For a full description of these features and their implementation details, please see the documents that are part of the Components and System Design chapters. The Change Log & Release Notes provides details of changes made since the last release. 1.1.1 Current features • Initialization of the secure world, for example exception vectors, control registers and interrupts for the platform. • Library support for CPU specific reset and power down sequences. This includes support for errata workarounds and the latest Arm DynamIQ CPUs. • Drivers to enable standard initialization of Arm System IP, for example Generic Interrupt Controller (GIC), Cache Coherent Interconnect (CCI), Cache Coherent Network (CCN), Network Interconnect (NIC) and Trust- Zone Controller (TZC). • A generic SCMI driver to interface with conforming power controllers, for example the Arm System Control Processor (SCP). • SMC (Secure Monitor Call) handling, conforming to the SMC Calling Convention using an EL3 runtime services framework. • PSCI library support for CPU, cluster and system power management use-cases. This library is pre-integrated with the AArch64 EL3 Runtime Software, and is also suitable for integration with other AArch32 EL3 Runtime Software, for example an AArch32 Secure OS. • A minimal AArch32 Secure Payload (SP_MIN) to demonstrate PSCI library integration with AArch32 EL3 Runtime Software. • Secure Monitor library code such as world switching, EL1 context management and interrupt routing. When a Secure-EL1 Payload (SP) is present, for example a Secure OS, the AArch64 EL3 Runtime Software must be integrated with a Secure Payload Dispatcher (SPD) component to customize the interaction with the SP. • A Test SP and SPD to demonstrate AArch64 Secure Monitor functionality and SP interaction with PSCI. • SPDs for the OP-TEE Secure OS, NVIDIA Trusted Little Kernel and Trusty Secure OS. • A Trusted Board Boot implementation, conforming to all mandatory TBBR requirements. This includes im- age authentication, Firmware Update (or recovery mode), and packaging of the various firmware images into a Firmware Image Package (FIP). • Pre-integration of TBB with the Arm CryptoCell product, to take advantage of its hardware Root of Trust and crypto acceleration services. 1 Trusted Firmware-A • Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) functionality, including – A Secure Partition Manager (SPM) to manage Secure Partitions in Secure-EL0, which can be used to implement simple management and security services. – An SDEI dispatcher to route interrupt-based SDEI events. – An Exception Handling Framework (EHF) that allows dispatching of EL3 interrupts to their registered handlers, to facilitate firmware-first error handling. • A dynamic configuration framework that enables each of the firmware images to be configured atruntimeif required by the platform. It also enables loading of a hardware configuration (for example, a kernel device tree) as part of the FIP, to be passed through the firmware stages. This feature is now incorporated inside the firmware configuration framework (fconf), which is still flagged as experimental. • Support for alternative boot flows, for example to support platforms where the EL3 Runtime Software isloaded using other firmware or a separate secure system processor, or where a non-TF-A ROM expects BL2 tobeloaded at EL3. • Support for the GCC, LLVM and Arm Compiler 6 toolchains. • Support for combining several libraries into a “romlib” image that may be shared across images to reduce memory footprint. The romlib image is stored in ROM but is accessed through a jump-table that may be stored in read- write memory, allowing for the library code to be patched. • Support for the Secure Partition Manager Dispatcher (SPMD) component as a new standard service. • Support for ARMv8.3 pointer authentication in the normal and secure worlds. The use of pointer authentication in the normal world is enabled whenever architectural support is available, without the need for additional build flags. Use of pointer authentication in the secure world remains an experimental configuration at this timeand requires the BRANCH_PROTECTION option to be set to non-zero. • Position-Independent Executable (PIE) support. Currently for BL2, BL31, and TSP, with further support to be added in a future release. 1.1.2 Still to come • Support for additional platforms. • Refinements to Position Independent Executable (PIE) support. • Continued support for the FF-A v1.0 (formally known as SPCI) specification, to enable the use of secure partition management in the secure world. • Documentation enhancements. • Ongoing support for new architectural features, CPUs and System IP. • Ongoing support for new Arm system architecture specifications. • Ongoing security hardening, optimization and quality improvements.

About Trusted Firmware-A 1.2 Release Processes 1.2.1 Project Release Cadence The project currently aims to do a release once every 6 months which will be tagged on the master branch. There will be a code freeze (stop merging non-essential changes) up to 4 weeks prior to the target release date. The release candidates will start appearing after this and only bug fixes or updates required for the release will be merged. The maintainers are free to use their judgement on what changes are essential for the release. A release branch may be created after code freeze if there are significant changes that need merging onto the integration branch during the merge window. The release testing will be performed on release candidates and depending on issues found, additional release candidates may be created to fix the issues. |<----------6 months---------->| |<---4 weeks--->||<---4 weeks--->| +-----------------------------------------------------------> time |||| code freeze ver w.x code freeze ver y.z Upcoming Releases These are the estimated dates for the upcoming release.

    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 16 July 2021 doi:10.20944/preprints202107.0375.v1 Review Low-power Ultra-small Edge AI Accelerators for Image Recog- nition with Convolution Neural Networks: Analysis and Future Directions Weison Lin 1, *, Adewale Adetomi 1 and Tughrul Arslan 1 1 Institute for Integrated Micro and Nano Systems, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh EH9 3FF, UK; [email protected]; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Edge AI accelerators have been emerging as a solution for near customers’ applications in areas such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), image recognition sensors, wearable devices, ro- botics, and remote sensing satellites. These applications not only require meeting performance tar- gets but also meeting strict reliability and resilience constraints due to operations in harsh and hos- tile environments. Numerous research articles have been proposed, but not all of these include full specifications. Most of these tend to compare their architecture with other existing CPUs, GPUs, or other reference research. This implies that the performance results of the articles are not compre- hensive. Thus, this work lists the three key features in the specifications such as computation ability, power consumption, and the area size of prior art edge AI accelerators and the CGRA accelerators during the past few years to define and evaluate the low power ultra-small edge AI accelerators. We introduce the actual evaluation results showing the trend in edge AI accelerator design about key performance metrics to guide designers on the actual performance of existing edge AI acceler- ators’ capability and provide future design directions and trends for other applications with chal- lenging constraints.
