stm32mp15 JTAG on m4 core with yocto5: optee permission failure

[Morandg]

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a custom board based on STM32MP157F-DK2. I am running Yocto 5.0.3 (scarthgap) with trusted boot (not signed).

I could build the Zephyr (3.7.0) rpmsg sample that worked out of the box:

https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/samples/subsys/ipc/openamp_rsc_table/README.html

Now the issue is when I tried to debug the m4 core with a JTAG, the board crashes, here is what I see on the Linux console:

 

E/TC:0 tzc_it_handler:79 TZC permission failure
E/TC:0 dump_fail_filter:420 Permission violation on filter 0
E/TC:0 dump_fail_filter:425 Violation @0xdeadbef0, non-secure privileged read, AXI ID 1
E/TC:0 Panic at core/arch/arm/plat-stm32mp1/plat_tzc400.c:84 <tzc_it_handler>
E/TC:0 TEE load address @ 0xde000000
E/TC:0 Call stack:
E/TC:0 0xde002961
E/TC:0 0xde017cd1
E/TC:0 0xde0046d7
E/TC:0 0xde0179f7
E/TC:0 0xde023679
E/TC:0 0xde000348

 

I started JLinkGDBServer with those parameters:

 

JLinkGDBServer -port 2331 -s -device STM32MP15XX_M4 -endian little -speed 4000 -vd -nohalt -noreset

 

I can see however that the debugger has a lot of errors while reading some CPU registers or memory area:

ERROR: Cannot read register 1 (R1) while CPU is running

Is there something that I'm missing in optee/ATF to allow JTAG debugging? Any pointers on the fine wiki?

Thanks and all the best!

You setup looks quite different from ST standard delivery. 

Scarthgap instead of Mikledore, JLinkGDBServer while CubeIDE only support STLink-OpenOCD.

Could you maybe further detail your setup and past experience with STM32MPU products? 

Thanks

Thanks @Olivier GALLIEN for your reply!

We use scarthgap because we want to deliver an LTS BSP for our customers. But the core components are the same as yours in mickledore, that means:

* TFA 2.8
* optee 3.19
* u-boot 2022.10
* kernel 6.1

It was working on our custom kirkstone BSP without optee, using JLink and CubeIDE

Some update on this issue:

I could debug my zephyr application using a STLINK-V3:

https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stlink-v3set.html

As documented on the Zephyr documentation, with ``west attach`` I could  debug as usual (set some break points, print the call stack, print variables values, ...)
