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

https://imxdev.gitlab.io/tutorial/System_controller_unit_introduction_for_imx_8qxp_mek/

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
igor
