MCUXpresso Secure Provisioning Tool

Overview

The MCUXpresso Secure Provisioning Tool is a GUI-based application provided to simplify generation and provisioning of bootable executables on NXP MCU devices. It is built upon the existing security enablement utilities and takes advantage of the breadth of programming interfaces available on security focused devices. The graphical interface provides a streamlined development flow, making it simpler to prepare, flash, and fuse images while leveraging and providing access to existing utilities. Advanced scripting can be achieved using the command-line interface, while even more advanced secure provisioning flows can be accomplished by modifying scripts generated by the tool. The MCUXpresso Secure Provisioning Tool currently includes support for devices within the i.MX RT crossover MCU series and the LPC5500 MCU series.

Features

Graphical User Interface

Easy-to-use configuration of secure provisioning project settings
Enables direction communication with attached device for provisioning and programming
Supports generation of executable scripts for production use

Command-line Interface

Unified command-line interface to the underlying utilities that can be used to create custom provisioning and production processing

Key/Certificate Management and Generation

Leverages OpenSSL or externally specified keys, signatures, and certificates
OpenSSL libraries are pre-bundled with Windows^® and Mac installations for seamless installation

Secure Image Preparation

Encrypting and signing of ELF (AXF) executables, SREC, and raw binaries

Alignment with MCUXpresso Config Tools

Supports importing a DCD (Device Configuration Data) in binary form that can be specified and generated from the MCUXpresso Config Tools. Used primarily for SEMC configuration
Support importing Arm^® TrustZone^® configuration files generated from the Trust Execution Environment setting of the MCUXpresso Config Tools. Used for Cortex^®-M33-based devices

Device Provisioning and Programming

Programming of e-FUSEs and One-Time-Programmable flash regions.
Direct connection to the target via UART, USB-HID for provisioning and programming
