2 Hardware Features Supporting Secure Boot Mode

SAM9X60 MPUs integrate a range of hardware-level security features designed to support a robust and efficient Secure Boot mode implementation. These features enable the device to verify the integrity and authenticity of firmware at power-up, establishing a secure execution environment and hardware Root of Trust.

Key elements that support Secure Boot mode include:

  • Immutable ROM code bootloader
  • One-Time Programmable (OTP) memory
  • Hardware cryptographic accelerators (AES, SHA)
