At the heart of the architecture is the Safety and Security Unit (SSU). The SSU acts as a firewall between the C29x CPUs and the memory and peripherals. The primary role of the SSU is to enforce user access protection policy every time the C29x CPU performs accesses to peripherals and memory on the chip. In addition, the SSU governs debug access and Flash Controller operations in the C29x application subsystem (note: the SSU has no control over the HSM Flash, or any other HSM resources). While the Hardware Security Module (HSM) provides cryptographic services and governs authentication, secure boot and secure key/code provisioning, the SSU is responsible for run-time safety and security protections in application CPU subsystems. Both the HSM and SSU govern debug access authorization; both must enable access to a specific resource for debug to be authorized. For more information on debug access authorization, see Section 10.11.
