ARM Trusted Firmware - version 1.2
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
ARM Trusted Firmware provides a reference implementation of secure world
|
|
software for [ARMv8-A], including a [Secure Monitor] [TEE-SMC] executing at
|
|
Exception Level 3 (EL3). It implements various ARM interface standards, such as
|
|
the Power State Coordination Interface ([PSCI]), Trusted Board Boot Requirements
|
|
(TBBR, ARM DEN0006C-1) and [SMC Calling Convention][SMCCC]. As far as possible
|
|
the code is designed for reuse or porting to other ARMv8-A model and hardware
|
|
platforms.
|
|
|
|
ARM will continue development in collaboration with interested parties to
|
|
provide a full reference implementation of PSCI, TBBR and Secure Monitor code
|
|
to the benefit of all developers working with ARMv8-A TrustZone technology.
|

The software is provided under a BSD 3-Clause [license]. Certain source files
|

source files.

|
This Release
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
This release provides a suitable starting point for productization of secure
|
|
world boot and runtime firmware. Future versions will contain new features,
|
|
optimizations and quality improvements.
|
|
|
|
Users are encouraged to do their own security validation, including penetration
|
|
testing, on any secure world code derived from ARM Trusted Firmware.
|
|
|
|
### Functionality
|
|
|
|
* Initialization of the secure world (for example, exception vectors, control
|
|
registers, interrupt controller and interrupts for the platform), before
|
|
transitioning into the normal world at the Exception Level and Register
|
|
Width specified by the platform.
|
|
|
|
* Library support for CPU specific reset and power down sequences. This
|
|
includes support for errata workarounds.
|
|
|
|
* Drivers for both the version 2.0 and version 3.0 ARM Generic Interrupt
|
|
Controller specifications (GICv2 and GICv3). The latter also enables GICv3
|
|
hardware systems that do not contain legacy GICv2 support.
|
|
|
|
* Drivers to enable standard initialization of ARM System IP, for example
|
|
Cache Coherent Interconnect (CCI), Cache Coherent Network (CCN), Network
|
|
Interconnect (NIC) and TrustZone Controller (TZC).
|
|
|
|
* SMC (Secure Monitor Call) handling, conforming to the [SMC Calling
|
|
Convention][SMCCC] using an EL3 runtime services framework.
|
|
|
|
* SMC handling relating to [PSCI] for the Secondary CPU Boot, CPU Hotplug,
|
|
CPU Idle and System Shutdown/Reset/Suspend use-cases.
|
|
|
|
* Secure Monitor library code such as world switching, EL1 context management
|
|
and interrupt routing. This must be integrated with a Secure-EL1 Payload
|
|
Dispatcher (SPD) component to customize the interaction with a Secure-EL1
|
|
Payload (SP), for example a Secure OS.
|
|
|
|
* A Test Secure-EL1 Payload and Dispatcher to demonstrate Secure Monitor
|
|
functionality and Secure-EL1 interaction with PSCI.
|
|
|
|
* SPDs for the [OP-TEE Secure OS] and [NVidia Trusted Little Kernel]
|
|
[NVidia TLK].
|
|
|
|
* A Trusted Board Boot implementation, conforming to all mandatory TBBR
|
|
requirements. This includes image authentication using certificates, a
|
|
Firmware Update (or recovery mode) boot flow, and packaging of the various
|
|
firmware images into a Firmware Image Package (FIP) to be loaded from
|
|
non-volatile storage.
|
|
|
|
* Support for alternative boot flows. Some platforms have their own boot
|
|
firmware and only require the ARM Trusted Firmware Secure Monitor
|
|
functionality. Other platforms require minimal initialization before
|
|
booting into an arbitrary EL3 payload.
|
|
|
|
For a full description of functionality and implementation details, please
|
|
see the [Firmware Design] and supporting documentation. The [Change Log]
|
|
provides details of changes made since the last release.
|
|
|
|
### Platforms
|
|
|
|
This release of the Trusted Firmware has been tested on variants r0 and r1 of
|
|
the [Juno ARM Development Platform] [Juno] with [Linaro Release 15.10]
|
|
[Linaro Release Notes].
|
|
|
|
The Trusted Firmware has also been tested on the 64-bit Linux versions of the
|
|
following ARM [FVP]s:
|
|
|
|
* `Foundation_Platform` (Version 9.4, Build 9.4.59)
|
|
* `FVP_Base_AEMv8A-AEMv8A` (Version 7.0, Build 0.8.7004)
|
|
* `FVP_Base_Cortex-A57x4-A53x4` (Version 7.0, Build 0.8.7004)
|
|
* `FVP_Base_Cortex-A57x1-A53x1` (Version 7.0, Build 0.8.7004)
|
|
* `FVP_Base_Cortex-A57x2-A53x4` (Version 7.0, Build 0.8.7004)
|
|
|
|
The Foundation FVP can be downloaded free of charge. The Base FVPs can be
|
|
licensed from ARM: see [www.arm.com/fvp] [FVP].
|
|
|
|
This release also contains the following platform support:
|
|
|
|
* NVidia T210 and T132 SoCs
|
|
* MediaTek MT8173 SoC
|
|
|
|
### Still to Come
|
|
|
|
* Complete implementation of the [PSCI] v1.0 specification.
|
|
|
|
* Support for new CPUs and System IP.
|
|
|
|
* More platform support.
|
|
|
|
* Optimization and quality improvements.
