After unpacking, I kept both files in same folder. When I launch SP flash tool v5.1904 , on loading scatter file, I can't decipher which of the IMG listed is for secro.img. it didn't automatically load section for me.

Hi, I'm looking for the ARM trustzone image, does it reside in the ROM? What would be required to flash it? I'm paranoid that someone might be exploiting it for remote mobile device management
