STMicroelectronics STM32MP1 =========================== STM32MP1 is a microprocessor designed by STMicroelectronics based on a dual Arm Cortex-A7. It is an Armv7-A platform, using dedicated code from TF-A. The STM32MP1 chip also embeds a Cortex-M4. More information can be found on `STM32MP1 Series`_ page. Design ------ The STM32MP1 resets in the ROM code of the Cortex-A7. The primary boot core (core 0) executes the boot sequence while secondary boot core (core 1) is kept in a holding pen loop. The ROM code boot sequence loads the TF-A binary image from boot device to embedded SRAM. The TF-A image must be properly formatted with a STM32 header structure for ROM code is able to load this image. Tool stm32image can be used to prepend this header to the generated TF-A binary. At compilation step, BL2, BL32 and DTB file are linked together in a single binary. The stm32image tool is also generated and the header is added to TF-A binary. This binary file with header is named tf-a-stm32mp157c-ev1.stm32. It can then be copied in the first partition of the boot device.

Available storage medias are: - ``STM32MP_SDMMC`` - ``STM32MP_EMMC`` - ``STM32MP_RAW_NAND`` - ``STM32MP_SPI_NAND`` - ``STM32MP_SPI_NOR`` To build with SP_min and support for all bootable devices: .. code:: bash make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- PLAT=stm32mp1 ARCH=aarch32 ARM_ARCH_MAJOR=7 AARCH32_SP=sp_min STM32MP_SDMMC=1 STM32MP_EMMC=1 STM32MP_RAW_NAND=1 STM32MP_SPI_NAND=1 STM32MP_SPI_NOR=1 DTB_FILE_NAME=stm32mp157c-ev1.dtb cd make stm32mp15_trusted_defconfig make DEVICE_TREE=stm32mp157c-ev1 all To build TF-A with OP-TEE support for all bootable devices: .. code:: bash make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- PLAT=stm32mp1 ARCH=aarch32 ARM_ARCH_MAJOR=7 AARCH32_SP=optee STM32MP_SDMMC=1 STM32MP_EMMC=1 STM32MP_RAW_NAND=1 STM32MP_SPI_NAND=1 STM32MP_SPI_NOR=1 DTB_FILE_NAME=stm32mp157c-ev1.dtb cd make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- ARCH=arm PLATFORM=stm32mp1 CFG_EMBED_DTB_SOURCE_FILE=stm32mp157c-ev1.dts cd make stm32mp15_optee_defconfig make DEVICE_TREE=stm32mp157c-ev1 all The following build options are supported: - ``ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR``: To enable the stack protection. Populate SD-card ---------------- The SD-card has to be formated with GPT. It should contain at least those partitions: - fsbl: to copy the tf-a-stm32mp157c-ev1.stm32 binary - ssbl: to copy the u-boot.stm32 binary Usually, two copies of fsbl are used (fsbl1 and fsbl2) instead of one partition fsbl. .. _STM32MP1 Series: https://www.st.com/en/microcontrollers-microprocessors/stm32mp1-series.html
