The idea of distro-boot was to make it easier for Linux distributions to update the information needed by U-Boot to find the right kernel and ramdisk.
According to doc/README.distro file extlinux.conf should be used for the communication between the distribution and U-Boot. Some distributions like Debian still rely on boot.scr.
Many distributions (OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Suse, Fedora) have moved from distro-boot to UEFI as booting standard. Unfortunately we have not documented our support for this in doc/README.distro (TODO for me). Takahiro is working on secure boot using UEFI. Once completed this could obsolete FIT images.
Would we expect Linux distributions to provide FIT images upon kernel updates? Is there any Linux distribution doing so?
Only if we can answer these questions with yes, adding FIT_BOOT_CMD to distro-boot would make sense to me.

Well, UEFI secure boot handles PE(+) images and doesn't cover dtb, initrd or whatever FIT may contain.

You are right. U-boot need to read he signature from dtb.

Doesn't this overwrite the boot_a_script in distro_bootcmd?
Would it make sense to add FIT booting to the distro boot command?
Regards, Matthias
Yes, it overwrite the boot_a_script in distro_bootcmd. It is make sense to add this to the distro boot command. I can send another patch to move these lines to common code later.
Question to the people just added, as you have relevant submission to distroboot. Do you think it makes sense to add FIT_BOOT_CMD to that?
Regards, Matthias
The idea of distro-boot was to make it easier for Linux distributions to update the information needed by U-Boot to find the right kernel and ramdisk.
According to doc/README.distro file extlinux.conf should be used for the communication between the distribution and U-Boot. Some distributions like Debian still rely on boot.scr.
Many distributions (OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Suse, Fedora) have moved from distro-boot to UEFI as booting standard. Unfortunately we have not documented our support for this in doc/README.distro (TODO for me). Takahiro is working on secure boot using UEFI. Once completed this could obsolete FIT images.
Would we expect Linux distributions to provide FIT images upon kernel updates? Is there any Linux distribution doing so?
Embedded Linux, a new distribution from ARM, is using FIT images to update kernel. https://os.mbed.com/docs/mbed-linux-os/v0.8/welcome/index.html
Ok, so secure boot does not provide all capabilities that FIT images do and there exists a distro which uses FIT images. I think that's enough to add FIT_BOOT_CMD to distro_boot.
So please do so. Sorry that this has taken longer then expected.

Enable verified boot from FIT image with select configs and specify boot script image node in FIT image, the FIT image is verified before it is run.
Code that reusing dtb in firmware is disabled, so that the dtb with pubic key packed in u-boot.bin can be used to verify the signature of next stage FIT image.

Oh please no.

Only if we can answer these questions with yes, adding FIT_BOOT_CMD to distro-boot would make sense to me.
U-Boot is the main boot loader for ARM. I wish that distros would just support it (adding what is needed) instead of trying to pretend that U-Boot is a variant of UEFI :-)
I think having a default secure boot option is useful, but how does the image get signed? Regards, Simon

Distros may have a different viewpoint than you. They may not want to add anything boot loader specific and are happy if all systems independent of their architecture can be booted in the same way, e.g. via UEFI and GRUB. Cf. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/uEFIforARMv7
Currently OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Fedora, and Suse rely on booting via UEFI. And Debian is ready for it.
That U-Boot implements the UEFI API and this is in wide use in no way contradicts U-Boot being the main boot loader for ARM.
Nothing pretended here ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Well I am not keen on the complexity and layers of obfuscation created by UEFI, and grub. We have so many layers....
