Hi all,

I‘d like to merge the following patch set tomorrow, if there is no more major comment.

• Decouple tf-m-tests specific config setting from trusted-firmware-m.

[TF-M patch][tf-m-tests patch]

• Decouple tf-m-tests secure log from non-secure log. Switch tf-m-tests secure log to TF-M SP log.

[TF-M patch][tf-m-tests patch]

After the above patches are merged, there are two major changes:

• tf-m-tests dedicated configuration setup process will be moved to tf-m-test repo, from TF-M. Therefore you can update tf-m-tests config setting, without modifying TF-M repo.
• Tf-m-tests commit ID is specified in TF-M `lib\ext\tf-m-tests\repo_config_default.cmake`, rather than in TF-M main `config_default.cmake`. You can update tf-m-tests commit ID in TF-M without touching the large `config_default.cmake`.

Any suggestion or comment is always welcome!

Best regards,

Hu Ziji

Subject: [TF-M] [RFC] Decoupling tf-m-tests from TF-M

Hi all,

As you may know, Jianliang and I are working to better decouple tf-m-tests from trusted-firmware-m repo.

The purpose of the decoupling enhancement includes:

• Making it more easier to integrate TF-M and port tf-m-tests
• Making it more easier to develop TF-M tests, to minimize the changes to TF-M source code or build system.
• Making it more flexible to re-structure tf-m-tests and minimize the impact to TF-M

Previously Jianliang has decouple test case control and enable users to select single NS/S regression test case in build and test.

Currently we are focusing on decoupling tf-m-tests specific config setting from TF-M.

So far we have proposed the following major changes:

• Decouple tf-m-tests specific config setting from trusted-firmware-m.

[TF-M patch][tf-m-tests patch]

• Move tf-m-tests specific configs to tf-m-tests repo from trusted-firmware-m

[TF-M patch][tf-m-tests patch]

More patch sets for decoupling are under review as well.

• Decouple tf-m-tests secure log from non-secure log. Switch tf-m-tests secure log to TF-M SP log.

[TF-M patch][tf-m-tests patch]

• Trigger secure regression tests in TF-M SPE in IPC model, to simplify multi-core development/tests

[TF-M patch][tf-m-tests patch]

I’d appreciate it if you can take a look at the patch sets above. Any suggestion or comment is welcome.

If you have any specific requirement or suggestion of tf-m-tests enhancement, please feel free to contact Jianliang and me.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Hu Ziji
