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. |
