Subject: [U-Boot] [PATCH 0/2] Add support for booting EFI FIT images
Date: Sun, 24 Nov 2019 22:11:24 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1574623031.git.cristian.ciocaltea@gmail.com> (raw)

Currently the only way to run an EFI binary like GRUB2 is via the
'bootefi' command, which cannot be used in a verified boot scenario.

The obvious solution to this limitation is to add support for
booting FIT images containing those EFI binaries.

The implementation relies on a new image type - IH_OS_EFI - which
can be created by using 'os = "efi"' inside an ITS file:

/ {
    #address-cells = <1>;

    images {
        efi-grub {
            description = "GRUB EFI";
            data = /incbin/("EFI/BOOT/bootarm.efi");
            type = "kernel_noload";
            arch = "arm";
            os = "efi";
            compression = "none";
            load = <0x0>;
            entry = <0x0>;
            hash-1 {
                algo = "sha256";
            };
        };
    };

    configurations {
        default = "config-grub";
        config-grub {
            kernel = "efi-grub";
            signature-1 {
                algo = "sha256,rsa2048";
                sign-images = "kernel";
            };
        };
    };
};

The bootm command has been extended to handle the IH_OS_EFI images.
To enable this feature, a new configuration option has been added:
BOOTM_EFI

I tested the solution using the 'qemu_arm' board:

=> load scsi 0:1 ${kernel_addr_r} efi-image.fit
=> bootm ${kernel_addr_r}#config-grub
