i.MX 8M mini secure boot with yocto

[aditi1prakash]

Dear NXP community,

I am trying to perform secure boot operation with yocto project on i.MX 8M Mini hardware. Following are the software details. 

• Software:
• NXP github: imx-manifest
• branch: langdale
• release-manifest: imx-6.1.1-1.0.0.xml
• Documents referred:
• IMX_YOCTO_PROJECT_USERS_GUIDE.pdf
• IMX_LINUX_USERS_GUIDE.pdf

I am able to successfully build the yocto project without secure boot but I have few questions regarding the process of achieving secure boot using yocto project.

1. Does NXP provide a layer (/recipes) to enable secure boot with Yocto?
2. Or, do we need to configure our own recipe manually?
3. If yes, is there a guide or reference document/templates available for the same?

Regards,

Thanks @Harvey021.

I had a couple of follow-up questions:

• Is there a recommended third-party layer that can sort of act as plug-and-play (or that can be integrated with minimal efforts) with NXP yocto project? Because many that I referred to (variscite, digi-embedded..) offer their own hardware based on i.MX for their software.
• What would be the approximate effort to write these recipes on my own? (with basic knowledge of yocto project)

Hi @aditi1prakash 

As I know, we've not had such support with Yocto so far. 

Best regards
