1.64 TrustZone Basic Demonstration - PIC32CMLS60

This example application performs Add and Multiply Math operations in secure mode and I/O operations in non-secure mode.

Description

This demonstrates TrustZone feature and uses two projects viz., Secure and Non-Secure Project that work together on the same MCU and offering security isolation between the Trusted and the Non-trusted resources in the device.

  • Secure project implements math functions (add and multiply as example)
  • Non-secure project uses the math functions exposed by secure project for math operations

Components Used

  • SERCOM - Configured as Non-secure mode

Setting Up PIC32CM LS60 Curiosity Pro Evaluation Kit

  • Connect the Debug USB port on the board to the computer using a micro USB cable

Running the Application

  1. Open the Terminal application (Ex.:Tera term) on the computer
  2. Connect to the EDBG Virtual COM port and configure the serial settings as follows:
    • Baud : 115200
    • Data : 8 Bits
    • Parity : None
    • Stop : 1 Bit
    • Flow Control : None
  3. Open the project group in the MPLAB X IDE and set the non-secure project as main project
  4. Build and program the application
  5. Perform the following sequence of operations to do addition of two numbers:
    • Press ‘a’ to start an addition operation
    • Enter a 16 bit unsigned integer and press ‘Enter’ on keyboard
    • Enter second 16 bit unsigned number and press ‘Enter’ on keyboard
    • Observe the result which is addition of first and second 16 bit unsigned number
  6. Perform the following sequence of operations to do multiplication of two numbers:
    • Press ‘b’ to start an addition operation
    • Enter a 16 bit unsigned integer and press ‘Enter’ on keyboard
    • Enter second 16 bit unsigned number and press ‘Enter’ on keyboard
    • Observe the result which is multiplication of first and second 16 bit unsigned number
