The optee_os git, containing the source code for the TEE in Linux using the ARM(R) Trustzone(R) technology. This component meets the Global Platform TEE System Architecture specification. It also provides the TEE Internal API v1.0 as defined by the Global Platform TEE Standard for the development of trusted apllications. It is distributed mostly under the BSD 2-clause open-source license. It includes few external files under BSD 3-clause license or other free software licenses. For a general overview of OP-TEE, please see the Notice.md file.
In this git, the binary to build is tee.elf. The Trusted OS is accessible from the Rich OS (Linux) through the Global Platform TEE Client API and performs secure execution of applications inside the TEE.
The software is provided under the BSD 2-Clause license. BSD 3-Clause license.
This software has hardware dependencies. The software has been tested using:
- STMicroelectronics b2020-h416 (orly-2) hardware (32-bits)
- STMicroelectronics cannes family hardware (32-bits), on b2120. This includes both h310 and h410 chip.
- Some initial testing has been done using Foundation FVP, which can be downloaded free of charge.
We will strive to use the latest available compiler from Linaro. Start by downloading and unpacking the compiler. Then export the PATH to the bin folder.
$ cd $HOME
$ mkdir toolchains
$ cd toolchains

$ CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- make
Default build targets stm platform orly2. Compilation of cannes is performed using cannes flavor:
$ PLATFORM_FLAVOR=cannes CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- make
To build vexpress, one have to change the default platform using command:
$ PLATFORM=vexpress CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- make
To be able to see the full command when building you could build using following flag:
$ make V=1
In this project we are trying to adhere to the same coding convention as used in the Linux kernel (see CodingStyle). We achieve this by running checkpatch from Linux kernel. However there are a few exceptions that we had to make since the code also follows GlobalPlatform standards. The exceptions are as follows:
- CamelCase for GlobalPlatform types are allowed.
- And we also exclude checking third party code that we might use in this project, such as LibTomCrypt, MPA, newlib (not in this particular git, but those are also part of the complete TEE solution). The reason for excluding and not fixing third party code is because we would probably deviate too much from upstream and therefore it would be hard to rebase against those projects later on (and we don't expect that it is easy to convince other software projects to change coding style).
Since checkpatch is licensed under the terms of GNU GPL License Version 2, we
cannot include this script directly into this project. Therefore we have
written the Makefile so you need to explicitly point to the script by exporting
an environment variable, namely CHECKPATCH. So, suppose that the source code for
the Linux kernel is at $HOME/devel/linux, then you have to export like follows:
$ export CHECKPATCH=$HOME/devel/linux/scripts/checkpatch.pl
thereafter it should be possible to use one of the different checkpatch targets in the Makefile. There are targets for checking all files, checking against latest commit, against a certain base-commit etc. For the details, read the Makefile.
