PROFILE

Gergely Kovacs

Worked on the zephyrproject-rtos/trusted-firmware-m repository, focusing on enhancing build system reliability and portability for embedded firmware. Addressed non-secure build symbol overrides by introducing configurable startup file mechanisms and refining linker behavior, which improved build stability and security compile definitions. Enhanced cross-toolchain support by adding missing compiler flags and enabling Arm Compiler 6 with refined MVE and FPU handling, ensuring robust builds across ARMCLANG, GNUARM, and IARARM. Improved integration by exporting relocatable CMake configurations for non-secure builds, simplifying onboarding and CI processes. Utilized C, Embedded C, and CMake to deliver maintainable, portable solutions for secure firmware development.

Dec 1, 2025

December 2025: Delivered Trusted Firmware-M Build Portability Enhancement to export relocatable configurations for non-secure builds, improving integration, portability, and CI reliability. The change relocates the tfm_config CMake target to rely on installed, relative paths and remaps NS build references to installed artifacts (IFX_* and MBEDTLS config paths). This reduces environment-specific setup, simplifies cross-target builds, and accelerates onboarding for new platforms.

December 2024 monthly summary for zephyrproject-rtos/trusted-firmware-m: Implemented build system enhancements to improve cross-ARM toolchain robustness and MVE support, including missing CXX compiler/linker flags and enabling Arm Compiler 6 with refined MVE/FPU handling and CPU feature options. Standardized TF-M versioning by updating TF-M_VERSION_FULL to start with 'v' for consistent releases. These changes improve build reliability across ARMCLANG, GNUARM, and IARARM toolchains and enable broader MVE support, delivering clearer versioning and smoother downstream integration.

November 2024 monthly summary: Focused on stabilizing build robustness for TF-M integration in zephyrproject-rtos/trusted-firmware-m. Implemented a targeted fix in tfm_crypto_api.c to silence unused parameter warnings, preventing Werror build failures and ensuring reliable builds for the tfm_api_ns target. This reduces CI failures and speeds up integration with Zephyr RTOS. Key outcomes include improved build hygiene, smoother CI, and stronger collaboration between TF-M and Zephyr teams.

October 2024 monthly summary for zephyrproject-rtos/trusted-firmware-m focusing on stabilizing non-secure (NS) builds. Delivered a robust fix for the Non-Secure Build Symbol Override Bug, preserving security compile definitions while correctly linking startup files to the appropriate library. Implemented a configurable init/startup file mechanism to improve build reliability and reduce fragile, hard-coded overrides. Business value includes more reliable NS builds, faster release cycles, and lower risk in secure firmware deployments.
