TF-M Software requirements

To compile TF-M code, at least one of the supported compiler toolchains have to be available in the build environment. The currently supported compiler versions are:

  • ARM Compiler v6.7.1
  • ARM Compiler v6.9
  • ARM Compiler v6.10
  • ARM Compiler v6.11
  • GNU Arm compiler v6.3.1
  • GNU Arm compiler v7.3

Note The ARM compilers above are provided via Keil uVision v5.24.1 or greater, DS-5 v5.27.1 or greater, and Development Studio 2018.0, or they can be downloaded as standalone packages from here.

Note The GNU Arm compiler can be downloaded from here. On the page select GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain: 6-2017-q1-update or GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain: 7-2018-q2-update

Note In this version, you also need manually clone CMSIS_5 and mbedtls repositories at the same location where tfm repo is located.

Note ARM compiler specific environment variable may need updating based on specific products and licenses as explained in product-and-toolkit-configuration.

Linux

  • DS-5 v5.27.1.
  • Git tools v2.10.0
  • Cmake v3.7.0 https://cmake.org/download/
  • GNU Make v3.81
  • Python3, with the following libraries:
    • pycrypto
    • pyasn1
    • yaml
    • sudo apt-get install python3-crypto python3-pyasn1 python3-yaml
  • SRecord v1.58 (for Musca test chip boards)

Setup a shell to enable compiler toolchain and cmake after installation.

To import ARM Compiler v6.7.1 in your bash shell console:

export PATH=<DS-5_PATH>/sw/ARMCompiler6.7.1/bin:$PATH
export ARM_TOOL_VARIANT="ult"
export ARM_PRODUCT_PATH="<DS-5_PATH>/sw/mappings"
export ARMLMD_LICENSE_FILE="<LICENSE_FILE_PATH>"

To import cmake in your bash shell console:

export PATH=<CMAKE_PATH>/bin:$PATH

To import GNU Arm in your bash shell console:

export PATH=<GNU_ARM_PATH>/bin:$PATH

On Windows

  • uVision v5.24.1 or DS-5 v5.27.1 (DS-5 Ultimate Edition) which provides the ARM Compiler v6.7.1 compiler or GNU Arm compiler v6.3.1.
  • Git client latest version (https://git-scm.com/download/win)
  • Cmake v3.7.0 ( https://cmake.org/download/ )
  • Cygwin ( https://www.cygwin.com/ ). Tests done with version 2.877 (64 bits)
  • GNU make should be installed by selecting appropriate package during cygwin installation.
  • Python3(native Windows version), with the following libraries:
    • pycryptodome (pip3 install --user pycryptodome)
    • pyasn1 (pip3 install --user pyasn1)
    • pyyaml (pip3 install --user pyyaml)
  • Python3 pip
  • SRecord v1.63 (for Musca test chip boards)

Setup Cygwin to enable a compiler toolchain and cmake after installation.

If applicable, import ARM Compiler v6.7.1 in your shell console. To make this change permanent, add the command line into ~/.bashrc

DS5

export PATH="/cygdrive/c/<DS-5 path>/sw/ARMCompiler6.7.1/bin":$PATH
export ARM_PRODUCT_PATH="C:/<DS-5 path>/sw/mappings"

Keil

export PATH="/cygdrive/c/<uVison path>/ARM/ARMCLANG/bin":$PATH
export ARM_PRODUCT_PATH="C:/<uVison path>/ARM/sw/mappings"

Shared settings

export ARM_TOOL_VARIANT="ult"
export ARMLMD_LICENSE_FILE="<LICENSE_FILE_PATH>"

If applicable, import GNU Arm compiler v6.3.1 in your shell console. To make this change permanent, add the command line into ~/.bashrc

GNU Arm

export PATH=<GNU_ARM_PATH>/bin:$PATH

To import cmake in your bash shell console:

cmake

export PATH=/cygdrive/c/<CMAKE_PATH>/bin:$PATH
