Android Verified Boot 2.0 This file contains information about the current support of Android Verified Boot 2.0 in U-boot 1. 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: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/avb/+/master/README.md 2. AVB 2.0 U-BOOT SHELL COMMANDS ----------------------------------- Provides CLI interface to invoke AVB 2.0 verification + misc. commands for different testing purposes: avb init - initialize avb 2.0 for avb verify - run verification process using hash data from vbmeta structure avb read_rb - read rollback index at location avb write_rb - write rollback index to avb is_unlocked - returns unlock status of the device avb get_uuid - read and print uuid of partition avb read_part - read bytes from partition to buffer avb write_part - write bytes to by using data from 3. 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 4. ENABLE ON YOUR BOARD ----------------------------------- The following options must be enabled: CONFIG_LIBAVB=y CONFIG_AVB_VERIFY=y CONFIG_CMD_AVB=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; \ 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 := 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
