AN521 FVP soft reset via AIRCR does not reset MPC / PPC / MPU during PSA FF test
Open, Needs TriagePublic
Actions

Description

While trying to use the soft reset via AIRCR (CMSIS function: NVIC_SystemReset) on the AN521 FVP it was noticed that the bootloader would immediately crash. After debugging it was found that the reboot would work if it was done before the configuration of the MPC/PPC/MPU (appears to be any of the three that causes the issue). This appears to indicate that the security hardware is not being properly reset.

When tested on the MPS2 AN521, this issue did not occur. The reboot proceeds fine, and this is therefore probably a bug with the FVP

This is an issue on FVP. It will case the system cannot boot up after a warm reset. So as a workaround, we have to skip BL2 when testing.

The latest FVP claims to have resolved this problem. This needs to be re-tested on latest AN521 FVP.
