1 Introduction

Firewalls can be used to protect both data and device configuration by managing the access to defined memory ranges. The isolation provided firewall functionality is useful when considering both safety and security solutions.

The Jacinto 7 family of devices all use the same approach to firewalls. This document focuses on the J721E device and focuses on the Processor SDK 7.1 release. The examples provide are expected to be conceptually the same, in programming and code location, across the Jacinto 7 family and the Processor SDK releases.

The sample code and information in the document is a guideline only, full testing and understanding of why the system under test is being firewalled is required for any implementation.
