xtest fails on IMX8MPLUS

z23cc — Wed, 04 Sep 2024 02:49:45 GMT

On the imx8MPLUS-BB development board, install optee, run xtest on it, and the following error occurs below.

Later on, I modified r = ADBG_EXPECT_TEEC_RESULT(c, TEEC_ERROR_SECURITY, res) into r = ADBG_EXPECT_TEEC_RESULT(c, TEEC_ERROR_GENERIC, res), and then found the following problem again.

Very confused, don't know how to solve it

Best Regards!

Which version of BSP are you using?

Old thread and you probably don't care about the answer anymore, but maybe other folks would have the same issue and come upon this post.

In my case switching to another software revision seems to solve the issue. When I was on optee-os and x-test 6.6.52-2.2.0 ("4.4.0"), the test failed the same way as you presented. On optee-os and x-test 6.12.49-2.2.0 ("4.8.0") this is no longer reproducing.

Remember to use NXP github repos for optee and x-test if you are building from scratch:

- https://github.com/nxp-imx/imx-optee-os

Actually, this is the commit that fixed my issue (present on 6.12, not present on 6.6):

The buffer size is 8kB which is a bit large to reliably allocate from the heap, so decrease it to 1kB.
