Microchip TFA v2.8.17-mchp1 release

Description

This is a maintenance release for "Trusted Firmware for ARM" (TFA) from Microchip. It is based upon the "ARM Trusted Firmware" software from ARM Ltd.

This release is based upon the LTS 2.8.17 version.

This release fixes the following issues:

Changes

• nor: Timeouts could be seen when writing NOR images. This would happen during verification and would report a failed update, despite the update typically was fine.
• mmc: Timeouts could be seen when writing MMC images. This would happen during verification and would report a failed update, despite the update typically was fine.

Microchip TFA v2.8.17-mchp0 release

Description

This is a maintenance release for "Trusted Firmware for ARM" (TFA) from Microchip. It is based upon the "ARM Trusted Firmware" software from ARM Ltd.

This release is based upon the LTS 2.8.17 version.

As a new feature it adds support for firmware update of lan969x designs with no DDR. In this case download and flashing use only a small SRAM-based write buffer. Both raw and compressed images are supported, as well as firmware binding.

Changes

• build: Update BSP to 2024.06
• tfa: Updated to LTS 2.8.17
• lan969x: PCIe Endpoint Driver SerDes configuration update
• lan969x: PCIe Endpoint Driver TX Margin Update
• lan96xx: bind: Fix bind issue related to AES DMA padding.
• lan96xx: Extend BL2U with SRAM-based incremental download+write+verify
• lan96xx: Extend BL2U with SRAM-based FW bind - BSSK re-encrypt

Microchip TFA v2.8.8-mchp1 release

Description

This is a maintenance release for "Trusted Firmware for ARM" (TFA) from Microchip. It is based upon the "ARM Trusted Firmware" software from ARM Ltd.

This release is based upon the LTS 2.8.8 version.

The release mainly consist of optimizations towards using XDMA and implementing interleaved QSPI, AES, and SHA operations on lan969x, improving boot times.

Changes

• trng: Add timeout for getting new TRNG data
• sha: Use DMA for minor performance gains
• aes. Use DMA for minor performance gains
• qspi. Use DMA for minor performance gains
• lan969x: xdma: Add pipelined qspi/aes/sha read support
• lan966x: bl2: Lower stack use to 2K - still 1300 bytes unused

• lan966x: Use a default eMMC clock speed of 52MHz (SDR mode)
• lan969x: Use a default eMMC clock speed of 100MHz (HS mode)
• lan969x: An optimization in the io_block driver has been done to avoid CPU copying
• lan969x: PCIe Endpoint Driver support has been added
• lan969x: QSPI use DMA to move data for better performance
• lan969x: lan969x_lm platform variant has been added for LMSTAX no DDR, resilient dual fip support
• lan969x. TZ changes to expose SRAM, Silex crypto engine, etc to NS world after boot
