# 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 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 Technical Reference Manual > eFuse Controller (eFuse) [PDF]. Some eFuse bits are available for user applications.

ESP32 has 4 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 for flash encrypt key. If not using that Flash Encryption feature, they can be used for another purpose;

- EFUSE_BLK2 is used for security boot key. If not using that Secure Boot feature, they can be used for another purpose;

- EFUSE_BLK3 can be partially reserved for the custom MAC address, or used entirely for user application. Note that some bits are already used in ESP-IDF.

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 checks with the common CSV file.

CSV files:

- common (esp_efuse_table.csv) - contains eFuse fields which are used inside the ESP-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_BLK3), 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_ is added to the name, and this field name is available in the code. This name is 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 are placed for this field. Available EFUSE_BLK0..EFUSE_BLK3.

bit_start

> Start bit number (0..255). The bit_start field can be omitted. In this case, it is 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 cannot be omitted. This field also may be `MAX_BLK_LEN` in this case, the field length has the maximum block length, taking into account the coding scheme (applicable for `ESP_EFUSE_SECURE_BOOT_KEY` and `ESP_EFUSE_ENCRYPT_FLASH_KEY` fields). The value `MAX_BLK_LEN` depends on CONFIG_EFUSE_CODE_SCHEME_SELECTOR, which will be replaced with "None" - 256, "3/4" - 192, "REPEAT" - 128.

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, indicating 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 is 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 cannot 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 ESP-IDF names for structured eFuse fields should be unique. The `efuse_table_gen` tool generates the final names where the dot is replaced by `_`. The names for using in ESP-IDF are ESP_EFUSE_WR_DIS, ESP_EFUSE_WR_DIS_RD_DIS, ESP_EFUSE_WR_DIS_FIELD_2_B1, etc.

The `efuse_table_gen` tool checks that the fields do not overlap each other and must be within the range of a field if there is a violation, then throws the following error:

    Field at USER_DATA, EFUSE_BLK3, 0, 256  intersected with  SERIAL_NUMBER, EFUSE_BLK3, 0, 32

Solution: Describe `SERIAL_NUMBER` to be included in `USER_DATA`. (`USER_DATA.SERIAL_NUMBER`).

    Field at FIELD, EFUSE_BLK3, 0, 50  out of range  FIELD.MAJOR_NUMBER, EFUSE_BLK3, 60, 32

Solution: Change `bit_start` for `FIELD.MAJOR_NUMBER` from 60 to 0, so `MAJOR_NUMBER` is in the `FIELD` range.

## `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 --idf_target esp32 esp32/esp_efuse_table.csv

After generation in the folder $IDF_PATH/components/efuse/esp32 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 --idf_target esp32 esp32/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

eFuse have three coding schemes:

- `None` (value 0).

- `3/4` (value 1).

- `Repeat` (value 2).

The coding scheme affects only EFUSE_BLK1, EFUSE_BLK2 and EFUSE_BLK3 blocks. EUSE_BLK0 block always has a coding scheme `None`. Coding changes the number of bits that can be written into a block, the block length is constant 256, some of these bits are used for encoding and not available for the user.

When using a coding scheme, the length of the payload that can be written is limited (for more details `20.3.1.3 System Parameter coding_scheme`):

- None 256 bits.

- 3/4 192 bits.

- Repeat 128 bits.

You can find out the coding scheme of your chip:

- run a `espefuse.py -p PORT summary` command.

- from `esptool` utility logs (during flashing).

- calling the function in the code `esp_efuse_get_coding_scheme()` for the EFUSE_BLK3 block.

eFuse tables must always comply with the coding scheme in the chip. There is an CONFIG_EFUSE_CODE_SCHEME_SELECTOR option to select the coding type for tables in a Kconfig. When generating source files, if your tables do not follow the coding scheme, an error message will be displayed. Adjust the length or offset fields. If your program was compiled with `None` encoding and `3/4` is used in the chip, then the `ESP_ERR_CODING` error may occur when calling the eFuse API (the field is outside the block boundaries). If the field matches the new block boundaries, then the API will work without errors.

Also, 3/4 coding scheme imposes restrictions on writing bits belonging to one coding unit. The whole block with a length of 256 bits is divided into 4 coding units, and in each coding unit there are 6 bytes of useful data and 2 service bytes. These 2 service bytes contain the checksum of the previous 6 data bytes.

It turns out that only one field can be written into one coding unit. Repeated rewriting in one coding unit is prohibited. But if the record was made in advance or through a `esp_efuse_write_block()` function, then reading the fields belonging to one coding unit is possible.

In case `3/4` coding scheme, the writing process is divided into the coding units and we cannot use the usual mode of writing some fields. We can prepare all the data for writing and burn it in one time. You can also use this mode for `None` coding scheme but it is not necessary. It is important for `3/4` coding scheme. `The batch writing mode` blocks `esp_efuse_read_...` operations.

After changing the coding scheme, run `efuse_common_table` and `efuse_custom_table` commands to check the tables of the new coding scheme.

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`.

Note

If there is already pre-written data in the eFuse block using the `3/4 or Repeat` encoding scheme, then it is not possible to write anything extra (even if the required bits are empty) without breaking the previous encoding data. This encoding data will be overwritten with new encoding data and completely destroyed (however, the payload eFuses are not damaged). It can be related to: CUSTOM_MAC, SPI_PAD_CONFIG_HD, SPI_PAD_CONFIG_CS, etc. Please contact Espressif to order the required pre-burnt eFuses.

FOR TESTING ONLY (NOT RECOMMENDED): You can ignore or suppress errors that violate encoding scheme data in order to burn the necessary bits in the eFuse block.

## 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.

- `esp_efuse_destroy_block()` - Destroys the data in this eFuse block. There are two things to do (1) if write protection is not set, then the remaining unset bits are burned, (2) set read protection for this block if it is not locked.

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

    Note: Not printed ranges are free for using. (bits in EFUSE_BLK0 are reserved for Espressif)

The number of bits not included in square brackets is free (some bits are reserved for Espressif). All fields are checked for overlapping.

To add fields to an existing field, use the Structured efuse fields technique. For example, adding the fields: SERIAL_NUMBER, MODEL_NUMBER and HARDWARE REV to an existing `USER_DATA` field. Use `.` (dot) to show an attachment in a field.

    USER_DATA.SERIAL_NUMBER,                  EFUSE_BLK3,    0,  32,
    USER_DATA.MODEL_NUMBER,                   EFUSE_BLK3,    32, 10,
    USER_DATA.HARDWARE_REV,                   EFUSE_BLK3,    42, 10,

2. Fill a line for field: field_name, efuse_block, bit_start, bit_count, comment.

3. Run a `show_efuse_table` command to check eFuse table. To generate source files run `efuse_common_table` or `efuse_custom_table` command.

You may get errors such as `intersects with` or `out of range`. Please see how to solve them in the Structured efuse fields article.

## Bit Order

The eFuses bit order is little endian (see the example below), it means that eFuse bits are read and written from LSB to MSB:

    $ espefuse.py dump

    USER_DATA      (BLOCK3          ) [3 ] read_regs: 03020100 07060504 0B0A0908 0F0E0D0C 13121111 17161514 1B1A1918 1F1E1D1C
    BLOCK4         (BLOCK4          ) [4 ] read_regs: 03020100 07060504 0B0A0908 0F0E0D0C 13121111 17161514 1B1A1918 1F1E1D1C

    where is the register representation:

    EFUSE_RD_USR_DATA0_REG = 0x03020100
    EFUSE_RD_USR_DATA1_REG = 0x07060504
    EFUSE_RD_USR_DATA2_REG = 0x0B0A0908
    EFUSE_RD_USR_DATA3_REG = 0x0F0E0D0C
    EFUSE_RD_USR_DATA4_REG = 0x13121111
    EFUSE_RD_USR_DATA5_REG = 0x17161514
    EFUSE_RD_USR_DATA6_REG = 0x1B1A1918
    EFUSE_RD_USR_DATA7_REG = 0x1F1E1D1C

    where is the byte representation:

    byte[0] = 0x00, byte[1] = 0x01, ... byte[3] = 0x03, byte[4] = 0x04, ..., byte[31] = 0x1F

For example, csv file describes the `USER_DATA` field, which occupies all 256 bits (a whole block).

    USER_DATA,          EFUSE_BLK3,    0,  256,     User data
    USER_DATA.FIELD1,   EFUSE_BLK3,    16,  16,     Field1

    ID,                 EFUSE_BLK4,    8,  3,      ID bit[0..2]
    ,                   EFUSE_BLK4,    16, 2,      ID bit[3..4]
    ,                   EFUSE_BLK4,    32, 3,      ID bit[5..7]

Thus, reading the eFuse `USER_DATA` block written as above gives the following results:

    uint8_t buf[32] = { 0 };
    esp_efuse_read_field_blob(ESP_EFUSE_USER_DATA, &buf, sizeof(buf) * 8);
    // buf[0] = 0x00, buf[1] = 0x01, ... buf[31] = 0x1F

    uint32_t field1 = 0;
    size_t field1_size = ESP_EFUSE_USER_DATA[0]->bit_count; // can be used for this case because it only consists of one entry
    esp_efuse_read_field_blob(ESP_EFUSE_USER_DATA, &field1, field1_size);
    // field1 = 0x0302

    uint32_t field1_1 = 0;
    esp_efuse_read_field_blob(ESP_EFUSE_USER_DATA, &field1_1, 2); // reads only first 2 bits
    // field1 = 0x0002

    uint8_t id = 0;
    size_t id_size = esp_efuse_get_field_size(ESP_EFUSE_ID); // returns 6
    // size_t id_size = ESP_EFUSE_USER_DATA[0]->bit_count; // cannot be used because it consists of 3 entries. It returns 3 not 6.
    esp_efuse_read_field_blob(ESP_EFUSE_ID, &id, id_size);
    // id = 0x91
    // b'100 10  001
    //   [3] [2] [3]

    uint8_t id_1 = 0;
    esp_efuse_read_field_blob(ESP_EFUSE_ID, &id_1, 3);
    // id = 0x01
    // b'001

## Get eFuses During Build

There is a way to get the state of eFuses at the build stage of the project. There are two cmake functions for this:

- `espefuse_get_json_summary()` - It calls the `espefuse.py summary --format json` command and returns a json string (it is not stored in a file).

- `espefuse_get_efuse()` - It finds a given eFuse name in the json string and returns its property.

The json string has the following properties:

    {
        "MAC": {
            "bit_len": 48,
            "block": 0,
            "category": "identity",
            "description": "Factory MAC Address",
            "efuse_type": "bytes:6",
            "name": "MAC",
            "pos": 0,
            "readable": true,
            "value": "94:b9:7e:5a:6e:58 (CRC 0xe2 OK)",
            "word": 1,
            "writeable": true
        },
    }

These functions can be used from a top-level project `CMakeLists.txt` (get-started/hello_world/CMakeLists.txt):

    # ...
    project(hello_world)

    espefuse_get_json_summary(efuse_json)
    espefuse_get_efuse(ret_data ${efuse_json} "MAC" "value")
    message("MAC:" ${ret_data})

The format of the `value` property is the same as shown in `espefuse.py summary`.

    MAC:94:b9:7e:5a:6e:58 (CRC 0xe2 OK)

There is an example test system/efuse/CMakeLists.txt which adds a custom target `efuse-summary`. This allows you to run the `idf.py efuse-summary` command to read the required eFuses (specified in the `efuse_names` list) at any time, not just at project build time.

## Debug eFuse & Unit Tests

### Virtual eFuses

The Kconfig option CONFIG_EFUSE_VIRTUAL virtualizes 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).

#### Flash Encryption Testing

Flash Encryption (FE) is a hardware feature that requires the physical burning of eFuses: key and FLASH_CRYPT_CNT. If FE is not actually enabled then enabling the CONFIG_EFUSE_VIRTUAL_KEEP_IN_FLASH option just gives testing possibilities and does not encrypt anything in the flash, even though the logs say encryption happens. The `bootloader_flash_write()` is adapted for this purpose. But if FE is already enabled on the chip and you run an application or bootloader created with the CONFIG_EFUSE_VIRTUAL_KEEP_IN_FLASH option then the flash encryption/decryption operations will work properly (data are encrypted as it is written into an encrypted flash partition and decrypted when they are read from an encrypted partition).

### `espefuse.py`

esptool includes a useful tool for reading/writing ESP32 eFuse bits - espefuse.py.

### Functions

esp_err_t esp_efuse_read_field_blob(const esp_efuse_desc_t *field[], void *dst, size_t dst_size_bits)

  Reads bits from EFUSE field and writes it into an array.

  The number of read bits will be limited to the minimum value from the description of the bits in "field" structure or "dst_size_bits" required size. Use "esp_efuse_get_field_size()" function to determine the length of the field.

  Note

  Please note that reading in the batch mode does not show uncommitted changes.

  Parameters:

    - field -- [in] A pointer to the structure describing the fields of efuse.

    - dst -- [out] A pointer to array that will contain the result of reading.

    - dst_size_bits -- [in] The number of bits required to read. If the requested number of bits is greater than the field, the number will be limited to the field size.

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK: The operation was successfully completed.

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG: Error in the passed arguments.

bool esp_efuse_read_field_bit(const esp_efuse_desc_t *field[])

  Read a single bit eFuse field as a boolean value.

  Note

  The value must exist and must be a single bit wide. If there is any possibility of an error in the provided arguments, call esp_efuse_read_field_blob() and check the returned value instead.

  Note

  If assertions are enabled and the parameter is invalid, execution will abort

  Note

  Please note that reading in the batch mode does not show uncommitted changes.

  Parameters:

    field -- [in] A pointer to the structure describing the fields of efuse.

  Returns:

    - true: The field parameter is valid and the bit is set.

    - false: The bit is not set, or the parameter is invalid and assertions are disabled.

esp_err_t esp_efuse_read_field_cnt(const esp_efuse_desc_t *field[], size_t *out_cnt)

  Reads bits from EFUSE field and returns number of bits programmed as "1".

  If the bits are set not sequentially, they will still be counted.

  Note

  Please note that reading in the batch mode does not show uncommitted changes.

  Parameters:

    - field -- [in] A pointer to the structure describing the fields of efuse.

    - out_cnt -- [out] A pointer that will contain the number of programmed as "1" bits.

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK: The operation was successfully completed.

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG: Error in the passed arguments.

esp_err_t esp_efuse_write_field_blob(const esp_efuse_desc_t *field[], const void *src, size_t src_size_bits)

  Writes array to EFUSE field.

  The number of write bits will be limited to the minimum value from the description of the bits in "field" structure or "src_size_bits" required size. Use "esp_efuse_get_field_size()" function to determine the length of the field. After the function is completed, the writing registers are cleared.

  Parameters:

    - field -- [in] A pointer to the structure describing the fields of efuse.

    - src -- [in] A pointer to array that contains the data for writing.

    - src_size_bits -- [in] The number of bits required to write.

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK: The operation was successfully completed.

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG: Error in the passed arguments.

    - ESP_ERR_EFUSE_REPEATED_PROG: Error repeated programming of programmed bits is strictly forbidden.

    - ESP_ERR_CODING: Error range of data does not match the coding scheme.

esp_err_t esp_efuse_write_field_cnt(const esp_efuse_desc_t *field[], size_t cnt)

  Writes a required count of bits as "1" to EFUSE field.

  If there are no free bits in the field to set the required number of bits to "1", ESP_ERR_EFUSE_CNT_IS_FULL error is returned, the field will not be partially recorded. After the function is completed, the writing registers are cleared.

  Parameters:

    - field -- [in] A pointer to the structure describing the fields of efuse.

    - cnt -- [in] Required number of programmed as "1" bits.

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK: The operation was successfully completed.

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG: Error in the passed arguments.

    - ESP_ERR_EFUSE_CNT_IS_FULL: Not all requested cnt bits is set.

esp_err_t esp_efuse_write_field_bit(const esp_efuse_desc_t *field[])

  Write a single bit eFuse field to 1.

  For use with eFuse fields that are a single bit. This function will write the bit to value 1 if it is not already set, or does nothing if the bit is already set.

  This is equivalent to calling esp_efuse_write_field_cnt() with the cnt parameter equal to 1, except that it will return ESP_OK if the field is already set to 1.

  Parameters:

    field -- [in] Pointer to the structure describing the efuse field.

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK: The operation was successfully completed, or the bit was already set to value 1.

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG: Error in the passed arguments, including if the efuse field is not 1 bit wide.

esp_err_t esp_efuse_set_write_protect(esp_efuse_block_t blk)

  Sets a write protection for the whole block.

  After that, it is impossible to write to this block. The write protection does not apply to block 0.

  Parameters:

    blk -- [in] Block number of eFuse. (EFUSE_BLK1, EFUSE_BLK2 and EFUSE_BLK3)

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK: The operation was successfully completed.

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG: Error in the passed arguments.

    - ESP_ERR_EFUSE_CNT_IS_FULL: Not all requested cnt bits is set.

    - ESP_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED: The block does not support this command.

esp_err_t esp_efuse_set_read_protect(esp_efuse_block_t blk)

  Sets a read protection for the whole block.

  After that, it is impossible to read from this block. The read protection does not apply to block 0.

  Parameters:

    blk -- [in] Block number of eFuse. (EFUSE_BLK1, EFUSE_BLK2 and EFUSE_BLK3)

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK: The operation was successfully completed.

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG: Error in the passed arguments.

    - ESP_ERR_EFUSE_CNT_IS_FULL: Not all requested cnt bits is set.

void esp_efuse_reset(void)

  Reset efuse write registers.

  Efuse write registers are written to zero, to negate any changes that have been staged here.

  Note

  This function is not threadsafe, if calling code updates efuse values from multiple tasks then this is caller's responsibility to serialise.

void esp_efuse_disable_basic_rom_console(void)

  Disable BASIC ROM Console via efuse.

  By default, if booting from flash fails the ESP32 will boot a BASIC console in ROM.

  Call this function (from bootloader or app) to permanently disable the console on this chip.

esp_err_t esp_efuse_disable_rom_download_mode(void)

  Disable ROM Download Mode via eFuse.

  Permanently disables the ROM Download Mode feature. Once disabled, if the SoC is booted with strapping pins set for ROM Download Mode then an error is printed instead.

  Note

  Not all SoCs support this option. An error will be returned if called on an ESP32 with a silicon revision lower than 3, as these revisions do not support this option.

  Note

  If ROM Download Mode is already disabled, this function does nothing and returns success.

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK If the eFuse was successfully burned, or had already been burned.

    - ESP_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED (ESP32 only) This SoC is not capable of disabling UART download mode

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE (ESP32 only) This eFuse is write protected and cannot be written

esp_err_t esp_efuse_set_rom_log_scheme(esp_efuse_rom_log_scheme_t log_scheme)

  Set boot ROM log scheme via eFuse.

  Note

  By default, the boot ROM will always print to console. This API can be called to set the log scheme only once per chip, once the value is changed from the default it can't be changed again.

  Parameters:

    log_scheme -- Supported ROM log scheme

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK If the eFuse was successfully burned, or had already been burned.

    - ESP_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED (ESP32 only) This SoC is not capable of setting ROM log scheme

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE This eFuse is write protected or has been burned already

  Return secure_version from efuse field.

  Returns:

    Secure version from efuse field

bool esp_efuse_check_secure_version(uint32_t secure_version)

  Check secure_version from app and secure_version and from efuse field.

    - True: If version of app is equal or more then secure_version from efuse.

esp_err_t esp_efuse_update_secure_version(uint32_t secure_version)

  Write efuse field by secure_version value.

  Update the secure_version value is available if the coding scheme is None. Note: Do not use this function in your applications. This function is called as part of the other API.

  Parameters:

    secure_version -- [in] Secure version from app.

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK: Successful.

    - ESP_FAIL: secure version of app cannot be set to efuse field.

    - ESP_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED: Anti rollback is not supported with the 3/4 and Repeat coding scheme.

esp_err_t esp_efuse_batch_write_begin(void)

  Set the batch mode of writing fields.

  This mode allows you to write the fields in the batch mode when need to burn several efuses at one time. To enable batch mode call begin() then perform as usually the necessary operations read and write and at the end call commit() to actually burn all written efuses. The batch mode can be used nested. 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_field_cnt(ESP_EFUSE_...);
      esp_efuse_set_write_protect(EFUSE_BLKx);
      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();
      esp_efuse_read_...(ESP_EFUSE_1);  // this function returns ESP_EFUSE_1 == 3.

  Program a block of key data to an efuse block.

  The burn of a key, protection bits, and a purpose happens in batch mode.

  Note

  This API also enables the read protection efuse bit for certain key blocks like XTS-AES, HMAC, ECDSA etc. This ensures that the key is only accessible to hardware peripheral.

  Note

  For SoC's with capability `SOC_EFUSE_ECDSA_USE_HARDWARE_K` (e.g., ESP32-H2), this API writes an additional efuse bit for ECDSA key purpose to enforce hardware TRNG generated k mode in the peripheral.

  Parameters:

    - block -- [in] Block to read purpose for. Must be in range EFUSE_BLK_KEY0 to EFUSE_BLK_KEY_MAX. Key block must be unused (esp_efuse_key_block_unused).

    - purpose -- [in] Purpose to set for this key. Purpose must be already unset.

    - key -- [in] Pointer to data to write.

    - key_size_bytes -- [in] Bytes length of data to write.

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK: Successful.

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG: Error in the passed arguments.

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE: Error in efuses state, unused block not found.

esp_err_t esp_efuse_write_keys(const esp_efuse_purpose_t purposes[], uint8_t keys[][32], unsigned number_of_keys)

  Program keys to unused efuse blocks.

  The burn of keys, protection bits, and purposes happens in batch mode.

  Note

  This API also enables the read protection efuse bit for certain key blocks like XTS-AES, HMAC, ECDSA etc. This ensures that the key is only accessible to hardware peripheral.

  Note

  For SoC's with capability `SOC_EFUSE_ECDSA_USE_HARDWARE_K` (e.g., ESP32-H2), this API writes an additional efuse bit for ECDSA key purpose to enforce hardware TRNG generated k mode in the peripheral.

  Parameters:

    - purposes -- [in] Array of purposes (purpose[number_of_keys]).

    - keys -- [in] Array of keys (uint8_t keys[number_of_keys][32]). Each key is 32 bytes long.

    - number_of_keys -- [in] The number of keys to write (up to 6 keys).

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK: Successful.

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG: Error in the passed arguments.

    - ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE: Error in efuses state, unused block not found.

esp_err_t esp_efuse_check_errors(void)

  Checks eFuse errors in BLOCK0.

  It does a BLOCK0 check if eFuse EFUSE_ERR_RST_ENABLE is set. If BLOCK0 has an error, it prints the error and returns ESP_FAIL, which should be treated as esp_restart.

  Note

  Refers to ESP32-C3 only.

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK: No errors in BLOCK0.

    - ESP_FAIL: Error in BLOCK0 requiring reboot.

esp_err_t esp_efuse_destroy_block(esp_efuse_block_t block)

  Destroys the data in the given efuse block, if possible.

  Data destruction occurs through the following steps: 1) Destroy data in the block:

  - If write protection is inactive for the block, then unset bits are burned.

  - If write protection is active, the block remains unaltered. 2) Set read protection for the block if possible (check write-protection for RD_DIS). In this case, data becomes inaccessible, and the software reads it as all zeros. If write protection is enabled and read protection can not be set, data in the block remains readable (returns an error).

  Do not use the batch mode with this function as it does the burning itself!

  Parameters:

    block -- [in] A key block in the range EFUSE_BLK_KEY0..EFUSE_BLK_KEY_MAX

  Returns:

    - ESP_OK: Successful.

    - ESP_FAIL: Data remained readable because the block is write-protected and read protection can not be set.
