How to compile and run TF-M and example test application for CoreLink SSE-200 subsystem on the MPS2 board and on the Fast Model(FVP).
Follow build instruction to build the binaries.
The BL2 bootloader and TF-M example application and tests run correctly on SMM-SSE-200 for MPS2 (AN521) and on the Fixed Virtual Platform model FVP_MPS2_AEMv8M version 11.2.23.
Using FVP_MPS2_AEMv8M provided by DS-5 v5.27.1.
FVP reference guide can be found here
Add tfm_s.axf and tfm_ns.axf to symbol files in Debug Configuration menu.

To test TF-M with bootloader, one must apply the following changes:
mcuboot.axf to symbol files in DS-5 in Debug Configuration menu.cpu0.INITVTOR_S parameter and the last two lines of the previous command for this:... --parameter cpu0.INITVTOR_S=0x10000000 \ ... --application cpu0=<build_dir>/bl2/ext/mcuboot/mcuboot.axf \ --data cpu0=<build_dir>/app/tfm_sign.bin@0x10080000
FPGA image is available to download here
To run BL2 bootloader and TF-M example application and tests in the MPS2 board, it is required to have SMM-SSE-200 for MPS2 (AN521) image in the MPS2 board SD card. The image should be located in <MPS2 device name>/MB/HBI0263<board revision letter>/AN521
The MPS2 board tested is HBI0263C referred also as MPS2+.
Note: If you change the exe names, MPS2 expects file names in 8.3 format.

At the moment BL2 bootloader together with the TF-M examples application only shows following:
[INF] Starting bootloader [INF] Image 0: magic=good, copy_done=0xff, image_ok=0xff [INF] Scratch: magic=bad, copy_done=0x5, image_ok=0xcf [INF] Boot source: slot 0 [INF] Swap type: none [INF] Bootloader chainload address offset: 0x80000 [INF] Jumping to the first image slot [Sec Thread] Secure image initializing!
After completing the procedure you should be able to visualize on the serial port (baud 115200 8n1) the following messages:
[INF] Starting bootloader [INF] Image 0: magic=good, copy_done=0xff, image_ok=0xff [INF] Scratch: magic=bad, copy_done=0x5, image_ok=0xcf [INF] Boot source: slot 0 [INF] Swap type: none [INF] Bootloader chainload address offset: 0x80000 [INF] Jumping to the first image slot [Sec Thread] Secure image initializing! #### Execute test suites for the Secure area #### Running Test Suite SST secure interface tests (TFM_SST_TEST_2XXX)... > Executing 'TFM_SST_TEST_2001' Description: 'Create interface' TEST PASSED! > Executing 'TFM_SST_TEST_2002' Description: 'Get handle interface' TEST PASSED! > Executing 'TFM_SST_TEST_2003' Description: 'Get attributes interface' TEST PASSED! > Executing 'TFM_SST_TEST_2004' Description: 'Write interface' TEST PASSED! > Executing 'TFM_SST_TEST_2005' Description: 'Read interface' ....
Note: SST reliability tests may take more than 40 minutes to run on the MPS2.
BL2 bootloader is an integrated and ported version of an external project: MCUBoot. You can find further information about design and operation on its website or GitHub page. Its goal is to ensure that only authenticated software is allowed to run on the device. Bootloader is started when CPU is released from reset. It runs in secure state. Public key is built into the bootloader image. This is used when validating the digital signature of the TF-M payload. In case of successful authentication, bootloader passes execution to the secure image. Execution never returns to bootloader until next reset.
A default RSA key pair is stored in the repository, public key is in keys.c and private key is in root-rsa-2048.pem. DO NOT use them in production code, they are exclusively for testing! Private key must be stored in a safe place outside of the repository. Imgtool.py can be used to generate new key pairs.
The bootloader handles the secure and non-secure images as single binary blob which is contiguous in the device memory. At compile time these images are concatenated and signed with RSA-2048 digital signature. At the end of a successful build signed TF-M payload can be found here:
<build_dir>/app/tfm_sign.bin
The device memory is partitioned in the following way:
- 0x0000_0000 - 0x0007_FFFF: BL2 bootloader
- 0x0008_0000 - 0x000F_FFFF: Slot 0 : Single binary blob: Secure + Non-Secure
image; Primary memory partition
- 0x0008_0000 - 0x0008_01FF: Common image header
- 0x0008_0200 - 0x0008_xxxx: Secure image
- 0x0008_xxxx - 0x0010_01FF: Padding (with 0xFF)
- 0x0010_0200 - 0x0010_xxxx: Non-secure image
- 0x0010_xxxx - 0x0010_xxxx: Hash value(SHA256) and RSA signature
of combined image
- 0x0018_0000 - 0x0027_FFFF: Slot 1 : Secure + Non-Secure image; Secondary
memory partition, structured identically to slot
0
- 0x0028_0000 - 0x0037_FFFF: Scratch area, used during image swapping
Original image is stored in slot 0, always image in this memory partition is started by the bootloader. Therefore images must always be linked to slot 0 memory address. If bootloader finds a valid image in slot 1, which is marked for upgrade, contains a 4 bytes magic number at the end of the partition, then content of slot 0 and slot 1 will be swapped, before starting the new image from slot 0. Magic number in slot 1 is cleared during swap operation. Bootloader has a revert capability, in case of faulty firmware was upgraded and resistant against power-cut failures. These functionalities are described detailed in the original project documentation.
To test software upgrade functionality, two TF-M blobs are needed. Download old image to slot 0 and new image to slot 1. In the following example TF-M example application is used as old software and TF-M regression test is used as new software. Follow the previous instructions with small changes.

The same messages will be showed as in case of regression test with one difference, Swap type: none will be replaced with Swap type: test:
[INF] Image 0: magic=good, copy_done=0xff, image_ok=0xff [INF] Scratch: magic=bad, copy_done=0x5, image_ok=0xcf [INF] Boot source: slot 0 [INF] Swap type: test [INF] Bootloader chainload address offset: 0x80000 [INF] Jumping to the first image slot [Sec Thread] Secure image initializing! #### Execute test suites for the Secure area #### Running Test Suite SST secure interface tests (TFM_SST_TEST_2XXX)... ...
This indicates that software upgrade happened.
