password protected uboot login..

Closed this issue · 5 comments

is it possible password protected uboot login for security reason..??

Considering how easy it is to replace u-boot.img, it's kinda hard to say that would secure anything. You need to start earlier, with encrypted binaries using ti bootrom. You'd also disable u-boot console and store your uEnv.txt inside u-boot.

Good luck! It's just something I'm not personally interested in.

There are things like silent boot:

you can also change the boot delay to 0 and i belive there is a disable for the auto char access.
