Overview

The MCUXpresso SDK provides a peripheral driver for the Bus Encryption Engine (BEE) module.

The BEE module is implemented as an on-the-fly decryption engine. The main features of the BEE module are:

Standard AXI interconnection
On-the-fly AES-128 decryption, supporting ECB and CTR mode
Aliased memory space support. Address remapping for up to two individual regions
Independent AES Key management for those two individual regions
Bus access pattern optimization with the aid of local store and forward buffer
Non-secured access filtering based on security label of the access
Illegal access check and filtering.

The known hardware limitations of the BEE module are as follows:

Only supports 128 bits data width AXI interconnection
Only supports 16-byte burst access size. For a single transaction, the minimum supported access size is limited to 4 bytes.
Granularity of the address bias is 128 KB per step

BEE Driver Initialization and Configuration

The function BEE_Init() initializes the BEE to default values. The function BEE_GetDefaultConfig() loads default values to the BEE configuration structure. The default values are described below.

See the driver examples codes located at <SDK_ROOT>/boards/<BOARD>/driver_examples/bee. The function BEE_Deinit() performs a hardware reset of BEE module and disables clocks. Configuration and keys from software for both regions are cleared.

Enable & Disable BEE

The function BEE_Enable() enables decryption using BEE. The function BEE_Disable() disables decryption using BEE.

Set BEE region config and key

The function BEE_SetConfig() sets BEE settings according to given configuration structure. The structure is described below.

See the driver examples codes located at <SDK_ROOT>/boards/<BOARD>/driver_examples/bee. The function BEE_SetRegionKey() loads given AES key to BEE register for the given region. The key must be 32-bit aligned and stored in little-endian format. Note that eFuse BEE_KEYx_SEL must be set accordingly to be able to load and use the key loaded in BEE registers. Otherwise, the key cannot be loaded and BEE uses the key from OTPMK or SW_GP2.

The function BEE_SetRegionNonce() loads given AES nonce (used only for AES CTR mode) to BEE register for the given region. The nonce must be 32-bit aligned and stored in little-endian format.

Status

Provides functions to get and clear the BEE status.

The function BEE_GetStatusFlags() returns status of BEE peripheral. The function BEE_ClearStatusFlags() clears the BEE status flags.
