Introduction ---------------- This document describes how to build ARM Trusted Firmware and run it with a tested set of other software components using defined configurations on ARM Fixed Virtual Platform (FVP) models. It is possible to use other software components, configurations and platforms but that is outside the scope of this document. This document should be used in conjunction with the [Firmware Design]. 2. Host machine requirements ----------------------------- The minimum recommended machine specification for building the software and running the FVP models is a dual-core processor running at 2GHz with 12GB of RAM. For best performance, use a machine with a quad-core processor running at 2.6GHz with 16GB of RAM. The software has been tested on Ubuntu 12.04.04 (64-bit). Packages used for building the software were installed from that distribution unless otherwise specified. 3. Tools --------- The following tools are required to use the ARM Trusted Firmware: * `git` package to obtain source code. * `ia32-libs` package. * `build-essential`, `uuid-dev` and `iasl` packages for building UEFI and the Firmware Image Package(FIP) tool. * `bc` and `ncurses-dev` packages for building Linux. * `device-tree-compiler` package for building the Flattened Device Tree (FDT) source files (`.dts` files) provided with this software. * Baremetal GNU GCC tools. Verified packages can be downloaded from [Linaro] [Linaro Toolchain]. The rest of this document assumes that the `gcc-linaro-aarch64-none-elf-4.9-2014.07_linux.tar.xz` tools are used. wget http://releases.linaro.org/14.07/components/toolchain/binaries/gcc-linaro-aarch64-none-elf-4.9-2014.07_linux.tar.xz tar -xf gcc-linaro-aarch64-none-elf-4.9-2014.07_linux.tar.xz * (Optional) For debugging, ARM [Development Studio 5 (DS-5)][DS-5] v5.19. 4. Building the Trusted Firmware --------------------------------- To build the Trusted Firmware images, follow these steps: 1. Clone the ARM Trusted Firmware repository from GitHub: git clone https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware.git 2. Change to the trusted firmware directory: cd arm-trusted-firmware 3. Set the compiler path, specify a Non-trusted Firmware image (BL3-3) and a valid platform and build: CROSS_COMPILE=/bin/aarch64-none-elf- \ BL33=/ \ make PLAT= all fip If `PLAT` is not specified, `fvp` is assumed by default. See the "Summary of build options" for more information on available build options. The BL3-3 image corresponds to the software that is executed after switching to the non-secure world. UEFI can be used as the BL3-3 image. Refer to the "Obtaining the normal world software" section below. The TSP (Test Secure Payload), corresponding to the BL3-2 image, is not compiled in by default. Refer to the "Building the Test Secure Payload" section below. By default this produces a release version of the build. To produce a debug version instead, refer to the "Debugging options" section below. The build process creates products in a `build` directory tree, building the objects and binaries for each boot loader stage in separate sub-directories. The following boot loader binary files are created from the corresponding ELF files: * `build///bl1.bin` * `build///bl2.bin` * `build///bl31.bin` where `` is the name of the chosen platform and `` is either `debug` or `release`. A Firmare Image Package(FIP) will be created as part of the build. It contains all boot loader images except for `bl1.bin`. * `build///fip.bin` For more information on FIPs, see the "Firmware Image Package" section in the [Firmware Design]. 4. (Optional) Some platforms may require a BL3-0 image to boot. This image can be included in the FIP when building the Trusted Firmware by specifying the BL30 build option: BL30=/ 5. Output binary files `bl1.bin` and `fip.bin` are both required to boot the system. How these files are used is platform specific. Refer to the platform documentation on how to use the firmware images. 6. (Optional) Build products for a specific build variant can be removed using: make DEBUG= PLAT= clean ... where `` is `0` or `1`, as specified when building. The build tree can be removed completely using: make realclean ### Summary of build options ARM Trusted Firmware build system supports the following build options. Unless mentioned otherwise, these options are expected to be specified at the build command line and are not to be modified in any component makefiles. Note that the build system doesn't track dependency for build options. Therefore, if any of the build options are changed from a previous build, a clean build must be performed. #### Common build options * `BL30`: Path to BL3-0 image in the host file system. This image is optional. If a BL3-0 image is present then this option must be passed for the `fip` target * `BL33`: Path to BL33 image in the host file system. This is mandatory for `fip` target * `CROSS_COMPILE`: Prefix to tool chain binaries. Please refer to examples in this document for usage * `DEBUG`: Chooses between a debug and release build. It can take either 0 (release) or 1 (debug) as values. 0 is the default * `LOG_LEVEL`: Chooses the log level, which controls the amount of console log output compiled into the build. This should be one of the following: 0 (LOG_LEVEL_NONE) 10 (LOG_LEVEL_NOTICE) 20 (LOG_LEVEL_ERROR) 30 (LOG_LEVEL_WARNING) 40 (LOG_LEVEL_INFO) 50 (LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE) All log output up to and including the log level is compiled into the build. The default value is 40 in debug builds and 20 in release builds. * `NS_TIMER_SWITCH`: Enable save and restore for non-secure timer register contents upon world switch. It can take either 0 (don't save and restore) or 1 (do save and restore). 0 is the default. An SPD could set this to 1 if it wants the timer registers to be saved and restored * `PLAT`: Choose a platform to build ARM Trusted Firmware for. The chosen platform name must be the name of one of the directories under the `plat/` directory other than `common` * `SPD`: Choose a Secure Payload Dispatcher component to be built into the Trusted Firmware. The value should be the path to the directory containing SPD source; the directory is expected to contain `spd.mk` makefile * `V`: Verbose build. If assigned anything other than 0, the build commands are printed. Default is 0 * `ARM_GIC_ARCH`: Choice of ARM GIC architecture version used by the ARM GIC driver for implementing the platform GIC API. This API is used by the interrupt management framework. Default is 2 i.e. version 2.0. * `IMF_READ_INTERRUPT_ID`: Boolean flag used by the interrupt management framework to enable passing of the interrupt id to its handler. The id is read using a platform GIC API. `INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE` is passed instead if this option set to 0. Default is 0. * `RESET_TO_BL31`: Enable BL3-1 entrypoint as the CPU reset vector in place of the BL1 entrypoint. It can take the value 0 (CPU reset to BL1 entrypoint) or 1 (CPU reset to BL3-1 entrypoint). The default value is 0. * `CRASH_REPORTING`: A non-zero value enables a console dump of processor register state when an unexpected exception occurs during execution of BL3-1. This option defaults to the value of `DEBUG` - i.e. by default this is only enabled for a debug build of the firmware. * `ASM_ASSERTION`: This flag determines whether the assertion checks within assembly source files are enabled or not. This option defaults to the value of `DEBUG` - i.e. by default this is only enabled for a debug build of the firmware. * `TSP_INIT_ASYNC`: Choose BL3-2 initialization method as asynchronous or synchronous, e.g. "(see "Initializing a BL3-2 Image" section in [Firmware Design])". It can take the value 0 (BL3-2 is initialized using synchronous method) or 1 (BL3-2 is initialized using asynchronous method). Default is 0. #### FVP specific build options * `FVP_SHARED_DATA_LOCATION`: location of the shared memory page. Available options: - 'tsram' (default) : top of Trusted SRAM - 'tdram' : base of Trusted DRAM * `FVP_TSP_RAM_LOCATION`: location of the TSP binary. Options: - 'tsram' (default) : base of Trusted SRAM - 'tdram' : Trusted DRAM (above shared data) For a better understanding of FVP options, the FVP memory map is detailed in [Firmware Design]. ### Creating a Firmware Image Package FIPs are automatically created as part of the build instructions described in the previous section. It is also possible to independently build the FIP creation tool and FIPs if required. To do this, follow these steps: Build the tool: make -C tools/fip_create It is recommended to remove the build artifacts before rebuilding: make -C tools/fip_create clean Create a Firmware package that contains existing BL2 and BL3-1 images: # fip_create --help to print usage information # fip_create [--dump to show result] ./tools/fip_create/fip_create fip.bin --dump \ --bl2 build//debug/bl2.bin --bl31 build//debug/bl31.bin Firmware Image Package ToC: --------------------------- - Trusted Boot Firmware BL2: offset=0x88, size=0x81E8 file: 'build//debug/bl2.bin' - EL3 Runtime Firmware BL3-1: offset=0x8270, size=0xC218 file: 'build//debug/bl31.bin' --------------------------- Creating "fip.bin" View the contents of an existing Firmware package: ./tools/fip_create/fip_create fip.bin --dump Firmware Image Package ToC: --------------------------- - Trusted Boot Firmware BL2: offset=0x88, size=0x81E8 - EL3 Runtime Firmware BL3-1: offset=0x8270, size=0xC218 --------------------------- Existing package entries can be individially updated: # Change the BL2 from Debug to Release version ./tools/fip_create/fip_create fip.bin --dump \ --bl2 build//release/bl2.bin Firmware Image Package ToC: --------------------------- - Trusted Boot Firmware BL2: offset=0x88, size=0x7240 file: 'build//release/bl2.bin' - EL3 Runtime Firmware BL3-1: offset=0x72C8, size=0xC218 --------------------------- Updating "fip.bin" ### Debugging options To compile a debug version and make the build more verbose use CROSS_COMPILE=/bin/aarch64-none-elf- \ BL33=/ \ make PLAT= DEBUG=1 V=1 all fip AArch64 GCC uses DWARF version 4 debugging symbols by default. Some tools (for example DS-5) might not support this and may need an older version of DWARF symbols to be emitted by GCC. This can be achieved by using the `-gdwarf-` flag, with the version being set to 2 or 3. Setting the version to 2 is recommended for DS-5 versions older than 5.16. When debugging logic problems it might also be useful to disable all compiler optimizations by using `-O0`. NOTE: Using `-O0` could cause output images to be larger and base addresses might need to be recalculated (see the later memory layout section). Extra debug options can be passed to the build system by setting `CFLAGS`: CFLAGS='-O0 -gdwarf-2' \ CROSS_COMPILE=/bin/aarch64-none-elf- \ BL33=/ \ make PLAT= DEBUG=1 V=1 all fip ### Building the Test Secure Payload The TSP is coupled with a companion runtime service in the BL3-1 firmware, called the TSPD. Therefore, if you intend to use the TSP, the BL3-1 image must be recompiled as well. For more information on SPs and SPDs, see the "Secure-EL1 Payloads and Dispatchers" section in the [Firmware Design]. First clean the Trusted Firmware build directory to get rid of any previous BL3-1 binary. Then to build the TSP image and include it into the FIP use: CROSS_COMPILE=/bin/aarch64-none-elf- \ BL33=/ \ make PLAT= SPD=tspd all fip An additional boot loader binary file is created in the `build` directory: * `build///bl32.bin` The FIP will now contain the additional BL3-2 image. Here is an example output from an FVP build in release mode including BL3-2 and using FVP_AARCH64_EFI.fd as BL3-3 image: Firmware Image Package ToC: --------------------------- - Trusted Boot Firmware BL2: offset=0xD8, size=0x6000 file: './build/fvp/release/bl2.bin' - EL3 Runtime Firmware BL3-1: offset=0x60D8, size=0x9000 file: './build/fvp/release/bl31.bin' - Secure Payload BL3-2 (Trusted OS): offset=0xF0D8, size=0x3000 file: './build/fvp/release/bl32.bin' - Non-Trusted Firmware BL3-3: offset=0x120D8, size=0x280000 file: '../FVP_AARCH64_EFI.fd' --------------------------- Creating "build/fvp/release/fip.bin" ### Checking source code style When making changes to the source for submission to the project, the source must be in compliance with the Linux style guide, and to assist with this check the project Makefile contains two targets, which both utilise the checkpatch.pl script that ships with the Linux source tree. To check the entire source tree, you must first download a copy of checkpatch.pl (or the full Linux source), set the CHECKPATCH environment variable to point to the script and build the target checkcodebase: make CHECKPATCH=/linux/scripts/checkpatch.pl checkcodebase To just check the style on the files that differ between your local branch and the remote master, use: make CHECKPATCH=/linux/scripts/checkpatch.pl checkpatch If you wish to check your patch against something other than the remote master, set the BASE_COMMIT variable to your desired branch. By default, BASE_COMMIT is set to 'origin/master'. 5. Obtaining the normal world software --------------------------------------- ### Obtaining EDK2 Potentially any kind of non-trusted firmware may be used with the ARM Trusted Firmware but the software has only been tested with the EFI Development Kit 2 (EDK2) open source implementation of the UEFI specification. To build the software to be compatible with Foundation and Base FVPs and the Juno platform, follow these steps: 1. Clone the [EDK2 source code][EDK2] from GitHub: git clone -n https://github.com/tianocore/edk2.git Not all required features are available in the EDK2 mainline yet. These can be obtained from the ARM-software EDK2 repository instead: cd edk2 git remote add -f --tags arm-software https://github.com/ARM-software/edk2.git git checkout --detach v1.2 2. Copy build config templates to local workspace # in edk2/ . edksetup.sh 3. Build the EDK2 host tools make -C BaseTools clean make -C BaseTools 4. Build the EDK2 software 1. Build for FVP GCC49_AARCH64_PREFIX=/bin/aarch64-none-elf- \ make -f ArmPlatformPkg/Scripts/Makefile EDK2_ARCH=AARCH64 \ EDK2_DSC=ArmPlatformPkg/ArmVExpressPkg/ArmVExpress-FVP-AArch64.dsc \ EDK2_TOOLCHAIN=GCC49 EDK2_BUILD=RELEASE \ EDK2_MACROS="-n 6 -D ARM_FOUNDATION_FVP=1" The EDK2 binary for use with the ARM Trusted Firmware can then be found here: Build/ArmVExpress-FVP-AArch64/RELEASE_GCC49/FV/FVP_AARCH64_EFI.fd 2. Build for Juno GCC49_AARCH64_PREFIX=/bin/aarch64-none-elf- \ make -f ArmPlatformPkg/ArmJunoPkg/Makefile EDK2_ARCH=AARCH64 \ EDK2_TOOLCHAIN=GCC49 EDK2_BUILD=RELEASE The EDK2 binary for use with the ARM Trusted Firmware can then be found here: Build/ArmJuno/RELEASE_GCC49/FV/BL33_AP_UEFI.fd The EDK2 binary should be specified as `BL33` in in the `make` command line when building the Trusted Firmware. See the "Building the Trusted Firmware" section above. 5. (Optional) To build EDK2 in debug mode, remove `EDK2_BUILD=RELEASE` from the command line. 6. (Optional) To boot Linux using a VirtioBlock file-system, the command line passed from EDK2 to the Linux kernel must be modified as described in the "Obtaining a root file-system" section below. 7. (Optional) If legacy GICv2 locations are used, the EDK2 platform description must be updated. This is required as EDK2 does not support probing for the GIC location. To do this, first clean the EDK2 build directory. make -f ArmPlatformPkg/Scripts/Makefile EDK2_ARCH=AARCH64 \ EDK2_DSC=ArmPlatformPkg/ArmVExpressPkg/ArmVExpress-FVP-AArch64.dsc \ EDK2_TOOLCHAIN=ARMGCC clean Then rebuild EDK2 as described in step 3, using the following flag: -D ARM_FVP_LEGACY_GICV2_LOCATION=1 Finally rebuild the Trusted Firmware to generate a new FIP using the instructions in the "Building the Trusted Firmware" section. ### Obtaining a Linux kernel Preparing a Linux kernel for use on the FVPs can be done as follows (GICv2 support only): 1. Clone Linux: git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git Not all required features are available in the kernel mainline yet. These can be obtained from the ARM-software EDK2 repository instead: cd linux git remote add -f --tags arm-software https://github.com/ARM-software/linux.git git checkout --detach 1.1-Juno 2. Build with the Linaro GCC tools. # in linux/ make mrproper make ARCH=arm64 defconfig CROSS_COMPILE=/bin/aarch64-none-elf- \ make -j6 ARCH=arm64 The compiled Linux image will now be found at `arch/arm64/boot/Image`. 6. Preparing the images to run on FVP -------------------------------------- ### Obtaining the Flattened Device Trees Depending on the FVP configuration and Linux configuration used, different FDT files are required. FDTs for the Foundation and Base FVPs can be found in the Trusted Firmware source directory under `fdts/`. The Foundation FVP has a subset of the Base FVP components. For example, the Foundation FVP lacks CLCD and MMC support, and has only one CPU cluster. * `fvp-base-gicv2-psci.dtb` (Default) For use with both AEMv8 and Cortex-A57-A53 Base FVPs with Base memory map configuration. * `fvp-base-gicv2legacy-psci.dtb` For use with AEMv8 Base FVP with legacy VE GIC memory map configuration. * `fvp-base-gicv3-psci.dtb` For use with both AEMv8 and Cortex-A57-A53 Base FVPs with Base memory map configuration and Linux GICv3 support. * `fvp-foundation-gicv2-psci.dtb` (Default) For use with Foundation FVP with Base memory map configuration. * `fvp-foundation-gicv2legacy-psci.dtb` For use with Foundation FVP with legacy VE GIC memory map configuration. * `fvp-foundation-gicv3-psci.dtb` For use with Foundation FVP with Base memory map configuration and Linux GICv3 support. Copy the chosen FDT blob as `fdt.dtb` to the directory from which the FVP is launched. Alternatively a symbolic link may be used. ### Preparing the kernel image Copy the kernel image file `arch/arm64/boot/Image` to the directory from which the FVP is launched. Alternatively a symbolic link may be used. ### Obtaining a root file-system To prepare a Linaro LAMP based Open Embedded file-system, the following instructions can be used as a guide. The file-system can be provided to Linux via VirtioBlock or as a RAM-disk. Both methods are described below. #### Prepare VirtioBlock To prepare a VirtioBlock file-system, do the following: 1. Download and unpack the disk image. NOTE: The unpacked disk image grows to 3 GiB in size. wget http://releases.linaro.org/14.07/openembedded/aarch64/vexpress64-openembedded_lamp-armv8-gcc-4.9_20140727-682.img.gz gunzip vexpress64-openembedded_lamp-armv8-gcc-4.9_20140727-682.img.gz 2. Make sure the Linux kernel has Virtio support enabled using `make ARCH=arm64 menuconfig`. Device Drivers ---> Virtio drivers ---> <*> Platform bus driver for memory mapped virtio devices Device Drivers ---> [*] Block devices ---> <*> Virtio block driver File systems ---> <*> The Extended 4 (ext4) filesystem If some of these configurations are missing, enable them, save the kernel configuration, then rebuild the kernel image using the instructions provided in the section "Obtaining a Linux kernel". 3. Change the Kernel command line to include `root=/dev/vda2`. This can either be done in the EDK2 boot menu or in the platform file. Editing the platform file and rebuilding EDK2 will make the change persist. To do this: 1. In EDK2, edit the following file: ArmPlatformPkg/ArmVExpressPkg/ArmVExpress-FVP-AArch64.dsc 2. Add `root=/dev/vda2` to: gArmPlatformTokenSpaceGuid.PcdDefaultBootArgument|"" 3. Remove the entry: gArmPlatformTokenSpaceGuid.PcdDefaultBootInitrdPath|"" 4. Rebuild EDK2 (see "Obtaining UEFI" section above). 4. The file-system image file should be provided to the model environment by passing it the correct command line option. In the FVPs the following option should be provided in addition to the ones described in the "Running the software on FVP" section below. NOTE: A symbolic link to this file cannot be used with the FVP; the path to the real file must be provided. On the Base FVPs: -C bp.virtioblockdevice.image_path="/" On the Foundation FVP: --block-device="/" 5. Ensure that the FVP doesn't output any error messages. If the following error message is displayed: ERROR: BlockDevice: Failed to open "/"! then make sure the path to the file-system image in the model parameter is correct and that read permission is correctly set on the file-system image file. #### Prepare RAM-disk To prepare a RAM-disk root file-system, do the following: 1. Download the file-system image: wget http://releases.linaro.org/14.07/openembedded/aarch64/linaro-image-lamp-genericarmv8-20140727-701.rootfs.tar.gz 2. Modify the Linaro image: # Prepare for use as RAM-disk. Normally use MMC, NFS or VirtioBlock. # Be careful, otherwise you could damage your host file-system. mkdir tmp; cd tmp sudo sh -c "zcat ../linaro-image-lamp-genericarmv8-20140727-701.rootfs.tar.gz | cpio -id" sudo ln -s sbin/init . sudo sh -c "echo 'devtmpfs /dev devtmpfs mode=0755,nosuid 0 0' >> etc/fstab" sudo sh -c "find . | cpio --quiet -H newc -o | gzip -3 -n > ../filesystem.cpio.gz" cd .. 3. Copy the resultant `filesystem.cpio.gz` to the directory where the FVP is launched from. Alternatively a symbolic link may be used. 7. Running the software on FVP ------------------------------- This version of the ARM Trusted Firmware has been tested on the following ARM FVPs (64-bit versions only). * `Foundation_v8` (Version 2.1, Build 9.0.24) * `FVP_Base_AEMv8A-AEMv8A` (Version 5.8, Build 0.8.5802) * `FVP_Base_Cortex-A57x4-A53x4` (Version 5.8, Build 0.8.5802) * `FVP_Base_Cortex-A57x1-A53x1` (Version 5.8, Build 0.8.5802) * `FVP_Base_Cortex-A57x2-A53x4` (Version 5.8, Build 0.8.5802) NOTE: The build numbers quoted above are those reported by launching the FVP with the `--version` parameter. NOTE: The software will not work on Version 1.0 of the Foundation FVP. The commands below would report an `unhandled argument` error in this case. NOTE: The Foundation FVP does not provide a debugger interface. Please refer to the FVP documentation for a detailed description of the model parameter options. A brief description of the important ones that affect the ARM Trusted Firmware and normal world software behavior is provided below. The Foundation FVP is a cut down version of the AArch64 Base FVP. It can be downloaded for free from [ARM's website][ARM FVP website]. ### Running on the Foundation FVP with reset to BL1 entrypoint The following `Foundation_v8` parameters should be used to boot Linux with 4 CPUs using the ARM Trusted Firmware. NOTE: Using the `--block-device` parameter is not necessary if a Linux RAM-disk file-system is used (see the "Obtaining a File-system" section above). NOTE: The `--data=""@0x8000000` parameter is used to load a Firmware Image Package at the start of NOR FLASH0 (see the "Building the Trusted Firmware" section above). /Foundation_v8 \ --cores=4 \ --no-secure-memory \ --visualization \ --gicv3 \ --data="/"@0x0 \ --data="/"@0x8000000 \ --block-device="/" The default use-case for the Foundation FVP is to enable the GICv3 device in the model but use the GICv2 FDT, in order for Linux to drive the GIC in GICv2 emulation mode. The memory mapped addresses `0x0` and `0x8000000` correspond to the start of trusted ROM and NOR FLASH0 respectively. ### Notes regarding Base FVP configuration options 1. The `-C bp.flashloader0.fname` parameter is used to load a Firmware Image Package at the start of NOR FLASH0 (see the "Building the Trusted Firmware" section above). 2. Using `cache_state_modelled=1` makes booting very slow. The software will still work (and run much faster) without this option but this will hide any cache maintenance defects in the software. 3. Using the `-C bp.virtioblockdevice.image_path` parameter is not necessary if a Linux RAM-disk file-system is used (see the "Obtaining a root file-system" section above). 4. Setting the `-C bp.secure_memory` parameter to `1` is only supported on Base FVP versions 5.4 and newer. Setting this parameter to `0` is also supported. The `-C bp.tzc_400.diagnostics=1` parameter is optional. It instructs the FVP to provide some helpful information if a secure memory violation occurs. 5. The `--data=""@base address of binaries` parameter is used to load bootloader images in the Base FVP memory (see the "Building the Trusted Firmware" section above). The base address used to load the binaries with --data should match the image base addresses in platform_def.h used while linking the images. BL3-2 image is only needed if BL3-1 has been built to expect a secure-EL1 payload. ### Running on the AEMv8 Base FVP with reset to BL1 entrypoint Please read "Notes regarding Base FVP configuration options" section above for information about some of the options to run the software. The following `FVP_Base_AEMv8A-AEMv8A` parameters should be used to boot Linux with 8 CPUs using the ARM Trusted Firmware. /FVP_Base_AEMv8A-AEMv8A \ -C pctl.startup=0.0.0.0 \ -C bp.secure_memory=1 \ -C bp.tzc_400.diagnostics=1 \ -C cluster0.NUM_CORES=4 \ -C cluster1.NUM_CORES=4 \ -C cache_state_modelled=1 \ -C bp.pl011_uart0.untimed_fifos=1 \ -C bp.secureflashloader.fname="/" \ -C bp.flashloader0.fname="/" \ -C bp.virtioblockdevice.image_path="/" ### Running on the Cortex-A57-A53 Base FVP with reset to BL1 entrypoint Please read "Notes regarding Base FVP configuration options" section above for information about some of the options to run the software.

The Foundation FVP also supports these addresses when configured for GICv3 in GICv2 emulation mode. GICv2 Distributor Interface 0x2f000000 GICv2 CPU Interface 0x2c000000 GICv2 Virtual CPU Interface 0x2c010000 GICv2 Hypervisor Interface 0x2c02f000 The AEMv8 Base FVP can be configured to support GICv2 at addresses corresponding to the legacy (Versatile Express) memory map as follows. These are the default addresses when using the Foundation FVP in GICv2 mode. GICv2 Distributor Interface 0x2c001000 GICv2 CPU Interface 0x2c002000 GICv2 Virtual CPU Interface 0x2c004000 GICv2 Hypervisor Interface 0x2c006000 The choice of memory map is reflected in the build variant field (bits[15:12]) in the `SYS_ID` register (Offset `0x0`) in the Versatile Express System registers memory map (`0x1c010000`). * `SYS_ID.Build[15:12]` `0x1` corresponds to the presence of the Base GIC memory map. This is the default value on the Base FVPs. * `SYS_ID.Build[15:12]` `0x0` corresponds to the presence of the Legacy VE GIC memory map. This is the default value on the Foundation FVP. This register can be configured as described in the following sections. NOTE: If the legacy VE GIC memory map is used, then the corresponding FDT and BL3-3 images should be used. #### Configuring AEMv8 Foundation FVP GIC for legacy VE memory map The following parameters configure the Foundation FVP to use GICv2 with the legacy VE memory map: /Foundation_v8 \ --cores=4 \ --no-secure-memory \ --visualization \ --no-gicv3 \ --data="/"@0x0 \ --data="/"@0x8000000 \ --block-device="/" Explicit configuration of the `SYS_ID` register is not required. #### Configuring AEMv8 Base FVP GIC for legacy VE memory map The following parameters configure the AEMv8 Base FVP to use GICv2 with the legacy VE memory map. They must added to the parameters described in the "Running on the AEMv8 Base FVP" section above: -C cluster0.gic.GICD-offset=0x1000 \ -C cluster0.gic.GICC-offset=0x2000 \ -C cluster0.gic.GICH-offset=0x4000 \ -C cluster0.gic.GICH-other-CPU-offset=0x5000 \ -C cluster0.gic.GICV-offset=0x6000 \ -C cluster0.gic.PERIPH-size=0x8000 \ -C cluster1.gic.GICD-offset=0x1000 \ -C cluster1.gic.GICC-offset=0x2000 \ -C cluster1.gic.GICH-offset=0x4000 \ -C cluster1.gic.GICH-other-CPU-offset=0x5000 \ -C cluster1.gic.GICV-offset=0x6000 \ -C cluster1.gic.PERIPH-size=0x8000 \ -C gic_distributor.GICD-alias=0x2c001000 \ -C bp.variant=0x0 The `bp.variant` parameter corresponds to the build variant field of the `SYS_ID` register. Setting this to `0x0` allows the ARM Trusted Firmware to detect the legacy VE memory map while configuring the GIC. 8. Preparing the images to run on Juno --------------------------------------- ### Preparing Trusted Firmware images The Juno platform requires a BL3-0 image to boot up. This image contains the runtime firmware that runs on the SCP (System Control Processor). It can be downloaded from the [ARM Silver SCP website] (requires registration). Rebuild the Trusted Firmware specifying the BL3-0 image. Refer to the section "Building the Trusted Firmware". Alternatively, the FIP image can be updated manually with the BL3-0 image: fip_create --dump --bl30 / / ### Obtaining the Flattened Device Tree Juno's device tree blob is built along with the kernel. It is located in: /arch/arm64/boot/dts/juno.dtb ### Deploying a root filesystem on a USB mass storage device 1. Format the partition on the USB mass storage as ext4 filesystem. A 2GB or larger USB mass storage device is required. If another filesystem type is preferred then support needs to be enabled in the kernel. For example, if the USB mass storage corresponds to /dev/sdb device on your computer, use the following command to format partition 1 as ext4: sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1 Note: Please be cautious with this command as it could format your hard drive instead if you specify the wrong device. 2. Mount the USB mass storage on the computer (if not done automatically): sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb_storage where '/media/usb_storage' corresponds to the mount point (the directory must exist prior to using the mount command). 3. Download the rootfs specified in section "Prepare RAM-disk" and extract the files as root user onto the formatted partition: sudo tar zxf .tar.gz -C /media/usb_storage/ Note: It is not necessary to modify the Linaro image as described in that section since we are not using a RAM-disk. 5. Unmount the USB mass storage: sudo umount /media/usb_storage 9. Running the software on Juno -------------------------------- The steps to install and run the binaries on Juno are as follows: 1. Connect a serial cable to the UART0 port (the top UART port on the back panel). The UART settings are 115200 bauds, 8 bits data, no parity, 1 stop bit. 2. Mount the Juno board storage via the CONFIG USB port This is the only USB type B port on the board, labelled DBG_USB and located on the back panel next to the ON/OFF and HW RESET buttons. Plug a type B USB cable into this port on the Juno board and plug the other end into a host PC, and then issue the following command in the UART0 session: Cmd> usb_on If the board doesn't show the Cmd> prompt then press the black HW RESET button once. Once the Juno board storage is detected by your PC, mount it (if not automatically done by your operating system). mount /dev/sdbX /media/JUNO For the rest of the installation instructions, we will assume that the Juno board storage has been mounted under the /media/JUNO directory. 3. Copy the files obtained from the build process into /media/JUNO/SOFTWARE: bl1.bin fip.bin Image juno.dtb 4. Umount the Juno board storage umount /media/JUNO 5. Reboot the board. In the UART0 session, type: Cmd> reboot - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - _Copyright (c) 2013-2014, ARM Limited and Contributors.
