7.1.2 Hardware Tools

There are multiple hardware tools that can help in developing with the TA010-TFLXAUTH. Check the Microchip website for the availability of additional tools that are not mentioned here. Specific tools are also mentioned with the specific use case examples.

DM320118 – CryptoAuthentication Trust Platform

The DM320118 is a compact development system consisting of an ATSAMD21 microcontroller, 1-each of the ATECC608B-TNGTLS, ATECC608B-TFLXTLS and ATECC608B-TCSM Trust devices, a USB Hub, a mikroBUS™ connector and an on-board debugger. Through use of the mikroBUS header, additional types of devices can be configured with the Trust Platform Design Suite of tools and used to implement various use cases with a wide variety of devices. The kit can be used with either MPLAB® X or Microchip Studio Design environments to develop applications.

EV74C12A – TA010 CryptoAuto

The EV74C12A is a mikroBUS extension board that contains one TA010 I²C device, one TA010 SWI device and one TA100 host device with both a SPI and I²C interface. These devices are generic devices that have not been provisioned. The board can be directly connected to a DM320118 or any host board that supports a mikroBUS host interface.

DM320109 – CryptoAuthentication Starter Kit

The DM320109 consists of an ATSAMD21-XPRO development board pre-programmed with firmware that can work with CryptoAuthentication devices. The kit comes with the AT88CKSCKTSOIC-XPRO socket board, but you will need to obtain the UDFN version of the board to work with the sample devices that are currently provided only in the UDFN package. Specific samples of the TA010-TFLXAUTH will need to be obtained separately.

AT88CKSCKTUDFN(SOIC)-XPRO

The AT88CKSCKTUDFN-XPRO and AT88CKSCKTSOIC-XPRO are generic CryptoAuthentication socket kits that can be used with any Microcontroller development board with an XPRO interface. Specific samples of the TA010-TFLXAUTH must be acquired to be used with these kits.
