Hi
Anyone knows what is the status of standardizing firmware handoff (when starting BL33) ?
Here is a reference to the topic:
https://github.com/FirmwareHandoff/firmware_handoff
I would be interested in both standard text and standard implementation in TFA.
The context is portability of type-1 hypervisors that need to be fully in control of security and thus execute BL33 in an ad hoc "VM".
The rationale is to isolate everything that deals with devices or IO (at its core, a hypervisor deals only with CPU, RAM, MMU, SMMU, GIC).
Cheers
FF
PS: To explore how easy it is to boot a hypervisor with either booti, bootefi or BL33 I published a Rust tool (barekit) that can do precisely that (and much more as it can be used to create BL32 or even a Rust based FF-A implementation):

All,
I have not received any ideas for agenda for today.
I will cancel this meeting.
A heads up:
Meetings on Monday no longer fit for me.
We will need to make some change going forward.
I will talk thing over with others and get back to the list.
Thanks,
Bill

Hi,
EBBR v2.1.0 is now available.
This is a minor release of the EBBR specification.
Compared to v2.0.1, this release adds requirements on ESRT, EFI Conformance
Profile and DTB, and updates the RISC-V boot requirements.
https://github.com/ARM-software/ebbr/releases/tag/v2.1.0
Thanks to all the contributors.
Best regards,

All,
Next Monday the US will still be recovering/traveling from the holiday
extended weekend. So we will cancel the call.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone that celebrates.
Thanks,
Bill
