For secure TI devices, the SPL will + be authenticated, as described above, as part of the particular + device's ROM boot process. In order to continue the secure boot + process, the authenticated SPL must authenticate the main u-boot + image that it loads. + + The configurations for secure TI platforms are written to make the boot + process use the FIT image format for the u-boot.img (CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK + and CONFIG_SPL_LOAD_FIT). With these configurations the binary + components that the SPL loads include a specific DTB image and u-boot + image. These DTB image may be one of many available to the boot + process. In order to secure these components so that they can be + authenticated by the SPL as they are loaded from the FIT image, the + build procedure for secure TI devices will secure these images before + they are integrated into the FIT image. When those images are extracted + from the FIT image at boot time, they are post-processed to verify that + they are still secure. The outlined security-related SPL post-processing + is enabled through the CONFIG_SPL_FIT_IMAGE_POST_PROCESS option which + must be enabled for the secure boot scheme to work.
