How can i Program non-volatile EKP and POF as a combined package into Flash, for Cyclone V Device?

[AnandKulkarni]

Hi Team

I am able to encrypt the design on DE10-nano development, where i program the encrypted JIC file onto flash as per "AN 556: Using the Design Security Features in Intel FPGAs ". Later i program the EKP onto the device, which is volatile and works properly.

But i have another hardware, where i program FPGA device using ARM, which loads configuration from SDCARD using CRD file, onto a flash. In this case, i convert unencrypted SOF to POF to RPD to CRD.

For my hardware, how can i encrypt the same using non-volatile EKP. How i can combine POF and EKP as single package?

Hello,

Non-volatile key is stored inside FPGA. It can't be stored outside of FPGA.

Encrypted POF can be stored outside FPGA like flash.

Please refer to AN556 : Design Security Features
