5.6. SDM Cryptographic Services

The SDM on Intel Agilex® 7 devices provides cryptographic services that FPGA fabric logic or the HPS may request via the respective SDM mailbox interface. For more information about the mailbox commands and data formats for all SDM cryptographic services, refer to Appendix B in the Security Methodology for Intel FPGAs and Structured ASICs User Guide.

To access the SDM mailbox interface to FPGA fabric logic for SDM cryptographic services, you must instantiate the Mailbox Client Intel FPGA IP in your design.

Reference code to access to the SDM mailbox interface from the HPS is included in the ATF and Linux code provided by Intel.
