The Firmware Framework for Arm A-profile processors (FF-A)
|
|
|
|
describes interfaces (ABIs) that standardize communication
|
|
|
|
between the Secure World and Normal World leveraging TrustZone
|
|
|
|
technology.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The FF-A support in U-Boot is based on FF-A specification v1.0 and uses SMC32
|
|
|
|
calling convention.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
FF-A specification:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0077/a/?lang=en
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In U-Boot FF-A design, FF-A is considered as a discoverable bus.
|
|
|
|
FF-A bus is discovered using ARM_SMCCC_FEATURES mechanism performed
|
|
|
|
by the PSCI driver.
|
|
|
|
The Secure World is considered as one entity to communicate with
|
|
|
|
using the FF-A bus.
|
|
|
|
FF-A communication is handled by one device and one instance (the bus).
|
|
|
|
The FF-A support on U-Boot takes care of all the interactions between Normal
|
|
|
|
world and Secure World.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Generic FF-A methods are implemented in the Uclass (arm-ffa-uclass.c).
|
|
|
|
Arm specific methods are implemented in the Arm driver (arm-ffa.c).
|
|
|

|
|
|
FF-A sandbox is provided to run FF-A under sandbox and allows to test the FF-A Uclass.
|
|
|
|
Sandbox support includes an emulator for Arm FF-A which emulates the FF-A side of
|
|
|
|
the Secure World and provides FF-A ABIs inspection methods (ffa-emul-uclass.c).
|
|
|
|
An FF-A sandbox driver is also provided for FF-A communication with the emulated
|
|
|
|
Secure World (sandbox_ffa.c).
