| Prerequisites & Requirements |
| ============================ |
| |
| This document describes the software and hardware requiremnts for building TF-A |
| Tests for AArch32 and AArch64 target platforms. |
| |
| It may be possible to build TF-A Tests with combinations of software and |
| hardware that are different from those listed below. The software and hardware |
| described in this document are officially supported. |
| |
| Build Host |
| ---------- |
| |
| TF-A Tests may be built using a Linux build host machine with a recent Linux |
| distribution. We have performed tests using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (64-bit), but other |
| distributions should also work fine, provided that the tools and libraries |
| can be installed. |
| |
| Toolchain |
| --------- |
| |
| Install the required packages to build TF-A Tests with the following command: |
| |
| :: |
| |
| sudo apt-get install device-tree-compiler build-essential git python3 |
| |
| Note that at least Python 3.8 is required. |
| |
| Download and install the GNU cross-toolchain from Arm. The TF-A Tests have |
| been tested with version 13.2.Rel1 (gcc 13.2): |
| |
| - `GCC cross-toolchain`_ |
| |
| In addition, the following optional packages and tools may be needed: |
| |
| - For debugging, Arm `Development Studio (Arm-DS)`_. |
| |
