1 | 1. High Assurance Boot (HAB) for i.MX CPUs |

4 | To enable the authenticated or encrypted boot mode of U-Boot, it is |
5 | required to set the proper configuration for the target board. This | |
7a037cc9 | 6 | is done by adding the following configuration in the defconfig file: |
8148b824 | 7 | |
7a037cc9 | 8 | CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT=y |
8148b824 UC |

10 | In addition, the U-Boot image to be programmed into the | |
0187c985 SB |
11 | boot media needs to be properly constructed, i.e. it must contain a |
12 | proper Command Sequence File (CSF). | |
13 | ||
6d7403bf BL |
14 | The CSF itself is generated by the i.MX High Assurance Boot Reference |
15 | Code Signing Tool. | |

18 | More information about the CSF and HAB can be found in the AN4581. |

21 | We don't want to explain how to create a PKI tree or SRK table as | |
22 | this is well explained in the Application Note. | |

24 | 2. Secure Boot on non-SPL targets |
25 | --------------------------------- | |
26 | ||
27 | On non-SPL targets a singe U-Boot binary is generated, mkimage will | |
28 | output additional information about "HAB Blocks" which can be used | |
29 | in the CST to authenticate the U-Boot image (entries in the CSF file). | |

6d7403bf | 45 | (1) Size of area in file u-boot-dtb.imx to sign |
0187c985 SB |
46 | This area should include the IVT, the Boot Data the DCD |
47 | and U-Boot itself. | |

51 | CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT currently enables only an additional command | |
52 | 'hab_status' in U-Boot to retrieve the HAB status and events. This | |
53 | can be useful while developing and testing HAB. | |

61 | 3. Secure Boot on SPL targets |
62 | ----------------------------- | |
b887f0a6 BL |
63 | |
64 | This version of U-Boot is able to build a signable version of the SPL | |
65 | as well as a signable version of the U-Boot image. The signature can | |
66 | be verified through High Assurance Boot (HAB). | |
67 | ||
b887f0a6 | 68 | After building, you need to create a command sequence file and use |
6d7403bf | 69 | i.MX HAB Code Signing Tool to sign both binaries. After creation, |
b887f0a6 BL |
70 | the mkimage tool outputs the required information about the HAB Blocks |
71 | parameter for the CSF. During the build, the information is preserved | |
72 | in log files named as the binaries. (SPL.log and u-boot-ivt.log). | |

102 | 4. Setup U-Boot Image for Encrypted Boot |
103 | ---------------------------------------- | |
0200020b | 104 | An authenticated U-Boot image is used as starting point for |
6d7403bf BL |
105 | Encrypted Boot. The image is encrypted by i.MX Code Signing |
106 | Tool (CST). The CST replaces only the image data of | |
107 | u-boot-dtb.imx with the encrypted data. The Initial Vector Table, | |
0200020b RC |
108 | DCD, and Boot data, remains in plaintext. |
109 | ||
110 | The image data is encrypted with a Encryption Key (DEK). | |
111 | Therefore, this key is needed to decrypt the data during the | |
112 | booting process. The DEK is protected by wrapping it in a Blob, | |
113 | which needs to be appended to the U-Boot image and specified in | |
114 | the CSF file. | |
115 | ||
116 | The DEK blob is generated by an authenticated U-Boot image with | |
117 | the dek_blob cmd enabled. The image used for DEK blob generation | |
79d08029 | 118 | needs to have the following configurations enabled in Kconfig: |
0200020b | 119 | |
79d08029 FE |
120 | CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT=y |
121 | CONFIG_CMD_DEKBLOB=y | |
0200020b RC |
122 | |
123 | Note: The encrypted boot feature is only supported by HABv4 or | |
124 | greater. | |
125 | ||
126 | The dek_blob command then can be used to generate the DEK blob of | |
127 | a DEK previously loaded in memory. The command is used as follows: | |
128 | ||
129 | dek_blob <DEK address> <Output Address> <Key Size in Bits> | |
130 | example: dek_blob 0x10800000 0x10801000 192 | |
131 | ||
132 | The resulting DEK blob then is used to construct the encrypted | |
133 | U-Boot image. Note that the blob needs to be transferred back | |
134 | to the host.Then the following commands are used to construct | |
135 | the final image. | |
136 | ||
6d7403bf | 137 | cat u-boot-dtb.imx csf-u-boot.bin > u-boot-signed.imx |
0200020b RC |
138 | objcopy -I binary -O binary --pad-to <blob_dst> --gap-fill=0x00 \ |
139 | u-boot-signed.imx u-boot-signed-pad.bin | |
140 | cat u-boot-signed-pad.imx DEK_blob.bin > u-boot-encrypted.imx | |
141 | ||
142 | NOTE: u-boot-signed.bin needs to be padded to the value | |
143 | equivalent to the address in which the DEK blob is specified | |
144 | in the CSF. |
