Select the TF-A and TF-A Tests 2.15 release series for Corstone1000 and update the FPGA and Cortex-A320 FVP documentation to reference the 2.15.0 recipe. Remove the TF-A Cortex-A320 and multicore patches and the TF-A Tests Cortex-A320 patch, as these changes are included upstream. Drop the obsolete TFA_MBEDTLS workaround. Add a patch to align the BL configuration mapping with the enclosing shared RAM page. ARM_FW_CONFIG_BASE follows the meminfo_t structure and is not page aligned, causing mmap_add_region_check() to reject the mapping with -EINVAL. Base the mapping at ARM_SHARED_RAM_BASE while preserving the firmware configuration load address and reserved space. Add a Corstone1000 BL2 hook that waits 25 ms after arm_io_setup() and before common GPT initialization when RESET_TO_BL2 and ARM_GPT_SUPPORT are enabled. Enable the system counter and initialize the delay timer before waiting, since their common initialization occurs later. Apply the hook to FPGA, Cortex-A35 FVP and Cortex-A320 FVP builds. The delay works around invalid MBR signatures observed during early flash access on MPS3 with TF-A 2.15. It retains the common GPT-before-MMU ordering and existing reset handling. This is a temporary timing workaround: the underlying cause remains under investigation, and 25 ms is a tested delay rather than a documented hardware requirement.

Introduction
This repository contains the Arm layers for OpenEmbedded.
-
meta-arm
This layer contains general recipes for the Arm architecture, such as firmware, FVPs, and Arm-specific integration.
-
meta-arm-bsp
This layer contains machines for Arm reference platforms, for example FVP Base, Corstone1000, and Juno.
-
meta-arm-toolchain
This layer contains recipes for Arm's binary toolchains (GCC and Clang for -A and -M), and a recipe to build Arm's GCC.
Other Directories
-
ci
This directory contains gitlab continuous integration configuration files (KAS yaml files) as well as scripts needed for this.
-
documentation
This directory contains information on the files in this repository, building, and other relevant documents.
-
kas
This directory contains KAS yaml files to describe builds for systems not used in CI.
-
scripts
This directory contains scripts used in running the CI tests.
Mailing List
To interact with the meta-arm developer community, please email the meta-arm mailing list at meta-arm@lists.yoctoproject.org. Currently, it is configured to only allow emails to members from those subscribed. To subscribe to the meta-arm mailing list, please go to https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/meta-arm
Contributing
Currently, we only accept patches from the meta-arm mailing list. For general information on how to submit a patch, please read https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded
E-mail meta-arm@lists.yoctoproject.org with patches created using this process. You can configure git-send-email to automatically use this address for the meta-arm repository with the following git command:
$ git config --local --add sendemail.to meta-arm@lists.yoctoproject.org
Commits and patches added should follow the OpenEmbedded patch guidelines:
https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Commit_Patch_Message_Guidelines
The component being changed in the shortlog should be prefixed with the layer name (without the meta- prefix), for example:
arm-bsp/trusted-firmware-a: decrease frobbing level
arm-toolchain/gcc: enable foobar v2
All contributions are under the MIT License.

For information on the continuous integration done on meta-arm and how to use it, go to continuous-integration-and-kas.md.
Backporting
Backporting patches to older releases may be done upon request, but only after a version of the patch has been accepted into the master branch. This is done by adding the branch name to email subject line. This should be between the square brackets (e.g., "[" and "]"), and before or after the "PATCH". For example,
[nanbield PATCH] arm/linux-yocto: backport patch to fix 6.5.13 networking issues
Automatic backporting will be done to all branches if the "Fixes: " wording is added to the patch commit message. This is similar to how the Linux kernel community does their LTS kernel backporting. For more information see the "Fixes" portion of https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#submittingpatches
