Trusted Firmware M provides a reference implementation of the Platform Security
Architecture (PSA) specifications, aligning with PSA Certified guidelines.
It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the specifications that can be
found
`here <https://developer.arm.com/architectures/security-architectures/platform-security-architecture>`__.

The current TF-M implementation on Armv8-M leverages TrustZone for Armv8-M so a
good understanding of the v8-M architecture is also necessary. A good place to
get started with Armv8-M is
`developer.arm.com <https://developer.arm.com/architectures/cpu-architecture/m-profile>`__.

**************************
Build and run instructions
**************************
Trusted Firmware M source code is available on
`git.trustedfirmware.org <https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m.git/>`__.

To build & run TF-M:

    - Follow the this guide to set up and check your environment.
    - Follow the
      :doc:`Build instructions </building/tfm_build_instruction>`
      to compile and build the TF-M source.
    - Follow the :doc:`Run TF-M examples on Arm platforms </building/run_tfm_examples_on_arm_platforms>`
      for information on running the example.

To port TF-M to a another system or OS, follow the
:doc:`OS Integration Guide </integration_guide/index>`

:doc:`Contributing Process </contributing/contributing_process>` contains guidance on how to
contribute to this project.

#########################
Set up build environments
#########################

TF-M officially supports a limited set of build environments and setups. In
this context, official support means that the environments listed below
are actively used by team members and active developers, hence users should
be able to recreate the same configurations by following the instructions
described below. In case of problems, the TF-M team provides support
only for these environments, but building in other environments can still be
possible.

The following environments are supported:

.. tabs::

    .. group-tab:: Linux

        1. version supported:

           Ubuntu 18.04 x64+

        2. install dependencies:

        .. code-block:: bash

            sudo apt-get install -y git curl wget build-essential libssl-dev python3 \
            python3-pip cmake make

        3. verify cmake version:

        .. code-block:: bash

            cmake --version

        .. note::

            Please download CMake version 3.21 or later from https://cmake.org/download/.

        4. add CMake path into environment:

        .. code-block:: bash

            export PATH=<CMake path>/bin:$PATH

    .. group-tab:: Windows

        1. version supported:

           Windows 10 x64

        2. install dependencies:

        - Git client latest version (https://git-scm.com/download/win)
        - CMake version 3.21 or later (`native Windows version <https://cmake.org/download/>`__)
        - GNU make (http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm)
        - Python3 `(native Windows version) <https://www.python.org/downloads/>`__ and
          the pip package manager (from Python 3.4 it's included)

        3. add CMake path into environment:

        .. code-block:: bash

            set PATH=<CMake_Path>\bin;%PATH%

###########################

Build AN521 regression sample
#############################

Here, we take building TF-M for AN521 platform with regression tests using GCC
as an example:

.. tabs::

    .. group-tab:: Linux

        Get the TF-M tests source code:

        .. code-block:: bash

            git clone https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-M/tf-m-tests.git

        Build SPE and NSPE.

        .. code-block:: bash

            cd </tf-m-tests/tests_reg>
            cmake -S spe -B build_spe -DTFM_PLATFORM=arm/mps2/an521 -DCONFIG_TFM_SOURCE_PATH=<TF-M source dir absolute path> \
                  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DTFM_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<TF-M source dir absolute path>/toolchain_GNUARM.cmake \
                  -DTEST_S=ON -DTEST_NS=ON \
            cmake --build build_spe -- install

            cmake -S . -B build_test -DCONFIG_SPE_PATH=<tf-m-tests absolute path>/tests_reg/build_spe/api_ns \
                  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DTFM_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<tf-m-tests absolute path>/tests_reg/build_spe/api_ns/cmake/toolchain_ns_GNUARM.cmake
            cmake --build build_test

    .. group-tab:: Windows

        .. important::
            Use "/" instead of "\\" when assigning Windows paths to CMAKE
            variables, for example, use "c:/build" instead of "c:\\\\build".

        Get the TF-M tests source code:

        .. code-block:: bash

            git clone https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-M/tf-m-tests.git

        Build SPE and NSPE.

        .. code-block:: bash

            cd </tf-m-tests/tests_reg>
            cmake -G"Unix Makefiles" -S spe -B build_spe -DTFM_PLATFORM=arm/mps2/an521 -DCONFIG_TFM_SOURCE_PATH=<TF-M source dir absolute path> \

            cmake --build build_test

        .. note::
           The latest Windows support long paths, but if you are less lucky
           then you can reduce paths by moving the build directory closer to
           the root by changing the ``-B`` option of the commands,  for example,
           to ``C:\build_spe`` and ``C:\build_test`` folders.

###########################
Run AN521 regression sample
###########################

Run the sample code on SSE-200 Fast-Model, using FVP_MPS2_AEMv8M provided by
Arm Development Studio.

.. note::

    Arm Development Studio is not essential to develop TF-M, you can skip this
    section if don't want to try on Arm develop boards.

.. tabs::

    .. group-tab:: Linux

        1. install Arm Development Studio to get the fast-model.

           Download Arm Development Studio from `here <https://developer.arm.com/Tools%20and%20Software/Arm%20Development%20Studio#Downloads>`__.

        2. Add ``bl2.axf`` and ``tfm_s_ns_signed.bin`` to symbol files in Debug
           Configuration menu.

        .. code-block:: bash

            <DS_PATH>/sw/models/bin/FVP_MPS2_AEMv8M  \

            --data cpu0=<build_test>/tfm_s_ns_signed.bin@0x10080000

        .. note::

           The log is output to telnet by default.
           It can be also redirected to stdout by adding the following parameter.

           .. code-block:: bash

               --parameter fvp_mps2.UART0.out_file=/dev/stdout

           To automatically terminate the fast-model when it finishes running,
           you can add the following parameters:

           .. code-block:: bash

               --parameter fvp_mps2.UART0.shutdown_on_eot=1

    .. group-tab:: Windows

        1. install Arm Development Studio to get the fast-model.

           Download Arm Development Studio from `here <https://developer.arm.com/Tools%20and%20Software/Arm%20Development%20Studio#Downloads>`__.

        2. Add ``bl2.axf`` and ``tfm_s_ns_signed.bin`` to symbol files in Debug
           Configuration menu.

        .. code-block:: bash

            <DS_PATH>\sw\models\bin\FVP_MPS2_AEMv8M  \
            --parameter fvp_mps2.platform_type=2 \

            --data cpu0=<build_test>/tfm_s_ns_signed.bin@0x10080000

        .. note::

           To automatically terminate the fast-model when it finishes running,
           you can add the following parameters:

           .. code-block:: bash

               --parameter fvp_mps2.UART0.shutdown_on_eot=1

After completing the procedure you should see the following messages on the
DAPLink UART (baud 115200 8n1)::
