Infineon AURIX TC2xx / TC3xx: HSM application is not running / HSM core is stopped 06-Nov-2024
When the AURIX is reset with the debugger connected and the Hardware Security Module (HSM) is enabled in the User Configuration Block (UCB), the boot code of TC2xx / TC3xx sets a breakpoint to HSM’s first instruction. This stops the HSM core from running and if the primary core expects the...

Infineon AURIX: Prevent locking 03-Jul-2024
AURIX devices have several sensitive modules/areas (BMHDs, HSM, UCBs), which could lock the device permanently when configured incorrectly. To prevent locking your device follow these recommendations: Image checker Use theImage checker during UCB or HSM code programming. A separate license...
Infineon AURIX: HSM breakpoints not recognized after application reset 10-Jun-2024
This topic explains what an application reset is, why it affects breakpoint detection, and provides potential workarounds for debugging HSM (Hardware Security Module) cores effectively. What is an application (software) reset? In the context of AURIX debugging, an application reset refers ...
NXP/ST Power Architecture / ST SPC58: Flash mass erase on HSM enabled device 29-Mar-2024
When Alternate Flash Programming Interface is set, only the HSM core has access to HSM code and data flash. Erased HSM code flash does not contain valid HSM boot headers, therefore HSM core remains in reset state forever, and flash monitor cannot be executed there. As a consequence the HSM...
Infineon AURIX TC2xx/TC3xx: HSM programming 29-Mar-2024
The HSM (Hardware Security Module) is an optional module available on selected AURIX devices. Through winIDEA, you can program an HSM application and configure the UCB (User Configuration Block) which is required to enable the HSM on your AURIXdevice. More information in winIDEA Help: TC2x...
