nRF9160: Secure Services

The Secure Services sample shows how to use the secure services provided by nRF9160: Secure Partition Manager. This firmware needs nRF9160: Secure Partition Manager to also be present on the chip.

Overview

This sample generates random numbers and prints them to the console, sleeps, then reboots. This is to demonstrate the spm_request_system_reboot() and spm_request_random_number() secure services.

Requirements

The following development board:

  • nRF9160 DK board (PCA10090) - see Working with nRF9160

  • The sample is configured to compile and run as a non-secure application on nRF91’s Cortex-M33. Therefore, it automatically includes the nRF9160: Secure Partition Manager that prepares the required peripherals to be available for the application.

Building and running

This sample can be found under samples/nrf9160/secure_services in the nRF Connect SDK folder structure.

The sample is built as a non-secure firmware image for the nrf9160dk_nrf9160ns build target. Because of this, it automatically includes the nRF9160: Secure Partition Manager.

See Building and programming a sample application for information about how to build and program the application.

Dependencies

This sample uses the following nRF Connect SDK libraries:
