bootgen.git - Source code for Xilinx Bootgen

Overview

This repository contains source code to build Bootgen for SoC devices.

This repository provides NO support for traditional FPGA devices (Artix, Kintex, and Virtex families). These features are only available as part of Bootgen shipped with Vivado tools.

For SoC devices (Zynq-7000, Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC, etc), this repository includes support for all features of BootGen, including BIN file construction and boot-time authentication and encryption based on OpenSSL (see details below).

For more details about Bootgen usage, please refer to Xilinx UG1283.

Obfuscated Key generation

Bootgen also supports Obfuscated Key generation using a Xilinx proprietary software. If you are using this proprietary flow, please contact a Xilinx® representative at 'secure.solutions@xilinx.com'for details and to ensure export compliance.

Build instructions

Platform Support

Bootgen can be built for both Linux and Windows operating systems. It can be compiled natively for x86-based computers as well as cross-compiled for ARM-based platforms.

The following 3rd party packages are required to build Bootgen:

• OpenSSL v1.1.1b libraries

  • Windows libraries are available at http://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html
  • Linux libraries are part of libssl-dev package

Linux Builds

A Makefile is included along with the code to build Bootgen for Linux. This Makefile creates an executable named bootgen, when run.

1. Install OpenSSL libraries.

2. In the bootgen directory, run

   make

3. If OpenSSL libraries are located at a custom path, you can link with these libraries as given below.

   Assuming OpenSSL libraries are located at /home/$USER/local/openssl,

   make "LIBS=/home/$USER/local/openssl/lib/libssl.a /home/$USER/local/openssl/lib/libcrypto.a -ldl -lpthread"
   "INCLUDE_USER=-I/home/$USER/local/openssl/include"

Windows Builds

1. Download and install "Win64 OpenSSL v1.1.1b", from http://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html.

2. Use Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 to build Bootgen source code and link it . with OpenSSL libraries downloaded in previous step.

Cross-compiling Bootgen

Bootgen can be cross-compiled to run on Xilinx processors.

1. Cross-compile openssl libraries.

2. Cross-compile Bootgen code and link against the libraries built above make "CROSS_COMPILER=aarch64-linux-gnu-g++" "LIBS=<opensslarm/lib/libssl.a>
   <opensslarm/lib/libcrypto.a> -ldl -lpthread" "INCLUDE_USER=-I<opensslarm/include>"'
