16-Bit Bootloaders Using MCC: Device Side
This class will focus on creating both a generic 16-bit bootloader and a secure 16-Bit bootloader using ECDSA signing features of the ATECC608B for the PIC24/dsPIC33 devices using MPLAB® X IDE and the MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC). (Updated May 2022)
This class will focus on creating both a generic 16-bit bootloader and a secure 16-Bit bootloader using ECDSA signing features of the ATECC608B for the PIC24/dsPIC33 devices using MPLAB® X IDE and the MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC). The class will walk the student through the automated creation of both bootloaders using MCC as well as creating application projects which are downloaded to the device using the 16-Bit bootloader and the Universal Bootloader Host Application.
For the Secure Boot portion of the class the student is shown how MCC can generate and use private and public keys and how the signing process is integrated into the build process for the user. The class also discusses how to create a custom flow using customer generated private and public keys to sign the projects. The student is then shown how the Microchip’s ATECC608B is used to verify the signature of the application code prior to running the application code.
Finally, a set of detailed off-line labs covering more features of both the normal and the secure boot versions of the bootloader. These detailed labs are given to the student to complete on their own.
