6.20.6 Advanced JTAG Security Module

This device includes a an Advanced JTAG Security Module (AJSM). which provides maximum security to

the memory content of the device by allowing users to secure the device after programming.

Figure 6-15. AJSM Unlock

The device is unsecure by default by virtue of a 128-bit visible unlock code programmed in the OTP

address 0xF0000000.The OTP contents are XOR-ed with the "Unlock By Scan" register contents. The

outputs of these XOR gates are again combined with a set of secret internal tie-offs. The output of this

combinational logic is compared against a secret hard-wired 128-bit value. A match results in the

UNLOCK signal being asserted, so that the device is now unsecure.

A user can secure the device by changing at least one bit in the visible unlock code from 1 to 0. Changing

a 0 to 1 is not possible because the visible unlock code is stored in the One Time Programmable (OTP)

flash region. Also, changing all the 128 bits to zeros is not a valid condition and will permanently secure

the device.

Once secured, a user can unsecure the device by scanning an appropriate value into the "Unlock By

Scan" register of the AJSM module. The value to be scanned is such that the XOR of the OTP contents

and the Unlock-By-Scan register contents results in the original visible unlock code.

The Unlock-By-Scan register is reset only upon asserting power-on reset (nPORRST).

A secure device only permits JTAG accesses to the AJSM scan chain through the Secondary Tap # 2 of

the ICEPick module. All other secondary taps, test taps and the boundary scan interface are not

accessible in this state.
