+= Newport CN803x secure boot
+Trusted Mode Boot is the hardware and firmware implementation of secure boot for the  CN803x based on the [https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/blob/master/docs/trusted-board-boot.rst ARM Trusted Board Boot Requirements (TBBR) specification] described in the [https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware ARM Trusted Firmware]. It utilizes the [https://developer.arm.com/technologies/trustzone ARM TrustZone] architecture and the ARM Trusted Firmware (ATF).
+
+** Note that trusted boot on CN803x requires the -AUC (Secure Boot without Crypto) or -AUS (Secure Boot with Crypto) variant of the CN80XX processor which is not on Newport standard product boards. The standard Newport boards have the -SCP variant which has Crypto but no Secure Boot. Non AUC/AUS parts will come with the OTP fuses locked from the factory such that the ROTPK (Root of Trust Private Key) and others can not be programmed. Contact sales@gateworks.com if you wish to use Trusted boot on a Gateworks Custom or Special **
+
+See also [wiki:secure_boot] for information on securing the rest of your firmware.

+== Marvell BDK as the SPL
+The boot code loaded by the CN803x BOOT ROM is the Marvell BDK which we use as a Secondary Program Loader (SPL) in order to load the board DTB, ARM Trusted Firmware (ATF), and U-boot propper.
+
+The BDK is always built with signed images using keys in the bdk/trust-keys directory:
+ * hw-rot-public.pem ROTPK (root of trust private key)
+  - a 256bit hash of this is blown into One Time Programmable fuses for verification of the BDK boot stub and the BDK public key
+  - erased with a 'make -C bdk distclean' and re-created if needed
+  - created with:
+{{{#!bash
+outopenssl ecparam -name prime256v1 -genkey -noout -out bdk/trust-keys/hw-rot-private.pem
+}}}
+ * bdk-sign-private.pem BDK private key
+  - used to sign and validate all files within the FATFS including board DTB's, various applications of the BDK, and the ATF and U-Boot FIP package
+  - erased with a 'make -C bdk distclean' and re-created if needed
+  - created with:
+{{{#!bash
+openssl ecparam -name prime256v1 -genkey -noout -out bdk/trust-keys/bdk-sign-private.pem
+}}}
+
+To build a version of boot firmware in the Newport BSP directory using keys that you create and manage in the ~/keys directory:
+{{{#!bash
+KEY_DIR=~/keys
+# cd to where you have the Newport BSP
+cd /usr/src/newport/bsp
+# setup your enviroment
+. ./setup-environment
+# perform a distclean to remove everything including keys
+make distclean
+# create your private keys (if not already created)
+outopenssl ecparam -name prime256v1 -genkey -noout -out $KEY_DIR/hw-rot-private.pem
+openssl ecparam -name prime256v1 -genkey -noout -out $KEY_DIR/bdk-sign-private.pem
+# copy your keys to the bdk
+cp $KEY_DIR/hw-rot-private.pem $KEY_DIR/bdk-sign-private.pem bdk/trust-keys
+# build the bdk and firmware
+make bdk
+make firmware-image
+}}}
+
+To easily obtain the SHA256 of the ROTPK public key you can use:
+{{{#!bash
+./newport/getkey.py bdk/trust-keys/hw-rot-private.pem
+}}}
+
+**
+The hw-rot-private.pem and bdk-sign-private.pem files must be stored in a secure database preferably indexed by board serial number in case you even need to change them.

+[=#dtb]
+== Adding signature node to DTB for booting signed FIT images
+To add the kernel, fdt, and ramdisk to the chain of trust you can use a signed fit image (see [wiki:secure_boot#fit]). This requires that the FDT controlling U-Boot have a signature node containing the key data used to verify the FIT image.
+
+To accomplish this you must alter your board dtb in the boot firmware FATFS using the method discussed in [wiki:secure_boot#fit].
+
+You can do this using the fatfs-tool which is built by the Newport BSP. For example, if your board is a GW6304 thus uses the gw6304-linux.dtb, your Newport BSP is in /usr/src/newport/bsp, and your FIT key is ~/keys/fit.key
+{{{#!bash
+# define vars used in commands below
+BSP_DIR=/usr/src/newport/bsp
+DTB=gw6304-linux.dtb
+KEY_DIR=~/keys
+KEY_NAME=fit
+
+# get latest boot firmware
+wget http://dev.gateworks.com/newport/boot_firmware/firmware-newport.img
+
+# extract your DTB to current directory
+$BSP_DIR/bin/fatfs-tool -i firmware-newport.img extract /$DTB .
+
+# use mkimage to apply the key signature node

+== Blowing Fuses to lock a device to use trusted boot
+
+**Important Note: Once boards have been configured for trusted-mode boot by hard blowing fuses the JTAG chain is disabled and boards can not be re-tested by Gateworks and as a result returns (RMA) will not be accepted. It is recommended that OEM's test board functionality before permanently setting trusted-mode boot fuses.**
+
+In order to enable trusted boot you must:
+ * program the ROTPK 256bit hash into OTP
+ * enable the tz-force bit
+ * enable the fj-dis bit if you want to disable a fallback to insecure boot firmware if secure boot fails
+
+The 256bit ROTPK that needs to be used for trusted boot can be found using the following in the Newport BSP directory:
+{{{#!bash
+./newport/getkey.py bdk/trust-keys/hw-rot-private.pem
+}}}
+
+Before doing this permanently there is a way to 'soft' blow the fuses where you can perform a warm reset to verify everything boots as expected.
+
+Gateworks provides an octeontxotp application on its pre-built buildroot based minimal kernel+ramdisk that can be used for provisioning boards. This program can be used to blow the fuses necessary to enable trusted boot:
+ * soft blow (for testing)
+{{{#!bash
+octeontxotp --rotpk $ROTPK
+octeontxotp --tz_force
+octeontxotp --fj_dis
+i2cset -f -y 0 0x20 0 0 # disable power-cycle on reset
+octeontxotp --reset
+}}}
+ * hard blow (after testing via soft blow) **this is permanent and you will no longer be able to JTAG program or RMA your board**)
+{{{#!bash
+octeontxotp --hard --force --rotpk $ROTPK
+octeontxotp --hard --force --lock rotpk
+octeontxotp --hard --force --tz_force
+octeontxotp --hard --force --fj_dis
+}}}
