1. Building TF-M

Prepare the tf-m-tests repository inside the TF-M base folder.

cd <TF-M base folder>
git clone https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-M/tf-m-tests.git

There are two options for the TF-M build - with or without secondary bootloader (BL2).

1.1 Building TF-M demo with BL2

To build S and NS application image with BL2, run the following commands:

cd <TF-M base folder>/tf-m-test/tests_reg
cmake -S spe -B build_spe \
    -DTFM_PLATFORM=nxp/frdmmcxa577 \
    -DCONFIG_TFM_SOURCE_PATH=<TF-M base folder>/trusted-firmware-m \
    -G "Unix Makefiles" \
    -DBL2=ON \
    -DTFM_BL2_LOG_LEVEL=LOG_LEVEL_INFO
cmake --build build_spe -- install
cmake -S . -B build_test -G"Unix Makefiles" \
    -DCONFIG_SPE_PATH=<TF-M base folder>/tf-m-tests/tests_reg/build_spe/api_ns
cmake --build build_test

1.2 Building TF-M demo without BL2

To build S and NS application image without a BL2, run the following commands:

cd <TF-M base folder>/tf-m-test/tests_reg
cmake -S spe -B build_spe -DTFM_PLATFORM=nxp/frdmmcxa577 \
      -DCONFIG_TFM_SOURCE_PATH=<TF-M base folder>/trusted-firmware-m \
      -G"Unix Makefiles" \
      -DBL2=OFF
cmake --build build_spe -- install
cmake -S . -B build_test -G"Unix Makefiles" \
      -DCONFIG_SPE_PATH=<TF-M base folder>/tf-m-tests/tests_reg/build_spe/api_ns
cmake --build build_test

1.3 Building TF-M regression tests

To build the S and NS regression tests without BL2, run the following commands:

  • Profile Medium:

cd <TF-M base folder>/tf-m-test/tests_reg
cmake -S spe -B build_spe -DTFM_PLATFORM=nxp/frdmmcxa577 \
      -DCONFIG_TFM_SOURCE_PATH=<TF-M base folder>/trusted-firmware-m \
      -G"Unix Makefiles" \
      -DTFM_PROFILE=profile_medium \
      -DTEST_S=ON  \
      -DTEST_NS=ON \
      -DBL2=OFF
cmake --build build_spe -- install
cmake -S . -B build_test -G"Unix Makefiles" \
      -DCONFIG_SPE_PATH=<TF-M base folder>/tf-m-tests/tests_reg/build_spe/api_ns
cmake --build build_test

1.4 Building TF-M regression tests with BL2

To build the S and NS regression tests With BL2, run the following commands:

  • Profile Medium:

cd <TF-M base folder>/tf-m-test/tests_reg
cmake -S spe -B build_spe -DTFM_PLATFORM=nxp/frdmmcxa577 \
      -DCONFIG_TFM_SOURCE_PATH=<TF-M base folder>/trusted-firmware-m \
      -G"Unix Makefiles" \
      -DTFM_PROFILE=profile_medium \
      -DTEST_S=ON \
      -DTEST_NS=ON \
      -DBL2=ON \
      -DTFM_BL2_LOG_LEVEL=LOG_LEVEL_INFO
cmake --build build_spe -- install
cmake -S . -B build_test -G"Unix Makefiles" \
      -DCONFIG_SPE_PATH=<TF-M base folder>/tf-m-tests/tests_reg/build_spe/api_ns
cmake --build build_test

  • Profile Small:

cd <TF-M base folder>/tf-m-test/tests_reg
cmake -S spe -B build_spe_small -DTFM_PLATFORM=nxp/frdmmcxa577 \
    -DCONFIG_TFM_SOURCE_PATH=C:/Code/tfm-upstream/trusted-firmware-m \
    -G"Unix Makefiles"          \
    -DBL2=ON                    \
