1STMicroelectronics STM32MP1
2===========================
3
4STM32MP1 is a microprocessor designed by STMicroelectronics
5based on a dual Arm Cortex-A7.
6It is an Armv7-A platform, using dedicated code from TF-A.
7The STM32MP1 chip also embeds a Cortex-M4.
8More information can be found on `STM32MP1 Series`_ page.

11STM32MP1 Versions
12-----------------
13The STM32MP1 series is available in 3 different lines which are pin-to-pin compatible:
14
15- STM32MP157: Dual Cortex-A7 cores, Cortex-M4 core @ 209 MHz, 3D GPU, DSI display interface and CAN FD
16- STM32MP153: Dual Cortex-A7 cores, Cortex-M4 core @ 209 MHz and CAN FD
17- STM32MP151: Single Cortex-A7 core, Cortex-M4 core @ 209 MHz
18
19Each line comes with a security option (cryptography & secure boot) and a Cortex-A frequency option:
20
21- A      Basic + Cortex-A7 @ 650 MHz
22- C      Secure Boot + HW Crypto + Cortex-A7 @ 650 MHz
23- D      Basic + Cortex-A7 @ 800 MHz
24- F      Secure Boot + HW Crypto + Cortex-A7 @ 800 MHz

28Design
29------
30The STM32MP1 resets in the ROM code of the Cortex-A7.
31The primary boot core (core 0) executes the boot sequence while
32secondary boot core (core 1) is kept in a holding pen loop.
33The ROM code boot sequence loads the TF-A binary image from boot device
34to embedded SRAM.
35
36The TF-A image must be properly formatted with a STM32 header structure
37for ROM code is able to load this image.
38Tool stm32image can be used to prepend this header to the generated TF-A binary.
39
40At compilation step, BL2, BL32 and DTB file are linked together in a single
41binary. The stm32image tool is also generated and the header is added to TF-A
42binary. This binary file with header is named tf-a-stm32mp157c-ev1.stm32.
43It can then be copied in the first partition of the boot device.

94Build Instructions
95------------------
96Boot media(s) supported by BL2 must be specified in the build command.
97Available storage medias are:
98
99- ``STM32MP_SDMMC``
100- ``STM32MP_EMMC``
101- ``STM32MP_RAW_NAND``
102- ``STM32MP_SPI_NAND``
103- ``STM32MP_SPI_NOR``
104
105To build with SP_min and support for all bootable devices:
106
107.. code:: bash
108
109    make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- PLAT=stm32mp1 ARCH=aarch32 ARM_ARCH_MAJOR=7 AARCH32_SP=sp_min STM32MP_SDMMC=1 STM32MP_EMMC=1 STM32MP_RAW_NAND=1 STM32MP_SPI_NAND=1
110    STM32MP_SPI_NOR=1 DTB_FILE_NAME=stm32mp157c-ev1.dtb
111    cd <u-boot_directory>
112    make stm32mp15_trusted_defconfig
113    make DEVICE_TREE=stm32mp157c-ev1 all
114
115To build TF-A with OP-TEE support for all bootable devices:
116
117.. code:: bash
118
119    make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- PLAT=stm32mp1 ARCH=aarch32 ARM_ARCH_MAJOR=7 AARCH32_SP=optee STM32MP_SDMMC=1 STM32MP_EMMC=1 STM32MP_RAW_NAND=1 STM32MP_SPI_NAND=1 STM32MP_SPI_NOR=1 DTB_FILE_NAME=stm32mp157c-ev1.dtb
120    cd <optee_directory>
121    make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- ARCH=arm PLATFORM=stm32mp1 CFG_EMBED_DTB_SOURCE_FILE=stm32mp157c-ev1.dts
122    cd <u-boot_directory>
123    make stm32mp15_trusted_defconfig
124    make DEVICE_TREE=stm32mp157c-ev1 all
125
126
127The following build options are supported:
128
129- ``ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR``: To enable the stack protection.
130
131
132Populate SD-card
133----------------
134
135The SD-card has to be formated with GPT.
136It should contain at least those partitions:
137
138- fsbl: to copy the tf-a-stm32mp157c-ev1.stm32 binary
139- ssbl: to copy the u-boot.stm32 binary
140
141Usually, two copies of fsbl are used (fsbl1 and fsbl2) instead of one partition fsbl.
142
143OP-TEE artifacts go into separate partitions as follows:
144
145- teeh: tee-header_v2.stm32
146- teed: tee-pageable_v2.stm32
147- teex: tee-pager_v2.stm32
