Not all partitions are enabled by default in the upstream RSE FW. We¡¯re currently working on a generic solution for FWU on RSE, hence the reason by default the RSE-specific manifest does not enable it.

Subject: [TF-M] [RD-V3 / rdv3r1] Question regarding Firmware Update Service support
Hello everyone,
I am inquiring about the Firmware Update (FWU) service configuration on the
rdv3r1 (Neoverse RD-V3) platform.
While building TF-M for the
rdv3r1 target, I noticed that the TFM Firmware Update Partition is missing from the Secure Partitions list, even though I enabled the relevant CMake flags.
Upon investigation, it seems that the build system is using the platform-specific manifest list located at:
/tf-m/platform/ext/target/arm/rse/neoverse_rd/common/manifest/tfm_manifest_list.yaml
Instead of the generic
tf-m/tools/tfm_manifest_list.yaml. The issue is that the platform-specific manifest list appears to lack the definition for the FWU partition. Consequently, the files under
generated/secure_fw/partitions/firmware_update/auto_generated are not being generated.
Could you please clarify if the Firmware Update Service is currently not supported on the Neoverse RD environment? Or is there a specific configuration required to enable it?
Thank you.
Best regards,
JK Park
