Porting

Porting the TF-A Tests to a new platform involves making some mandatory and optional modifications for both the cold and warm boot paths. Modifications consist of:

  • Implementing a platform-specific function or variable,

  • Setting up the execution context in a certain way, or

  • Defining certain constants (for example #defines).

The platform-specific functions and variables are all declared in include/plat/common/platform.h. The framework provides a default implementation of variables and functions to fulfill the optional requirements. These implementations are all weakly defined; they are provided to ease the porting effort. Each platform port can override them with its own implementation if the default implementation is inadequate.
