7.1.2 Hardware Tools
There are multiple hardware tools that can help in developing with the ECC204-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, one each of the ATECC608B-TNGTLS, ATECC608B-TFLXTLS and ATECC608B-TCSM Trust devices, a USB hub, a mikroBUS™ connector and the NEDBG 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 MPLAB® X IDE to develop applications.
EV89U05A – CryptoAuthentication™ Pro Trust Platform
The CryptoAuth Pro Trust Platform kit extends the CryptoAuth Trust Platform with a more powerful Cortex M4 microcontroller, four on-board CryptoAuthentication devices, two mikroBUS™ sockets, and an on-board 10/100 Mbit Ethernet PHY. The board also contains the Microchip Technology PKoB4 debugger, which is compatible with MPLAB®X IDE. The application microcontroller has been configured to readily make use of many of the features provided on the board.
Similar to the DM320118, additional CryptoAuthentication™ and CryptoAutomotive™ devices can be used with the board through the mikroBUS header. Additionally, two user-programmable switches and LEDs are provided to aid in the development of demonstrations and applications.
EV92R58A – ECC204 CryptoAuth
The EV92R58A is a mikroBUS extension board that contains one ECC204 I2C device, one ECC204 SWI Device and one ATECC608B-TFLXTLS host device with an I2C Interface. The ECC204 devices are generic devices that are not provisioned. The board can be directly connected to a DM320118 or any host board that supports a mikroBUS host interface.
Secure UDFN(SOIC) Click Boards SOIC
The SECURE-UDFN-CLICK and SECURE-SOIC-CLICK are generic CryptoAuthentication socket kits that can be used with any microcontroller development board with a mikroBUS interface. These kits have been developed by MikroElektronika and are available through their website. ECC204-TFLXAUTH samples for use with these boards will need to be obtained separately as they are not included in the kits.
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 ECC204-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 ECC204-TFLXAUTH must be acquired to be used with these kits.
