Kernel image authentication using FIT image (secure boot)

[Jayashree]

I am currently working on the S32G3 Goldbox using BSP 40. I have followed the manual's instructions to create a FIT image. However, when I execute the bootm along with the load address im getting the following error

Wrong Image Format for bootm command
ERROR: can't get kernel image!

iminfo gives the following statement
iminfo
## Checking Image at 80000000 ...
Unknown image format!

But when i do the md command, it shows like this
md 0x80000000 100

Could you please provide guidance or assistance in resolving this issue

Hi @Jayashree,

Are you booting from SD or QSPI?

Can you please describe the process you follow to flash the image?

[Jayashree]

As mentioned in the manual, "The resulting FIT image must be copied to the boot partition of the SD Card." i am copying the image to the boot partition of the sd card and booting

Hi @Jayashree,

Which version of HSE are you using? 

Double check that your .its file is configured correctly, essentially the paths to the kernel and dtb.

If you want to share the configuration to review it, you can do it in a private channel opening a ticket with the same issue and my user to track it.

i am using this HSE version HSE_FW_S32G3_0_2_22_0
But how does HSE matter in the kernel image verification using FIT image?
My bootm command seems to fail but im not sure why

[carlos_o]

The HSE is the component that execute the secure boot in this case that's why is important to know that you a using the compatible version of it with the BSP.
