TF-M IPC
########

Overview
********

This is a simple TF-M integration example that can be used with an ARMv8-M
supported board.

It uses **IPC Mode** for communication, where TF-M API calls are made to the
secure image via an IPC mechanism, as opposed to **Library Mode**, where the
IPC mechanism is bypassed in favor of direct calls.

Zephyr uses Trusted Firmware (TF-M) Platform Security Architecture (PSA) APIs
to run this sample in a secure configuration, with Zephyr itself running in a
non-secure configuration.

The sample prints test info to the console either as a single-thread or
multi-thread application.

The sample reboots after 5 seconds to demonstrate rebooting with TF-M.
The sys_reboot call is routed to TF-M, since the nonsecure app is not allowed
to perform the reboot directly.

Building and Running
********************

This project outputs test status and info to the console. It can be built and
executed on MPS2+ AN521 and ST Nucleo L552ZE Q.

On MPS2+ AN521:
===============

#. Build Zephyr with a non-secure configuration (``-DBOARD=mps2_an521_ns``).

   .. code-block:: bash

      cd $ZEPHYR_ROOT/samples/tfm_integration/tfm_ipc/
      mkdir build
      cd build
      cmake -DBOARD=mps2_an521_ns ..
      make

You can also use west as follows:

   .. code-block:: bash

      $ west build -p -b mps2_an521_ns zephyr/samples/tfm_integration/tfm_ipc


#. Copy application binary files (mcuboot.bin and tfm_sign.bin) to ``<MPS2 device name>/SOFTWARE/``.
#. Open ``<MPS2 device name>/MB/HBI0263C/AN521/images.txt``. Edit the ``AN521/images.txt`` file as follows:

   .. code-block:: bash

      TITLE: Versatile Express Images Configuration File

      [IMAGES]
      TOTALIMAGES: 2 ;Number of Images (Max: 32)

      IMAGE0ADDRESS: 0x10000000
      IMAGE0FILE: \SOFTWARE\mcuboot.bin  ; BL2 bootloader

      IMAGE1ADDRESS: 0x10080000
      IMAGE1FILE: \SOFTWARE\tfm_sign.bin ; TF-M with application binary blob

#. Reset MPS2+ board.

If you get the following error when running cmake:

   .. code-block:: bash

      CMake Error at cmake/Common/FindGNUARM.cmake:121 (message):
      arm-none-eabi-gcc can not be found.  Either put arm-none-eabi-gcc on the
      PATH or set GNUARM_PATH properly.

You may need to edit the ``CMakeLists.txt`` file in the ``tfm_ipc`` project
folder to update the ``-DGNUARM_PATH=/opt/toolchain/arm-none-eabi`` path.

On QEMU:
========

The MPS2+ AN521 target (``mps2_an521_ns``), which is based on a
dual core ARM Cortex-M33 setup, also allows you to run TF-M tests using QEMU if
you don't have access to a supported ARMv8-M development board.

As part of the normal build process above, a binary is also produced that can
be run via ``qemu-system-arm``. The binary can be executed as follows:

   .. code-block:: bash

      qemu-system-arm -M mps2-an521 -device loader,file=tfm_merged.hex -serial stdio

You can also run the binary as part of the ``west`` build process by appending
the ``-t run`` flag to the end of your build command, or in the case of
ninja or make, adding the ``run`` commands:

   .. code-block:: bash

      $ west build -b mps2_an521_ns zephyr/samples/tfm_integration/tfm_ipc -t run

Or, post build:

   .. code-block:: bash

      $ ninja run

On ST Nucleo L552ZE Q or STM32L562E-DK Discovery:
=================================================

This sample was tested on Ubuntu 18.04 with Zephyr SDK 0.11.3.

Build Zephyr with a non-secure configuration:

   Example, for building non-secure configuration for Nucleo L552ZE Q

   .. code-block:: bash

      $ west build -b nucleo_l552ze_q_ns samples/tfm_integration/tfm_ipc/

   Example, for building non-secure configuration for STM32L562E-DK Discovery

   .. code-block:: bash

      $ west build -b stm32l562e_dk_ns samples/tfm_integration/tfm_ipc/

The script to initialize the device is avalaible in the ``build/tfm`` folder:

  - ``regression.sh``: Sets platform option bytes config and erase platform.

Run them in the following order to flash the board:

   .. code-block:: bash

      $ ./build/tfm/regression.sh
      $ west flash --hex-file build/tfm_merged.hex

 .. note::
      Note that ``arm-none-eabi-gcc`` should be available in the PATH variable and that ``STM32_Programmer_CLI`` is required to run ``regression.sh`` (see https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stm32cubeprog.html). If you are still having trouble running these scripts, check the Programming and Debugging section of the :ref:`nucleo_l552ze_q_board` or :ref:`stm32l562e_dk_board` documentation.

On LPCxpresso55S69:
===================

Build Zephyr with a non-secure configuration:

   .. code-block:: bash

      $ west build -p -b lpcxpresso55s69_ns samples/tfm_integration/tfm_ipc/ --

Make sure your board is set up with :ref:`lpclink2-jlink-onboard-debug-probe`,
since this isn't the debug interface boards ship with from the factory;

Next we need to manually flash the resulting image (``tfm_merged.bin``) with a
J-Link as follows:

   .. code-block:: console

      JLinkExe -device lpc55s69 -if swd -speed 2000 -autoconnect 1
      J-Link>r
      J-Link>erase
      J-Link>loadfile build/tfm_merged.bin

Resetting the board and erasing it will unlock the board, this is useful in case
it's in an unknown state and can't be flashed.

We need to reset the board manually after flashing the image to run this code.

On nRF5340 and nRF9160:
=======================

Build Zephyr with a non-secure configuration
(``-DBOARD=nrf5340dk_nrf5340_cpuapp_ns`` or ``-DBOARD=nrf9160dk_nrf9160ns``).

   Example, for nRF9160, using ``cmake`` and ``ninja``

   .. code-block:: bash

      cd <ZEPHYR_ROOT>/samples/tfm_integration/tfm_ipc/
      rm -rf build
      mkdir build && cd build
      cmake -GNinja -DBOARD=nrf9160dk_nrf9160ns ..

If building with BL2 (MCUboot bootloader) enabled, manually flash
the MCUboot bootloader image binary (``bl2.hex``).

   Example, using ``nrfjprog`` on nRF9160:

   .. code-block:: bash

      nrfjprg -f NRF91 --program tfm/bin/bl2.hex --sectorerase

Finally, flash the concatenated TF-M + Zephyr binary.

   Example, for nRF9160, using ``cmake`` and ``ninja``

   .. code-block:: bash

      ninja flash

On BL5340:
==========

Build Zephyr with a non-secure configuration
(``-DBOARD=bl5340_dvk_cpuapp_ns``).

   Example using ``cmake`` and ``ninja``

   .. code-block:: bash

      cd <ZEPHYR_ROOT>/samples/tfm_integration/tfm_ipc/
      rm -rf build
      mkdir build && cd build
      cmake -GNinja -DBOARD=bl5340_dvk_cpuapp_ns ..

Flash the concatenated TF-M + Zephyr binary.

   Example using ``west``

   .. code-block:: bash

      west flash --hex-file tfm_merged.hex
