PROTOTYPE_README
1--------------------------------------------------------------------------
2Disclaimer: This branch contains prototype code which is for demonstrative
3purposes only and to serve as proof of concept. It is designed to allow
4prototyping of new features and any productization paths if taken
5forward would be delivered through the master branch.

8Getting Started
9===============
10
11These instructions will help to recreate the FF-A prototype running the SPMC in EL3.
12
13The end goal is to run a set of tests from a FF-A Test Driver via a userspace application
14to demonstrate functionality of the SPMC with the help of a single bare metal MP
15Partition running in S-EL1 and a logical partition running in EL3 alongside the SPMC on
16the AEM FVP Platform.
17
18Steps to clone the relevant repos
19=================================
20
21Note: These set of instructions assume you have a "Base Directory" where the
22various repositories can be checked out to.
23
24BASE_DIR=$(pwd)
25mkdir $BASE_DIR/out
26
27ATF_FFA_REL_PROTO_REPO=https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a.git
28ATF_FFA_EL3_SPMC_PROTO_BRANCH=topics/ffa_el3_spmc

31LINUX_FFA_EL3_SPMC_PROTO_BRANCH=ffa_el3_spmc
32
33
34# Clone Trusted Firmware-A Repo:
35git clone $ATF_FFA_REL_PROTO_REPO trusted-firmware-a
36cd $BASE_DIR/trusted-firmware-a
37git checkout $ATF_FFA_EL3_SPMC_PROTO_BRANCH
38cd $BASE_DIR

40# Clone Linux Kernel
41git clone $LINUX_FFA_EL3_SPMC_PROTO_REPO linux_kernel
42cd $BASE_DIR/linux_kernel
43git checkout $LINUX_FFA_EL3_SPMC_PROTO_BRANCH
44cd $BASE_DIR

48Prerequisites
49=============
50To exercise the tests in this prototype we require some prebuilt binaries. In testing these binaries have
51been sourced from the OP-TEE build system however any such images should work. For the purposes of these
52instructions they assume the following binaries are available in a $PREBUILTS_PATH directory:
53
54- EDK2 binary (FVP_AARCH64_EFI.fd)
55- Linux filesystem (rootfs.cpio.gz)
56- UEFI ram disk (boot-fat.uefi.img)
57
58Download FVP
59------------
60
61Download Armv8-A Base RevC AEM FVP from:
62https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/simulation-models/fixed-virtual-platforms/arm-ecosystem-models
63
64Extract into the `fvp` directory (the final file path should be
65$BASE_DIR/fvp/Base_RevC_AEMv8A_pkg/...)
66
67Toolchains
68----------
69The instructions expects aarch64 toolchain to be make available with the use of the CROSS_COMPILE variable e.g.
70export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
71
72Tested with gcc version 9.2.1 20191025

111
112
113Linux
114------
115Ensure that FFA support is enabled in the kernel config (CONFIG_ARM_FFA_TRANSPORT=y).
116
117make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=$CROSS_COMPILE defconfig -j$NO_CPUS
118make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=$CROSS_COMPILE -j$NO_CPUS
119
120cp arch/arm64/boot/Image $OUT/
121
122Assembling Images
123-----------------
124 - Copy the prebuilt userspace test binary ($TF_A_PATH/ioctl) to your filesystem. This is requried to interact
125 with the test FFA driver.
126 - Copy the modified filesystem image, linux kernel and FVP DTB to the UEFI ram disk ($OUT/boot-fat.uefi.img)
127
128
129Launching the FVP
130=================
131The FVP can then be launched with the following command. You should be able to observe output from the
132normal world, trusted firmware and S-EL1 TSP each on terminals 0, 1 & 2 respectively.

158Running the tests
159=================
160Once a shell has been reached the `ioctl` userspace application can be used to run some basic tests to verify
161the system has started correctly.
162
163The following tests are available:
164
165 1) Echo a message to the Physical SP and Back using direct req/resp
166 2) Send a direct request to the physical SP and ask it to send it's
167 own direct_req to the Logical SP and relay the message back again.
168 3) Share a single page of memory with the SP and ensure the contents
169 can be modified.
170 4) Share multiple pages requiring the memory descriptor to be split
171 over multiple invocations.
172 5) Lend a single page of memory with the SP and ensure the contents
173 can be modified.
174 6) Lend multiple pages requiring the memory descriptor to be split
175 over multiple invocations.
176 255) Run all of the above test cases.
