Contributing to Trusted Firmware Armv7-A and Armv8-A

by Waqas Mazhar

Hi all, Hope you are well. I have recently joined this mailing list and am quite keen to contribute to this project but don't know where to start. Currently, I am going through Trusted Firmware A Documentation <https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html> document and Gerrit code reviews <https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/status:open+-is:wip> to develop some initial understanding and familiarity about the project. As a first step, I am trying to understand areas where I can contribute. Is there any simple issue for me to pick? I am happy to volunteer. Looking forward to hearing from you, Waqas

MISRA Compliance: Request to consider filing deviation for 11.1 (Function Pointer Conversions) in TF-A

by Dhruva Gole

Hello, Background & Justification: MISRA C:2012 Rule 11.1 forbids the conversion from a function pointer to any other type. However, in the context of TF-A, we encounter scenarios where this conversion is necessary and performed with full knowledge of the target architecture and toolchain behavior. A prominent example is in low-level platform code, such as transferring control between bootloader stages or passing function entry points for CPU/core bring-up, where the conversion is unavoidable and well-understood. One such example is the K3 PSCI driver [1] where we pass the k3_sec_entrypoint which is of type uintptr_t, to the ti_sci_proc_set_boot_cfg function where the parameter is of type uint64_t. Another place that triggered the discussions behind this MISRA C issue was the TI AM62L PSCI driver [2] that needs a 16b aligned function pointer. We don't have to go into specific case by case discussion of solving these issues, but just wanted to share example use cases of function pointer conversion. Request: I propose we formally document a project-wide MISRA C:2012 Rule 11.1 deviation, reflecting current and future usage throughout the TF-A codebase. This deviation allows us to balance MISRA objectives with the practical and architectural necessities of TF-A development. Rationale: * Conversions between function pointers and other types are essential in several parts of the TF-A codebase, not limited to one module or file. * Platform-specific code (e.g., power management, bootloader hand-offs) relies on this pattern for correct operation. References: [1] https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/blob/master/plat/ti/k3… [2] https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/blob/master/plat/ti/k3… -- Best regards, Dhruva Gole Texas Instruments Incorporated

Context uninitialized assertion failure in xlat_tables_core for ZynqMP

by Michał Kruszewski

Hello, I want to boot Linux on ZynqMP (XCZU15EG). I follow the standard procedure. I have generated FSBL using Vitis. I have compiled bl31 (tag: xilinx-v2025.1). I have a standard boot.bif configuration looking as follows: the_ROM_image: { [bootloader] fsbl.elf [pmufw_image] pmufw.elf [destination_cpu = a53-0, exception_level= el-3, trustzone] bl31.bin [destination_cpu = a53-0, exception_level= el-2, load = 0x10000000] images/u-boot.bin } However, the bl31 reports the following error during the handoff to u-boot: ASSERT: lib/xlat_tables_v2/xlat_tables_core.c:788 BACKTRACE: START: assert 0: F_FUNCTION: 0x2880 1: F_FUNCTION: 0x4cac 2: F_FUNCTION: 0x2628 3: F_FUNCTION: 0x36e0 4: F_FUNCTION: 0x108 5: F_FUNCTION: 0xfffcd8e8 BACKTRACE: END: assert This is an assertion for context being uninitialized in the mmap_add_region_ctx function. /* Static regions must be added before initializing the xlat tables. */ assert(!ctx->initialized); Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong?
