Arm® TrustZone® Technology Getting Started Application on PIC32CM LS60: Step 6

Last modified by Microchip on 2024/06/26 15:08

Add Application Code to the Non-Secure Project

The application is already partially developed and is available in the main.c file under <your unzip folder>/pic32cm_ls60_cpro_tz_getting_started/dev_files/Non-secure. The main.c file contains the application logic. It also contains placeholders that you will populate with the necessary code in the next step.

Go to the pic32cm_ls60_cpro_tz_getting_started/dev_files/Non-secure folder and copy the pre-developed main.c file.
Replace the main.c file of your project available at <Your project folder>/pic32cm_ls60_cpro_tz_getting_started/firmware/src by overwriting it with the copied file.
Go to the pic32cm_ls60_cpro_tz_getting_started/dev_files/Non-secure/trustZone folder and copy the pre-developed nonsecure_entry.h file.
Replace the nonsecure_entry.h file of your project available at <Your project folder>/pic32cm_ls60_cpro_tz_getting_started/firmware/src/trustZone by over-writing it with the copied file.

Open the tz_pic32cm_ls60_cpro project main.c in MPLAB® X IDE and add the application code by following the steps:

Under the main.c file, in function main, notice the call to the SYS_Initialize function.
The generated SYS_Initialize function initializes all the peripheral modules used in the non-secure application, which is configured through MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC).

Information

Tip: Press the CTRL key and left-click on the SYS_Initialize function. The click will open the implementation for the SYS_Initialize function as shown.

In the main() function, below SYS_Initialize(), add the following code to register callback event handlers.

    DMAC_ChannelCallbackRegister(DMAC_CHANNEL_0, usartTxDmaChannelHandler, 0);
    DMAC_ChannelCallbackRegister(DMAC_CHANNEL_1, usartRxDmaChannelHandler, 0);

Following the addition of the code above, add the function call to receive a character from the serial terminal.

    DMAC_ChannelTransfer(DMAC_CHANNEL_1, (const void *)&(SERCOM3_REGS->USART_INT.SERCOM_DATA), \
            uartRxBuffer, 1);
added function call to receive a character from the serial terminal

Information

Note:

  • The function call DMAC_ChannelCallbackRegister registers a callback event handler with the Direct Memory Access (DMA) PLIB. The callback event handler is called by the DMA PLIB when the DMA transfer (of temperature sensor data to serial terminal) is completed on DMA Channel 0.
  • The function call DMAC_ChannelCallbackRegister registers a callback event handler with the Direct Memory Access (DMA) PLIB. The callback event handler is called by the DMA PLIB when the DMA transfer (receives a character from the serial terminal) is completed on DMA Channel 1.

Back to Top

Implement the registered callback event handlers for the DMA PLIB (for both channels) by adding the following code before the non-secure main() function in main.c.

static void usartTxDmaChannelHandler(DMAC_TRANSFER_EVENT event, uintptr_t contextHandle)
{
   if (event == DMAC_TRANSFER_EVENT_COMPLETE)
    {
       isUSARTTxComplete = true;
    }
}

static void usartRxDmaChannelHandler(DMAC_TRANSFER_EVENT event, uintptr_t contextHandle)
{
   if (event == DMAC_TRANSFER_EVENT_COMPLETE)
    {
       isEEPROMReadReq = true;
    }
}

Implement the Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) data print function to print the last five temperature values received from the secure application.

void eepromPrintTemperature(uint8_t* pTemperatureValue, uint8_t wrIndex)
{
   char* pBuffer = (char*)nonSecureUartTxBuffer;
   uint8_t len;
   uint8_t i;
   len = sprintf((char*)pBuffer, "EEPROM:");
   for (i = wrIndex; i < EEPROM_MAX_LOG_VALUES; i++)
    {
       len += sprintf((char*)&pBuffer[len], "%dF|", (int8_t)pTemperatureValue[i]);
    }
   if (wrIndex > 0)
    {
       for (i = 0; i < wrIndex; i++ )
        {
           len += sprintf((char*)&pBuffer[len], "%dF|", (int8_t)pTemperatureValue[i]);
        }
    }
   len += sprintf((char*)&pBuffer[len], "\r\n");
   DMAC_ChannelTransfer(DMAC_CHANNEL_0, nonSecureUartTxBuffer, \
           (const void *)&(SERCOM3_REGS->USART_INT.SERCOM_DATA), \
           strlen((const char*)nonSecureUartTxBuffer));
}

Add the following code in the while() super-loop to print the received temperature values from the secure application on the serial terminal.

        if (readUartTxData(nonSecureUartTxBuffer) == true)
        {
       /* Maintain state machines of all polled MPLAB Harmony modules. */
           DMAC_ChannelTransfer(DMAC_CHANNEL_0, nonSecureUartTxBuffer, \
                   (const void *)&(SERCOM3_REGS->USART_INT.SERCOM_DATA), \
                   strlen((const char*)nonSecureUartTxBuffer));
        }

Add the following code to request the secure application to read the last five values stored in the EEPROM by using Non-Secure Callables (NSCs) when a character on the serial terminal is received.

        if (isEEPROMReadReq == true)       //Request to Temperature Reading from EEPROM
        {
           isEEPROMReadReq     = false;
           readEEPROMTemperatureDataReq(&eepromRxBuffer[0]);
        }
nonsecure app code 6

Back to Top

Add the following code to print the last five temperature values on the serial terminal and also a function call to receive a character from the serial terminal through keyboard press. Then the requested last five stored temperature values are read from the EEPROM in the secure application. Along with the printing function, an LED1 is toggled after every keyboard press action. 

        if (getEEPROMTemperatureDataReadStatus(&wrIndex) == true)   //Printing Temperature values read from EEPROM
        {
           isEEPROMReadReq = false;
           eepromPrintTemperature(&eepromRxBuffer[0], wrIndex);
           DMAC_ChannelTransfer(DMAC_CHANNEL_1, (const void *)&(SERCOM3_REGS->USART_INT.SERCOM_DATA), \
               &uartRxBuffer[0], 1);
           LED1_Toggle();
        }
       secureAppEntry();

Under Header Files > trustZone, in the nonsecure_entry.h file, add the following code to extern the NSCs to access and request the secure application from the non-secure application.

/* Non-secure callable functions */
extern bool readTemperatureData(uint8_t *lcluartTxBuffer);
extern void readEEPROMTemperatureDataReq(uint8_t *temperatureBuf);
extern bool getEEPROMTemperatureDataReadStatus(uint8_t *LclWrIndex);
extern void secureAppEntry(void);
