Trusted Firmware-A for STM32MP1 =============================== STM32MP1 is a microprocessor designed by STMicroelectronics based on a dual Arm Cortex-A7. It is an Armv7-A platform, using dedicated code from TF-A. The STM32MP1 chip also embeds a Cortex-M4. More information can be found on `STM32MP1 Series`_ page. Design ------ The STM32MP1 resets in the ROM code of the Cortex-A7. The primary boot core (core 0) executes the boot sequence while secondary boot core (core 1) is kept in a holding pen loop. The ROM code boot sequence loads the TF-A binary image from boot device to embedded SRAM. The TF-A image must be properly formatted with a STM32 header structure for ROM code is able to load this image. Tool stm32image can be used to prepend this header to the generated TF-A binary. At compilation step, BL2, BL32 and DTB file are linked together in a single binary. The stm32image tool is also generated and the header is added to TF-A binary. This binary file with header is named tf-a-stm32mp157c-ev1.stm32. It can then be copied in the first partition of the boot device.

Populate SD-card ---------------- The SD-card has to be formated with GPT. It should contain at least those partitions: - fsbl: to copy the tf-a-stm32mp157c-ev1.stm32 binary - ssbl: to copy the u-boot.stm32 binary Usually, two copies of fsbl are used (fsbl1 and fsbl2) instead of one partition fsbl. .. _STM32MP1 Series: https://www.st.com/en/microcontrollers-microprocessors/stm32mp1-series.html
