Debug Authentication STM32H7RS How to Introduction

1. Debug Authentication

Debug authentication controls debug opening and regressions. It can be used during development, manufacturing and for field return analysis.

  • Features
    • the usage of a password method allows only full regression (from closed state to open state).
    • the usage of cryptography (certificates) can be used for full regressions ,debug opening and firmware download from a closed device.
  • Debug authentication principle
    • Use of JTAG dedicated access point (ap0) to communicate with the chip.
    • Secure protocol defined by ARM : ARM PSA ADAC V1.0. (Authenticated Debug Access Control)[1]

2. Debug Authentication for STM32H7S with password method

Provisioning with password management

  • Provisioning data is located at OBKeys-HDPL0 area.
  • Provisioning data is the HASH (SHA256) of the password.
  • STM32TrustedPackageCreator is used to generate the OBKeys files containing the HASH of the Debug authentication password adding SHA256 to ensure integrity.

Debug authentication controls

  • Full regression with the Debug authentication password.
  • Debug authentication password has to be provisioned in OBKeys to allow this regression.

3. Debug Authentication for STM32H7RS with certificate method

Provisioning with certificate management

  • Provisioning data is located at OBKeys -HDPL0 area.
  • Provisioning data contain:
    • HASH (SHA256) of the root Certificate Public Key.
    • SOC_PERMISSION: 16 bits defining the permissions authorized by default.
  • STM32TrustedPackageCreator generates the OBKeys files containing the provisioning data adding SHA256 to ensure integrity.

Debug authentication controls

  • Re-enabling debug possibility.
  • Full regression
  • Firmware download (access to the secure bootloader)

To perform Debug authentication

  • The chip must be provisioned with:
    • ECC public key.
    • SOC_PERMISSION: 16 bits defining the permissions authorized by default.
  • A certificate signed by a private ECC key has to be created to be able to authenticate, and it embeds the following:
    • ECC public key.
    • PERM_MASK_CERT which describes the capabilities associated with this certificate.
