The boot process for the IoT class devices leverages
a one time programmable device and OTP bits. These bits
are baked by the board maker.

My guess is that start.elf or uboot.exe are the places to
start.  These would be visible on a FAT file system for most
devices. There is no such thing as a simple encrypted file system
for the simple reason that file systems are not simple.

Move your crypto as close to the OTP part as possible then decide
if it will fit inside.
