wolfBoot Secure Boot Aarch64 support with Xilinx ZynqMP and Raspberry Pi

wolfSSL is excited to announce wolfBoot support for Aarch64 platforms with out-of-the box examples for Xilinx ZynqMP and Raspberry Pi 3+.

On the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC wolfBoot can replace U-Boot to provide enhanced support for feature such as:

  • Boot failure detection and use of alternate secondary image.
  • Update swapping of partitions.
  • Image integrity checking SHA256 or SHA3-384.
  • Validation of the signature using ECC P256, ED25519 or RSA (2048-bit or 3072-bit).
  • Root of trust options:
    • Key embedded in wolfBoot image partition
    • Key from TPM 2.0 module using wolfTPM (ST33 / SLB95670 / ATTPM20)
    • Key from secure elements such as ST-SAFEA100 and ATECC608A
