1.1.1.6.1 Bootloader Device Configuration Input
Bootloaders like UART, I2C, CAN and SPI support programming of Device Configurations (Fuse Settings) using a dedicated Device confiuration command. The respective host utilities communicating with these bootloaders use a device configuration text file to send the required fuse settings.
The Device configuration command is currently supported for all CORTEX-M based devices except CORTEX-M7.
For Non-TrustZone based CORTEX-M devices
Based on the device Fuse settings are placed in
Only USER Row memory region
Both User Row and BOCOR Row memory regions
User Row/BOCOR row Start address should be provided as part of the device configuration input text file
Syntax
Each configuration row needs to start with ROW_START <address>
Each 32-Bit Fuse bit value must be newline separated
ROW_END needs to be used to indicate end of Fuse bit words for the row
If the Fuse bit values are all 0xFFFFFFFF between the last 32-Bit Fuse and ROW_END it need not be specified as the host utilities will take care of filling the data packet with 0xFF's
Example text file with only User Row
ROW_START 0x00804000 0xB15088FF 0xFFFFF8BB ROW_END
Example text file with both User Row and BOCOR Row
ROW_START 0x00804000 0xB08F4377 0xFFFFF0BB 0xFFFFFFFF 0xFFFFFFFF 0xFFFFFFFF 0xFFFFFFFF 0x00000000 ROW_END ROW_START 0x0080C000 0xFFFFFFFF 0xFFE80000 ROW_END
For TrustZone based CORTEX-M devices
Fuse settings are placed in USER Row and BOCOR Row memory regions for these devices
User Row/BOCOR row Start address should be provided as part of the device configuration input text file
The USER Row and BOCOR Row fuses also have 32-Bit CRC’s and SHA-256 to verify the fuse configurations itself by BOOTROM at reset
btl_dev_cfg_gen.py host utility is provided to generate these CRC's and SHA-256 based on below syntax into a device configuration output text file to be used to send to bootloader
Syntax
Each configuration row needs to start with ROW_START <address>
Each 32-Bit Fuse bit value must be newline separated
CRC32_START must be used to indicate to the above utility that CRC32 has to be calculated on the Fuse words after this
CRC32_END must be placed at the line where generated CRC32 value will be calculated and added in output file
SHA-256_START must be used to indicate to the above utility that SHA-256 must be calculated on the Fuse words after this.
SHA-256_END must be placed at the line where generated SHA-256 value (32 Bytes = 8 words) will be calculated and added in output file
ROW_END needs to be used to indicate end of configuration for the row
If the Fuse bit values are all 0xFFFFFFFF between the last 32-Bit Fuse and ROW_END it need not be specified as the host utilities will take care of filling the data packet with 0xFF's
Example input text file with CRC32 and SHA-256
ROW_START 0x00804000 0xB08F4377 0xFFFFF0BB CRC32_START 0xF0308040 0xFFFFFE80 0x00000000 0x00000002 0x00000010 0x00000000 CRC32_END ROW_END ROW_START 0x0080C000 SHA-256_START CRC32_START 0xF007FFFF 0xFFE81001 CRC32_END 0xFFFFFFFF 0xFFFFFFFF 0xFFFFFFFF ... ... ... 0xFFFFFFFF 0xFFFFFFFF SHA-256_END ROW_END
Example output text file with Generated CRC32 and (32 Bytes = 8 words) SHA-256
ROW_START 0x00804000 0xB08F4377 0xFFFFF0BB 0xF0308040 0xFFFFFE80 0x00000000 0x00000002 0x00000010 0x00000000 0x4e75a269 ROW_END ROW_START 0x0080C000 0xF007FFFF 0xFFE81001 0x64ae5ed9 0xFFFFFFFF 0xFFFFFFFF 0xFFFFFFFF ... ... ... 0xFFFFFFFF 0xFFFFFFFF 0x7ad28797 0x020201a6 0xf3412c79 0x24cbea0e 0x50bd37ba 0xa5fd23f7 0xad1c8fc1 0x1576fbf1 ROW_END
