ARM Trusted Firmware - version 1.0
|
2013-10-25 09:08:21 +01:00
|
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ARM Trusted Firmware provides a reference implementation of secure world
|
2014-02-26 17:20:40 +00:00
|
|
|
software for [ARMv8-A], including Exception Level 3 (EL3) software. This
|
2014-08-26 19:18:55 +01:00
|
|
|
release provides initial support for the [Juno ARM Development Platform] [Juno],
|
|
|
|
|
complementing the existing support for the Base and Foundation
|
|
|
|
|
[Fixed Virtual Platforms (FVPs)] [FVP] from ARM.
|
2013-10-25 09:08:21 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The intent is to provide a reference implementation of various ARM interface
|
|
|
|
|
standards, such as the Power State Coordination Interface ([PSCI]), Trusted
|
|
|
|
|
Board Boot Requirements (TBBR) and [Secure Monitor] [TEE-SMC] code. As far as
|
2013-10-29 10:56:46 +00:00
|
|
|
possible the code is designed for reuse or porting to other ARMv8-A model and
|
2013-10-25 09:08:21 +01:00
|
|
|
hardware platforms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ARM will continue development in collaboration with interested parties to
|
|
|
|
|
provide a full reference implementation of PSCI, TBBR and Secure Monitor code
|
2014-05-29 19:07:23 +01:00
|
|
|
to the benefit of all developers working with ARMv8-A TrustZone technology.

|
This release is a limited functionality implementation of the Trusted Firmware.
|
|
|
|
|
It provides a suitable starting point for productization. Future versions will
|
|
|
|
|
contain new features, optimizations and quality improvements.

### Functionality
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Initial implementation of a subset of the Trusted Board Boot Requirements
|
2014-02-26 17:20:40 +00:00
|
|
|
Platform Design Document (PDD). This includes packaging the various firmware
|
|
|
|
|
images into a Firmware Image Package (FIP) to be loaded from non-volatile
|
|
|
|
|
storage.
|
2013-10-25 09:08:21 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Initializes the secure world (for example, exception vectors, control
|
|
|
|
|
registers, GIC and interrupts for the platform), before transitioning into
|
|
|
|
|
the normal world.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Supports both GICv2 and GICv3 initialization for use by normal world
|
|
|
|
|
software.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2014-08-26 19:18:55 +01:00
|
|
|
* Starts the normal world at the Exception Level and Register Width provided
|
|
|
|
|
by the platform port. Typically this is AArch64 EL2 if available.
|
2013-10-25 09:08:21 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Handles SMCs (Secure Monitor Calls) conforming to the [SMC Calling
|
2014-02-26 17:20:40 +00:00
|
|
|
Convention PDD] [SMCCC] using an EL3 runtime services framework.
|
2013-10-25 09:08:21 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Handles SMCs relating to the [Power State Coordination Interface PDD] [PSCI]
|
2014-08-26 19:18:55 +01:00
|
|
|
for the Secondary CPU Boot, CPU Hotplug, CPU Idle and System Shutdown/Reset
|
|
|
|
|
use-cases.
|
2014-02-26 17:20:40 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* A Test Secure-EL1 Payload and Dispatcher to demonstrate Secure Monitor
|
2014-05-29 19:07:23 +01:00
|
|
|
functionality such as world switching, EL1 context management and interrupt
|
|
|
|
|
routing. This also demonstrates Secure-EL1 interaction with PSCI. Some of
|
|
|
|
|
this functionality is provided in library form for re-use by other
|
|
|
|
|
Secure-EL1 Payload Dispatchers.
|
2013-10-25 09:08:21 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2014-05-29 19:07:23 +01:00
|
|
|
* Support for alternative Trusted Boot Firmware. Some platforms have their own
|
|
|
|
|
Trusted Boot implementation and only require the Secure Monitor
|
|
|
|
|
functionality provided by ARM Trusted Firmware.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Isolation of memory accessible by the secure world from the normal world
|
|
|
|
|
through programming of a TrustZone controller.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2014-08-26 19:18:55 +01:00
|
|
|
* Support for CPU specific reset sequences, power down sequences and register
|
|
|
|
|
dumping during crash reporting. The CPU specific reset sequences include
|
|
|
|
|
support for errata workarounds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
