Syntax

[auth_params] ppk_select=<0|1>; spk_id <32-bit spk id>;/
 spk_select=<spk-efuse/user-efuse>; auth_header

Description

Authentication parameters specify additional configuration such as which PPK, SPK to use for authentication of the partitions in the boot image. Arguments for this bif parameter are:

  • ppk_select: Selects which PPK to use. Options are 0 (default) or 1.
  • spk_id: Specifies which SPK can be used or revoked. See User eFUSE Support with Enhanced RSA Key Revocation. The default value is 0x00.
  • spk_select: To differentiate spk and user efuses. Options are spk-efuse (default) and user_efuse.
  • header_auth: To authenticate headers when no partition is authenticated.
Note:
  1. ppk_select is unique for each image.
  2. Each partition can have its own spk_select and spk_id.
  3. spk-efuse id is unique across the image, but user-efuse id can vary between partitions.
  4. spk_select/spk_id outside the partition scope will be used for headers and any other partition that does not have these specifications as partition attributes.
