TF-M Hello World

The TF-M Hello World sample is based on Hello World that demonstrates adding Trusted Firmware-M (TF-M) to an application.

Requirements

The sample supports the following development kits:

Hardware platforms

PCA

Board name

Build target

nRF9160 DK

PCA10090

nrf9160dk_nrf9160

nrf9160dk_nrf9160_ns

nRF5340 DK

PCA10095

nrf5340dk_nrf5340

nrf5340dk_nrf5340_cpuapp_ns

Overview

This sample uses the Platform Security Architecture (PSA) API to calculate a SHA-256 digest and the TF-M platform read service to read two FICR registers. The PSA API call is handled by the TF-M secure firmware.

Building and running

This sample can be found under samples/tfm/tfm_hello_world in the nRF Connect SDK folder structure.

To build the sample with Visual Studio Code, follow the steps listed on the Building nRF Connect SDK application quick guide page in the nRF Connect for VS Code extension documentation. See Building and programming an application for other building and programming scenarios and Testing and debugging an application for general information about testing and debugging in the nRF Connect SDK.

Testing

After programming the sample, the following output is displayed in the console:

Hello World! nrf5340dk_nrf5340_cpuapp
