- 上电第一次，会对HSE解密，校验，HSE会对Application进行签名，然后形成新的配置文件包括SMR，CoreResetTable，会填充新的key slots；
- 之后的上电，会对HSE校验，HSE会验证AP程序，包括验签等等；
- 更新HSE固件，AP失效，需要重新进行签名；
- 不动HSE固件，只更新AP，需要重新进行签名；

[S32K344] Secure Boot Design
1. Overview
Upper document: [S32K344] Boot And Reset Sequence
The secure boot flow involves multiple software bootloaders – this gives a great deal of scope for customisation to ensure that boot process is optimal for specific use cases.
From a high level, the flow is as follows:
And the secure boot flow is:
1.1 Chip reset and boot flow
The following figure shows a high-level representation of the chip startup sequence. This sequence consists of several reset stages based on the occurrence of a particular reset event, and the Secure Boot Assist Flash (SBAF) is the first code to run on HSE_B secure core after reset, which completes necessary system initialization, parses the Image Vector Table (IVT), executes secure boot and starts the application core.
There are 3 configurations on the chip boot stage:
1.2 The HSE interface
The Messaging Unit (MU) is the communication interface between the host and the HSE subsystem. It is used by the host to trigger service requests and receive service responses. It is used by the HSE to receive service requests, return service responses and provide several HSE status information relevant to the host.
The MU has two sides, referred to as MUA and MUB. One side (MUA) is under the exclusive control of the HSE, the other side (MUB) is controlled by the host. A value written in a transmit register (TRi) on one side can be read in the corresponding service register (RRi) on the other side. Similarly, select control registers on one side (e.g. FCR) interact with status registers on the other side (e.g. FSR).
Each of the MU instance available in the system has:
The number if available MU instances and TRi / RRi registers is device (host) dependent:
For more HSE, refer to https://github.com/carloscn/blog/issues/217
1.3 Image Vector Table (IVT)
The IVT (sometimes referred as “boot header”) is the main entry point for the system to operate after reset. Refer to https://github.com/carloscn/blog/issues/215
It contains:
The IVT can hold an optional authentication tag that guaranties its integrity and authenticity: it is calculated by the HSE on demand from the host via one specific administration service and verified by the HSE at start-up if it is configured to do so. The storage locations of IVT are fixed by design.
1.4 AppBL
AppBL is in Boot Images and its pointer is populated in the IVT file. After the HSE checks, whether the IVT file is passed, the AppBL will be started, as the process illustrated in the following figure, and circled by a red line.
The constituent elements of AppBL structure are shown in the figure below:
How to the secure boot check it?
Different mode of the secure boot has different behavior.
In the basic secure boot mode, the HSE can authenticate the AppBL header and content by using AES-GMAC algorithm and ADKP SHA256 hash key, and the first step is to parse the AppBL header to determine the start address and size of the AppBL code.
In the advanced secure boot mode, the HSE doesn't need to parse or verify the AppBL header as its mode is implemented by SMR (Secure Memory Region) and CR (Core Rest). The SRM is a block of specail memory region, the user can write the start address and length of the AppBL directly to the SMR service structure to complete the configuration. But for reducing the coupling between different projects, the start address and length of the AppBL code can also be obtained from the AppBL header to configure the SMR.
1.5 Secure Boot Modes
As shown in the Table 1 below, there are three available mechanisms to configure the secure boot flow for the application images:
The procedures of configuring these secure boot modes are shown in the figure:
1.5.1 Basic Secure Boot (BSB)
Keywords: HSE verify + AppBL header
This secure boot mode is implemented based on the AppBL header and ADKP, and the HSE firmware enables only one application core at a time. The length of AppBL header is 64 bytes and the application code address starts from “AppBL header start address + AppBL header length”.
1.5.2 Advanced Secure Boot (ASB)
In the ASB mode, the HSE firmware can boot multiple application cores by configuring Secure Memory Regions (SMR) and Core Reset (CR) tables, which combined to define the application cores behavior. These tables are configured via HSE firmware services and are stored in internal data flash memory.
Pre-requisites before the advanced secure boot can be executed are as follows:
1.5.3 SHE based Secure Boot (SSB)
Since HSE firmware also executes the SSB flow by using SMR/CR tables similarly, this secure boot mode can be considered as a special use case of ASB, the only difference between of them is that only SMR #0 and SHE keys shall be used to implement the SSB flow.
2. Advance Secure Boot (ASB)
This section describes how do both Advanced Secure Boot and SHE based Secure Boot modes which are all implemented with SMR and CR tables realize with HSE memory verification services, implemented with SMR (Secure Memory Regions) and CR (Checkpoints) tables, utilize HSE (Hardware Security Engine) memory verification services. The SMRs managed by these services can apply various sanctions(punishment) if secure boot fails. They support multiple authentication schemes (MAC, RSA/ECC signatures) to verify application images and accelerate verification at startup by relying on authenticity checks performed by the HSE. The picture below shows the execution process of the memory verification service based on SMR and CR tables.
A secure memory region (SMR) is defined by a start address and a size, associated to a proof of authenticity, either a MAC or an RSA/ECC signature, which authenticates the region’s content. The host can define up to 8 SMR clustered into the SMR table. It must also provide the proof of authenticity for each memory region content except for SMR #0. This means 8 different keys are stored in the Key catalogs.
For all SMR that have been defined, the HSE verifies the authenticity of memory contents:
2.1 Secure Memory Region (SMR)
The SMR contains the key points as the following diagram:
2.1.1 SRM table
The SMR table which stored in HSE secure data flash for devices with internal flash allows the host to define up to 8 memory regions and associate each one with an installation and a verification method. Each SMR entry in the SMR table holds a set of attributes listed in the below:
- Refer to a non-empty key slot having its key usage flag HSE_KF_USAGE_VERIFY set, while HSE_KF_USAGE_SIGN must not be set.
- Refer to a key type that matches with the initial authentication scheme selected.
Authentication strategy
The necessary preparation for the secure memory region (SMR) installation is to determine the authentication scheme, authentication key and initial authentication proof.
Scheme :
As Figure 16 shows, multiple verification schemes include MAC and signature are supported to verify the SMR during either the installation or verification phase, the specific parameters for each different scheme also need to be filled by the user. For example, when using the GMAC or rsaPss scheme, the user needs to manually configure the specific parameters as figure above.
Key:
The authenticity key must be stored in the NVM key catalog and its authentication key usage flag should be HSE_KF_USAGE_VERIFY rather than HSE_KF_USAGE_SIGN.
Proof:
The initial authenticity proof (pInstAuthTag[]) is an array of two pointers which point to the address of MAC or SIGN. If the HSE_SMR_CFG_FLAG_INSTALL_AUTH flag is set, it specifies the address of the initial authentication proof. If cleared, this data field is not used (internal hash digest SHA2-256 is used).
It should be noted that for MAC and RSA signature authentication schemes, only pInstAuthTag[0] is used, while both pInstAuthTag[0] and pInstAuthTag[1] are used for ECDSA and EDDDSA signatures (specified by (r,s), with "r" at index 0, and "s" at index 1).
Configuration flags
shows some details about the effect of “configFlags” in different conditions.
If the data field “configFlags” is set as
HSE_SMR_CFG_FLAG_INSTALL_AUTH, the authentication proof(pInstAuthTag) provided by the user in the installation phase, will also be used in the verification phase. The authentication proof must be written on the S32K3xx internal FLASH(P-Flash or D-Flash).If the data field configFlags is cleared, the HSE will use the internal calculation of the authentication proof (pInstAuthTag is not used) during the installation phase, save it internally, and use the auth tag for verification during the verification phase. Even if the pInstAuthTag in smrEntry is not used, when the installation service hseSmrEntryInstallSrv_t is called, the application still needs to provide the pAuthTag and authTagLength to ensure the integrity of the initial data, except in SHE secure boot mode.
When configFlags is cleared, SMR verification will be much faster than when configFlags is set to HSE_SMR_CFG_FLAG_INSTALL_AUTH and does not require additional FLASH space storage. However, if the user needs to use SMR to complete secure boot on a device with OTA enabled (HSE AB swap firmware), the configFlags must be set to HSE_SMR_CFG_FLAG_INSTALL_AUTH.
Note:
2.1.2 SHE based Secure Boot (SMR #0)
The SMR #0 is the only SMR that can be associated to the SHE AES key BOOT_MAC_KEY (keyHandle) as the SMR authentication key. In this case, the reference authentication tag is the CMAC (authScheme) value referred to as BOOT_MAC which can be initialized and updated via the SHE key update protocol.
In addition, when host is granted with SU rights, BOOT_MAC can be automatically calculated as described below.
On the first SMR #0 installation using BOOT_MAC_KEY, if BOOT_MAC is empty (i.e. not initialized) and if BOOT_MAC_KEY has been provisioned, the reference authentication tag is calculated by the HSE and saved in BOOT_MAC. When installing SMR #0 using the BOOT_MAC_KEY while the BOOT_MAC is already initialized, the BOOT_MAC value must be updated via the SHE key update protocol prior to issuing the SMR installation service.
In all cases, the data field pInstAuthTag is always discarded and should be set to NULL.
2.1.3 SMR installation (config CMAC key)
The host can request for SMR installation via the HSE service defined by the structure hseSmrEntryInstallSrv_t, the SMR installation service mainly takes in following inputs as following table:
Parameters of structure
hseSmrEntryInstallSrv_tentryIndexpSmrEntryhseSmrEntry_t).accessModepSmrDatasmrDataLengthpAuthTagpSmrDataandsmrDataLength. When the service is executed, the providedpAuthTagwill be verified to ensure that the data in the installation phase is correct, except for SHE-boot.authTagLengthcipher.pIVcipher.pGmacTagThe first-time definition of a SMR entry can be performed when LC is set to CUST_DEL. In addition, most of the data fields in the SMR entry can be modified only when the host is granted with SU rights.
The SMR installation via this service can be done in one-pass or streaming mode. The streaming mode is useful when the SMR content to install is not entirely available in the system memory when the installation starts (OTA use case). This service does not use a stream ID as HSE uses internal contexts when processing in streaming mode.
2.1.3.1. One-pass installation mode
When the SMR content to install is fully available in Flash or RAM, the most convenient way to process it is to run the service in one-pass mode, in this case:
accessModemust be set toHSE_ACCESS_MODE_ONE_PASS.pSmrDatamust be equal topSmrEntry.pSmrSrc, the source address where the SMR needs to be loaded from.smrDataLengthmust be equal topSmrEntry.smrSize, the size in bytes of the SMR to be loaded or verified.authTagLength[0](respectivelyauthTagLength[1]) must be set with the size of the byte array pointed by the data fieldpAuthTag[0](respectivelypAuthTag[1]).2.1.3.2. Streaming installation mode
It is possible to process a SMR installation even if the entire content is not already programmed in Flash or RAM. A typical example for such use case is an image (code or data) that is too big to fit in the available application RAM entirely and is provided to the host in chunks via a communication interface, and each individual chunk is then programmed in Flash, in this case:
entryIndex), configuration (pSmrEntry) and decryption initialization vector (cipher.pIV) must be provided only in the START call.pSmrDatamust point to the next SMR chunk to process and the data fieldsmrDataLengthis set with the size of that chunk. The minimum chunk size is 64 bytes.pAuthTag[]) and size (authTagLength[]) of the initial authenticity proof must only be provided during the FINISH call.2.2 Core Rest(CR)
The Core Reset (CR) table allows the host to associate each CPU-driven subsystem available in a device with up to 8 SMR, so that sanctions are applied on those subsystems after the pre-boot and post-boot phases, depending on the SMR verification status. For the devices with internal flash user can install maximum 2 core reset entry.
2.2.1 CR Table

This address must lie within one of the verified SMR.preBootSmrMap, but they are linked throughpostBootSmrMapto the core reset entry. This is known as parallel secure boot and the verification is done after the core is released from reset. This address must lie within one of the loaded SMR.pAltResetaltSmrVerifMappass the verification.startOptioncrSanction2.2.1.1 Core identifier
Each CPU-driven subsystem is identified by a unique number (coreId). The below Table lists the subsystems and their respective core identifiers in S32K3x4 devices.
If a CPU subsystem is not listed in the Core Reset table, it is not released from reset by the HSE.
2.2.1.2 Verification Map
Association of a CPU Subsystem with SMR:
The association of a CPU subsystem with a set of SMR is realized via the data fields
preBootSmrMapandaltPreBootSmrMap: when bit #i is set to 1, SMR #i is associated with that CPU subsystem. When the verification of all the associated SMR is done, the status of the CPU subsystems at the end of the pre-boot phase depends on several conditions as summarized in Table 9 below.The reset address provided in the data fields
pPassResetandpAltResetcan be an address within the on-chip Flash. The addresspPassResetmust lie within one of the SMR listed inpreBootSmrMaporpostBootSmrMap. Similarly, the addresspAltResetmust lie within one of the SMR listed inaltPreBootSmrMap.Table. Status of the CPU subsystem (all SMR verified in pre-boot phase)

The sanction taken by the HSE for a CR entry associated with SMR that failed verification depends on the phase when it is applied (i.e. pre-boot or post-boot).
2.2.2.1 Pre-boot sanctions
The below Table 10 summarizes the conditions and HSE behavior in terms of sanctions applied in the pre-boot and booting phases. If the sanction is
HSE_CR_SANCTION_DIS_ALL_KEYS, disable all keys; otherwise, key usage is individually disabled via the smrFlags key attribute.2.2.2.2 Post-boot sanctions
The below Table summarizes the conditions and HSE behavior in terms of sanctions applied in the post-boot phase.
2.2.3 CR Installation
The host can request for installing an entry in the Core Reset (CR) table via the service defined by the structure hseCrEntryInstallSrv_t, the CR table entry installation service mainly takes in following inputs as the table shows:
Table. Parameters of structure
hseSmrCrEntryInstallSrv_tcrEntryIndexpCrEntryThe first-time definition of a CR entry can be performed when LC is set to CUST_DEL. Once defined, a CR entry can be updated only when all the associated SMR have been successfully verified first. In addition, to modify any of the values in a CR entry already defined, the host must be granted with SU rights.
In addition, it’s noted that at least one SMR should be linked to the CR entry via
pCrEntry.preBootSmrMaporpCrEntry.postBootSmrMap.2.3 SMR verification
2.3.1 One-time automatic SMR verification
When
BOOT_SEQequals 1 in IVT, HSE uses the configuration in SMR and CR tables to boot the application cores securely. As such, the SMR linked with the CR table are automatically verified once by the HSE during startup.The automatic verification at start-up splits into three phases:
The end of the pre-boot and boot phases can be monitored via the
HSE_STATUS_BOOT_OKstatus flag, and the end of the post-boot phase can be monitored via the status flagHSE_STATUS_INIT_OKas illustrated in Figure 17 below.Pre-boot / boot / post-boot phases (BOOT_SEQ == 1):
2.3.1.1. Pre-boot phase
During the pre-boot phase, HSE parses the CR table from the smallest entry index to the highest. For each CR entry, SMR linked via
pCrEntry.preBootSmrMapdata field are verified first. If any of these SMR fails verification, HSE verifies the SMR specified bypCrEntry.altPreBootSmrMapdata field if configured.If all the SMR are verified successfully from either of the pre-boot SMR maps, HSE may release from reset the CPU subsystem in the host depending on the core reset release strategy.
If both pre-boot SMR maps (including
altPreBoot) have at least one SMR for which the verification fails, HSE applies the sanction configured for that CR entry.2.3.1.2. Boot phase and core reset release strategies
While the CR table is parsed in the pre-boot phase, HSE releases the associated CPU from reset according to the core reset release strategy, configurable via
hseAttrCoreResetRelease_tattribute:The pre-boot phase ends when the first CPU subsystem is released from reset.
The end of both pre-boot and boot phases, which implies all configured CPU subsystems being booted, is signaled by the HSE via the status flag
HSE_STATUS_BOOT_OK.2.3.1.3. Post-boot phase
After all configured application CPU subsystems are released from reset and the booting phase is over, HSE reiterates through the CR table and for each entry, it verifies the associated SMR linked via
pCrEntry.postBootSmrMapdata field.If any of the SMR verified during the post-boot phase fails verification, HSE applies the configured sanction for the associated CR entry. In this case,
HSE_CR_SANTCION_KEEP_CORE_IN_RESETis not applicable (i.e. HSE can’t keep an booted application CPU in RESET phase).2.3.1.4. Secure Boot Flow
The following Figure 18 details the SMR verification processes during pre-boot and post-boot phases and the sanctions taken by the HSE at the end of each phase. The red and blue lines represent the boot flow of the pure PRE_BOOT and POST_BOOT modes respectively.
2.3.2. On-demand SMR verification
SMR entries which are not linked to the CR table are unverified until the host triggers, at run-time, the verification via the service defined by the structure
hseSmrVerifySrv_t.This service takes only one data field (
entryIndex) that specifies the index of the SMR to verify.This service can also be used to verify any SMR during run-time. However, when the SMR to verify is in Flash, it must be ensured that no concurrent programming operation is triggered by the host while the verification takes place.
2.3.3. Recurrent automatic SMR verification
When its data field
pSmrEntry.checkPeriodis set to a value different from 0, a SMR is automatically verified recurrently by the HSE during run-time, i.e. during normal operating conditions, once the pre-boot and post-boot phases are over.The verification recurrence is defined by several system clock cycles, each unit corresponding to 10ms at maximum frequency. For example, if
smrEntry.checkPeriod = 200, a verification process is triggered every 2s for a system clock frequency of 400MHz, 4s at 200MHz, etc.It can be configured for any SMR that is loaded in RAM and for which the internal proof of authenticity generated by HSE is used for verification (i.e.
HSE_SMR_CFG_FLAG_INSTALL_AUTHis not set).2.3.4. SHE secure boot mode (only use SMR #0)
The SMR #0 is the only SMR that can be associated to the SHE AES key
BOOT_MAC_KEYas the SMR authentication key. In this case, the reference authentication tag is the CMAC value referred to asBOOT_MAC.If
BOOT_SEQ = 1, authentication process started as mentioned in REF02 section 8.7.2. The reference authentication tag is calculated by the HSE and compared with savedBOOT_MAC. IfBOOT_SEQ = 0, authentication process started as mentioned in REF02 section 8.5.4.2.The Figure 19 shows the SMR verification process of the SHE based secure boot mode which also uses SMR and CR tables.
2.3.5. HSE status
By reading the values of bits 16 to 31 of FSR register in
MU_0to get the status of HSE as Table 13. HSE global status bits in FSRHSE_STATUS_OEM_SUPER_USER; when set to 1, indicates that SU rights are granted to OWNER_OEMHSE_STATUS_CUST_SUPER_USER; when set to 1, indicates that SU rights are granted to OWNER_CUSTHSE_STATUS_BOOT_OK; set to 1 when all the secure boot conditions (pre-boot phase) defined in the HSE successfully passHSE_STATUS_INSTALL_OK; set to 1 once the key catalogs have been successfully formatted; when cleared to 0, indicates to the host that the key catalogs must be formattedHSE_STATUS_INIT_OK; set to 1 when the HSE initialization is completed; when cleared to 0, no service request can be made to the HSE (MU disabled)HSE_STATUS_HSE_DEBUGGER_ACTIVE; set to 1 when a HSE debug session is activeHSE_STATUS_HOST_DEBUGGER_ACTIVE; set to 1 when a host debug session is activeHSE_STATUS_RNG_INIT_OK; set to 1 when the RNG initialization is complete; when cleared to 0, any services using random number is unavailable to the hostHSE_SHE_STATUS_SECURE_BOOT_OK; set to 1 when SMR #0 successfully verified against BOOT_MACHSE_SHE_STATUS_SECURE_BOOT_FINISHED; set to 1 when SMR #0 was not successfully verifiedHSE_SHE_STATUS_SECURE_BOOT_INIT; set to 1 when SMR #0 has been installed and authenticated with BOOT_MAC_KEYHSE_SHE_STATUS_SECURE_BOOT; set to 1 when SMR #0 has been installed and BOOT_SEQ equals 1There are several secure boot related bits which need to be noted:
Bits #26:HSE_STATUS_BOOT_OK; set to 1 when all the secure boot conditions (pre-boot phase) defined in the HSE successfully pass.Bits #24:HSE_STATUS_INIT_OK; set to 1 when the post-boot phase is successful.Bits #17 to #20: in the HSE status relate to the SHE secure boot are not valid when using advanced secure boot.Bits #22: set to “1” when a host(S32K3xx) debug session is active and set to “0” when debugger disconnected.2.3.6. SMR core status
HSE system attribute service
HSE_SMR_CORE_BOOT_STATUSrequest the SMR verification status and core boot status as Table 14 shows, from the HSE.The structure
hseAttrSmrCoreStatus_tof this service provides the following information:smrStatus[]).coreBootStatus[]).coreBootStatus[]).3. Basic Secure Boot
The BSB is a simplified boot scheme, not like the ASB based on SMR. In this case, the HSE FW only enables one application core (the booted core can start other cores) at a time, based on the “Boot Data Sign” service defined by the structure hseBootDataImageSignSrv_t.
In addition, there is no sanction can be used for BSB mode when verification fails, the application core goes into recovery mode and no program will be executed.
3.1 Application debug key/password (ADKP)
The ADKP is an HSE OTP (one-time program) attribute, not like a normal NVM key which can be erased (Root Trust of Hardware). It is used to calculate the GMAC of application of 16 bytes through AES-GMAC algorithm in RAM, based on a 256-bit AES key generated from SHA256 operation over the user-defined ADKP as illustrated in the below Figure 20(a). In addition, it should be noted that the ADKP must be set first before using the “Boot Data Sign/Verify” service or debugging protection.
3.2 Configuration
The host(S32K344) can request for the calculation of an authentication tag (GMAC) over the host system images via the service defined by the structure
hseBootDataImageSignSrv_t.This service is available to the host only when it is granted with the Super User (SU) rights (LC can be CUST_DEL, OEM_PROD or IN_FIELD) and the ADKP is written.
Before sending the service request to HSE, the AppBL header tag needs to be confirmed to be correct, or an error will occur.
A buffer used to store the GMAC (the authentication tag) value is needed for the “Boot Data Sign” service, and the AppBL start address also needs to be provided.
After this service has been completed, the generated GMAC from RAM needs to be copied back to the end of the application according to the codelength in AppBL.
To ensure the configuration above is completed and successful, the “Boot Data Verify” service defined by the structure
hseBootDataImageVerifySrv_tcan be called, the AppBL address needs to be provided.Note, alignment
4. Enable Secure Boot
4.1 Set
BOOT_SEQTo enable the secure boot, as Figure shows, the bit filed
BOOT_SEQof the BCW in the IVT must be set to “1”, to change from the default startup flow to the secure startup flow.The data field BOOT_SEQ, effects on the boot sequence flow:
4.2 Update IVT
The IVT content stored in Flash needs to be updated, it is recommended to having a backup IVT to ensure that the program can be running in case of data corruption of another IVT.
The IVT start address can be selected among one of the values provided in the below Table 15. At reset, the HSE searches for the first valid IVT header tag starting from the lowest address.
This step can be executed after the secure boot configuration is complete and successful, or before installing the SMRs, to protect the IVT by the SMR like any other memory region.
The IVT can protect the IVT content to against unauthorized changes based on the service “BOOT_DATA_SIGN”, which works like the BSB mode. The authentication tag is computed and appended to the end of the IVT. To enable IVT authentication, the one-time programmable HSE system attribute IVT_AUTH must be set to 1.
5. Secure Boot on AB swap
5.1 Partition swapping service
The OTA feature will be enabled if the user has installed the HSE firmware AB_SWAP. This operation is irreversible, that is, the device that has installed AB SWAP firmware can no longer install full_mem firmware, and vice versa.
The FLASH space of S32K3xx will be equally divided into two partitions, active and passive, which can be switched by executing service “HSE_SRV_ID_ACTIVATE_PASSIVE_BLOCK”, after reset, the active and passive partitions will be swapped.
The user can program the passive partition by the S32K3 FLASH controller or debugger like the device with full_mem installed, but the passive partition cannot execute the program code.
5.2 DCM status registers (switching partition)
The host (application) can read the DCM status register (DCMSTAT) to identify which partition is active and which partition is passive, refer to the below table
5.3 Implement Secure Boot
To implement secure boot on the OTA enabled device, the users need to know that the SMR table is uniquely stored in the S32K3 HSE secure NVM, and the area protected by each SMR and its auth-tag will also point to a unique address.
Therefore, it is recommended to store the auth-tag in the same fixed address regardless of the active or passive partition, otherwise you need to reinstall the SMR to avoid secure boot failure.
The Figure above shows how to implement secure boot on the OTA enabled device in the demo:
Cfg_v1andApp_v1) on the active partition, the active region is “low address (block 0, 1)”, the S32K3xx will run the secure boot configuration program.Cfg_v1andApp_v1program code.AuthTag_v2of the passive partition to the fixed location beforeApp_v2.Cfg_v2.Cfg_v1did in step 3,Cfg_v2will compute the authentication tag ofApp_v1in the passive area and write it into theAuthTag_v1area.BOOT_SEQto “1” in the active (block 0) and passive (block 2) IVT at the same time to enable secure boot flow. Since the start address in the SMR has been set to the App code address, the device will run the App program directly instead of the Cfg program.App_v1.
