Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A) provides a reference implementation of secure world
|
|
software for `Armv7-A and Armv8-A`_, including a `Secure Monitor`_ executing
|
|
at Exception Level 3 (EL3). It implements various Arm interface standards,
|
|
such as:
|
|
|
|
- The `Power State Coordination Interface (PSCI)`_
|
|
- `Trusted Board Boot Requirements CLIENT (TBBR-CLIENT)`_
|
|
- `SMC Calling Convention`_
|
|
- `System Control and Management Interface (SCMI)`_
|
|
- `Software Delegated Exception Interface (SDEI)`_
|
|
|
|
Where possible, the code is designed for reuse or porting to other Armv7-A and
|
|
Armv8-A model and hardware platforms.
|
|
|
|
This release provides a suitable starting point for productization of secure
|
|
world boot and runtime firmware, in either the AArch32 or AArch64 execution
|
|
states.
|
|
|
|
Users are encouraged to do their own security validation, including penetration
|
|
testing, on any secure world code derived from TF-A.
|
|
|
|
In collaboration with interested parties, we will continue to enhance |TF-A|
|
|
with reference implementations of Arm standards to benefit developers working
|
|
with Armv7-A and Armv8-A TrustZone technology.
|
|
|
|
Getting Started
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
The |TF-A| documentation contains guidance for obtaining and building the
|
|
software for existing, supported platforms, as well as supporting information
|
|
for porting the software to a new platform.
|
|
|
|
The **About** chapter gives a high-level overview of |TF-A| features as well as
|
|
some information on the project and how it is organized.
|
|
|
|
Refer to the documents in the **Getting Started** chapter for information about
|
|
the prerequisites and requirements for building |TF-A|.
|
|
|
|
The **Processes & Policies** chapter explains the project's release schedule
|
|
and process, how security disclosures are handled, and the guidelines for
|
|
contributing to the project (including the coding style).
|
|
|
|
The **Components** chapter holds documents that explain specific components
|
|
that make up the |TF-A| software, the :ref:`Exception Handling Framework`, for
|
|
example.
|
|
|
|
In the **System Design** chapter you will find documents that explain the
|
|
design of portions of the software that involve more than one component, such
|
|
as the :ref:`Trusted Board Boot` process.
|
|
|
|
**Platform Ports** provides a list of the supported hardware and software-model
|
|
platforms that are supported upstream in |TF-A|. Most of these platforms also
|
|
have additional documentation that has been provided by the maintainers of the
|
|
platform.
|
|
|
|
The results of any performance evaluations are added to the
|
|
**Performance & Testing** chapter.
|
|
|
|
**Security Advisories** holds a list of documents relating to |CVE| entries that
|
|
have previously been raised against the software.
