i.MX7 security clarification

stephenbialkows — Thu, 30 Aug 2018 22:40:48 GMT

Hello,

I want to understand the i.MX7 security features. Chapter 3 of the reference manual states "Detailed descriptions of the components are provided in the Multimedia Applications Processor Security Reference Manual".
In searching for this on www.nxp.com, I see partial matches pertaining to i.MX51, 53, and 258. Which is the most applicable to the i.MX7?

Thanks!

Stephen

Hello Stephen Bialkowski,

There is a i.MX7 Security Reference Manual which is listed as part of the i.MX7 documentation. However, it is a moderated document and it requires an NDA so while you can ask for access on the website itself I would recommend contacting your NXP Distributor to get an NDA and ask for the document.

I hope this helps!

Regards,
