1Introduction

This document mainly introduces how to use the secure boot function of Quectel SC20 module.

Secure boot refers to the boot up sequence that establishes a trusted platform for secure applications. It

starts as an immutable sequence that validates the origin of the code using cryptographic authentication

so only authorized software can be executed. The boot up sequence places SC20 in a known security

state and protects it against binary manipulation of software and reflashing attacks.

A secure boot system adds cryptographic checks to each stage of the boot up process. This process

asserts the authenticity of all secure software images that are executed by SC20. The additional check

prevents any unauthorized or maliciously modified software from running on SC20. Secure boot is

enabled through a set of hardware fuses. For the code to be executed, it must be signed by the trusted

entity identified in the hardware fuses.

The flow to enable secure boot:

1. Configure OEM Key. The new keys can be used to sign images and generate sec.dat

2. Generate secure images, download signed images (use fastboot or QFIL tool)

3. Generate sec.dat and download it to SC20. Once secure boot fuses are blown, the device cannot

use other keys.

2MSM8909 Secure Boot Flowchart

Figure 1: MSM8909 Secure Boot Flowchart

1. Power on the system and take MSM8909AP CPU out from RESET.

2. Cortex-A7 APPS PBL:

a. Loads, executes, and authenticates the SBL1 segment #1 from SC20 to L2 (as TCM).

b. Loads, executes, and authenticates SBL1 segment #2* (DDR/SDI equivalent) to RPM code RAM,

then jumps to SBL1.

3. SBL1#1

a. Loads and authenticates the QSEE/TZ image from the boot device to DDR.

b. Loads and authenticates the RPM firmware image from the boot device to RPM code RAM.

c. Loads and authenticates the HLOS APPSBL image from the boot device to DDR.

4. SBL1 #1 transfers execution to QSEE/TZ.

5. QSEE/TZ sets up secure environment and brings RPM out of RESET to start execution of RPM

firmware.

6. QSEE/TZ jumps to HLOSAPPSBL to start execution.

SBL1 segment#2 is equal to DDR driver + SDI equivalent copied to RPM code RAM.

DDR is initialized by SBL1 segment#2 and part of the SDI functionality included in SBL1 segment#2.

7. HLOS APPSBL loads and authenticates the HLOS kernel.

8. HLOS kernel:

a. Loads the Modem Boot Authenticator (MBA) to DDR via PIL.

b. Brings modem DSP Q6 out of RESET.

c. Loads the AMSS modem image to DDR via PIL.

c’. Modem PBL copies the MBA from DDR to modem TCM, authenticates MBA and finally jumps to

MBA image.

c”. MBA authenticates modem image and then jumps to modem.

d. HLOS loads the Pronto image to DDR via PIL.

d’. HLOS brings Pronto out of RESET and Pronto image starts execution.

3Configure OEM Key

The flow to configure OEM key is illustrated below:

1. Extract sectool.tar, and then overwrite the directory “common/tools/sectools”.

2. Extract makeCrt.tar, run makecrt.dat, and then copy new keys to

“common/tools/sectools/resources/data_prov_assets/Signing/Local/oem_certs”

sectool.tar and makeCrt.tar are available in the “Tools”directory.
