Introduction

The example demonstrates the MCU firewall isolation in the use case when the MCU domain is running a safety application. The MCU-R5 application configures a firewall to the MAIN domain I2C by allowing access only to the MCU-R5 core and locks this firewall configuration ownership to the MCU core. After configuring the firewall, it reads data from the main domain I2C to check the access from MCU-R5 core. Then it will a send a ipc notify message to the Wkup-R5 core to trigger a firewall exception. The Wkup-R5 application waits for ipc notify message from the MCU core. Upon receiving the message, it triggers a firewall exception by accessing the I2C0 register config and it will go to data abort. The MCU-R5 receives a interrupt for firewall exception. If the interrupt is not received the test fails.

Supported Combinations

Parameter	Value
CPU + OS	mcu-r5fss0-0 nortos
	r5fss0-0 freertos
Toolchain	ti-arm-clang

Steps

• When using CCS projects to build, import the CCS project for the required combination and build it using the CCS project menu (see Using SDK with CCS Projects).
• When using makefiles to build, note the required combination and build using make command (see Using SDK with Makefiles)
• Launch a CCS debug session and run the executable, see CCS Launch, Load and Run

Sample Output

Shown below is a sample output when the application is run,
