Lattice Semiconductor Showcases Easy-to-Use Firmware Security Solution at 2020 OCP Summit
February 20 2020 - 4:00PM
Business Wire
Lattice Semiconductor (NASDAQ: LSCC), the low power programmable
leader, today announced the company will attend the 2020 Open
Compute Project Global Summit to demonstrate the company’s
flexible, scalable, and customizable Platform Firmware Resiliency
(PFR) solution based on its MachXO3D™ FPGA for secure system
control. The Open Compute Project (OCP) is a rapidly growing,
global community focused on redesigning hardware technology to
efficiently support the growing demands on the compute
infrastructure.
Firmware vulnerabilities can expose OEMs to problems like data
and design theft, product cloning and overbuilding, and device
tampering or hijacking. The US National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) Platform Firmware Resiliency standard provides
guidelines for detecting, protecting, and recovering from
unauthorized changes to system firmware. MachXO3D FPGAs are the
industry’s first control-oriented FPGAs compliant with the PFR
specification and provide a quick and easy way for developers to
design PFR-protected servers. Acting as a hardware Root of Trust
(RoT), the MachXO3D device can block firmware attacks during system
operation and ensures that all processors in the system only
execute trusted firmware. In addition to the MachXO3D FPGA, the
Lattice PFR solution includes software tools and IP that enable
OEMs to easily adopt and customize PFR functionality for their
servers through simple modifications to the embedded C code.
“When used as the control PLD to manage power supplies and other
hardware control signals in servers, a MachXO3D FPGA is typically
configured to be the first on/last off device when the server
powers up or down,” said Shyam Chandra, Business Development
Manager, Lattice Semiconductor. “This makes the MachXO3D an ideal
device for integrating hardware Root of Trust functionality, a key
requirement of the NIST PFR specification that enables servers to
defend against illegitimate attempts to access any firmware
instances in the system.”
