7.2.2 Hardware Tools

There are multiple hardware tools that can help in developing with the ECC608-TMNGTLS. Check the Microchip website for the availability of additional tools that are not mentioned here.

EA06V72A/EV10E69A – CryptoAuthentication Trust Manager Platform

The EA06V72A/EV10E69A is a compact development system consisting of an ATSAMD21 microcontroller, the ECC608-TMNGTLS Trust Manager device, a USB Hub, a mikroBUS connector and an on-board debugger. The kit is intended for use with the Trust Platform Design Suite (TPDS) of tools used to implement various use cases for the ECC608-TMNGTLS device. This is the kit that is recommended to be used with the Kudelski keySTREAM SaaS tools and Microchip's Trust Platform Development Suite of tools.

The EA06V72A is a board for early adopters of the ECC608-TMNGTLS but will be replaced long term with the EV10E69A production board. The kits will operate identically as far as using TPDS with the Trust Manager development flow and Kudelski keySTREAM SaaS tools. The EV10E69A includes several additional user LEDs and a user switch that is not included on the EA06V72A.

DT100104 ATECC608 Trust Board

Revision 4 of the DT100104 ATECC608 Trust Board contains a single ECC608-TMNGTLS device along with other ATECC608C Trust devices. The trust manager device is configured the same as the ECC608-TMNGTLS prototype device that can be ordered from Microchip Direct or is on the Trust Manager Platform board. The board has a mikroBUS format and can readily be connected to the CryptoAuth Trust Manager Platform or CryptoAuth Trust Platform (DM320118). The CryptoAuth Trust Platform in combination with the DT100104(Rev 4) board, with appropriate DIP Switch settings, will operate identically to the CryptoAuth Trust Manager Platform board.

Secure UDFN/SOIC Click Boards

To work with either SOIC or UDFN samples of the ECC608-TMNGTLS, along with the Trust Manager Platform Development Board, it is recommended that the user acquires specially designed mikroBUS socket boards that work with the Trust Manager Platform board. These socket boards are provided through mikroElektronika and are designed to install in the mikroBUS header of the Trust Manager Platform board. These socket boards allow for the ability to program up one or more devices and then use them on prototype or production boards. Samples of the ECC608-TMNGTLS must be acquired separately to be used with these kits.
