+Measured Boot
+=====================
+
+U-Boot can perform a measured boot, the process of hashing various components
+of the boot process, extending the results in the TPM and logging the
+component's measurement in memory for the operating system to consume.
+
+By default, U-Boot will measure the operating system (linux) image, the

The OS image would mean the root file system? I guess you mean the
loaded EFI binary here. Measured boot is not Linux specific.

We should consider different scenarios:

* U-Boot loading kernel, initrd, device-tree
* U-Boot loading GRUB (or another boot manager), device-tree,
  GRUB loading initrd
* U-Boot loading GRUB and passing a device-tree to GRUB,
  GRUB loading initrd and a new device-tree

With the documentation the user should be enabled to understand what
U-Boot measures in each of these cases. Please, observe that upstream
GRUB uses LoadImage() while distros (e.g. Debian and Ubuntu) tend to
bypass LoadImage().

Arent't there some other objects measured?

- SMBIOS table
- ACPI tables (still to be implemented)
- EFI variables

+initrd image, and the "bootargs" environment variable. By enabling
+CONFIG_MEASURE_DEVICETREE, U-Boot will also measure the devicetree image.
+
+The operating system typically would verify that the hashes found in the
+TPM PCRs match the contents of the event log. This can further be checked
+against the hash results of previous boots.
+
+Requirements
+---------------------
+
+* A hardware TPM 2.0 supported by the U-Boot drivers
+* CONFIG_TPM=y
+* CONFIG_MEASURED_BOOT=y
+* Device-tree configuration of the TPM device to specify the memory area
+  for event logging. The TPM device node must either contain a phandle to
+  a reserved memory region or "linux,sml-base" and "linux,sml-size"
+  indicating the address and size of the memory region. An example can be
+  found in arch/sandbox/dts/test.dts
+* The operating system must also be configured to use the memory regions
+  specified in the U-Boot device-tree in order to make use of the event
+  log.
