3 Supported MCU/MPU boards
The EdgeLock A5000 security IC is designed to be used as a part of an IoT system. It
works as an auxiliary security device attached to a host controller (MCU or MPU board).
The host controller communicates with EdgeLock A5000 through an I²C interface with the
host controller being the controller and the EdgeLock A5000 being the target.

3.1 MCUExpresso EdgeLock A5000 examples
The EdgeLock Plug & Trust middleware includes a set of project examples that
demonstrate the use of EdgeLock A5000 in the latest Authenticator security use cases.
For MCU based projects the example can be either:
•Imported from the CMake-based build system included in the EdgeLock Plug & Trust
middleware package.
•Imported from the MCUXpresso SDKs made available for the MIMXRT1170-EVK, the
MIMXRT1060-EVK, the FRDM-64F and the LPC55S69-EVK MCU boards.
The CMake-based build system is briefly explained in Section 4.2.
For the MIMXRT1170-EVK, the MIMXRT1060-EVK, the FRDM-64F and the LPC55S69-
EVK, a set of project examples can be directly imported from the board SDK package to
your MCUXpresso workspace.
These project examples offer a quick way to evaluate EdgeLock A5000 features, and its
source code can be re-used for your own implementations. The latest SDK packages can
be found in EdgeLock A5000 product website, under the Tools & Software tab, as shown
in Figure 2.
Figure 2. MCU board SDKs with EdgeLock A5000 examples
Note: The MCU SDKs can be downloaded also from the MCUXpresso SDK Builder
website, but may not include all the EdgeLock A5000 project examples or the latest
version of them.
The NXP Plug & Trust middleware supports the A5000 Secure Authenticator and the
SE05x Secure Element product family through the SSS and se05x API. Table 3 lists all
examples supported by the A5000 Secure Authenticator when using the FRDM-64F
MCUXpresso SDK.

Table 3. EdgeLock A5000 FRDM-64F MCUXpresso SDK examples
The Plug & Trust Middleware uses the feature file fsl_sss_ftr.h to select a dedicated
EdgeLock product IC and the corresponding Authenticator application or IoT applet. The
fsl_sss_ftr.h is located in the project source folder. To take advantage of EdgeLock
A5000 features, it is required to change the following options in the fsl_sss_ftr.h
header file:
1. Set the #define SSS_HAVE_APPLET_AUTH flag to 1 and disable all other applet
variants be setting the flags to 0 (see Figure 3).
2. The authentication application version flag #define
SSS_HAVE_SE05X_VER_07_02 must be set to 1 and all other application version
flags must be set to 0 as shown in Figure 4.
3. Re-build the MCU Expresso project so that the settings are applied.
In Table 5 you can find the corresponding application note reference which explains
how to get started with EdgeLock Plug & Trust middleware using the OM-A5000ARD
and the MIMXRT1170-EVK,MIMXRT1060-EVK, FRDM-64F or LPC55S69-EVK
boards. It provides detailed instructions to run projects imported either from the MCU
Expresso SDK or the CMake-based build system included in the EdgeLock Plug & Trust
middleware.

3.2 MPU EdgeLock A5000 examples
A pre-compiled Linux image with the EdgeLock Plug & Trust middleware is available for
the MCIMX8M-EVK. This pre-compiled Linux image can be directly flashed into a micro-
SD card, and booted from MCIMX8M-EVK for evaluation of EdgeLock A5000 features.
Note: To take advantage of EdgeLock A5000 features, please select the corresponding
CMake options as described in Section 4.2 and rebuild the middleware.
The AN13027 explains How to get started with the OM-A5000ARD board and i.MX 8M
board.
The latest EdgeLock Plug & Trust middleware software package pre-installed on a
bootable SD Card image version can be found in product website, under the Tools &
Software tab, as shown in Figure 5.
