Thank, but my question was about adding of the public key to dtb file without private key. We won't have private key in our side.

Hi Roman,

Yes, it possible, there is a step to build and another one to sign, that can be separated.

For example, the following command, that build and sign the itb:
# build and sign
mkimage -D "-I dts -O dtb -p 4096" -f ./foo.its -k ./keys -K ./u- boot.dtb -r ./foo.itb

Can be spitted in two:
# build
uboot-mkimage \
    -D "-I dts -O dtb -p 4096" \
    -f ./foo.its \
    ./foo.itb

# sign
uboot-mkimage \
    -D "-I dts -O dtb -p 4096" -F 
    -k ./keys \
    -K ./u-boot.dtb \
    -r \
    ./foo.itb

Then the u-boot*.dtb should contains the pubkey node(s) in the signature node and it can be shared and concatenated to the U-Boot
binary:

make EXT_DTB="./u-boot.dtb"

The dtb containing the public key(s) is useful to verify the signature at the target boot, or with the tool fit_check_sign to perform an offload checking, for example:

fit_check_sign -f ./foo.itb -k ./u-boot.dtb

Best regards,
Thomas Perrot
