Android Verified Boot 2.0
|
||||
=========================
|
||||
|
||||
This file contains information about the current support of Android Verified
|
||||
Boot 2.0 in U-Boot.
|
||||
|
||||
Overview
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
Verified Boot establishes a chain of trust from the bootloader to system images:
|
||||
|
||||
* Provides integrity checking for:
|
||||
|
||||
* Android Boot image: Linux kernel + ramdisk. RAW hashing of the whole
|
||||
partition is done and the hash is compared with the one stored in
|
||||
the VBMeta image
|
||||
* ``system``/``vendor`` partitions: verifying root hash of dm-verity hashtrees
|
||||
|
||||
* Provides capabilities for rollback protection
|
||||
|
||||
Integrity of the bootloader (U-Boot BLOB and environment) is out of scope.
|
||||
|
||||
For additional details check [1]_.
|
||||
|
||||
AVB using OP-TEE (optional)
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
If AVB is configured to use OP-TEE (see `Enable on your board`_) rollback
|
||||
indexes and device lock state are stored in RPMB. The RPMB partition is managed
|
||||
by OP-TEE (see [2]_ for details) which is a secure OS leveraging ARM
|
||||
TrustZone.
|
||||
|
||||
AVB 2.0 U-Boot shell commands
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Provides CLI interface to invoke AVB 2.0 verification + misc. commands for
|
||||
different testing purposes::
|
||||
|
||||
avb init <dev> - initialize avb 2.0 for <dev>
|
||||
avb verify - run verification process using hash data from vbmeta structure
|
||||
avb read_rb <num> - read rollback index at location <num>
|
||||
avb write_rb <num> <rb> - write rollback index <rb> to <num>
|
||||
avb is_unlocked - returns unlock status of the device
|
||||
avb get_uuid <partname> - read and print uuid of partition <partname>
|
||||
avb read_part <partname> <offset> <num> <addr> - read <num> bytes from
|
||||
partition <partname> to buffer <addr>
|
||||
avb write_part <partname> <offset> <num> <addr> - write <num> bytes to
|
||||
<partname> by <offset> using data from <addr>
|
||||
|
||||
Partitions tampering (example)
|
||||
------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Boot or system/vendor (dm-verity metadata section) is tampered::
|
||||
|
||||
=> avb init 1
|
||||
=> avb verify
|
||||
avb_slot_verify.c:175: ERROR: boot: Hash of data does not match digest in
|
||||
descriptor.
|
||||
Slot verification result: ERROR_IO
|
||||
|
||||
Vbmeta partition is tampered::
|
||||
|
||||
=> avb init 1
|
||||
=> avb verify
|
||||
avb_vbmeta_image.c:206: ERROR: Hash does not match!
|
||||
avb_slot_verify.c:388: ERROR: vbmeta: Error verifying vbmeta image:
|
||||
HASH_MISMATCH
|
||||
Slot verification result: ERROR_IO
|
||||
|
||||
Enable on your board
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The following options must be enabled::
|
||||
|
||||
CONFIG_LIBAVB=y
|
||||
CONFIG_AVB_VERIFY=y
|
||||
CONFIG_CMD_AVB=y
|
||||
|
||||
In addtion optionally if storing rollback indexes in RPMB with help of
|
||||
OP-TEE::
|
||||
|
||||
CONFIG_TEE=y
|
||||
CONFIG_OPTEE=y
|
||||
CONFIG_OPTEE_TA_AVB=y
|
||||
CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_RPMB=y
|
||||
|
||||
Then add ``avb verify`` invocation to your android boot sequence of commands,
|
||||
e.g.::
|
||||
|
||||
=> avb_verify=avb init $mmcdev; avb verify;
|
||||
=> if run avb_verify; then \
|
||||
echo AVB verification OK. Continue boot; \
|
||||
set bootargs $bootargs $avb_bootargs; \
|
||||
else \
|
||||
echo AVB verification failed; \
|
||||
exit; \
|
||||
fi; \
|
||||
|
||||
=> emmc_android_boot= \
|
||||
echo Trying to boot Android from eMMC ...; \
|
||||
... \
|
||||
run avb_verify; \
|
||||
mmc read ${fdtaddr} ${fdt_start} ${fdt_size}; \
|
||||
mmc read ${loadaddr} ${boot_start} ${boot_size}; \
|
||||
bootm $loadaddr $loadaddr $fdtaddr; \
|
||||
|
||||
If partitions you want to verify are slotted (have A/B suffixes), then current
|
||||
slot suffix should be passed to ``avb verify`` sub-command, e.g.::
|
||||
|
||||
=> avb verify _a
|
||||
|
||||
To switch on automatic generation of vbmeta partition in AOSP build, add these
|
||||
lines to device configuration mk file::
|
||||
|
||||
BOARD_AVB_ENABLE := true
|
||||
BOARD_AVB_ALGORITHM := SHA512_RSA4096
|
||||
BOARD_BOOTIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := <boot partition size>
|
||||
|
||||
After flashing U-Boot don't forget to update environment and write new
|
||||
partition table::
|
||||
|
||||
=> env default -f -a
|
||||
=> setenv partitions $partitions_android
|
||||
=> env save
|
||||
=> gpt write mmc 1 $partitions_android

|
||||
---------------------------------
|
||||
If AVB is configured to use OP-TEE (see 4. below) rollback indexes and
|
||||
device lock state are stored in RPMB. The RPMB partition is managed by
|
||||
OP-TEE (https://www.op-tee.org/) which is a secure OS leveraging ARM

|
||||
4. ENABLE ON YOUR BOARD
|
||||
-----------------------------------
|
||||
The following options must be enabled:
|
||||
CONFIG_LIBAVB=y
|
||||
CONFIG_AVB_VERIFY=y
|
||||
CONFIG_CMD_AVB=y
|
||||

CONFIG_OPTEE=y
|
||||
CONFIG_OPTEE_TA_AVB=y
|
||||
CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_RPMB=y
|
||||
|
||||
Then add `avb verify` invocation to your android boot sequence of commands,
|
||||
e.g.:
|
||||
|
||||
=> avb_verify=avb init $mmcdev; avb verify;
|
||||
=> if run avb_verify; then \

|
||||
mmc read ${loadaddr} ${boot_start} ${boot_size}; \
|
||||
bootm $loadaddr $loadaddr $fdtaddr; \
|
||||
|
||||
If partitions you want to verify are slotted (have A/B suffixes), then current
|
||||
slot suffix should be passed to 'avb verify' sub-command, e.g.:
|
||||
|
||||
=> avb verify _a
|
||||
|
||||
To switch on automatic generation of vbmeta partition in AOSP build, add these

Android Bootloader Control Block (BCB)
|
||||
======================================
|
||||
|
||||
The purpose behind this file is to:
|
||||
|
||||
* give an overview of BCB w/o duplicating public documentation
|
||||
* describe the main BCB use-cases which concern U-Boot
|
||||
* reflect current support status in U-Boot
|
||||
* mention any relevant U-Boot build-time tunables
|

* precisely exemplify one or more use-cases
|

|
||||
Additions and fixes are welcome!
|
||||
|
||||
Overview
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
Bootloader Control Block (BCB) is a well established term/acronym in
|
||||
the Android namespace which refers to a location in a dedicated raw
|
||||
(i.e. FS-unaware) flash (e.g. eMMC) partition, usually called ``misc``,
|
||||
which is used as media for exchanging messages between Android userspace
|
||||
(particularly recovery [1]_) and an Android-capable bootloader.
|
||||
|
||||
On higher level, BCB provides a way to implement a subset of Android
|
||||
Bootloader Requirements [2]_, amongst which are:
|
||||
|
||||
* Android-specific bootloader flow [3]_
|
||||
* Get the "reboot reason" (and act accordingly) [4]_
|
||||
* Get/pass a list of commands from/to recovery [1]_
|
||||
* TODO
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
'bcb'. Shell command overview
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The ``bcb`` command provides a CLI to facilitate the development of the
|
||||
requirements enumerated above. Below is the command's help message::
|
||||
|
||||
=> bcb
|
||||
bcb - Load/set/clear/test/dump/store Android BCB fields
|
||||
|
||||
Usage:
|
||||
bcb load <dev> <part> - load BCB from mmc <dev>:<part>
|
||||
bcb set <field> <val> - set BCB <field> to <val>
|
||||
bcb clear [<field>] - clear BCB <field> or all fields
|
||||
bcb test <field> <op> <val> - test BCB <field> against <val>
|
||||
bcb dump <field> - dump BCB <field>
|
||||
bcb store - store BCB back to mmc
|
||||
|
||||
Legend:
|
||||
<dev> - MMC device index containing the BCB partition
|
||||
<part> - MMC partition index or name containing the BCB
|
||||
<field> - one of {command,status,recovery,stage,reserved}
|
||||
<op> - the binary operator used in 'bcb test':
|
||||
'=' returns true if <val> matches the string stored in <field>
|
||||
'~' returns true if <val> matches a subset of <field>'s string
|
||||
<val> - string/text provided as input to bcb {set,test}
|
||||
NOTE: any ':' character in <val> will be replaced by line feed
|
||||
during 'bcb set' and used as separator by upper layers
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
'bcb'. Example of getting reboot reason
|
||||
---------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
if bcb load 1 misc; then
|
||||
# valid BCB found
|
||||
if bcb test command = bootonce-bootloader; then
|
||||
bcb clear command; bcb store;
|
||||
# do the equivalent of AOSP ${fastbootcmd}
|
||||
# i.e. call fastboot
|
||||
else if bcb test command = boot-recovery; then
|
||||
bcb clear command; bcb store;
|
||||
# do the equivalent of AOSP ${recoverycmd}
|
||||
# i.e. do anything required for booting into recovery
|
||||
else
|
||||
# boot Android OS normally
|
||||
fi
|
||||
else
|
||||
# corrupted/non-existent BCB
|

Android Bootloader Control Block (BCB)
|
||||
|
||||
The purpose behind this file is to:
|
||||
- give an overview of BCB w/o duplicating public documentation
|
||||
- describe the main BCB use-cases which concern U-Boot
|
||||
- reflect current support status in U-Boot
|
||||
- mention any relevant U-Boot build-time tunables
|
||||
- precisely exemplify one or more use-cases
|
||||
|
||||
Additions and fixes are welcome!

|
||||
|
||||
1. OVERVIEW
|
||||
---------------------------------
|
||||
Bootloader Control Block (BCB) is a well established term/acronym in
|
||||
the Android namespace which refers to a location in a dedicated raw
|
||||
(i.e. FS-unaware) flash (e.g. eMMC) partition, usually called "misc",
|
||||
which is used as media for exchanging messages between Android userspace
|
||||
(particularly recovery [1]) and an Android-capable bootloader.
|
||||
|
||||
On higher level, BCB provides a way to implement a subset of Android
|
||||
Bootloader Requirements [2], amongst which are:
|
||||
- Android-specific bootloader flow [3]
|
||||
- Get the "reboot reason" (and act accordingly) [4]
|
||||
- Get/pass a list of commands from/to recovery [1]
|
||||
- TODO
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. 'BCB'. SHELL COMMAND OVERVIEW
|
||||
-----------------------------------
|
||||
The 'bcb' command provides a CLI to facilitate the development of the
|
||||
requirements enumerated above. Below is the command's help message:
|
||||
|
||||
=> bcb
|
||||
bcb - Load/set/clear/test/dump/store Android BCB fields
|
||||
|
||||
Usage:
|
||||
bcb load <dev> <part> - load BCB from mmc <dev>:<part>
|
||||
bcb set <field> <val> - set BCB <field> to <val>
|
||||
bcb clear [<field>] - clear BCB <field> or all fields
|
||||
bcb test <field> <op> <val> - test BCB <field> against <val>
|
||||
bcb dump <field> - dump BCB <field>
|
||||
bcb store - store BCB back to mmc
|
||||
|
||||
Legend:
|
||||
<dev> - MMC device index containing the BCB partition
|
||||
<part> - MMC partition index or name containing the BCB
|
||||
<field> - one of {command,status,recovery,stage,reserved}
|
||||
<op> - the binary operator used in 'bcb test':
|
||||
'=' returns true if <val> matches the string stored in <field>
|
||||
'~' returns true if <val> matches a subset of <field>'s string
|
||||
<val> - string/text provided as input to bcb {set,test}
|
||||
NOTE: any ':' character in <val> will be replaced by line feed
|
||||
during 'bcb set' and used as separator by upper layers
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3. 'BCB'. EXAMPLE OF GETTING REBOOT REASON
|
||||
-----------------------------------
|
||||
if bcb load 1 misc; then
|
||||
# valid BCB found
|
||||
if bcb test command = bootonce-bootloader; then
|
||||
bcb clear command; bcb store;
|
||||
# do the equivalent of AOSP ${fastbootcmd}
|
||||
# i.e. call fastboot
|
||||
else if bcb test command = boot-recovery; then
|
||||
bcb clear command; bcb store;
|
||||
# do the equivalent of AOSP ${recoverycmd}
|
||||
# i.e. do anything required for booting into recovery
|
||||
else
|
||||
# boot Android OS normally
|
||||
fi
|
||||
else
|
||||
# corrupted/non-existent BCB
|
||||
# report error or boot non-Android OS (platform-specific)

||||

----------------------
|

====================
|

|

The fastboot protocol is a mechanism for communicating with bootloaders

over USB. It is designed to be very straightforward to implement, to

allow it to be used across a wide range of devices and from hosts running
|

Linux, Windows, or OSX.

Partition aliases
|

-----------------
|

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
Fastboot partition aliases can also be defined for devices where GPT

limitations prevent user-friendly partition names such as "boot", "system"
|

and "cache". Or, where the actual partition name doesn't match a standard

|

The current implementation checks aliases when accessing partitions by

name (flash_write and erase functions). To define a partition alias
|
||||
add an environment variable similar to:
|
||||
add an environment variable similar to::

|
||||
Variable overrides
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
Variables retrived through ``getvar`` can be overridden by defining
|
||||
environment variables of the form ``fastboot.<variable>``. These are
|
||||
looked up first so can be used to override values which would
|
||||
otherwise be returned. Using this mechanism you can also return types
|
||||
for NAND filesystems, as the fully parameterised variable is looked
|
||||
up, e.g.

||||
