+U-Boot on SunXi
+==============
+
+Tutorial describe all details relevant for U-Boot on Allwinner SunXi platform.
+
+ 1. Verified Boot
+
+1. Verified Boot
+================
+
+U-Boot supports an image verification method called "Verified Boot".
+This is a brief tutorial to utilize this feature for the Sunxi A64 platform.
+You will find details documents in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
+
+Here, we take Orangepi Win board for example, but it should work for any
+other boards including 32 bit SoCs.
+
+1. Generate RSA key to sign
+
+ $ mkdir keys
+ $ openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA -out keys/dev.key \
+ -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:2048 -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_pubexp:65537
+ $ openssl req -batch -new -x509 -key keys/dev.key -out keys/dev.crt
+
+Two files "dev.key" and "dev.crt" will be created. The base name is arbitrary,
+but need to match to the "key-name-hint" property described below.
+
+2. FIT Input
+
+---------------------------------------->8----------------------------------------
+/dts-v1/;
+/ {
+ description = "FIT image with single Linux kernel, FDT blob";
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+
+ images {
+ kernel@0 {
+ description = "ARM64 Linux kernel";
+ data =
/incbin/("/path/to/linux/dir/arch/arm64/boot/Image.gz");
+ type = "kernel";
+ arch = "arm64";
+ os = "linux";
+ compression = "gzip";
+ load = <0x50080000>;
+ entry = <0x50080000>;
+ hash@1 {
+ algo = "sha256";
+ };
+ };
+
+ fdt@0 {
+ description = "Orangepi Win/Win+ Devicetree blob";
+ data =
/incbin/("/path/to/linux/dir/arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-a64-orangepi-win.dtb");
+ type = "flat_dt";
+ arch = "arm64";
+ compression = "none";
+ hash@1 {
+ algo = "sha256";
+ };
+ };
+ };
+
+ configurations {
+ default = "conf@0";
+
+ conf@0 {
+ description = "Boot Linux kernel, FDT blob";
+ kernel = "kernel@0";
+ fdt = "fdt@0";
+ signature@0 {
+ algo = "sha256,rsa2048";
+ key-name-hint = "dev";
+ sign-images = "kernel", "fdt";
+ };
+ };
+ };
+};
+---------------------------------------->8----------------------------------------
+
+You need to change the two '/incbin/' lines, depending on the location of
+your kernel image and devicetree blob. The "load" and "entry" properties also
+need to be adjusted if you want to change the physical placement of the kernel.
+
+The "key-name-hint" must specify the key name you have created in the step 1.
+
+The FIT file name is arbitrary. Let's say you saved it into "fit.its".
+
+3. Compile U-Boot with FIT and signature enabled
+
+To use the Verified Boot, you need to enable the following two options:
+ CONFIG_FIT
+ CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE
+
+ $ make orangepi_win_defconfig
+ $ make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
+
+4. FIT Output
+
+After building U-Boot, you will see tools/mkimage. With this tool, you can
+create an image tree blob as follows:
+
+ $ tools/mkimage -f fit.its -k keys -K dts/dt.dtb -r -F fitImage
+
+The -k option must specify the key directory you have created in step 1.
+
+A file "fitImage" will be created. This includes kernel, DTB,
+hash data for each of the three, and signature data.
+
+The public key needed for the run-time verification is stored in "dts/dt.dtb".
+
+5. Compile Verified U-Boot
+
+Since the "dt.dtb" has been updated in step 4, you need to re-compile the
+U-Boot.
+
+ $ make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
+
+The re-compiled "u-boot.bin" is appended with DTB that contains the public key.
+
+6. Flash the image
+
+Flash the "fitImage" to a storage device (SD, NAND, eMMC, or whatever) on your
+board.
+
+7. Boot verified kernel
+
+Load the fitImage to memory and run the following from the U-Boot command line.
+
+ > bootm <addr>
+
+Here, <addr> is the base address of the fitImage.
+
+If it is successful, you will see messages like follows:
+
+---------------------------------------->8----------------------------------------
+=> setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 earlyprintk root=/dev/mmcblk0p1
rootwait
+=> ext4load mmc 0:1 $kernel_addr_r /boot/fitImage

+
+Starting kernel ...
+---------------------------------------->8----------------------------------------
+
+Please pay attention to the lines that start with "Verifying Hash Integrity".
+
+"Verifying Hash Integrity ... sha256,rsa2048:dev+ OK" means the signature check
+passed.
+
+"Verifying Hash Integrity ... sha256+ OK" (2 times) means the hash check passed
+for kernel and DTB.
+
+If they are not displayed, the Verified Boot is not working.
