Dear all,

I've googled that OMAP HS are checking some kind of signature (applications

be able to work with non-signed binaries? The problem is that I want to get

board but have no keys.


no, it cannot be turned off, that would somehow counteract the high part in high 
security


If somebody can send me the OMAP2420 HS (or similar) datasheet, I'll really 
appreciate that.


hehe, nice try... :-)

 The problem is that I want to get kernel running on custom OMAP2420-HS board
 but have no keys.

With out keys it's mostly impossible to introduce new boot code into the system.

There isn't a practical way to 'turn off HS' with out destroying the omap chip 
itself.

The way to add code would be through what ever mechanism the OEM has left to 
add code into the system (if any).  From there depending on software some kind 
of KEXEC could be attempted.
