TZC internal peripheral
目录
Article purpose
The purpose of this article is to:
- briefly introduce the TZC 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 TZC peripheral.
Peripheral overview
The TZC peripheral is used to filter read/write accesses to the DDR controller according to TrustZone access rights, and according to Non-Secure master Address ID (NSAID) on up to 9 programmable regions.
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 TZC is a secure peripheral.
Peripheral usage and associated software
Boot time
The TZC is configured at boot time to setup DDR accesses.
Runtime
Overview
The TZC is a system peripheral and is controlled by the Arm® Cortex®-A7 secure.
