Android A/B updates
===================
A/B system updates ensures modern approach for system update. This feature
allows one to use two sets (or more) of partitions referred to as slots
(normally slot A and slot B). The system runs from the current slot while the
-partitions in the unused slot can be updated [1].
+partitions in the unused slot can be updated [1]_.
A/B enablement
--------------
The A/B updates support can be activated by specifying next options in
-your board configuration file:
+your board configuration file::
CONFIG_ANDROID_AB=y
CONFIG_CMD_AB_SELECT=y
The disk space on target device must be partitioned in a way so that each
partition which needs to be updated has two or more instances. The name of
-each instance must be formed by adding suffixes: _a, _b, _c, etc.
-For example: boot_a, boot_b, system_a, system_b, vendor_a, vendor_b.
+each instance must be formed by adding suffixes: ``_a``, ``_b``, ``_c``, etc.
+For example: ``boot_a``, ``boot_b``, ``system_a``, ``system_b``, ``vendor_a``,
+``vendor_b``.

booting up.

+Android Verified Boot 2.0
+=========================

+This file contains information about the current support of Android Verified
+Boot 2.0 in U-Boot.
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+Verified Boot establishes a chain of trust from the bootloader to system images:
+
+* Provides integrity checking for:
+
+ * Android Boot image: Linux kernel + ramdisk. RAW hashing of the whole
+ partition is done and the hash is compared with the one stored in
+ the VBMeta image
+ * ``system``/``vendor`` partitions: verifying root hash of dm-verity hashtrees
+
+* Provides capabilities for rollback protection
+
+Integrity of the bootloader (U-Boot BLOB and environment) is out of scope.
+
+For additional details check [1]_.
+
+AVB using OP-TEE (optional)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If AVB is configured to use OP-TEE (see `Enable on your board`_) rollback
+indexes and device lock state are stored in RPMB. The RPMB partition is managed
+by OP-TEE (see [2]_ for details) which is a secure OS leveraging ARM
+TrustZone.

+ avb verify - run verification process using hash data from vbmeta structure
+ avb read_rb <num> - read rollback index at location <num>
+ avb write_rb <num> <rb> - write rollback index <rb> to <num>

Android Fastboot
================
Overview
-========
+--------
-The protocol that is used over USB and UDP is described in
-``doc/android/fastboot-protocol.txt``.
+The protocol that is used over USB and UDP is described in [1]_.
The current implementation supports the following standard commands:
The following OEM commands are supported (if enabled):
-- oem format - this executes ``gpt write mmc %x $partitions``
+- ``oem format`` - this executes ``gpt write mmc %x $partitions``
Support for both eMMC and NAND devices is included.
Client installation
-===================
+-------------------
The counterpart to this is the fastboot client which can be found in
Android's ``platform/system/core`` repository in the fastboot
folder. It runs on Windows, Linux and OSX. The fastboot client is
-part of the Android SDK Platform-Tools and can be downloaded from:

-https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools

Board specific
-==============
+--------------
USB configuration
------------------
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The fastboot gadget relies on the USB download gadget, so the following
options must be configured:
be found in the fastboot client source code.
General configuration
----------------------
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
``-s``.
Fastboot environment variables
-==============================
+------------------------------
Partition aliases
------------------
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Fastboot partition aliases can also be defined for devices where GPT
-limitations prevent user-friendly partition names such as "boot", "system"
-and "cache". Or, where the actual partition name doesn't match a standard
+limitations prevent user-friendly partition names such as ``boot``, ``system``
+and ``cache``. Or, where the actual partition name doesn't match a standard
partition name used commonly with fastboot.
The current implementation checks aliases when accessing partitions by
name (flash_write and erase functions). To define a partition alias
-add an environment variable similar to:
+add an environment variable similar to::
-``fastboot_partition_alias_<alias partition name>=<actual partition name>``
+ fastboot_partition_alias_<alias partition name>=<actual partition name>
-for example:
+for example::
-``fastboot_partition_alias_boot=LNX``
+ fastboot_partition_alias_boot=LNX
Variable overrides
-------------------
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Variables retrived through ``getvar`` can be overridden by defining
environment variables of the form ``fastboot.<variable>``. These are
looked up first so can be used to override values which would
otherwise be returned. Using this mechanism you can also return types
for NAND filesystems, as the fully parameterised variable is looked
-up, e.g.
+up, e.g.::
-``fastboot.partition-type:boot=jffs2``
+ fastboot.partition-type:boot=jffs2
Boot command
-------------
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
-When executing the fastboot ``boot`` command, if ``fastboot_bootcmd`` is set then
-that will be executed in place of ``bootm <CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR>``.
+When executing the fastboot ``boot`` command, if ``fastboot_bootcmd`` is set
+then that will be executed in place of ``bootm <CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR>``.
Partition Names
-===============
+---------------
The Fastboot implementation in U-Boot allows to write images into disk
partitions. Target partitions are referred on the host computer by
For GPT/EFI the respective partition name is used.
For MBR the partitions are referred by generic names according to the
-following schema:
+following schema::
- <device type><device index letter><partition index>
+
<device type><device index letter><partition index>
-Example: ``hda3``, ``sdb1``, ``usbda1``
+Example: ``hda3``, ``sdb1``, ``usbda1``.
The device type is as follows:
from ``1`` and describes the partition number on the particular device.
Writing Partition Table
-=======================
+-----------------------
Fastboot also allows to write the partition table to the media. This can be
done by writing the respective partition table image to a special target
CONFIG_FASTBOOT_MBR_NAME
