Two documents are available for generation:
- Reference Manual (HTML, PDF)
- User Guide (HTML, PDF)
The documentation build is independent from building the binary artifacts.
These tools are used to generate TF-M documentation:
- Doxygen v1.8.0 or later
- Graphviz dot v2.38.0 or later
- PlantUML v1.2018.11 or later
- Java runtime environment v1.8 or later (for running PlantUML)
- Sphinx and other python modules, listed in
docs/requirements.txt
Additionally, for PDFs format:
- LaTeX
- PdfLaTeX
There are two ways of building TF-M reference manual:
- As a custom target of TF-M CMake build system
- Directly, using the command line tools
To prepare your building environment execute the following steps:
Linux
sudo apt-get install -y doxygen graphviz default-jre
mkdir ~/plantuml
curl -L http://sourceforge.net/projects/plantuml/files/plantuml.jar/download --output ~/plantuml/plantuml.jar
export PLANTUML_JAR_PATH=~/plantuml/plantuml.jar
# For PDF generation
sudo apt-get install -y doxygen-latex
# Install the required Python modules
pip3 install --upgrade pip
cd trusted-firmware-m
pip3 install -r docs/requirements.txt
Windows
Download and install the following tools:
- Doxygen 1.8.8
- Graphviz 2.38
- The Java runtime is part of the Arm DS installation or can be
downloaded from here
- PlantUML
- MikTeX - for PDF generation only
Set the environment variables, assuming that:
- doxygen, dot, and MikTeX binaries are available on the PATH.
- Java JVM is used from Arm DS installation.
set PLANTUML_JAR_PATH=<plantuml_Path>\plantuml.jar
set PATH=$PATH;<ARM_DS_PATH>\sw\java\bin
# Install the required Python modules
pip3 install --upgrade pip
cd trusted-firmware-m
pip3 install -r docs\requirements.txt
The Reference Manual will be generated in the build_docs/reference_manual
.
Linux
cd <TF-M base folder>
cmake -S docs -B build_docs
cmake --build build_docs -- tfm_docs_refman_html tfm_docs_refman_pdf
Windows
cd <TF-M base folder>
cmake -S docs -B build_docs -G"Unix Makefiles"
cmake --build build_docs -- tfm_docs_refman_html tfm_docs_refman_pdf
The User Manual will be available under the directory build_docs/user_guide
.
Linux
cd <TF-M base folder>
cmake -S docs -B build_docs
cmake --build build_docs -- tfm_docs_userguide_html tfm_docs_userguide_pdf
Windows
cd <TF-M base folder>
cmake -S docs -B build_docs -G"Unix Makefiles"
cmake --build build_docs -- tfm_docs_userguide_html tfm_docs_userguide_pdf
The direct build will build both user_guide and reference_manual.
Linux
# Build the documentation from build_docs directory
cd <TF-M base folder>
mkdir build_docs
cp docs/conf.py build_docs/conf.py
cd build_docs
sphinx-build ./ user_guide
Windows
# Command line tools is yet not available for Windows
