xilskey Library

Introduction

The XilSKey library provides APIs for programming and reading eFUSE bits and for programming the battery-backed RAM (BBRAM). Each SoC has different configuration of eFUSEs and BBRAM. Following list gives features with respect to each device.

Features Supported

  • Programming/reading eFUSE's AES key, RSA Hashs, User key and Control Secure bits.
  • Programming BBRAM with AES key.

Zynq-7000 Devices

  • Processing System (PS) eFUSEs holds the RSA primary key hash bits and user feature bits, which can enable or disable some Zynq-7000 processor features
  • Programmable Logic (PL) eFUSEs holds the AES key, the user key and some of the feature bits
  • PL BBRAM holds the AES key

UltraScale/UltraScale+ Devices

Supports for both mono or SSIT devices.

  • PL eFUSE holds the AES key, 32 bit and 128 bit user key, RSA hash and some of the feature bits
  • PL BBRAM holds AES key with or without DPA protection enable or obfuscated key programming

Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC Devices

  • eFUSEs of Processing System (PS) of ZynqMP SoC holds the AES key, user data, PPK0 and PPK1 hashes, SPK_ID, some bits which can be used to enable/disable some of the features of SoC
  • BBRAM holds the AES key
  • Support of Physically Unclonable Function (PUF)
  • Supports ZU+ PL similar to Ultrascale plus devices.


Refer following documents for detailed information on BBRAM and eFUSE functionality.

    1. Programming BBRAM and eFUSEs (XAPP1319)
    2. Internal programming of BBRAM and eFUSEs (XAPP1283)
    3. Xilinx Standalone Library Documentation (UG1191)


Caution:

eFUSE bits are one-time programmable. Once they are programmed(burnt), they cannot be modified.
