The full-featured CEC1712H-S2-I/SX Arm® Cortex®-M4-based microcontroller works with Soteria-G2 firmware to provide secure boot with hardware root of trust protection in a pre-boot mode for operating systems booting from external SPI flash memory. Together, this solution allows designers to speed adoption and implementation of a secure pre-boot and secure firmware update platform. Soteria-G2 firmware simplifies risk reduction during code development by using the CEC1712 immutable secure bootloader, implemented in Read-Only Memory (ROM), as the system root of trust. In addition, the CEC1712 provides key revocation and code rollback protection during operating life, enabling in-field security updates. Complying with NIST 800-193 guidelines, the CEC1712 protects, detects and recovers from corruption for total system platform firmware resiliency. The secure boot with hardware root of trust is critical in protecting the system against threats before they can load into the system and only allows the system to boot using software trusted by the manufacturer.
MA990002 CEC1712H-S2 PIM is designed to work with the DM990013 CEC1x02 evaluation and development board. The CEC1712H-S2 Plug-In-Module (PIM) enables customers to evaluate, develop and program all aspects of the CEC1712, including the OTP.
Soteria is available to CEC1702H-S2 customers under a Software License Agreement (SLA).
