7.2.1.1.1. Secure Bus Accesses
The Cortex* -A9 MPCore and other masters that utilize the system interconnect can be configured for secure or non-secure accesses.
Master accesses drive a protection signal, AxPROT[1], to communicate the security level of the attempted transaction. The Cortex* -A9 drives this signal low for secure accesses and high for non-secure accesses. The secure firewalls determine whether the access is allowed or not. A slave access type defaults to secure if no other configuration is programmed. Users can define whether a bus error is generated or if a bus failure occurs when a secure access is violated.
