2017-07-26FIT: List kernel_noload in the list of typesTom Rini
In the source_file_format.txt file we talk about how to construct a valid FIT image. While it already says to look at the source for the full list, add kernel_noload to the explicit list of types. This is arguably the most important type to use as most often we are including a kernel that will run from wherever it is loaded into memory and execute. This for example, allows you to create a single FIT image for Linux that can be used on both OMAP and i.MX devices as the kernel will not need to be moved in memory.

2017-05-17SPL: FIT: allow loading multiple imagesAndre Przywara
So far we were not using the FIT image format to its full potential: The SPL FIT loader was just loading the first image from the /images node plus one of the listed DTBs. Now with the refactored loader code it's easy to load an arbitrary number of images in addition to the two mentioned above. As described in the FIT image source file format description, iterate over all images listed at the "loadables" property in the configuration node and load every image at its desired location. This allows to load any kind of images: - firmware images to execute before U-Boot proper (for instance ARM Trusted Firmware (ATF)) - firmware images for management processors (SCP, arisc, ...) - firmware images for devices like WiFi controllers - bit files for FPGAs - additional configuration data - kernels and/or ramdisks The actual usage of this feature would be platform and/or board specific. Also update the FIT documentation to mention the new SPL feature and provide an example .its file to demonstrate its features.

2017-01-14mkimage: Add support for signing with pkcs11George McCollister
Add support for signing with the pkcs11 engine. This allows FIT images to be signed with keys securely stored on a smartcard, hardware security module, etc without exposing the keys. Support for other engines can be added in the future by modifying rsa_engine_get_pub_key() and rsa_engine_get_priv_key() to construct correct key_id strings.

2016-12-03image: Add FIT image loadable section custom processingAndrew F. Davis
To help automate the loading of custom image types we add the ability to define custom handlers for the loadable section types. When we find a compatible type while loading a "loadable" image from a FIT image we run its associated handlers to perform any additional steps needed for loading this image. Signed-off-by: Andrew F.

2016-06-24mkimage: fit: spl: Add an optional static offset for external dataTeddy Reed
When building a FIT with external data (-E), U-Boot proper may require absolute positioning for executing the external firmware. To acheive this use the (-p) switch, which will replace the amended 'data-offset' with 'data-position' indicating the absolute position of external data. It is considered an error if the requested absolute position overlaps with the initial data required for the compact FIT. Signed-off-by: Teddy Reed <teddy.reed@gmail.com>

2016-03-14mkimage: Support placing data outside the FITSimon Glass
One limitation of FIT is that all the data is 'inline' within it, using a 'data' property in each image node. This means that to find out what is in the FIT it is necessary to scan the entire file. Once loaded it can be scanned and then the images can be copied to the correct place in memory. In SPL it can take a significant amount of time to copy images around in memory. Also loading data that does not end up being used is wasteful. It would be useful if the FIT were small, acting as a directory, with the actual data stored elsewhere. This allows SPL to load the entire FIT, without the images, then load the images it wants later. Add a -E option to mkimage to request that it output an 'external' FIT.

Change the configuration OF tree format to store the RSA public exponent as a 64 bit integer and implement backward compatibility for verified boot configuration trees without this extra field. Parameterise vboot_test.sh to test different public exponents. Mathematics and other hard work by Andrew Bott.

While signing images is useful, it does not provide complete protection against several types of attack.

It is also possible to substitute a signed image from an older FIT version into a newer FIT (roll-back attack). Add support for signing of FIT configurations using the libfdt's region support.
