Hi everybody,

Is there a good documentation/articles/posts about secure boot on beagleplay?

Regards

BeaglePlay uses GP silicon, so not supported…

Secure boot is complex on am62, it requires hsfs silicon and a very a specific gpio pin back to the pmic… We screwed this up on the PocketBeagle2, so that one’s doesn’t work either.

Secure Boot is available on some TI official boards. Contact them on their official forum for details.

thx for advice but I wanted beagleplay to enable secureboot. Maybe for future boards consider this option

The feature list on PocketBeagle 2 - BeagleBoard mentions “Secure boot supported”. Is that outdated?

@jlu thank you! Yes that is misleading..

The “AM6254” supports Secure Boot but the “PocketBeagle2” Design does not (after TI tested)

I’ll nuke that point. @lorforlinux

Without Secure Boot, TEE support isn’t really useful either, as there’s no way to make sure that only trusted software has access to TrustZone…

Is there any chance that Secure Boot might be added in a future HW revision? It would be a pretty unique feature at this price. :slight_smile:

So you have understood it is a pricy feature. :money_mouth_face:

@Grippy98 just came back from family vacation, big update on SecureBoot… Making sure you're not a bot!

@RobertCNelson Thanks for the update! Would that be enough to re-add the “Secure boot supported” on the product page?

Are there plans to “add a 3rd GND pin to the 2Pin VPP jumper header” as recommended in the issue you linked to?

@RobertCNelson @jkridner Do you have any news here? :slight_smile:
