HAB u-boot cannot boot

[gbassi1]

Hello, I am having trouble trying to boot with HAB (secure) nand u-boot.

I downloaded the u-boot git from official Toradex repo: git://git.toradex.com/u-boot-toradex.git (branch 2016.11-toradex)

After compiling u-boot-nand.imx succesfully for imx6ullevk, I followed all the steps and my board cannot boot and no output appears at serial debug port, so I cannot even tell what's wrong.

How can I debug u-boot to at least see what's wrong?

Note: If I compile and install without HAB features, works ok.

Environment:

Colibri iMX6ULL 512MB
Aster V1.1B

Steps:

(Based on AN4581.pdf and other tutorials)

Download u-boot-toradex from git

 $: cd && git clone git://git.toradex.com/u-boot-toradex.git
 $: cd u-boot-toradex/
 $: git checkout 2016.11-toradex
 $: export ARCH=arm
 $: export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-
 $: make colibri-imx6ull_defconfig
Add security features to .config file

CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT=y

Compile!

 $: make V=1
Take note of the output

 Image Type:   Freescale IMX Boot Image
 Image Ver:    2 (i.MX53/6/7 compatible)
 Mode:         DCD
 Data Size:    569344 Bytes = 556.00 kB = 0.54 MB
 Load Address: 877ff420
 Entry Point:  87800000
 HAB Blocks:   877ff400 00000000 00088c00
Check that hab_status command is present in the .imx file6

 $: strings u-boot-nand.imx |grep hab

---

 hab exit function fail
 hab entry function fail
 hab fuse not enabled
 hab_auth_img
 hab_status

---

Copy the secure u-boot to cst environment

 $: cp u-boot-nand.imx ~/cst/release/linux64/bin/

Create CSF file (using HAB blocks info)

 $: cd ~/cst/release/linux64/bin/
 $: nano csf-uboot

• I saw I had the IVT with an offset of 0x400, I changed that in the CSF file but still didn't worked

Generate the CSF binary signature

 $: ./cst --o csf-uboot.bin --i csf-uboot
Attach CSF signature to U-Boot image The CSF binary data needs to be concatenated to the image. • Use the cat command to attach the CSF binary to the end of the image:

 $: cat u-boot-nand.imx csf-uboot-padded.bin > u-boot-nand-signed.imx

Note: u-boot-nand-signed.imx has to be 4K multiple

Also, I did this: Pad u-boot-nand-signed.imx to 4KB multiple (4096 bytes)
