+Introduction
|
|
|
+------------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This document provides an overview of how SPL verified boot works on powerpc/
|
|
|
+mpc85xx & arm/layerscape platforms.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Methodology
|
|
|
+-----------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The SPL image is responsible for loading the next stage boot loader, which is
|
|
|
+the main u-boot image. For secure boot process on these platforms ROM verifies
|
|
|
+SPL image, so to continue chain of trust SPL image verifies U-boot image using
|
|
|
+spl_validate_uboot(). This function uses QorIQ Trust Architecture header
|
|
|
+(appended to U-boot image) to validate the U-boot binary just before passing
|
|
|
+control to it.
