2016-07-29Replace fip_create with fiptooldp-arm
fiptool provides a more consistent and intuitive interface compared to the fip_create program. It serves as a better base to build on more features in the future. fiptool supports various subcommands. Below are the currently supported subcommands: 1) info - List the images contained in a FIP file. 2) create - Create a new FIP file with the given images. 3) update - Update an existing FIP with the given images. 4) unpack - Extract a selected set or all the images from a FIP file. 5) remove - Remove images from a FIP file. This is a new command that was not present in fip_create. To create a new FIP file, replace "fip_create" with "fiptool create". To update a FIP file, replace "fip_create" with "fiptool update". To dump the contents of a FIP file, replace "fip_create --dump" with "fiptool info". A compatibility script that emulates the basic functionality of fip_create is provided. Existing scripts might or might not work with the compatibility script. Users are strongly encouraged to migrate to fiptool.

2015-12-17FWU: Add documentation for Firmware Update featureYatharth Kochar
This patch adds design documentation for the Firmware Update (FWU) feature in `firmware-update.md`. It provides an overview of FWU, describes the BL1 SMC interface, and includes diagrams showing an example FWU boot flow and the FWU state machine. This patch also updates the existing TF documents where needed: * `porting-guide.md` * `user-guide.md` * `firmware-design.md` * `rt-svc-writers-guide.md` * `trusted_board_boot.md` Change-Id: Ie6de31544429b18f01327bd763175e218299a4ce Co-Authored-By: Dan Handley <dan.handley@arm.com>
2015-12-14Remove dashes from image names: 'BL3-x' --> 'BL3x'Juan Castillo
This patch removes the dash character from the image name, to follow the image terminology in the Trusted Firmware Wiki page: https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/wiki Changes apply to output messages, comments and documentation. non-ARM platform files have been left unmodified.

2015-12-14Replace all SCP FW (BL0, BL3-0) referencesJuan Castillo
This patch replaces all references to the SCP Firmware (BL0, BL30, BL3-0, bl30) with the image terminology detailed in the TF wiki (https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/wiki): BL0 --> SCP_BL1 BL30, BL3-0 --> SCP_BL2 bl30 --> scp_bl2 This change affects code, documentation, build system, tools and platform ports that load SCP firmware. ARM plaforms have been updated to the new porting API. IMPORTANT: build option to specify the SCP FW image has changed: BL30 --> SCP_BL2 IMPORTANT: This patch breaks compatibility for platforms that use BL2 to load SCP firmware. Affected platforms must be updated as follows: BL30_IMAGE_ID --> SCP_BL2_IMAGE_ID BL30_BASE --> SCP_BL2_BASE bl2_plat_get_bl30_meminfo() --> bl2_plat_get_scp_bl2_meminfo() bl2_plat_handle_bl30() --> bl2_plat_handle_scp_bl2() Change-Id: I24c4c1a4f0e4b9f17c9e4929da815c4069549e58
2015-06-25TBB: add authentication framework documentationJuan Castillo
This patch updates the user guide, adding instructions to build the Trusted Firmware with Trusted Board Support using the new framework. It also provides documentation about the framework itself, including a detailed section about the TBBR implementation using the framework. Change-Id: I0849fce9c5294cd4f52981e7a8423007ac348ec6
2015-03-05TBB: use SHA256 to generate the certificate signaturesJuan Castillo
This patch replaces SHA1 by SHA256 in the 'cert_create' tool, so certificate signatures are generated according to the NSA Suite B cryptographic algorithm requirements. Documentation updated accordingly. Change-Id: I7be79e6b2b62dac8dc78a4f4f5006e37686bccf6
2015-02-03TBB: Add documentation for Trusted Board BootAchin Gupta
This patch updates the user-guide.md with the various build options related to Trusted Board Boot and steps to build a FIP image which includes this support. It also adds a trusted-board-boot.md which describes the scope and design of this feature. Change-Id: Ifb421268ebf7e06a135684c8ebb04c94835ce061
