| 13 | The SPL image is responsible for loading the next stage boot loader, which is |
| 14 | the main u-boot image. For secure boot process on these platforms ROM verifies |
| 15 | SPL image, so to continue chain of trust SPL image verifies U-boot image using |
| 16 | spl_validate_uboot(). This function uses QorIQ Trust Architecture header |
| 17 | (appended to U-boot image) to validate the U-boot binary just before passing |
| 18 | control to it. |
