+Using OP-TEE for EFI variables +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Instead of implementing UEFI variable services inside U-Boot they can +also be provided in the secure world by a module for OP-TEE[1]. The +interface between U-Boot and OP-TEE for variable services is enabled by +CONFIG_EFI_MM_COMM_TEE=y. + +Tianocore EDK II's standalone management mode driver for variables can +be linked to OP-TEE for this purpose. This module uses the Replay +Protected Memory Block (RPMB) of an eMMC device for persisting +non-volatile variables. When calling the variable services via the +OP-TEE API U-Boot's OP-TEE supplicant relays calls to the RPMB driver +which has to be enabled via CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_RPMB=y. + +[1] https://optee.readthedocs.io/ - OP-TEE documentation + Executing the boot manager ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
