PROCESSOR-SDK-AM62X: AM62x – Secure Boot: Signed-only → Signed+Encrypted Migration

Part Number: PROCESSOR-SDK-AM62X

Tool/software:

Hi,

For AM62x secure boot setup:

  • I will burn smpk (Secure Master Public Key) into OTP.
  • I also plan to burn an AES-256 key into OTP at the same time.

Questions:

  1. Can I start by deploying signed-only images (no encryption flag in certificate)?
  2. Later, can I switch to signed+encrypted images without any further OTP programming?
  3. Is my understanding correct that:
    • smpk only fused → signed boot only (HS-FS).
    • smpk + AES key fused → BootROM can accept both signed-only or signed+encrypted images depending on cert?
  4. Does SDK support generating encrypted images?

Just want confirmation that provisioning the AES key upfront allows migration from signed-only to signed+encrypted by updating images/certs only.

Thanks.
