Introduction to lifecycle management on STM32H563/573 product lines using FlashPro-ARM programmer.

• FlashPro-ARM programmer has full support for Debug authentication on STM32H563/573 product lines when TrustZone^© is disabled. TrustZone^© will be added soon.

• All STM32H563/573 MCU product states are supported, including provisioning with password management and full regression.
  

...

Preparing necessary files

To perform provisioning with password management , the *.obk file needs to be generated by STM32 Trusted Package Creator tool. This file is used to configure the conditions required to preform regression of MCU. Without the password file, full regression is not possible.

...

• Open Trusted Package Creator and select H5

• Open Obkey tab

• Select the DA_ConfigWithPassword.xml file

• Update the password if needed
  

  

Supported operations by FlashPro-ARM

1. Lifecycle and provisioning with password management using FlashPro-ARM

• Open FlashPro-ARM

• Select STM32H563/573 MCU

...

• Use “DA/PROV” button (this step is optional, however without password management, full regression is not possible after moving to a higher lifecycle state)

  • Check “Enable provisioning” box“Enable” box in “Protection files” tab

  • Use “Browse” button to set path to *.obk file, generated by Trusted Package Creator

  • Press “Ok” button in STM32 Debug authentication tab

...

• Press “Ok” button in Memory Protection tab

• Check Memory Protection Enable box in the Main GUI

...

Afterwards use “AUTO PROG” or “Lock Device” buttons in the FlashPro-ARM programmer to put MCU to selected state and perform password management operation.

2. Full Regression

To perform full regression, a *.bin file is needed with a stored password to generate an *.obk file in STM32 the Trusted Package Creator tool (The Trusted Package Creator was needed to perform provisioning with the password management operation).
Example of password.bin file is provided in the STM32CubeFW_H5 example. File located in/Projects/NUCLEO-H563ZI/ROT_Provisioning/DA/Config path.

...

• Open FlashPro-ARM

• Select STM32H563/573 MCU

• Open Setup->Memory Protection tab

• Go to lifecycle management tab

• Use “DA/PROV” button

  • Check “Enable password” box“Password regression” box in “Unlock files” tab

  • Use “Browse” button to set path to *.bin file, with password used to generate *.obk file

  • Press “Ok” button in STM32 Debug authentication tab

...

Image Added

• Press “Ok” button in Memory Protection tab

• Press “Clear Locked Device” button

...

After operation completes, the MCU is back to “Open” state.

3. Discover operation

Discover operation allows the user to read current MCU state and provisioning status.

...

• Open FlashPro-ARM

• Select STM32H563/573 MCU

• Open Setup->Memory Protection tab

• Go to lifecycle management tab

• Use “Discover” button

  • In window “Debug Authentication” use “Discover” button to read information from MCU

    • Device ID- id connected MCU

    • Life Cycle - current MCU state

    • Integrity status - provisiong status(0xeaeaeaea mean well provisioned, 0xf5f5f5f5 when provisiong fail, in Open state 0xf5f5f5f5 is normal value)
