Lattice Sentry 4.0 Demo Board for MachXO5D-NX

Lattice Sentry Root of Trust Solution for MachXO5-NX

The Lattice Sentry 4.0 Demo Board for MachXO5-NX helps you develop and test NIST 800-193-compliant PFR solution on a single board, using the MachXO5-NX FPGA as a Platform Root of Trust. The board communicates with the various FPGAs on the board over JTAG and UART interfaces. The device requires Lattice Propel development tool environment.

The Lattice Sentry 4.0 Demo Board for MachXO5D-NX demonstrates the Lattice PFR system security capability on a hardware platform that can be controlled through a dedicated user interface on a PC workstation. This board allows you to take advantage of the enhanced security features and greater configurability of the MachXO5D-NX part. The MachXO5D-NX part authenticates the boot code of the CertusPro-NX (BMC&PCH) devices. It detects illegal flash operations, blocks them, and automatically recovers damaged boot images. Before the system boots up and throughout its operation, these functions provide security at the hardware level.

Features
