[PATCH v2 4/5] doc: st: stm32mp1: Add FIP support for trusted boot

Patrick Delaunay patrick.delaunay at foss.st.com
Thu Jul 15 17:22:06 CEST 2021


TF-A for STM32MP15 now supports the FIP: it is a packaging format which
includes the secure monitor, u-boot-nodtb.bin and u-boot.dtb

This FIP file is loaded by FSBL = TF-A BL2.

This patch updates the board documentation to use this FIP file and no
more u-boot.stm32 (with STM32 image header) which is no more generated.
