Subject: [U-Boot] u-boot legacy/FIT/FIT+signature compatability
Date: Mon, 8 Feb 2016 09:46:06 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160208154606.GD3544@nl.grid.coop> (raw)
so I'm tracing through stuff on an am3517-evm board, and finding that with
a FIT image file that works without signature checking compiled in, when
I turn on sig checking, if it doesn't find a signature I just get a data
abort, *and* the resulting u-boot doesn't recognize old 'legacy' boot
images anymore either.
I get the point that if you have signatures on, you may not want to hand
over keys to decrypt secure filesystems if you try to boot an unsigned
image, but I think the fallbacks and backwards compatability could be
developed a little better, especially since why now that I have CONFIG_FIT
I now can't seem to load a legacy image.
