FSBL is not supported at the moment. We use TF-A for that.

Not sure how this relates to booting over USB? You shouldn't need any
fuses burnt (but you can probably burn some to stop fallback to DFU)

No, they aren't. The current barebox implementation doesn't set up SDRAM and doesn't install
a secure monitor.

USB on the STM32MP1 is not yet complete. I posted some basic patches for the PHY, but we still
need host USB driver adjustments and a gadget driver for the DWC2.

I don't think so. We will want to have a solution for this eventually though. Probably some
wrapper script that uses DFU to talk to BootROM, then to vendor TF-A, then to barebox.

As I understood, that's what the STM32CubeProgrammer is doing and it's shipped with
a FSBL and SSBL already for bootstrapping a system. Have you tried using that to
flash barebox?
