Prototype vs. Production Device Files

Prototype devices are meant to be used in-house for R&D; therefore, these devices do not come with a manifest file generated in the factory. However, these devices will have the Slot 0 key generated along with the device and signer certificates generated during factory provisioning. It is required to self-generate the manifest files for prototype Trust&GO and TrustFLEX devices.

The Trust Platform Design Suite provides the required scripts/tools to self-generate the manifest files.

Tip:

For production devices, users can always download the manifest file from the microchipDIRECT portal under their personal login. These files are available only after devices are provisioned and shipped to the customer.
