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
25- ``ARCH`` : Choose the target build architecture for TF-A. It can take either
26 ``aarch64`` or ``aarch32`` as values. By default, it is defined to
27 ``aarch64``.
28
29- ``ARM_ARCH_MAJOR``: The major version of Arm Architecture to target when
30 compiling TF-A. Its value must be numeric, and defaults to 8 . See also,
31 *Armv8 Architecture Extensions* and *Armv7 Architecture Extensions* in
32 :ref:`Firmware Design`.
33
34- ``ARM_ARCH_MINOR``: The minor version of Arm Architecture to target when
35 compiling TF-A. Its value must be a numeric, and defaults to 0. See also,
36 *Armv8 Architecture Extensions* in :ref:`Firmware Design`.
37
38- ``BL2``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to BL2
39 image for the ``fip`` target. In this case, the BL2 in the TF-A will not be
40 built.
41
42- ``BL2U``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to
43 BL2U image. In this case, the BL2U in TF-A will not be built.
44
45- ``BL2_AT_EL3``: This is an optional build option that enables the use of
46 BL2 at EL3 execution level.
47
48- ``BL2_IN_XIP_MEM``: In some use-cases BL2 will be stored in eXecute In Place
49 (XIP) memory, like BL1. In these use-cases, it is necessary to initialize
50 the RW sections in RAM, while leaving the RO sections in place. This option
51 enable this use-case. For now, this option is only supported when BL2_AT_EL3
52 is set to '1'.
53
54- ``BL31``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to
55 BL31 image for the ``fip`` target. In this case, the BL31 in TF-A will not
56 be built.
57
58- ``BL31_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies the
59 file that contains the BL31 private key in PEM format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``,
60 this file name will be used to save the key.
61
62- ``BL32``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to
63 BL32 image for the ``fip`` target. In this case, the BL32 in TF-A will not
64 be built.
65
66- ``BL32_EXTRA1``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to
67 Trusted OS Extra1 image for the ``fip`` target.
68
69- ``BL32_EXTRA2``: This is an optional build option which specifies the path to
70 Trusted OS Extra2 image for the ``fip`` target.
71
72- ``BL32_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies the
73 file that contains the BL32 private key in PEM format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``,
74 this file name will be used to save the key.
75
76- ``BL33``: Path to BL33 image in the host file system. This is mandatory for
77 ``fip`` target in case TF-A BL2 is used.
78
79- ``BL33_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies the
80 file that contains the BL33 private key in PEM format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``,
81 this file name will be used to save the key.
82
83- ``BRANCH_PROTECTION``: Numeric value to enable ARMv8.3 Pointer Authentication
84 and ARMv8.5 Branch Target Identification support for TF-A BL images themselves.
85 If enabled, it is needed to use a compiler that supports the option
86 ``-mbranch-protection``. Selects the branch protection features to use:
87- 0: Default value turns off all types of branch protection
88- 1: Enables all types of branch protection features
89- 2: Return address signing to its standard level
90- 3: Extend the signing to include leaf functions
Alexei Fedorove039e482020-06-19 14:33:49 +010091- 4: Turn on branch target identification mechanism
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +010092
93 The table below summarizes ``BRANCH_PROTECTION`` values, GCC compilation options
94 and resulting PAuth/BTI features.
95
96 +-------+--------------+-------+-----+
97 | Value | GCC option | PAuth | BTI |
98 +=======+==============+=======+=====+
99 | 0 | none | N | N |

108 +-------+--------------+-------+-----+
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100109
110 This option defaults to 0 and this is an experimental feature.
111 Note that Pointer Authentication is enabled for Non-secure world
112 irrespective of the value of this option if the CPU supports it.
113
114- ``BUILD_MESSAGE_TIMESTAMP``: String used to identify the time and date of the
115 compilation of each build. It must be set to a C string (including quotes
116 where applicable). Defaults to a string that contains the time and date of
117 the compilation.
118
119- ``BUILD_STRING``: Input string for VERSION_STRING, which allows the TF-A
120 build to be uniquely identified. Defaults to the current git commit id.
121
Grant Likely388248a2020-07-30 08:50:10 +0100122- ``BUILD_BASE``: Output directory for the build. Defaults to ``./build``
123
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100124- ``CFLAGS``: Extra user options appended on the compiler's command line in
125 addition to the options set by the build system.
126
127- ``COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU``: This option indicates whether the platform may
128 release several CPUs out of reset. It can take either 0 (several CPUs may be
129 brought up) or 1 (only one CPU will ever be brought up during cold reset).
130 Default is 0. If the platform always brings up a single CPU, there is no
131 need to distinguish between primary and secondary CPUs and the boot path can
132 be optimised. The ``plat_is_my_cpu_primary()`` and
133 ``plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup()`` platform porting interfaces do not need
134 to be implemented in this case.
135
Sandrine Bailleuxd4c1d442020-01-15 10:23:25 +0100136- ``COT``: When Trusted Boot is enabled, selects the desired chain of trust.
137 Defaults to ``tbbr``.
138
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100139- ``CRASH_REPORTING``: A non-zero value enables a console dump of processor
140 register state when an unexpected exception occurs during execution of
141 BL31. This option defaults to the value of ``DEBUG`` - i.e. by default
142 this is only enabled for a debug build of the firmware.
143
144- ``CREATE_KEYS``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It tells the
145 certificate generation tool to create new keys in case no valid keys are
146 present or specified. Allowed options are '0' or '1'. Default is '1'.
147
148- ``CTX_INCLUDE_AARCH32_REGS`` : Boolean option that, when set to 1, will cause
149 the AArch32 system registers to be included when saving and restoring the
150 CPU context. The option must be set to 0 for AArch64-only platforms (that
151 is on hardware that does not implement AArch32, or at least not at EL1 and
152 higher ELs). Default value is 1.
153
Olivier Deprez7efa3f12020-03-26 16:09:21 +0100154- ``CTX_INCLUDE_EL2_REGS`` : This boolean option provides context save/restore
155 operations when entering/exiting an EL2 execution context. This is of primary
156 interest when Armv8.4-SecEL2 extension is implemented. Default is 0 (disabled).
157 This option must be equal to 1 (enabled) when ``SPD=spmd`` and
158 ``SPMD_SPM_AT_SEL2`` is set.
159
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100160- ``CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS``: Boolean option that, when set to 1, will cause the FP
161 registers to be included when saving and restoring the CPU context. Default
162 is 0.
163
164- ``CTX_INCLUDE_PAUTH_REGS``: Boolean option that, when set to 1, enables
165 Pointer Authentication for Secure world. This will cause the ARMv8.3-PAuth
166 registers to be included when saving and restoring the CPU context as
167 part of world switch. Default value is 0 and this is an experimental feature.
168 Note that Pointer Authentication is enabled for Non-secure world irrespective
169 of the value of this flag if the CPU supports it.
170
171- ``DEBUG``: Chooses between a debug and release build. It can take either 0
172 (release) or 1 (debug) as values. 0 is the default.
173
Sumit Garg392e4df2019-11-15 10:43:00 +0530174- ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT``: This build flag enables the user to select the
175 authenticated decryption algorithm to be used to decrypt firmware/s during
176 boot. It accepts 2 values: ``aes_gcm`` and ``none``. The default value of
177 this flag is ``none`` to disable firmware decryption which is an optional
178 feature as per TBBR. Also, it is an experimental feature.
179
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100180- ``DISABLE_BIN_GENERATION``: Boolean option to disable the generation
181 of the binary image. If set to 1, then only the ELF image is built.
182 0 is the default.
183
184- ``DYN_DISABLE_AUTH``: Provides the capability to dynamically disable Trusted
185 Board Boot authentication at runtime. This option is meant to be enabled only
186 for development platforms. ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` flag must be set if this
187 flag has to be enabled. 0 is the default.
188
189- ``E``: Boolean option to make warnings into errors. Default is 1.
190
191- ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE``: This option enables booting an EL3 payload instead of
192 the normal boot flow. It must specify the entry point address of the EL3
193 payload. Please refer to the "Booting an EL3 payload" section for more
194 details.
195
196- ``ENABLE_AMU``: Boolean option to enable Activity Monitor Unit extensions.
197 This is an optional architectural feature available on v8.4 onwards. Some
198 v8.2 implementations also implement an AMU and this option can be used to
199 enable this feature on those systems as well. Default is 0.
200
201- ``ENABLE_ASSERTIONS``: This option controls whether or not calls to ``assert()``
202 are compiled out. For debug builds, this option defaults to 1, and calls to
203 ``assert()`` are left in place. For release builds, this option defaults to 0
204 and calls to ``assert()`` function are compiled out. This option can be set
205 independently of ``DEBUG``. It can also be used to hide any auxiliary code
206 that is only required for the assertion and does not fit in the assertion
207 itself.
208
Alexei Fedorovb8f26e92020-02-06 17:11:03 +0000209- ``ENABLE_BACKTRACE``: This option controls whether to enable backtrace
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100210 dumps or not. It is supported in both AArch64 and AArch32. However, in
211 AArch32 the format of the frame records are not defined in the AAPCS and they
212 are defined by the implementation. This implementation of backtrace only
213 supports the format used by GCC when T32 interworking is disabled. For this
214 reason enabling this option in AArch32 will force the compiler to only
215 generate A32 code. This option is enabled by default only in AArch64 debug
216 builds, but this behaviour can be overridden in each platform's Makefile or
217 in the build command line.
218
Sandrine Bailleux11427302019-12-17 09:38:08 +0100219- ``ENABLE_LTO``: Boolean option to enable Link Time Optimization (LTO)
zelalem-aweked5f45272019-11-12 16:20:17 -0600220 support in GCC for TF-A. This option is currently only supported for
221 AArch64. Default is 0.
222
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100223- ``ENABLE_MPAM_FOR_LOWER_ELS``: Boolean option to enable lower ELs to use MPAM
224 feature. MPAM is an optional Armv8.4 extension that enables various memory
225 system components and resources to define partitions; software running at
226 various ELs can assign themselves to desired partition to control their
227 performance aspects.
228
229 When this option is set to ``1``, EL3 allows lower ELs to access their own
230 MPAM registers without trapping into EL3. This option doesn't make use of
231 partitioning in EL3, however. Platform initialisation code should configure
232 and use partitions in EL3 as required. This option defaults to ``0``.
233
234- ``ENABLE_PIE``: Boolean option to enable Position Independent Executable(PIE)
235 support within generic code in TF-A. This option is currently only supported
Masahiro Yamadade634f82020-01-17 13:45:14 +0900236 in BL2_AT_EL3, BL31, and BL32 (TSP). Default is 0.
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100237
238- ``ENABLE_PMF``: Boolean option to enable support for optional Performance
239 Measurement Framework(PMF). Default is 0.
240
241- ``ENABLE_PSCI_STAT``: Boolean option to enable support for optional PSCI
242 functions ``PSCI_STAT_RESIDENCY`` and ``PSCI_STAT_COUNT``. Default is 0.
243 In the absence of an alternate stat collection backend, ``ENABLE_PMF`` must
244 be enabled. If ``ENABLE_PMF`` is set, the residency statistics are tracked in
245 software.
246
247- ``ENABLE_RUNTIME_INSTRUMENTATION``: Boolean option to enable runtime
248 instrumentation which injects timestamp collection points into TF-A to
249 allow runtime performance to be measured. Currently, only PSCI is
250 instrumented. Enabling this option enables the ``ENABLE_PMF`` build option
251 as well. Default is 0.
252
253- ``ENABLE_SPE_FOR_LOWER_ELS`` : Boolean option to enable Statistical Profiling
254 extensions. This is an optional architectural feature for AArch64.
255 The default is 1 but is automatically disabled when the target architecture
256 is AArch32.
257
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100258- ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS``: Boolean option to enable Scalable Vector Extension
259 (SVE) for the Non-secure world only. SVE is an optional architectural feature
260 for AArch64. Note that when SVE is enabled for the Non-secure world, access
261 to SIMD and floating-point functionality from the Secure world is disabled.
262 This is to avoid corruption of the Non-secure world data in the Z-registers
263 which are aliased by the SIMD and FP registers. The build option is not
264 compatible with the ``CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS`` build option, and will raise an
265 assert on platforms where SVE is implemented and ``ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS`` set to
266 1. The default is 1 but is automatically disabled when the target
267 architecture is AArch32.
268
269- ``ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR``: String option to enable the stack protection
270 checks in GCC. Allowed values are "all", "strong", "default" and "none". The
271 default value is set to "none". "strong" is the recommended stack protection
272 level if this feature is desired. "none" disables the stack protection. For
273 all values other than "none", the ``plat_get_stack_protector_canary()``
274 platform hook needs to be implemented. The value is passed as the last
275 component of the option ``-fstack-protector-$ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR``.
276
Sumit Gargc0c369c2019-11-15 18:47:53 +0530277- ``ENCRYPT_BL31``: Binary flag to enable encryption of BL31 firmware. This
278 flag depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag which is marked as
279 experimental.
280
281- ``ENCRYPT_BL32``: Binary flag to enable encryption of Secure BL32 payload.
282 This flag depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag which is marked as
283 experimental.
284
285- ``ENC_KEY``: A 32-byte (256-bit) symmetric key in hex string format. It could
286 either be SSK or BSSK depending on ``FW_ENC_STATUS`` flag. This value depends
287 on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag which is marked as experimental.
288
289- ``ENC_NONCE``: A 12-byte (96-bit) encryption nonce or Initialization Vector
290 (IV) in hex string format. This value depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT``
291 build flag which is marked as experimental.
292
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100293- ``ERROR_DEPRECATED``: This option decides whether to treat the usage of
294 deprecated platform APIs, helper functions or drivers within Trusted
295 Firmware as error. It can take the value 1 (flag the use of deprecated
296 APIs as error) or 0. The default is 0.
297
298- ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING``: When set to ``1``, enable handling of exceptions
299 targeted at EL3. When set ``0`` (default), no exceptions are expected or
300 handled at EL3, and a panic will result. This is supported only for AArch64
301 builds.
302
303- ``FAULT_INJECTION_SUPPORT``: ARMv8.4 extensions introduced support for fault
304 injection from lower ELs, and this build option enables lower ELs to use
305 Error Records accessed via System Registers to inject faults. This is
306 applicable only to AArch64 builds.
307
308 This feature is intended for testing purposes only, and is advisable to keep
309 disabled for production images.
310
311- ``FIP_NAME``: This is an optional build option which specifies the FIP
312 filename for the ``fip`` target. Default is ``fip.bin``.
313
314- ``FWU_FIP_NAME``: This is an optional build option which specifies the FWU
315 FIP filename for the ``fwu_fip`` target. Default is ``fwu_fip.bin``.
316
Sumit Gargc0c369c2019-11-15 18:47:53 +0530317- ``FW_ENC_STATUS``: Top level firmware's encryption numeric flag, values:
318
319 ::
320
321 0: Encryption is done with Secret Symmetric Key (SSK) which is common
322 for a class of devices.
323 1: Encryption is done with Binding Secret Symmetric Key (BSSK) which is
324 unique per device.
325
326 This flag depends on ``DECRYPTION_SUPPORT`` build flag which is marked as
327 experimental.
328
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100329- ``GENERATE_COT``: Boolean flag used to build and execute the ``cert_create``
330 tool to create certificates as per the Chain of Trust described in
331 :ref:`Trusted Board Boot`. The build system then calls ``fiptool`` to
332 include the certificates in the FIP and FWU_FIP. Default value is '0'.
333
334 Specify both ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1`` and ``GENERATE_COT=1`` to include support
335 for the Trusted Board Boot feature in the BL1 and BL2 images, to generate
336 the corresponding certificates, and to include those certificates in the
337 FIP and FWU_FIP.
338
339 Note that if ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=0`` and ``GENERATE_COT=1``, the BL1 and BL2
340 images will not include support for Trusted Board Boot. The FIP will still
341 include the corresponding certificates. This FIP can be used to verify the
342 Chain of Trust on the host machine through other mechanisms.
343
344 Note that if ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1`` and ``GENERATE_COT=0``, the BL1 and BL2
345 images will include support for Trusted Board Boot, but the FIP and FWU_FIP
346 will not include the corresponding certificates, causing a boot failure.
347
348- ``GICV2_G0_FOR_EL3``: Unlike GICv3, the GICv2 architecture doesn't have
349 inherent support for specific EL3 type interrupts. Setting this build option
350 to ``1`` assumes GICv2 *Group 0* interrupts are expected to target EL3, both
Madhukar Pappireddy86350ae2020-07-29 09:37:25 -0500351 by :ref:`platform abstraction layer<platform Interrupt Controller API>` and
352 :ref:`Interrupt Management Framework<Interrupt Management Framework>`.
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100353 This allows GICv2 platforms to enable features requiring EL3 interrupt type.
354 This also means that all GICv2 Group 0 interrupts are delivered to EL3, and
355 the Secure Payload interrupts needs to be synchronously handed over to Secure
356 EL1 for handling. The default value of this option is ``0``, which means the
357 Group 0 interrupts are assumed to be handled by Secure EL1.
358
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100359- ``HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST``: When set to ``1``, External Aborts and SError
360 Interrupts will be always trapped in EL3 i.e. in BL31 at runtime. When set to
361 ``0`` (default), these exceptions will be trapped in the current exception
362 level (or in EL1 if the current exception level is EL0).
363
364- ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY``: On most Arm systems to-date, platform-specific
365 software operations are required for CPUs to enter and exit coherency.
366 However, newer systems exist where CPUs' entry to and exit from coherency
367 is managed in hardware. Such systems require software to only initiate these
368 operations, and the rest is managed in hardware, minimizing active software
369 management. In such systems, this boolean option enables TF-A to carry out
370 build and run-time optimizations during boot and power management operations.
371 This option defaults to 0 and if it is enabled, then it implies
372 ``WARMBOOT_ENABLE_DCACHE_EARLY`` is also enabled.
373
374 If this flag is disabled while the platform which TF-A is compiled for
375 includes cores that manage coherency in hardware, then a compilation error is
376 generated. This is based on the fact that a system cannot have, at the same
377 time, cores that manage coherency in hardware and cores that don't. In other
378 words, a platform cannot have, at the same time, cores that require
379 ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY=1`` and cores that require
380 ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY=0``.
381
382 Note that, when ``HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY`` is enabled, version 2 of
383 translation library (xlat tables v2) must be used; version 1 of translation
384 library is not supported.
385
Louis Mayencourtc1c2bf72020-02-13 08:21:34 +0000386- ``INVERTED_MEMMAP``: memmap tool print by default lower addresses at the
387 bottom, higher addresses at the top. This buid flag can be set to '1' to
388 invert this behavior. Lower addresses will be printed at the top and higher
389 addresses at the bottom.
390
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100391- ``JUNO_AARCH32_EL3_RUNTIME``: This build flag enables you to execute EL3
392 runtime software in AArch32 mode, which is required to run AArch32 on Juno.
393 By default this flag is set to '0'. Enabling this flag builds BL1 and BL2 in
394 AArch64 and facilitates the loading of ``SP_MIN`` and BL33 as AArch32 executable
395 images.
396
397- ``KEY_ALG``: This build flag enables the user to select the algorithm to be
398 used for generating the PKCS keys and subsequent signing of the certificate.
399 It accepts 3 values: ``rsa``, ``rsa_1_5`` and ``ecdsa``. The option
400 ``rsa_1_5`` is the legacy PKCS#1 RSA 1.5 algorithm which is not TBBR
401 compliant and is retained only for compatibility. The default value of this
402 flag is ``rsa`` which is the TBBR compliant PKCS#1 RSA 2.1 scheme.
403
Gilad Ben-Yossefa6e53422019-09-15 13:29:29 +0300404- ``KEY_SIZE``: This build flag enables the user to select the key size for
405 the algorithm specified by ``KEY_ALG``. The valid values for ``KEY_SIZE``
406 depend on the chosen algorithm and the cryptographic module.
407
408 +-----------+------------------------------------+
409 | KEY_ALG | Possible key sizes |
410 +===========+====================================+
411 | rsa | 1024 , 2048 (default), 3072, 4096* |
412 +-----------+------------------------------------+
413 | ecdsa | unavailable |
414 +-----------+------------------------------------+
415
416 * Only 2048 bits size is available with CryptoCell 712 SBROM release 1.
417 Only 3072 bits size is available with CryptoCell 712 SBROM release 2.
418
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100419- ``HASH_ALG``: This build flag enables the user to select the secure hash
420 algorithm. It accepts 3 values: ``sha256``, ``sha384`` and ``sha512``.
421 The default value of this flag is ``sha256``.
422
423- ``LDFLAGS``: Extra user options appended to the linkers' command line in
424 addition to the one set by the build system.
425
426- ``LOG_LEVEL``: Chooses the log level, which controls the amount of console log
427 output compiled into the build. This should be one of the following:
428
429 ::
430
431 0 (LOG_LEVEL_NONE)
432 10 (LOG_LEVEL_ERROR)
433 20 (LOG_LEVEL_NOTICE)
434 30 (LOG_LEVEL_WARNING)
435 40 (LOG_LEVEL_INFO)
436 50 (LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE)
437
438 All log output up to and including the selected log level is compiled into
439 the build. The default value is 40 in debug builds and 20 in release builds.
440
Alexei Fedorov913cb7e2020-01-23 14:27:38 +0000441- ``MEASURED_BOOT``: Boolean flag to include support for the Measured Boot
442 feature. If this flag is enabled ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT`` must be set.
443 This option defaults to 0 and is an experimental feature in the stage of
444 development.
445
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100446- ``NON_TRUSTED_WORLD_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It
447 specifies the file that contains the Non-Trusted World private key in PEM
448 format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, this file name will be used to save the key.
449
450- ``NS_BL2U``: Path to NS_BL2U image in the host file system. This image is
451 optional. It is only needed if the platform makefile specifies that it
452 is required in order to build the ``fwu_fip`` target.
453
454- ``NS_TIMER_SWITCH``: Enable save and restore for non-secure timer register
455 contents upon world switch. It can take either 0 (don't save and restore) or
456 1 (do save and restore). 0 is the default. An SPD may set this to 1 if it
457 wants the timer registers to be saved and restored.
458
459- ``OVERRIDE_LIBC``: This option allows platforms to override the default libc
460 for the BL image. It can be either 0 (include) or 1 (remove). The default
461 value is 0.
462
463- ``PL011_GENERIC_UART``: Boolean option to indicate the PL011 driver that
464 the underlying hardware is not a full PL011 UART but a minimally compliant
465 generic UART, which is a subset of the PL011. The driver will not access
466 any register that is not part of the SBSA generic UART specification.
467 Default value is 0 (a full PL011 compliant UART is present).
468
469- ``PLAT``: Choose a platform to build TF-A for. The chosen platform name
470 must be subdirectory of any depth under ``plat/``, and must contain a
471 platform makefile named ``platform.mk``. For example, to build TF-A for the
472 Arm Juno board, select PLAT=juno.
473
474- ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE``: This option enables booting a preloaded BL33 image
475 instead of the normal boot flow. When defined, it must specify the entry
476 point address for the preloaded BL33 image. This option is incompatible with
477 ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE``. If both are defined, ``EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE`` has priority
478 over ``PRELOADED_BL33_BASE``.
479
480- ``PROGRAMMABLE_RESET_ADDRESS``: This option indicates whether the reset
481 vector address can be programmed or is fixed on the platform. It can take
482 either 0 (fixed) or 1 (programmable). Default is 0. If the platform has a
483 programmable reset address, it is expected that a CPU will start executing
484 code directly at the right address, both on a cold and warm reset. In this
485 case, there is no need to identify the entrypoint on boot and the boot path
486 can be optimised. The ``plat_get_my_entrypoint()`` platform porting interface
487 does not need to be implemented in this case.
488
489- ``PSCI_EXTENDED_STATE_ID``: As per PSCI1.0 Specification, there are 2 formats
490 possible for the PSCI power-state parameter: original and extended State-ID
491 formats. This flag if set to 1, configures the generic PSCI layer to use the
492 extended format. The default value of this flag is 0, which means by default
493 the original power-state format is used by the PSCI implementation. This flag
494 should be specified by the platform makefile and it governs the return value
495 of PSCI_FEATURES API for CPU_SUSPEND smc function id. When this option is
496 enabled on Arm platforms, the option ``ARM_RECOM_STATE_ID_ENC`` needs to be
497 set to 1 as well.
498
499- ``RAS_EXTENSION``: When set to ``1``, enable Armv8.2 RAS features. RAS features
500 are an optional extension for pre-Armv8.2 CPUs, but are mandatory for Armv8.2
501 or later CPUs.
502
503 When ``RAS_EXTENSION`` is set to ``1``, ``HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST`` must also be
504 set to ``1``.
505
506 This option is disabled by default.
507
508- ``RESET_TO_BL31``: Enable BL31 entrypoint as the CPU reset vector instead
509 of the BL1 entrypoint. It can take the value 0 (CPU reset to BL1
510 entrypoint) or 1 (CPU reset to BL31 entrypoint).
511 The default value is 0.
512
513- ``RESET_TO_SP_MIN``: SP_MIN is the minimal AArch32 Secure Payload provided
514 in TF-A. This flag configures SP_MIN entrypoint as the CPU reset vector
515 instead of the BL1 entrypoint. It can take the value 0 (CPU reset to BL1
516 entrypoint) or 1 (CPU reset to SP_MIN entrypoint). The default value is 0.
517
518- ``ROT_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies the
Max Shvetsov06dba292019-12-06 11:50:12 +0000519 file that contains the ROT private key in PEM format and enforces public key
520 hash generation. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, this
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100521 file name will be used to save the key.
522
523- ``SAVE_KEYS``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It tells the
524 certificate generation tool to save the keys used to establish the Chain of
525 Trust. Allowed options are '0' or '1'. Default is '0' (do not save).
526
527- ``SCP_BL2``: Path to SCP_BL2 image in the host file system. This image is optional.
528 If a SCP_BL2 image is present then this option must be passed for the ``fip``
529 target.
530
531- ``SCP_BL2_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It specifies the
532 file that contains the SCP_BL2 private key in PEM format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``,
533 this file name will be used to save the key.
534
535- ``SCP_BL2U``: Path to SCP_BL2U image in the host file system. This image is
536 optional. It is only needed if the platform makefile specifies that it
537 is required in order to build the ``fwu_fip`` target.
538
539- ``SDEI_SUPPORT``: Setting this to ``1`` enables support for Software
540 Delegated Exception Interface to BL31 image. This defaults to ``0``.
541
542 When set to ``1``, the build option ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING`` must also be
543 set to ``1``.
544
545- ``SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA``: Whether code and read-only data should be
546 isolated on separate memory pages. This is a trade-off between security and
547 memory usage. See "Isolating code and read-only data on separate memory
Olivier Deprez7efa3f12020-03-26 16:09:21 +0100548 pages" section in :ref:`Firmware Design`. This flag is disabled by default
549 and affects all BL images.
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100550
Samuel Holland31a14e12018-10-17 21:40:18 -0500551- ``SEPARATE_NOBITS_REGION``: Setting this option to ``1`` allows the NOBITS
552 sections of BL31 (.bss, stacks, page tables, and coherent memory) to be
553 allocated in RAM discontiguous from the loaded firmware image. When set, the
554 platform is expected to provide definitons for ``BL31_NOBITS_BASE`` and
555 ``BL31_NOBITS_LIMIT``. When the option is ``0`` (the default), NOBITS
556 sections are placed in RAM immediately following the loaded firmware image.
557
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100558- ``SPD``: Choose a Secure Payload Dispatcher component to be built into TF-A.
559 This build option is only valid if ``ARCH=aarch64``. The value should be
560 the path to the directory containing the SPD source, relative to
561 ``services/spd/``; the directory is expected to contain a makefile called
Olivier Deprez7efa3f12020-03-26 16:09:21 +0100562 ``<spd-value>.mk``. The SPM Dispatcher standard service is located in
563 services/std_svc/spmd and enabled by ``SPD=spmd``. The SPM Dispatcher
564 cannot be enabled when the ``SPM_MM`` option is enabled.
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100565
566- ``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT``: This option introduces an infinite loop in BL1. It can
567 take either 0 (no loop) or 1 (add a loop). 0 is the default. This loop stops
568 execution in BL1 just before handing over to BL31. At this point, all
569 firmware images have been loaded in memory, and the MMU and caches are
570 turned off. Refer to the "Debugging options" section for more details.
571
Olivier Deprez7efa3f12020-03-26 16:09:21 +0100572- ``SPMD_SPM_AT_SEL2`` : this boolean option is used jointly with the SPM
573 Dispatcher option (``SPD=spmd``). When enabled (1) it indicates the SPMC
574 component runs at the S-EL2 execution state provided by the Armv8.4-SecEL2
575 extension. This is the default when enabling the SPM Dispatcher. When
576 disabled (0) it indicates the SPMC component runs at the S-EL1 execution
577 state. This latter configuration supports pre-Armv8.4 platforms (aka not
578 implementing the Armv8.4-SecEL2 extension).
579
Paul Beesleyfe975b42019-09-16 11:29:03 +0000580- ``SPM_MM`` : Boolean option to enable the Management Mode (MM)-based Secure
Olivier Deprez7efa3f12020-03-26 16:09:21 +0100581 Partition Manager (SPM) implementation. The default value is ``0``
582 (disabled). This option cannot be enabled (``1``) when SPM Dispatcher is
583 enabled (``SPD=spmd``).
Paul Beesleyfe975b42019-09-16 11:29:03 +0000584
Manish Pandey3f90ad72020-01-14 11:52:05 +0000585- ``SP_LAYOUT_FILE``: Platform provided path to JSON file containing the
Olivier Deprez7efa3f12020-03-26 16:09:21 +0100586 description of secure partitions. The build system will parse this file and
587 package all secure partition blobs into the FIP. This file is not
588 necessarily part of TF-A tree. Only available when ``SPD=spmd``.
Manish Pandey3f90ad72020-01-14 11:52:05 +0000589
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100590- ``SP_MIN_WITH_SECURE_FIQ``: Boolean flag to indicate the SP_MIN handles
591 secure interrupts (caught through the FIQ line). Platforms can enable
592 this directive if they need to handle such interruption. When enabled,
593 the FIQ are handled in monitor mode and non secure world is not allowed
594 to mask these events. Platforms that enable FIQ handling in SP_MIN shall
595 implement the api ``sp_min_plat_fiq_handler()``. The default value is 0.
596
597- ``TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT``: Boolean flag to include support for the Trusted Board
598 Boot feature. When set to '1', BL1 and BL2 images include support to load
599 and verify the certificates and images in a FIP, and BL1 includes support
600 for the Firmware Update. The default value is '0'. Generation and inclusion
601 of certificates in the FIP and FWU_FIP depends upon the value of the
602 ``GENERATE_COT`` option.
603
604 .. warning::
605 This option depends on ``CREATE_KEYS`` to be enabled. If the keys
606 already exist in disk, they will be overwritten without further notice.
607
608- ``TRUSTED_WORLD_KEY``: This option is used when ``GENERATE_COT=1``. It
609 specifies the file that contains the Trusted World private key in PEM
610 format. If ``SAVE_KEYS=1``, this file name will be used to save the key.
611
612- ``TSP_INIT_ASYNC``: Choose BL32 initialization method as asynchronous or
613 synchronous, (see "Initializing a BL32 Image" section in
614 :ref:`Firmware Design`). It can take the value 0 (BL32 is initialized using
615 synchronous method) or 1 (BL32 is initialized using asynchronous method).
616 Default is 0.
617
618- ``TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT``: A non zero value enables the interrupt
619 routing model which routes non-secure interrupts asynchronously from TSP
620 to EL3 causing immediate preemption of TSP. The EL3 is responsible
621 for saving and restoring the TSP context in this routing model. The
622 default routing model (when the value is 0) is to route non-secure
623 interrupts to TSP allowing it to save its context and hand over
624 synchronously to EL3 via an SMC.
625
626 .. note::
627 When ``EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING`` is ``1``, ``TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT``
628 must also be set to ``1``.
629
630- ``USE_ARM_LINK``: This flag determines whether to enable support for ARM
631 linker. When the ``LINKER`` build variable points to the armlink linker,
632 this flag is enabled automatically. To enable support for armlink, platforms
633 will have to provide a scatter file for the BL image. Currently, Tegra
634 platforms use the armlink support to compile BL3-1 images.
635
636- ``USE_COHERENT_MEM``: This flag determines whether to include the coherent
637 memory region in the BL memory map or not (see "Use of Coherent memory in
638 TF-A" section in :ref:`Firmware Design`). It can take the value 1
639 (Coherent memory region is included) or 0 (Coherent memory region is
640 excluded). Default is 1.
641
Ambroise Vincent9660dc12019-07-12 13:47:03 +0100642- ``USE_DEBUGFS``: When set to 1 this option activates an EXPERIMENTAL feature
643 exposing a virtual filesystem interface through BL31 as a SiP SMC function.
644 Default is 0.
645
Louis Mayencourt6b232d92020-02-28 16:57:30 +0000646- ``ARM_IO_IN_DTB``: This flag determines whether to use IO based on the
647 firmware configuration framework. This will move the io_policies into a
Louis Mayencourtbadcac82019-10-24 15:18:46 +0100648 configuration device tree, instead of static structure in the code base.
Louis Mayencourtb25b8b62020-04-09 16:32:20 +0100649 This is currently an experimental feature.
Louis Mayencourtbadcac82019-10-24 15:18:46 +0100650
Manish V Badarkhead339892020-06-29 10:32:53 +0100651- ``COT_DESC_IN_DTB``: This flag determines whether to create COT descriptors
652 at runtime using fconf. If this flag is enabled, COT descriptors are
653 statically captured in tb_fw_config file in the form of device tree nodes
654 and properties. Currently, COT descriptors used by BL2 are moved to the
655 device tree and COT descriptors used by BL1 are retained in the code
656 base statically. This is currently an experimental feature.
657
Balint Dobszayd0dbd5e2019-12-18 15:28:00 +0100658- ``SDEI_IN_FCONF``: This flag determines whether to configure SDEI setup in
659 runtime using firmware configuration framework. The platform specific SDEI
660 shared and private events configuration is retrieved from device tree rather
661 than static C structures at compile time. This is currently an experimental
662 feature and is only supported if SDEI_SUPPORT build flag is enabled.
Louis Mayencourtbadcac82019-10-24 15:18:46 +0100663
Madhukar Pappireddy02cc3ff2020-06-02 09:26:30 -0500664- ``SEC_INT_DESC_IN_FCONF``: This flag determines whether to configure Group 0
665 and Group1 secure interrupts using the firmware configuration framework. The
666 platform specific secure interrupt property descriptor is retrieved from
667 device tree in runtime rather than depending on static C structure at compile
668 time. This is currently an experimental feature.
669
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100670- ``USE_ROMLIB``: This flag determines whether library at ROM will be used.
671 This feature creates a library of functions to be placed in ROM and thus
672 reduces SRAM usage. Refer to :ref:`Library at ROM` for further details. Default
673 is 0.
674
675- ``V``: Verbose build. If assigned anything other than 0, the build commands
676 are printed. Default is 0.
677
678- ``VERSION_STRING``: String used in the log output for each TF-A image.
679 Defaults to a string formed by concatenating the version number, build type
680 and build string.
681
682- ``W``: Warning level. Some compiler warning options of interest have been
683 regrouped and put in the root Makefile. This flag can take the values 0 to 3,
684 each level enabling more warning options. Default is 0.
685
686- ``WARMBOOT_ENABLE_DCACHE_EARLY`` : Boolean option to enable D-cache early on
687 the CPU after warm boot. This is applicable for platforms which do not
688 require interconnect programming to enable cache coherency (eg: single
689 cluster platforms). If this option is enabled, then warm boot path
690 enables D-caches immediately after enabling MMU. This option defaults to 0.
691
Manish V Badarkhe75c972a2020-03-22 05:06:38 +0000692- ``SUPPORT_STACK_MEMTAG``: This flag determines whether to enable memory
693 tagging for stack or not. It accepts 2 values: ``yes`` and ``no``. The
694 default value of this flag is ``no``. Note this option must be enabled only
695 for ARM architecture greater than Armv8.5-A.
696
Manish V Badarkhe2801ed42020-04-28 04:53:32 +0100697- ``ERRATA_SPECULATIVE_AT``: This flag enables/disables page table walk during
698 context restore as speculative AT instructions using an out-of-context
699 translation regime could cause subsequent requests to generate an incorrect
700 translation.
701 System registers are not updated during context save, hence this workaround
702 need not be applied in the context save path.
703
704 This boolean option enables errata for all below CPUs.
705
706 +---------+--------------+
707 | Errata | CPU |
708 +=========+==============+
709 | 1165522 | Cortex-A76 |
710 +---------+--------------+
711 | 1319367 | Cortex-A72 |
712 +---------+--------------+
713 | 1319537 | Cortex-A57 |

717 | 1530924 | Cortex-A53 |
718 +---------+--------------+
719
Varun Wadekar92234852020-06-12 10:11:28 -0700720- ``RAS_TRAP_LOWER_EL_ERR_ACCESS``: This flag enables/disables the SCR_EL3.TERR
721 bit, to trap access to the RAS ERR and RAS ERX registers from lower ELs.
722 This flag is disabled by default.
723
Manish V Badarkhe3589b702020-07-29 10:58:44 +0100724- ``OPENSSL_DIR``: This flag is used to provide the installed openssl directory
725 path on the host machine which is used to build certificate generation and
726 firmware encryption tool.
727
Alexei Fedorov84f1b5d2020-03-23 18:45:17 +0000728GICv3 driver options
729--------------------
730
731GICv3 driver files are included using directive:
732
733``include drivers/arm/gic/v3/gicv3.mk``
734
735The driver can be configured with the following options set in the platform
736makefile:
737
Andre Przywarae1cc1302020-03-25 15:50:38 +0000738- ``GICV3_SUPPORT_GIC600``: Add support for the GIC-600 variants of GICv3.
739 Enabling this option will add runtime detection support for the
740 GIC-600, so is safe to select even for a GIC500 implementation.
741 This option defaults to 0.
Alexei Fedorov84f1b5d2020-03-23 18:45:17 +0000742
743- ``GICV3_IMPL_GIC600_MULTICHIP``: Selects GIC-600 variant with multichip
744 functionality. This option defaults to 0
745
746- ``GICV3_OVERRIDE_DISTIF_PWR_OPS``: Allows override of default implementation
747 of ``arm_gicv3_distif_pre_save`` and ``arm_gicv3_distif_post_restore``
748 functions. This is required for FVP platform which need to simulate GIC save
749 and restore during SYSTEM_SUSPEND without powering down GIC. Default is 0.
750
Alexei Fedorov19705932020-04-06 19:00:35 +0100751- ``GIC_ENABLE_V4_EXTN`` : Enables GICv4 related changes in GICv3 driver.
752 This option defaults to 0.
753
Alexei Fedorova6e6ae02020-04-06 16:27:54 +0100754- ``GIC_EXT_INTID``: When set to ``1``, GICv3 driver will support extended
755 PPI (1056-1119) and SPI (4096-5119) range. This option defaults to 0.
756
Paul Beesleyd2fcc4e2019-05-29 13:59:40 +0100757Debugging options
758-----------------
759
760To compile a debug version and make the build more verbose use
761
762.. code:: shell
763
764 make PLAT=<platform> DEBUG=1 V=1 all
765
766AArch64 GCC uses DWARF version 4 debugging symbols by default. Some tools (for
767example DS-5) might not support this and may need an older version of DWARF
768symbols to be emitted by GCC. This can be achieved by using the
769``-gdwarf-<version>`` flag, with the version being set to 2 or 3. Setting the
770version to 2 is recommended for DS-5 versions older than 5.16.
771
772When debugging logic problems it might also be useful to disable all compiler
773optimizations by using ``-O0``.
774
775.. warning::
776 Using ``-O0`` could cause output images to be larger and base addresses
777 might need to be recalculated (see the **Memory layout on Arm development
778 platforms** section in the :ref:`Firmware Design`).
779
780Extra debug options can be passed to the build system by setting ``CFLAGS`` or
781``LDFLAGS``:
782
783.. code:: shell
784
785 CFLAGS='-O0 -gdwarf-2' \
786 make PLAT=<platform> DEBUG=1 V=1 all
787
788Note that using ``-Wl,`` style compilation driver options in ``CFLAGS`` will be
789ignored as the linker is called directly.
790
791It is also possible to introduce an infinite loop to help in debugging the
792post-BL2 phase of TF-A. This can be done by rebuilding BL1 with the
793``SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT=1`` build flag. Refer to the :ref:`build_options_common`
794section. In this case, the developer may take control of the target using a
795debugger when indicated by the console output. When using DS-5, the following
796commands can be used:
797
798::
799
800 # Stop target execution
801 interrupt
802
803 #
804 # Prepare your debugging environment, e.g. set breakpoints
805 #
806
807 # Jump over the debug loop
808 set var $AARCH64::$Core::$PC = $AARCH64::$Core::$PC + 4
809
810 # Resume execution
811 continue
