Specifically designed to meet NIST 800-193 platform resiliency guidelines, as well as OCP requirements, CEC1736 TrustFLEX devices can support security features necessary to enable hardware root of trust across various markets. The Trust Platform Design Suite tool will allow customers to personalize platform-specific configuration settings, including unique credentials, to support any application, host processor, or SoC that boots out of an external SPI Flash device to extend the root of trust in the system.
Modern firmware security features enabled on the CEC1736 TrustFLEX—like SPI bus monitoring, secure boot, component attestation, and lifecycle management—can keep both the pre-boot and real-time (time of check and time of use) environments shielded from both in-person and remote threats.
The highly configurable, mixed-signal, advanced I/O CEC1736 controllers integrate a 32-bit 96 MHz Arm Cortex-M4 processor core with closely coupled memory to offer optimal code execution and data access.
Microchip’s comprehensive tool ecosystem makes it easy to get started with designs. The CEC1736 TrustFLEX Configurator, part of the Trust Platform Design Suite, provides a visual view of different use cases to select, configure, and generate a provisioning package for development, prototyping, and production. The CEC1736 development board is equipped with a socket for easier evaluation and development.
