6.1.10. HDCP 2.3 RX Architecture

The receiver block decrypts the protected video and auxiliary data from the connected HDCP 2.3 device. The HDCP 2.3 receiver block has identical structure layers as the HDCP 2.3 transmitter block.
Figure 56. Architecture Block Diagram of HDCP 2.3 RX IP

The HDCP 2.3 RX core is fully autonomous. For HDMI application, the transmitter drives the HDCP 2.3 RX core using the standard DDC interface supporting I2C protocol.

The HDCP specifications requires the HDCP 2.3 RX core to be programmed with the DCP-issued production key – Global Constant (lc128), RSA private key (kprivrx) and RSA Public Key Certificate (certrx). The IP retrieves the key from the on-chip memory externally to the core through the HDCP Key Port. The on-chip memory must store the key data in the arrangement shown in the table below.

The Video Stream and Auxiliary Layer receives audio and video content over its Video and Aux Data Input Port, and performs the decryption operation. The Video Stream and Auxiliary Layer detects the Encryption Status Signaling (ESS) provided by the HDMI IP to determine when to decrypt frames.

To implement the HDCP 2.3 RX core as a repeater upstream interface, the IP must propagate certain information such as ReceiverID List and RxInfo to the upstream transmitter and to be used for HMAC computation. The repeater downstream interface (TX) must provide this information using the Repeater Message Port (Avalon-MM). You can use the same clock source to drive the clocking for the HDCP Register Port and Repeater Message Port.

The RX registers mapping defined in the following table is equivalent to the address space for HDCP 2.3 receiver defined in the HDCP specification.

3 REAUTH_REQ When set to 1, indicates the link integrity check failure at the receiver (including upstream side of the repeater) or the upstream side of the repeater has transitioned into an unauthenticated state. Self-cleared by the core on every new authentication initiated by the AKE_Init message.
2 READY When set to 1, the repeater has built the list of downstream Receiver IDs and computed the verification value V’. Self-cleared by the core as soon as the RepeaterAuth_Send_ReceiverID_List message has been read by the transmitter or on every new authentication request by the transmitter.

Set to 0 if no downstream is connected or if the connected downstream is not HDCP 2.3-capable. This means the receiver IP core is an end-point receiver rather than a repeater.

Set to 1 if the connected downstream is HDCP- capable.
