Article purpose

The purpose of this article is to:

  • briefly introduce the ETZPC peripheral and its main features
  • indicate the level of security supported by this hardware block
  • explain how it can be allocated to the three runtime contexts and linked to the corresponding software components
  • explain, when necessary, how to configure the ETZPC peripheral.

Peripheral overview

The ETZPC peripheral is used to configure TrustZone security in a SoC having bus masters and slaves with programmable-security attributes (securable resources) such as:

  • on-chip RAM/ROM with programmable secure region size
  • AHB and APB peripherals to be made secure
  • AHB masters to be granted secure rights

The ETZPC peripheral also allows peripheral isolation. With MCU isolation, some peripherals can be assigned to Cortex-M4 context execution only. Those peripherals will not be accessible for Cortex-A7 contexts (secure and non-secure).

Features

Refer to the STM32MP15 reference manuals for the complete list of features, and to the software components, introduced below, to see which features are implemented.

Security support

The ETZPC is a secure peripheral.

Peripheral usage and associated software

Boot time

The ETZPC is configured at boot time to setup the platform security.

Runtime

Overview

The ETZPC is a system peripheral and is controlled by the Arm® Cortex®-A7 secure.

Software frameworks

Domain Peripheral Software frameworks Comment
Cortex-A7
secure
(OP-TEE)
Cortex-A7
non-secure
(Linux)
Cortex-M4

(STM32Cube)
Security ETZPC TF-A(BL32) or OP-TEE ETZPC driver Read/Write access U-Boot
Read only access
Resource Manager Utility Read only access Configuration made by A7 secure.
U-Boot updates the Linux device tree.

Peripheral configuration

The configuration is applied by the firmware running in a secure context.

This configuration is done in TF-A(BL32) or OP-TEE, through device tree (see ETZPC device tree configuration).
