Secure boot on iMX8MM using HABv4

[_sanath_]

Hello,
We are using iMX8MM board and trying to achieve Secure boot through HAB4.

Here is my flash.bin build log:

$ make SOC=iMX8MM flash_sx8m_flexspi

./mkimage_imx8 -version v1 -dev flexspi -fit -loader u-boot-spl-ddr.bin 0x7E2000 -second_loader u-boot-sx8m.itb 0x40200000 0x60000 -out flash.bin
Platform: i.MX8M (mScale)
ROM VERSION: v1
BOOT DEVICE: flexspi
Using FIT image

And here is my print_fit_hab_flexspi log:

$ make SOC=iMX8MM print_fit_hab_flexspi

0x920000 0x1B1348 0xA1D8
0x4034E348 0x1BB520 0x8915

I have attached the csf_spl.txt and csf_fit.txt files.

I am able to generate csf_spl.bn using Code signing Tool (cst-3.1.0) with the same csf_spl.txt file. But, when I try to generate csf_fit.bin,I get the following error:

Invalid Block arguments, Blocks start offset and length together exceed file size in command AuthenticateData

I came across similar questions on the forum where people suggested to pass "VERSION=v1" parameter to print_fit_hab, but that doesnt make any difference in the output for me (which makes perfect sense when I looked into the print_fit_hab.sh file. "VERSION=v1" changes "ivt_off" variable in the file. but the variable is not used when "BOOT_DEV" is "felxspi", which is my case).
Hence, this solution does not work for me.

Please help in this regard

Thank you

Hi @_sanath_ we are trying secure boot on sx8m did you able to enable? Crossed this error.? Actually we are struck. There is hab events generated in uboot

Hi @_sanath_ 

I'm not sure what the target is you are building. 

You can try to compare the actual size of these images with those in your csf.  seem that signature length is larger than the actual file。

Best regards

Hello @Harvey021 

1. We want to have the u-boot in FlexSPI, hence building u-boot for the same. I have attached the soc.mak  and print_fit_hab.sh for reference.

2. I did compare the sizes of the images and they are all matching.

One observation is that, if I exclude the .dtb image from the Authenticate data block ( I have attached the modified "csf_fit.txt" file for reference), I am able to generate the csf_fit.bin.

But the size of dtb mentioned in the csf file is same as the actual size of dtb.
