Can UEFI Secure Boot and Disk Encryption Be Enabled Simultaneously?

I am following the steps in the Developer Guide to enable both UEFI Secure Boot and Disk Encryption. However, so far, I have only been able to enable one of them at a time.

As a next step, I am considering enabling UEFI Secure Boot from Linux on the target board (referring this section) while Disk Encryption is already enabled. Is this a valid approach?

If it is, could you please provide guidance on any specific steps to follow or precautions to be aware of?

  • Target Device: Photon board by Connect Tech + Orin NX 16GB
  • JetPack Version: 5.1.3

hello kushiki.yusuke,

may I know what’s your error logs, have you also narrow down the failure was caused by UEFI SecureBoot or Disk Encryption?

Thank you for your response.

There are no explicit error logs at this time. My main question is whether the steps provided in the online documentation for UEFI Secure Boot and Disk Encryption were written with the assumption that both features would be enabled simultaneously.

To clarify further, my intent is to confirm whether this approach is valid and whether the documentation covers this specific use case. At this stage, I am not encountering any errors, and my primary goal is to verify the assumptions behind the procedure described in the documentation.

hello kushiki.yusuke,

yes, we did verified UEFI SecureBoot + Disk Encryption to be enabled simultaneously, although we’ve tested on AGX Orin.
please see-also Topic 310592 for reference.
