Dear NXP community,

I want to know what state SECO enters after boot stage?

Can I use the authentication hardware of SECO to verify my images(such as images for upgrade purpose) while the OS(linux, qnx and so on)running?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

   SECO ROM provides initialization and SECO FW check,
further activity is performed by SECO FW, usually in loop.
You may look at Figure 2 (Secure boot flow overview) of
"Secure Boot on i.MX 8 and i.MX 8X Families using AHAB"
app note.
    Also use section 4.4 [Authenticating OS containers (and
other ones)].

Regards,
Yuri.
