This has nothing to do with the Secure Boot extensions implemented by Simon Glass, that can be in any case used to boot later a secure image. Freescale's secure boot ensures that a signed bootloader is started only if it is verified with a key that is burned into the iMX fuses. Documentation about the Freescale's secure process can be read from the AN4591, available on the Freescale's Website.
Where does Marek's patch fall in here exactly?
Marek's patch is intended to add support for mxs based processor (mx23 / mx28) and it is quite parallel to mine and I think Marek will replace Freescale's own tool elftosb.
Should he be based on top of yours, yours on his? It should all go via u-boot-imx, so you'll have to do the merging anyhow :)
I agree - I will do the merge with Marek's patch ;-). If there are some conflicts (I have not yet tried), I will solve them directly with Marek.
Best regards, Stefano
