STM32H563 Provisioning (0x17) - Debug Authentication Discovery Works, Full Regression Fails

Hello ST Community,

I have an STM32H563 (Rev X) that appears to be stuck in the Provisioning state and I am trying to recover it.

Hardware / Tools

MCU : STM32H563

Device ID : 0x484

Revision : Rev X

STM32CubeProgrammer : v2.23.0

Probe : ST-LINK V3SET

ST-LINK FW : V3J16M9B5S1

 

NRST is connected to the ST-LINK and Debug Authentication discovery is working.

Current Option Bytes

PRODUCT_STATE = 0x1

TZEN = 0xB4 (TrustZone enabled)

BOOT_UBE = 0xB4 (OEM-iRoT selected)

SECWM1_STRT = 0x0

SECWM1_END = 0x7F

SECWM2_STRT = 0x0

SECWM2_END = 0x7F

WRPSGn1 = 0xFFFFFFFF

WRPSGn2 = 0xFFFFFFFF

LOCKBL = 0x0

HDP1_STRT = 0x1

HDP1_END = 0x0

HDP2_STRT = 0x1

HDP2_END = 0x0

 

Symptoms

I can: 

- connect through ST-LINK V3

- read option bytes

- read flash

- erase sectors

I cannot:

- perform Mass Erase

- change PRODUCT_STATE back to 0xED

 

Attempting: PRODUCT_STATE = 0xED results in:

Expected value for Option Byte "PRODUCT_STATE": 0xED

found: 0x17

Option Byte Programming failed

Or modified by application after OB_LAUNCH

 

Debug Authentication Discovery

Using:

STM32_Programmer_CLI.exe -c port=SWD mode=HOTPLUG reset=HWrst debugauth=2

I get:

PSA lifecycle...................: ST_LIFECYCLE_PROVISIONING

 

cryptosystems...................: Ecdsa-P256 SHA256

 

ST provisioning integrity status: 0xEAEAEAEA

ST provisioning integrity status message: VALID

 

permission if authorized........: Full Regression

permission if authorized........: To TZ Regression

Discovery completes successfully.

Debug Authentication Discovery succeeds only after connecting NRST to ST-LINK V3SET.

 

Debug Authentication

Using: 

STM32_Programmer_CLI.exe -c port=SWD mode=HOTPLUG reset=HWrst debugauth=1

I provide:

key_3_leaf.pem

cert_leaf_chain.b64

from:

STM32CubeProgrammer\bin\DA_Default_Config\STM32H5

Authentication progresses to:

Found 3 certificates

Signing token

but ends with:

Timeout while receiving response...

Debug Authentication Failed

This happens for both:

(a) Full Regression

(b) To TZ Regression

 

Additional Information

Earlier I used:

Reset MCU to Factory Settings

and CubeProgrammer reported:

Provisioning using default ST defined DA-Config PASSED

Performing discovery and regression PASSED

After that the device remained in:

PRODUCT_STATE = 0x17

and Debug Authentication became discoverable.

 

Questions

  1. Is there a known recovery procedure for an STM32H563 in 

    PRODUCT_STATE = 0x17 ST_LIFECYCLE_PROVISIONING  when DA Discovery succeeds but DA Authentication fails?

  2. Are the default files: 

    key_3_leaf.pem and cert_leaf_chain.b64 expected to work with the DA configuration installed by "Reset MCU to Factory Settings"?

  3. Is there a way to determine which certificate chain/root key is currently provisioned in the device?

  4. Is the device recoverable through Full Regression or is another provisioning step required first? 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello ​@FransMo ,

you probably forgot to connect the NRST pin to the STlink.This is required for DA.

Best regards

Hi Jocelyn,

I have the NRST pin already connected to the STlink, no results.

Kind regards,

Frans
