Verified Boot for Embedded (VBE)
|
||||
================================
|
||||
|
||||
Introduction
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
VBE provides a standard boot mechanism for embedded systems. If defines
|
||||
how firmware and Operating Systems are located, updated and verified.
|
||||
|
||||
Within U-Boot, one or more VBE bootmeths implement the boot logic. For example,
|
||||
the vbe-simple bootmeth handles finding the firmware (e.g. in MMC) and starting
|
||||
it. Typically the bootmeth is started up in VPL and controls which SPL and
|
||||
U-Boot binaries are loaded.
|
||||
|
||||
A 'vbe' command provides access to various aspects of VBE's operation, including
|
||||
listing methods and getting the status for a method.
|
||||
|
||||
For a detailed overview of VBE, see vbe-intro_. A fuller description of
|
||||
bootflows is at vbe-bootflows_ and the firmware-update mechanism is described at
|
||||
vbe-fwupdate_.
