About erratum in TF-A

by Ming Huang

Hi Boyan, Some questions about erratum in TF-A: 1 Why workaround's flag is 0? In my mind, all flag should be 1 because there is func to check cpu revisions, such as check_errata_2326639. 43438ad1a patch: +ERRATA_N2_2326639 ?=0 2 After e444763d6(shorten errata flag defines) patch, introduce CPU_FLAG_LIST, Is the workaround's flag change to 1? e444763d6 patch: -ERRATA_N2_2326639 ?=0 +CPU_FLAG_LIST += ERRATA_N2_2326639 Regards, Ming

FYI: Session on OpenCI and MISRA

by Don Harbin

Hi All, I wanted to let you know that next Thursday, July 27th, the TF-A Tech Forum will be hosting a presentation on OpenCI and MISRA presented by Paul Sokolovski of Linaro and Roberto Bagnara from Bugseng. MISRA is being enabled on both TF-A and TF-M in OpenCI, so sending this out to both lists since users in both domains may be interested in the session. Meeting time and dial up info can be found in the TF community calendar located here: https://www.trustedfirmware.org/meetings/ Best Regards, Don Harbin TrustedFirmware Community Manager don.harbin(a)linaro.org

The increasing size of BL31

by Okash Khawaja

Hi, Typically, BL31 runs in SRAM which tends to be limited. As we add support for newer architectural features e.g. CCA, general features and standards, the size of BL31 image will grow and become harder to fit in most SRAMs. This email is to share ideas on how to address this problem. A simple approach will be to identify parts of NOBITS ELF sections of BL31 which can be moved out to DRAM. Since NOBITS sections aren't part of the file image, loading and authentication code doesn't have to change. The challenge will be to come up with some criteria to help decide what kind of buffers can be kept in DRAM vs SRAM. Other ideas are also welcome. Please share your thoughts. Thanks, Okash
