS``:
1070
1071.. code:: shell
1072
1073 CFLAGS='-O0 -gdwarf-2' \
1074 make PLAT=<platform> DEBUG=1 V=1 all
1075
1076Note that using ``-Wl,`` style compilation driver options in ``CFLAGS`` will be
1077ignored as the linker is called directly.
1078
1079It is also possible to introduce an infinite loop to help in debugging the
1080post-BL2 phase of TF-A. This can be done by rebuilding BL1 with the
1081``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT=1`` build flag. Refer to the :ref:`build_options_common`
1082section. In this case, the developer may take control of the target using a
1083debugger when indicated by the console output. When using DS-5, the following
1084commands can be used:
1085
1086::
1087
1088 # Stop target execution
1089 interrupt
1090
1091 #
1092 # Prepare your debugging environment, e.g. set breakpoints
1093 #
1094
1095 # Jump over the debug loop
1096 set var $AARCH64::$Core::$PC = $AARCH64::$Core::$PC + 4
1097
1098 # Resume execution
1099 continue

Manish V Badarkhe5c101ae2021-03-16 11:14:19 +00001101Firmware update options
1102-----------------------
1103
1104- ``NR_OF_FW_BANKS``: Define the number of firmware banks. This flag is used
1105 in defining the firmware update metadata structure. This flag is by default
1106 set to '2'.
1107
1108- ``NR_OF_IMAGES_IN_FW_BANK``: Define the number of firmware images in each
1109 firmware bank. Each firmware bank must have the same number of images as per
1110 the `PSA FW update specification`_.
1111 This flag is used in defining the firmware update metadata structure. This
1112 flag is by default set to '1'.
1113
Manish V Badarkheda87af12021-06-20 21:14:46 +01001114- ``PSA_FWU_SUPPORT``: Enable the firmware update mechanism as per the
1115 `PSA FW update specification`_. The default value is 0, and this is an
1116 experimental feature.
1117 PSA firmware update implementation has some limitations, such as BL2 is
1118 not part of the protocol-updatable images, if BL2 needs to be updated, then
1119 it should be done through another platform-defined mechanism, and it assumes
1120 that the platform's hardware supports CRC32 instructions.
