+Secure Boot on i.MX6
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+For most boards, the secure boot process on i.MX6 consist of the following image
+constellation::
+
+ 0x0 +---------------------------------+
+ | Barebox Header |
+ 0x400 +---------------------------------+ -
+ | i.MX IVT Header | |
+ | Boot Data +--+ |
+ | CSF Pointer +--|-+ | Signed Area
+ +---------------------------------+ | | |
+ | Device Configuration Data (DCD) | | | |
+ 0x1000 +---------------------------------+ | | |
+ | Barebox Prebootloader (PBL) |<-+ | |
+ +---------------------------------+ | |
+ | Piggydata (Main Barebox Binary) | | |
+ +---------------------------------+ | -
+ | Command Sequence File (CSF) |<---+
+ +---------------------------------+
+
+Here the Command Sequence File signs the complete Header, PBL and piggy data
+file. This ensures that the whole barebox binary is authenticated. This is
+possible since the DDR RAM is configured using the DCD and the whole DDR memory
+area can be used to load data onto the device for authentication.
+The boot ROM loads the CSF area and barebox into memory and uses the CSF to
+verify the complete barebox binary.
+
+Boards which do require a boot via SRAM, need changes akin to the implementation
+for i.MX8MQ described in the next chapter.
+
+Secure Boot on i.MX8MQ
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+For i.MX8MQ the image has the following design::
+
+ 0x0 +---------------------------------+
+ | Barebox Header |
+ +---------------------------------+
+ | i.MX IVT Header |
+ | HDMI Firmware (Signed by NXP) |
+ +---------------------------------+ -
+ | i.MX IVT Header | |
+ | Boot Data +--+ |
+ | CSF Pointer +--|-+ |
+ +---------------------------------+ | | | Signed Area
+ | Device Configuration Data (DCD) | | | |
+ +---------------------------------+ | | |
+ | Barebox Prebootloader (PBL) |<-+ | |
+ | Piggydata Hash (SHA256) +----|-+ |
+ +---------------------------------+ | | -
+ | Command Sequence File (CSF) |<---+ |
+ +---------------------------------+ | -
+ | Piggydata (Main Barebox Binary) |<-----+ | Hashed Area
+ +---------------------------------+ -
+
+In contrast to i.MX6, for the i.MX8MQ the piggydata can not be signed together
+with the PBL binary. The DDR memory is initialized during the start of the PBL,
+previous to this no access to the DDR memory is possible. Since the Tightly
+Coupled Memory used for early startup on i.MX8MQ has only 256Kib, the whole
+barebox can't be loaded and verified at once, since the complete barebox with
+firmware has a size of ~500Kib.
+
+The bootrom loads the HDMI firmware unconditionally, since it is signed by NXP.
+Afterwards the Prebootloader (PBL) is loaded into SRAM and the bootrom proceeds
+to verify the PBL according to the Command Sequence File (CSF). The verified
+PBL initializes the ARM Trusted Firmware (TF-A) and DDR RAM. It subsequently
+loads the piggydata from the boot media and calculates the sha256sum of the
+piggydata. This is compared to the sha256sum built into the PBL during compile
+time, the PBL will only continue to boot if the sha256sum matches the builtin
+sha256sum.

-Barebox specific devicetree bindings
-====================================
+Barebox devicetree handling and bindings
+========================================
+
+The preferred way of adding board support to barebox is to have devices
+on non-enumerable buses probed from device tree.
+barebox imports the Linux OpenFirmware ``of_*``-API functions for device tree
+parsing, which makes porting the device tree specific bits from device drivers
+very straight forward.
+
+Additionally, barebox has support for programmatically fixing up device trees
+it passes to the kernel, either directly via ``of_register_fixup`` or via device
+tree overlays.
+
+Upstream Device Trees
+---------------------
+
+barebox regularly synchronizes with the Linux kernel device tree definitions
+via the `kernel.org Split device-tree repository`_.
+They are located under the top-level ``dts/`` directory.
+
+Patches against ``dts/`` and its subdirectories are not accepted upstream.
+
+.. _kernel.org Split device-tree repository: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/devicetree/devicetree-rebasing.git/
+
+barebox Device Trees
+--------------------
+
+For supporting architectures, barebox device trees are located in
+``arch/$ARCH/dts``. Usually the barebox ``board.dts`` imports the upstream
+device tree under ``dts/src/$ARCH`` with ``#include "$ARCH/board.dts"`` and
+then extends it with barebox-specifics like :ref:`barebox,state`,
+environment or boot-time device configuration.
+
+Device Tree Compiler
+--------------------
+
+barebox makes use of the ``dtc`` and ``fdtget`` and the underlying ``libfdt``
+from the `Device-Tree Compiler`_ project.
+
+.. _Device-Tree Compiler: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/dtc/dtc.git
+
+These utilities are built as part of the barebox build process. Additionally,
+libfdt is compiled once more as part of the ``CONFIG_BOARD_ARM_GENERIC_DT``
+if selected.
+
+Steps to update ``scripts/dtc``:
+
+* Place a ``git-checkout`` of the upstream ``dtc`` directory in the parent
+ directory of your barebox ``git-checkout``.
+* Run ``scripts/dtc/update-dtc-source.sh`` from the top-level barebox directory.
+* Wait till ``dtc`` build, test, install and commit conclude.
+* Compile-test with ``CONFIG_BOARD_ARM_GENERIC_DT=y``.
+* If ``scripts/dtc/Makefile`` or barebox include file changes are necessary,
+ apply them manually in a commit preceding the ``dtc`` update.
