Microchip Technology CEC173x Real-Time Platform Root of Trust Controllers designed for servers, telecommunications, networking, and industrials. The CEC173x highly configurable, mixed-signal, advanced I/O controller contains a 32-bit 96MHz ARM® Cortex- M4 processor core with closely coupled memory for optimal code execution and data access. The device features an immutable Boot ROM embedded in the design, ideal for storing the power on/boot sequence and APIs available during run time.
When VTR_REG power is applied to the Microchip CEC173x, the secure boot loader API downloads the firmware image from internal Flash storage. Programming capability for this Flash is supplied by various means, allowing system designers to customize the device’s behavior while preserving the integrity of the image by cryptographic signatures.
