Hi,

I am using iMX8MQ based custom board and I want to encrypt rootfs.
I have gone through the community link

link: https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors/How-to-create-an-encrypted-rootfs-for-iMX8MQ-using-yoct...

I am facing the same as describe in above link. I am not able to create "/dev/caam-keygen" node.
I am working on kernel version 5.4.3 but I tried with kernel version 5.4.80 but still facing the same issue.
I am attaching kernel configuration for your reference.

Another thing I wanted to know that which device driver file is responsible to create "/dev/caam-keygen" node?

I am also trying to investigate encrypted rootfs, but can not read this document.

If it is an NDA matter I am currently trying to figure out how the process of that is handled within my organization.
