+# TEE subsystem (API)
+
+Header: **`components/drivers/include/drivers/tee.h`**. Core: **`components/drivers/tee/tee.c`**.
+
+The TEE layer provides a **GlobalPlatform-style** client API for talking to a **Trusted Execution Environment** from the normal world. Hardware or firmware backends implement **`rt_tee_ops`** (version query, session management, command invocation, shared memory registration). The core serializes access with a per-device mutex, tracks registered shared-memory objects, and registers a searchable device node (`tee0`, `tee1`, …).
+
+An **OP-TEE** backend lives under **`components/drivers/tee/optee/`** and is selected when **`RT_TEE_OPTEE`** is enabled.
+
+Requires **`RT_USING_TEE`** (Kconfig) and **`RT_USING_DM`**.
+
+---
+
+## When to use this API
+
+| Use TEE when… | Prefer something else when… |
+| --- | --- |
+| The platform runs **OP-TEE** (or another GP-compliant TEE) and exposes **Trusted Applications (TAs)**. | Secrets can stay in normal-world software with adequate isolation — no TEE required. |
+| You need **crypto, secure storage, or RNG** inside a TA with a defined UUID/command model. | Single-purpose on-chip crypto — a dedicated **hwcrypto** driver may suffice. |
+| Firmware provides a DT node such as **`linaro,optee-tz`**. | No secure world firmware — enable and port a TEE OS first. |
+
+---
+
+## Enable in menuconfig
+
+```text
+RT-Thread Components →
+ Device Drivers →
+ [*] Using Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) support
+ [*] OP-TEE # ARCH_ARM_CORTEX_A || ARCH_ARMV8
+ [*] Examples # FinSH command optee_example_rng
+```
+
+SoC-specific backends may be added under **`$(SOC_DM_TEE_DIR)/Kconfig`** when present.
+
+---
+
+## Roles
+
+| Role | Responsibility |
+| --- | --- |
+| **TEE backend driver** | Embeds **`struct rt_tee_device`**, fills **`rt_tee_ops`**, calls **`rt_tee_device_register`**. Translates GP requests to SMC/HVC, mailbox, or other transport. |
+| **Client / TA user** | Finds **`tee0`**, opens a session to a TA UUID, registers shared memory, invokes TA commands. Checks both **`rt_err_t`** (transport) and **`arg->ret`** (TEE status). |
+
+The core registers each device as **`RT_Device_Class_Char`** with **`RT_DEVICE_FLAG_DEACTIVATE`**. There is **no** generic `read`/`write`/`control` path in **`tee.c`** — use the **`rt_tee_*`** helpers.
+
+All public entry points take **`tdev->mutex`** except registration helpers.
+
+---
+
+## Data structures
+
+### Device object
+
+```c
+struct rt_tee_device {
+ struct rt_device parent;
+ rt_list_t shm_nodes; /* registered struct rt_tee_shm */
+ const struct rt_tee_ops *ops;
+ struct rt_mutex mutex;
+};
+
+#define rt_device_to_tee_device(dev) rt_container_of(dev, struct rt_tee_device, parent)
+```
+
+### Version and capabilities
+
+```c
+struct rt_tee_version {
+ rt_uint32_t impl_id; /* TEE_IMPL_ID_OPTEE, TEE_IMPL_ID_AMDTEE, … */
+ rt_uint32_t impl_caps; /* e.g. TEE_OPTEE_CAP_TZ */
+ rt_uint32_t gen_caps; /* TEE_GEN_CAP_GP, TEE_GEN_CAP_REG_MEM, … */
+};
+```
+
+### Parameters (open session / invoke)
+
+Parameters follow GlobalPlatform attribute encoding:
+
+| `attr` | Meaning |
+| --- | --- |
+| `TEE_PARAM_ATTR_TYPE_NONE` | Unused slot |
+| `TEE_PARAM_ATTR_TYPE_VALUE_IN/OUT/IN_OUT` | Three 64-bit values in **`value.a/b/c`** |
+| `TEE_PARAM_ATTR_TYPE_MEMREF_IN/OUT/IN_OUT` | Shared memory reference via **`memref.shm`**, offset, size |
+
+Flexible arrays append parameters to the end of open/invoke argument blocks:
+
+```c
+struct rt_tee_open_session_arg {
+ rt_uint8_t uuid[16];
+ rt_uint8_t clnt_uuid[16];
+ rt_uint32_t clnt_login;
+ rt_uint32_t cancel_id;
+ rt_uint32_t session; /* output: session id from TEE */
+ rt_uint32_t ret; /* output: TEE result code */
+ rt_uint32_t ret_origin; /* output: RT_TEE_ORIGIN_* */
+ rt_uint32_t params_nr;
+ struct rt_tee_param params[];
+};
+
+struct rt_tee_invoke_arg {
+ rt_uint32_t func;
+ rt_uint32_t session;
+ rt_uint32_t cancel_id;
+ rt_uint32_t ret;
+ rt_uint32_t ret_origin;
+ rt_uint32_t params_nr;
+ struct rt_tee_param params[];
+};
+```
+
+### Shared memory
+
+```c
+struct rt_tee_shm {
+ rt_list_t list;
+ struct rt_tee_device *tdev;
+ void *vaddr;
+ rt_ubase_t paddr;
+ rt_size_t size;
+ rt_size_t align;
+ rt_uint32_t flags; /* TEE_SHM_DRV | TEE_SHM_SYS | TEE_SHM_USER */
+};
+```
+
+| Flag | Usage |
+| --- | --- |
+| **`TEE_SHM_SYS`** | Core allocates backing store in **`rt_tee_shm_register`** via **`rt_tee_shm_alloc_helper`** (page allocator or aligned malloc). Caller must **`rt_tee_shm_free_helper`** after unregister. |
+| **`TEE_SHM_USER`** | Caller supplies **`vaddr`** (and optionally **`paddr`**); core resolves physical address when missing. |
+| **`TEE_SHM_DRV`** | Driver-owned buffer; registration requires **`vaddr`** already set. |
+
+### Driver operations
+
+```c
+struct rt_tee_ops {
+ rt_err_t (*get_version)(struct rt_tee_device *tdev, struct rt_tee_version *out_version);
+ rt_err_t (*open_session)(struct rt_tee_device *tdev, struct rt_tee_open_session_arg *arg);
+ rt_err_t (*close_session)(struct rt_tee_device *tdev, rt_uint32_t session);
+ rt_err_t (*invoke)(struct rt_tee_device *tdev, struct rt_tee_invoke_arg *arg);
+ rt_err_t (*cancel)(struct rt_tee_device *tdev, rt_uint32_t session, rt_uint32_t cancel_id);
+ rt_err_t (*shm_register)(struct rt_tee_device *tdev, struct rt_tee_shm *shm);
+ rt_err_t (*shm_unregister)(struct rt_tee_device *tdev, struct rt_tee_shm *shm);
+};
+```
+
+---
+
+## TEE result codes
+
+Transport failures use **`rt_err_t`** (`-RT_EINVAL`, `-RT_ENOMEM`, `-RT_ENOSYS`, …). TEE-side status is returned in **`arg->ret`** with origin **`arg->ret_origin`**:
+
+| Code | Macro |
+| --- | --- |
+| Success | **`RT_TEE_SUCCESS`** (`0`) |
+| Bad parameters | **`RT_TEE_ERROR_BAD_PARAMETERS`** |
+| Not supported | **`RT_TEE_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED`** |
+| Out of memory | **`RT_TEE_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY`** |
+| Communication error | **`RT_TEE_ERROR_COMMUNICATION`** |
+| … | See **`tee.h`** for the full list |
+
+Origins: **`RT_TEE_ORIGIN_COMMS`**, **`RT_TEE_ORIGIN_TEE`**, **`RT_TEE_ORIGIN_TRUSTED_APP`**.
+
+Always check **both** the function return value and **`arg->ret`** on open/invoke.
+
+---
+
+## Register and unregister
+
+```c
+rt_err_t rt_tee_device_register(struct rt_tee_device *tdev);
+rt_err_t rt_tee_device_unregister(struct rt_tee_device *tdev);
+```
+
+**`rt_tee_device_register`** requires **`tdev`** and **`tdev->ops`**. Device name is **`tee<N>`**.
+
+**`rt_tee_device_unregister`**:
+
+- Fails if **`ref_count != 0`**
+- Warns and force-unregisters SHM entries if any remain on **`shm_nodes`**
+- Detaches **`mutex`** after successful device unregister
+
+---
+
+## Session and command API
+
+```c
+rt_err_t rt_tee_get_version(struct rt_tee_device *tdev, struct rt_tee_version *out_version);
+
+rt_err_t rt_tee_open_session(struct rt_tee_device *tdev, struct rt_tee_open_session_arg *arg);
+rt_err_t rt_tee_close_session(struct rt_tee_device *tdev, rt_uint32_t session);
+
+rt_err_t rt_tee_invoke(struct rt_tee_device *tdev, struct rt_tee_invoke_arg *arg);
+rt_err_t rt_tee_cancel(struct rt_tee_device *tdev, rt_uint32_t session, rt_uint32_t cancel_id);
+```
+
+Typical flow:
+
+1. Allocate **`open_session_arg`** with room for trailing **`params[]`**
+2. Fill **`uuid`** (TA) and optional client identity fields
+3. **`rt_tee_open_session`** — on success read **`arg->session`**, verify **`arg->ret == RT_TEE_SUCCESS`**
+4. Register SHM if the TA command needs buffers
+5. Allocate **`invoke_arg`**, set **`func`**, **`session`**, parameters
+6. **`rt_tee_invoke`** — verify **`arg->ret`**
+7. **`rt_tee_close_session`**, unregister/free SHM, close device
+
+---
+
+## Shared memory helpers
+
+```c
+rt_err_t rt_tee_shm_alloc_helper(struct rt_tee_shm *shm);
+rt_err_t rt_tee_shm_free_helper(struct rt_tee_shm *shm);
+rt_err_t rt_tee_shm_register(struct rt_tee_device *tdev, struct rt_tee_shm *shm);
+rt_err_t rt_tee_shm_unregister(struct rt_tee_device *tdev, struct rt_tee_shm *shm);
+```
+
+**`rt_tee_shm_register`**:
+
+- For **`TEE_SHM_SYS`** (without **`TEE_SHM_DRV`**): allocates memory, then calls **`ops->shm_register`**
+- On backend failure after allocation, frees the buffer automatically
+- On success, links **`shm`** into **`tdev->shm_nodes`**
+
+**`rt_tee_shm_unregister`** removes the node and calls **`ops->shm_unregister`**. Call **`rt_tee_shm_free_helper`** afterward when the core allocated the buffer.
+
+---
+
+## OP-TEE backend
+
+**Files:** `components/drivers/tee/optee/optee.c`, `optee_msg.h`, `optee_smc.h`
+
+**Platform driver:** `optee-smc`, compatible **`linaro,optee-tz`**
+
+### Device tree
+
+| Property | Values | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| **`compatible`** | `"linaro,optee-tz"` | Required |
+| **`method`** | `"smc"` (default) or `"hvc"` | Selects **`arm_smccc_smc`** vs **`arm_smccc_hvc`** |
+
+### Probe requirements
+
+At probe time the driver:
+
+1. Selects SMC or HVC call path from **`method`**
+2. Verifies OP-TEE UID via **`OPTEE_SMC_CALLS_UID`**
+3. Requires **`OPTEE_SMC_SEC_CAP_DYNAMIC_SHM`** from capability exchange
+4. Registers **`struct rt_tee_device`** with **`optee_ops`**
+
+### Normal-world supplicant (RPC)
+
+**`call_with_arg`** handles OP-TEE **RPC** returns while a secure-world call is in flight:
+
+| RPC function | Handled behavior |
+| --- | --- |
+| **`OPTEE_SMC_RPC_FUNC_ALLOC` / `FREE`** | Temporary RPC buffer alloc/free |
+| **`OPTEE_SMC_RPC_FUNC_CMD`** | **`supplicant_cmd`**: SHM alloc/free, optional **I2C transfer** (`RT_USING_I2C`) |
+| **`OPTEE_SMC_RPC_FUNC_FOREIGN_INTR`** | No-op placeholder |
+
+Shared memory passed to the secure world uses **non-contiguous page lists** built from physically contiguous normal-world pages.
+
+### FinSH example
+
+With **`RT_TEE_OPTEE_EXAMPLES`**, build OP-TEE for your platform with the **hwrng** TA (see [OP-TEE QEMU documentation](https://optee.readthedocs.io/en/latest/building/devices/qemu.html#qemu-v8)), then run:
+
+```text
+optee_example_rng
+```
+
+The example opens **`tee0`**, opens a session to the hwrng TA UUID, registers a 32-byte output buffer, invokes command **`0x0` (GET_ENTROPY)**, and prints the result.

+## Example (client sketch)
+
+```c
+#include <drivers/tee.h>

+}
+
+static int ta_example(struct rt_tee_device *tdev)
+{

+ goto out;
+
+ if ((err = rt_tee_shm_register(tdev, &shm)) != RT_EOK)
+ goto close;
+
+ invoke = rt_calloc(1, sizeof(*invoke) + sizeof(struct rt_tee_param));
+ invoke->func = 1;

+
+### Device lookup
+
+```c
+struct rt_device *dev = rt_device_find("tee0");

+```
+
+---
+
+## Pitfalls
+
+| Issue | Mitigation |
+| --- | --- |
+| **Ignoring `arg->ret`** | **`RT_EOK`** from **`rt_tee_invoke`** only means the message reached the backend; check **`invoke->ret`**. |
+| **SHM leak** | Always **`rt_tee_shm_unregister`** then **`rt_tee_shm_free_helper`** for **`TEE_SHM_SYS`** buffers. |
+| **Unregister with active refs** | **`rt_tee_device_unregister`** fails when **`ref_count != 0`** — close clients first. |
+| **OP-TEE without dynamic SHM** | Probe fails if **`OPTEE_SMC_SEC_CAP_DYNAMIC_SHM`** is absent — use a matching OP-TEE build. |
+| **Missing TA** | **`RT_TEE_ERROR_ITEM_NOT_FOUND`** / session open failure — deploy the TA binary to OP-TEE. |
+| **I2C RPC** | OP-TEE I2C supplicant calls require **`RT_USING_I2C`** and a bus named **`i2c<N>`**. |
+| **Cache coherency** | OP-TEE backend flushes/invalidates caches around shared message buffers; user SHM must remain in memory visible to both worlds. |
