Hi, does it mean that i.MX8M mini does not support trustzone?
MX8MMini can not boot Coustomer OS.bin from ATF?
Hello Li,
Using ATF is ARM preferred software structure, i.MX8 uses ATF BL31 to handle PSCI and TEE context switch. Please see https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/blob/master/readme.rst
ATF can not be removed, the right security level needs to be initialized properly, ATF is running at EL3, while U-boot and Linux OS run at EL2/EL1 normal world, secure OS runs at EL1 secure world.
ATF is first booted, then it loads the u-boot and secure OS.
Now many Kernel features depends on ATF, they implemented the functions in ATF. For example, multiple cores boot up, suspend/resume, system reboot, etc. You can also refer the ARM PSCI for these features.
For i.MX8QM/QXP, ATF takes 128KB in flash.bin, this could be optimized.
For the MX8MMini this task is not supported
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Hi NXP TechSupport,
Does it mean i.MX8M mini does not have ATF support by default?
