HAB on iMX6

saisuryanarayan — Tue, 10 Feb 2015 04:43:27 GMT

Hello,

Currently i am working on HAB support in imx6 for u-boot and my u-boot version is 2014.04 . I have enabled HAB by defining CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT in my u-boot configuration file. I followed document provided by freescale (AN4581.pdf) . In that document mentioned that to enable HAB we need to change u-boot.lds and flash_header.S for specicfying IVT details ...etc.But my u-boot doesn't have flash_header.S file and when i added "TEXT_BASE" details to u-boot.lds it is giving error.

So what are the changed i need to do to have HAB in 2014.04 version u-boot .

I hope you guys could help me, thanks a lot !

The recent instructions how to treat with HAB may be found under the next

Community thread :

"Mx6 HAB (High Assurance Boot)"

https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-96451

Please use U-boot from Freescale BSP.

Have a great day,
Yuri

Hi Yuri,

Thanks for your reply,

I followed all the steps mentioned in that thread.I didn't made SEC_CONFIG to closed when i try hab_status from u-boot it is giving continuous hab events.

Here is my CSF file

# length = 0x59C00 (padded U-Boot length) - 0x0 (IVT offset) = 0x59C00

# This covers the essential parts: IVT, boot data and DCD.

#Blocks have the following definition:

# Image block start address on i.MX, Offset from start of image file,

# Length of block in bytes, image data file

[Authenticate Data]

Verification index = 2

Blocks = 0x177ff400 0x00 0x59c00 "U-Boot-pad.bin"

Here my u-boot size is 0x59c00 and i am not using any padding.

From this i understood that IVT is at 0x00000000 and values are as follows

header:0x402000D1

Pointer to absolute Entry address : 0x17800000

Reserved:0x00000000

Pointer to absolute address of DCD:0x177F2C00

Pointer to absolute address of boot data: 0x177ff400

Start of CSF data : 0x17859000

Can you explain what's the wrong ?

So can you please help me to resolve this problem ,

Thank You

Do You use U-boot from Freescale disto ?

~Yuri.

Re: HAB on iMX6

saisuryanarayan — Tue, 10 Feb 2015 11:39:22 GMT

Thanx for Quick reply,

Yes yuri we are using Freescle u-boot (version 2014.04).

Re: HAB on iMX6

KursadOney — Tue, 10 Feb 2015 19:09:45 GMT

Can you flush the cache (enable CONFIG_CMD_CACHE, use dcache flush and icache flush commands) before you use the hab_status command? The implementation of some interfaces on u-boot do not flush the cache and might cause displaying false positive HAB events.

kapilruchandani — Fri, 18 Nov 2016 12:36:16 GMT

I am also facing same issue with exactly similar log. I tried the cache flush but it didn't work. saisuryanarayan‌: did you figure out the resolution?

Hi Kapil Ruchandani,

That issue didn't solve for us also we are using unsigned u-boot only

Re: HAB on iMX6

Yuri — Fri, 02 Dec 2016 05:34:16 GMT

Hello,

U-boot should be signed for HAB.

Re: HAB on iMX6

kapilruchandani — Fri, 02 Dec 2016 12:31:59 GMT

HI Yuri,

My u-boot was signed and it worked well for imx6Solo rev1.1 chip. However it wasn't working for rev imx6Solo 1.2 chip.

I did following changes for all HAB function pointers in my hab.c and it worked for rev imx6Solo 1.2 chip without any events.

#define hab_rvt_report_event_p \

( \

((is_cpu_type(MXC_CPU_MX6Q) || \

is_cpu_type(MXC_CPU_MX6D)) && \

(soc_rev() >= CHIP_REV_1_5)) ? \

((hab_rvt_report_event_t *)HAB_RVT_REPORT_EVENT_NEW) : \

((is_cpu_type(MXC_CPU_MX6DL) || \

is_cpu_type(MXC_CPU_MX6SOLO)) && \

(soc_rev() >= CHIP_REV_1_2)) ? \

((hab_rvt_report_event_t *)HAB_RVT_REPORT_EVENT_NEW) : \

((hab_rvt_report_event_t *)HAB_RVT_REPORT_EVENT) \

)

I think there have been changes in rev 1.2 chip and new HAB pointers shall be used.

Hello Yuri,

We have developed product based on i.MX6 Solo with Andoird 6.0 release from NXP.

Our customer would like have secure HAB booting on that. Do we have HAB implemented and available in Android 6.0

Kind Regards

Hello,

I do not know about example just for Android 6.

Note, NDA is needed to get more details about implementation for other version.
