Hi nikhil29

SCFW [System Controller Firmware] is not used for i.MX 8M Mini.

It is used for i.MX8QM, i.MX8QXP processors which have SCU (System Controller Unit)

module. SCFW is some abstraction concept, short description can be found on

Unfortunately I am not aware of description of "Secure Firmware", probably this is some general term.

In particular some "firmware" files are described in i.MX Linux Release Notes

Best regards
