RA6M5 Mcuboot wrapped P384 support

Hi team!

I am trying out the MCUBoot on a the EK-RA6M5, it is going well so far, I have a couple of questions:

  1. I see that MCUBoot supports p384 signature types, is this possible in the FSP? (the only options I see are P256, RSA2048 and RSA3072)


  2. Is it possible to use a wrapped certificate to authenticate the images in protected mode? 

Warmest Regards,
Dave

  • Hey Dave,

    As per the hardware manual, the MCU supports P384, but it's not supported by the FSP. While it is possible to use a wrapped certificate for image authentication in protected mode with MCUBoot, the current MCUBoot implementation for Renesas devices doesn't natively support certificate-based authentication. You'll need to implement custom features in the FSP-generated code to enable this functionality.
