I'm starting from the X-CUBE-SBSFU release v2.6.2, using the B-L475E-IOT01A - 2_Images_ExtFlash as a reference. I've done the minimum porting required to run this on an STM32L4A6 target.
I'm seeing an inconsistent issue where the SBSFU boots up and attempts to verify the Active Slot fw header signature, but fails. The inconsistency seems tied to the build process, specifically the final step of building the UserApp + postbuild script to generate the combined SBSFU_UserApp.bin.
On a 'good' build, I can flash the SBSFU_UserApp.bin onto the target and it will consistently boot successfully, regardless of the number of re-flash or reboot attempts.
On a 'bad' build, I can flash the SBSFU_UserApp.bin onto the target and it will consistently fail to boot successfully, regardless of the number of re-flash or reboot attempts.

========= End of Execution ==========
Again, the only step I'm changing in this process is rebuilding the UserApp + postbuild script. SBSFU and SECoreBin are not being rebuilt. It seems to have a ~50% success rate as to whether I'll encounter the error above each time I build/package the UserApp.
When I debugged inside of the SBSFU and SECoreBin, I found the following:
- SBSFU calls SFU_IMG_VerifyActiveImgMetadata (sfu_boot.c line 1059)
- Calling CheckAndGetFWHeader (sfu_fwimg_common.c line 709)
- Calling VerifyHeaderSignature (sfu_fwimg_common.c line 362)
- Calling SE_VerifyHeaderSignature (sfu_fwimg_common.c line 120)
- Ultimately reaching SE_SP_SMUGGLE (se_callgate.c line 316), consisting of assembly calls which return SE_ERROR.
The SE_SP_SMUGGLE returning an error is in the same place another issue I have fails as well, I'm guessing they may be related (https://community.st.com/t5/stm32-mcus-security/sbsfu-not-detecting-active-slot-image/td-p/741961)
