Running TrustZone

Note: This was originally posted on 4th January 2013 at http://forums.arm.com

Hallo,

I'm trying to run the TrustZone example from DS-5. And it's working with the RTSM-VE-A9x4. But this is just a simulation, isn't it. Because I do not have to power up DSTREAM and my board.
So I tried some more to run the example on the Xilinx Zynq board which has a ARM Cortex A9 DualCore.

BUT: If I'm using "Debug Cortex_A9_0 via DSTREAM/RVI" from Xilinx-Zynq-7000 EEP ZC702 its not working anymore. I used the connection with a hello world program before so it's defiantly the right connection. I also added

add-symbol-file "${workspace_loc:/TrustZone/normal.axf}" N:0

in execute debugger commands like it is in the RTSM version.
Nevertheless I get the following error if I want to debug the software on the ARM.

ERROR(CMD16-TAD11-NAL22):
! Failed to load "TrustZone-versatile.axf"
! Failed to write 4.872 bytes to address S:0x80000000
! General error on memory or register access.


I know the example was written for versatile express, but its also just a Cortex A9. So where is the difference? What did I forgot to change? I would be happy about some ideas.

    Your problem is that the two boards probably have different memory maps.  So the Versatile has RAM at 0x80000000, I'm guessing the Xilinx board has it somewhere else.
    The example will be making assumptions about where things like RAM are, for example to allocate stack memory.  As the two boards are different it's falling over (looks like while trying to load)
    When you're working with apps, the OS hides the differences between systems (true for ARM, x86, etc...).  But when you have bare metal code you'll need to do some level of porting when moving code from one board to another.  At the most basic, re-link to match the address of memory.
    The example you're using is quiet simple.  So I suspect it wouldn't take too much effort to port.  Probably just need to change the scatter files and re-link.
