5.5 Secure and Privilege Protection

Some MSPM33 supports secure protection with TrustZone® architecture, and privilege protection with PMU. Section 4 introduce how to build up secure execution environment with TrustZone®. Please refer to datasheet to check the support status.

Users can store necessary data or code in secure region to implement secure storage. Any access from non-secure or non-privilege region leads to security/privilege violation. To configure secure or privilege protection on MSPM33, please refer to Enable Trustzone for Secure Application in MSPM33 MCUs.
