The NXP i.MX8QXP CPU provides a set of one-time programmable bits (eFuses) organized in a fuse array. The fuse array is available in 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16K bits.
| These bits can be blown just once. Programming them is an irreversible operation. |
Kernel configuration
You can manage the OTP support through the following kernel configuration options:
-
NXP NVMEM On-Chip OTP Memory support (CONFIG_NVMEM_IMX_OCOTP)
-
NXP NVMEM SCU On-Chip OTP memory support (CONFIG_NVMEM_IMX_SCU_OCOTP)
These options are enabled as built-in on the default ConnectCore 8X kernel configuration file.
Kernel driver
The OTP drivers are located at:
| File | Description |
|---|---|
OTP driver for the i.MX8X |
|
OTP driver for the i.MX8X SCU |
Device tree bindings
The device tree node for the OTP driver is defined in the common i.MX8QXP device tree file:
i.MX8QXP device tree
ocotp: ocotp {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
compatible = "fsl,imx8qxp-ocotp", "syscon";
};OTP user space usage
The OTP words are accessible (read-only) through the sysfs at /sys/devices/platform/ocotp/imx-ocotp0/nvmem.
