eFuse Manager

Introduction

The eFuse Manager library is designed to structure access to eFuse bits and make using these easy. This library operates eFuse bits by a structure name which is assigned in eFuse table. This sections introduces some concepts used by eFuse Manager.

Hardware description

The ESP32-S3 has a number of eFuses which can store system and user parameters. Each eFuse is a one-bit field which can be programmed to 1 after which it cannot be reverted back to 0. Some of system parameters are using these eFuse bits directly by hardware modules and have special place (for example EFUSE_BLK0).

For more details, see ESP32-S3 Technical Reference Manual > eFuse Controller (eFuse) [PDF]. Some eFuse bits are available for user applications.

ESP32-S3 has 11 eFuse blocks each of the size of 256 bits (not all bits are available):

EFUSE_BLK0 is used entirely for system purposes;
EFUSE_BLK1 is used entirely for system purposes;
EFUSE_BLK2 is used entirely for system purposes;
EFUSE_BLK3 or EFUSE_BLK_USER_DATA can be used for user purposes;
EFUSE_BLK4 or EFUSE_BLK_KEY0 can be used as key (for secure_boot or flash_encryption) or for user purposes;
EFUSE_BLK5 or EFUSE_BLK_KEY1 can be used as key (for secure_boot or flash_encryption) or for user purposes;
EFUSE_BLK6 or EFUSE_BLK_KEY2 can be used as key (for secure_boot or flash_encryption) or for user purposes;
EFUSE_BLK7 or EFUSE_BLK_KEY3 can be used as key (for secure_boot or flash_encryption) or for user purposes;
EFUSE_BLK8 or EFUSE_BLK_KEY4 can be used as key (for secure_boot or flash_encryption) or for user purposes;
EFUSE_BLK9 or EFUSE_BLK_KEY5 can be used as key (for secure_boot or flash_encryption) or for user purposes;
EFUSE_BLK10 or EFUSE_BLK_SYS_DATA_PART2 is reseved for system purposes.

Each block is divided into 8 32-bits registers.

eFuse Manager component

The component has API functions for reading and writing fields. Access to the fields is carried out through the structures that describe the location of the eFuse bits in the blocks. The component provides the ability to form fields of any length and from any number of individual bits. The description of the fields is made in a CSV file in a table form. To generate from a tabular form (CSV file) in the C-source uses the tool efuse_table_gen.py. The tool checks the CSV file for uniqueness of field names and bit intersection, in case of using a custom file from the user’s project directory, the utility will check with the common CSV file.

CSV files:

common (esp_efuse_table.csv) - contains eFuse fields which are used inside the IDF. C-source generation should be done manually when changing this file (run command idf.py efuse-common-table). Note that changes in this file can lead to incorrect operation.
custom - (optional and can be enabled by CONFIG_EFUSE_CUSTOM_TABLE) contains eFuse fields that are used by the user in their application. C-source generation should be done manually when changing this file and running idf.py efuse-custom-table.

Description CSV file

The CSV file contains a description of the eFuse fields. In the simple case, one field has one line of description. Table header:

# field_name,  efuse_block(EFUSE_BLK0..EFUSE_BLK10), bit_start(0..255),    bit_count(1..256),        comment

Individual params in CSV file the following meanings:

field_name: Name of field. The prefix ESP_EFUSE_ will be added to the name, and this field name will be available in the code. This name will be used to access the fields. The name must be unique for all fields. If the line has an empty name, then this line is combined with the previous field. This allows you to set an arbitrary order of bits in the field, and expand the field as well (see MAC_FACTORY field in the common table). The field_name supports structured format using . to show that the field belongs to another field (see WR_DIS and RD_DIS in the common table).
efuse_block: Block number. It determines where the eFuse bits will be placed for this field. Available EFUSE_BLK0..EFUSE_BLK10.
bit_start: Start bit number (0..255). The bit_start field can be omitted. In this case, it will be set to bit_start + bit_count from the previous record, if it has the same efuse_block. Otherwise (if efuse_block is different, or this is the first entry), an error will be generated.

bit_count: The number of bits to use in this field (1..-). This parameter can not be omitted. This field also may be MAX_BLK_LEN in this case, the field length will have the maximum block length.

comment: This param is using for comment field, it also move to C-header file. The comment field can be omitted.

If a non-sequential bit order is required to describe a field, then the field description in the following lines should be continued without specifying a name, this will indicate that it belongs to one field. For example two fields MAC_FACTORY and MAC_FACTORY_CRC:

# Factory MAC address #
#######################
MAC_FACTORY,            EFUSE_BLK0,    72,    8,    Factory MAC addr [0]
,                       EFUSE_BLK0,    64,    8,    Factory MAC addr [1]
,                       EFUSE_BLK0,    56,    8,    Factory MAC addr [2]
,                       EFUSE_BLK0,    48,    8,    Factory MAC addr [3]
,                       EFUSE_BLK0,    40,    8,    Factory MAC addr [4]
,                       EFUSE_BLK0,    32,    8,    Factory MAC addr [5]
MAC_FACTORY_CRC,        EFUSE_BLK0,    80,    8,    CRC8 for factory MAC address

This field will available in code as ESP_EFUSE_MAC_FACTORY and ESP_EFUSE_MAC_FACTORY_CRC.

Structured efuse fields

WR_DIS,                           EFUSE_BLK0,   0,    32,     Write protection
WR_DIS.RD_DIS,                    EFUSE_BLK0,   0,    1,      Write protection for RD_DIS
WR_DIS.FIELD_1,                   EFUSE_BLK0,   1,    1,      Write protection for FIELD_1
WR_DIS.FIELD_2,                   EFUSE_BLK0,   2,    4,      Write protection for FIELD_2 (includes B1 and B2)
WR_DIS.FIELD_2.B1,                EFUSE_BLK0,   2,    2,      Write protection for FIELD_2.B1
WR_DIS.FIELD_2.B2,                EFUSE_BLK0,   4,    2,      Write protection for FIELD_2.B2
WR_DIS.FIELD_3,                   EFUSE_BLK0,   5,    1,      Write protection for FIELD_3
WR_DIS.FIELD_3.ALIAS,             EFUSE_BLK0,   5,    1,      Write protection for FIELD_3 (just a alias for WR_DIS.FIELD_3)
WR_DIS.FIELD_4,                   EFUSE_BLK0,   7,    1,      Write protection for FIELD_4

The structured eFuse field looks like WR_DIS.RD_DIS where the dot points that this field belongs to the parent field - WR_DIS and can not be out of the parent’s range.

It is possible to use some levels of structured fields as WR_DIS.FIELD_2.B1 and B2. These fields should not be crossed each other and should be in the range of two fields: WR_DIS and WR_DIS.FIELD_2.

It is possible to create aliases for fields with the same range, see WR_DIS.FIELD_3 and WR_DIS.FIELD_3.ALIAS.

The IDF names for structured efuse fields should be unique. The efuse_table_gen tool will generate the final names where the dot will be replaced by _. The names for using in IDF are ESP_EFUSE_WR_DIS, ESP_EFUSE_WR_DIS_RD_DIS, ESP_EFUSE_WR_DIS_FIELD_2_B1, etc.

efuse_table_gen.py tool

The tool is designed to generate C-source files from CSV file and validate fields. First of all, the check is carried out on the uniqueness of the names and overlaps of the field bits. If an additional custom file is used, it will be checked with the existing common file (esp_efuse_table.csv). In case of errors, a message will be displayed and the string that caused the error. C-source files contain structures of type esp_efuse_desc_t.

To generate a common files, use the following command idf.py efuse-common-table or:

cd $IDF_PATH/components/efuse/
./efuse_table_gen.py esp32s3/esp_efuse_table.csv

After generation in the folder $IDF_PATH/components/efuse/esp32s3 create:

esp_efuse_table.c file.
In include folder esp_efuse_table.c file.

To generate a custom files, use the following command idf.py efuse-custom-table or:

cd $IDF_PATH/components/efuse/
./efuse_table_gen.py esp32s3/esp_efuse_table.csv PROJECT_PATH/main/esp_efuse_custom_table.csv

After generation in the folder PROJECT_PATH/main create:

esp_efuse_custom_table.c file.
In include folder esp_efuse_custom_table.c file.

To use the generated fields, you need to include two files:

#include "esp_efuse.h"
#include "esp_efuse_table.h" or "esp_efuse_custom_table.h"

Supported coding scheme

Coding schemes are used to protect against data corruption. ESP32-S3 supports two coding schemes:

None. EFUSE_BLK0 is stored with four backups, meaning each bit is stored four times. This backup scheme is automatically applied by the hardware and is not visible to software. EFUSE_BLK0 can be written many times.
RS. EFUSE_BLK1 - EFUSE_BLK10 use Reed-Solomon coding scheme that supports up to 5 bytes of automatic error correction. Software will encode the 32-byte EFUSE_BLKx using RS (44, 32) to generate a 12-byte check code, and then burn the EFUSE_BLKx and the check code into eFuse at the same time. The eFuse Controller automatically decodes the RS encoding and applies error correction when reading back the eFuse block. Because the RS check codes are generated across the entire 256-bit eFuse block, each block can only be written to one time.

To write some fields into one block, or different blocks in one time, you need to use the batch writing mode. Firstly set this mode through esp_efuse_batch_write_begin() function then write some fields as usual using the esp_efuse_write_... functions. At the end to burn them, call the esp_efuse_batch_write_commit() function. It burns prepared data to the eFuse blocks and disables the batch recording mode.

eFuse API

Access to the fields is via a pointer to the description structure. API functions have some basic operation:

esp_efuse_read_field_blob() - returns an array of read eFuse bits.
esp_efuse_read_field_cnt() - returns the number of bits programmed as “1”.
esp_efuse_write_field_blob() - writes an array.
esp_efuse_write_field_cnt() - writes a required count of bits as “1”.
esp_efuse_get_field_size() - returns the number of bits by the field name.
esp_efuse_read_reg() - returns value of eFuse register.
esp_efuse_write_reg() - writes value to eFuse register.
esp_efuse_get_coding_scheme() - returns eFuse coding scheme for blocks.
esp_efuse_read_block() - reads key to eFuse block starting at the offset and the required size.
esp_efuse_write_block() - writes key to eFuse block starting at the offset and the required size.
esp_efuse_batch_write_begin() - set the batch mode of writing fields.
esp_efuse_batch_write_commit() - writes all prepared data for batch writing mode and reset the batch writing mode.
esp_efuse_batch_write_cancel() - reset the batch writing mode and prepared data.
esp_efuse_get_key_dis_read() - Returns a read protection for the key block.
esp_efuse_set_key_dis_read() - Sets a read protection for the key block.
esp_efuse_get_key_dis_write() - Returns a write protection for the key block.
esp_efuse_set_key_dis_write() - Sets a write protection for the key block.
esp_efuse_get_key_purpose() - Returns the current purpose set for an eFuse key block.
esp_efuse_write_key() - Programs a block of key data to an eFuse block
esp_efuse_write_keys() - Programs keys to unused eFuse blocks
esp_efuse_find_purpose() - Finds a key block with the particular purpose set.
esp_efuse_get_keypurpose_dis_write() - Returns a write protection of the key purpose field for an eFuse key block (for esp32 always true).
esp_efuse_key_block_unused() - Returns true if the key block is unused, false otherwise.

For frequently used fields, special functions are made, like this esp_efuse_get_chip_ver(), esp_efuse_get_pkg_ver().

eFuse API for keys

EFUSE_BLK_KEY0 - EFUSE_BLK_KEY5 are intended to keep up to 6 keys with a length of 256-bits. Each key has an ESP_EFUSE_KEY_PURPOSE_x field which defines the purpose of these keys. The purpose field is described in esp_efuse_purpose_t.

The purposes like ESP_EFUSE_KEY_PURPOSE_XTS_AES_... are used for flash encryption.

The purposes like ESP_EFUSE_KEY_PURPOSE_SECURE_BOOT_DIGEST... are used for secure boot.

There are some eFuse APIs useful to work with states of keys.

esp_efuse_get_purpose_field() - Returns a pointer to a key purpose for an eFuse key block.
esp_efuse_get_key() - Returns a pointer to a key block.
esp_efuse_set_key_purpose() - Sets a key purpose for an eFuse key block.
esp_efuse_set_keypurpose_dis_write() - Sets a write protection of the key purpose field for an eFuse key block.
esp_efuse_find_unused_key_block() - Search for an unused key block and return the first one found.
esp_efuse_count_unused_key_blocks() - Returns the number of unused eFuse key blocks in the range EFUSE_BLK_KEY0..EFUSE_BLK_KEY_MAX
esp_efuse_get_digest_revoke() - Returns the status of the Secure Boot public key digest revocation bit.
esp_efuse_set_digest_revoke() - Sets the Secure Boot public key digest revocation bit.
esp_efuse_get_write_protect_of_digest_revoke() - Returns a write protection of the Secure Boot public key digest revocation bit.
esp_efuse_set_write_protect_of_digest_revoke() - Sets a write protection of the Secure Boot public key digest revocation bit.

Debug eFuse & Unit tests

Virtual eFuses

The Kconfig option CONFIG_EFUSE_VIRTUAL will virtualize eFuse values inside the eFuse Manager, so writes are emulated and no eFuse values are permanently changed. This can be useful for debugging app and unit tests. During startup, the eFuses are copied to RAM. All eFuse operations (read and write) are performed with RAM instead of the real eFuse registers.

In addition to the CONFIG_EFUSE_VIRTUAL option there is CONFIG_EFUSE_VIRTUAL_KEEP_IN_FLASH option that adds a feature to keep eFuses in flash memory. To use this mode the partition_table should have the efuse partition. partition.csv: "efuse_em, data, efuse, , 0x2000,". During startup, the eFuses are copied from flash or, in case if flash is empty, from real eFuse to RAM and then update flash. This option allows keeping eFuses after reboots (possible to test secure_boot and flash_encryption features with this option).

The commit will be done by the last commit() function. The number of begin() functions should be equal to the number of commit() functions.

Note: If batch mode is enabled by the first task, at this time the second task cannot write/read efuses. The second task will wait for the first task to complete the batch operation.

// Example of using the batch writing mode.

// set the batch writing mode
esp_efuse_batch_write_begin();

// use any writing functions as usual
esp_efuse_write_field_blob(ESP_EFUSE_...);

esp_efuse_write_reg(EFUSE_BLKx, ...);
esp_efuse_write_block(EFUSE_BLKx, ...);
esp_efuse_write(ESP_EFUSE_1, 3);  // ESP_EFUSE_1 == 1, here we write a new value = 3. The changes will be burn by the commit() function.
esp_efuse_read_...(ESP_EFUSE_1);  // this function returns ESP_EFUSE_1 == 1 because uncommitted changes are not readable, it will be available only after commit.
...

// esp_efuse_batch_write APIs can be called recursively.
esp_efuse_batch_write_begin();
esp_efuse_set_write_protect(EFUSE_BLKx);
esp_efuse_batch_write_commit(); // the burn will be skipped here, it will be done in the last commit().

...

// Write all of these fields to the efuse registers
esp_efuse_batch_write_commit();
