Is there any documentation on the Table of Contents2 (TOC2) beyond what is in "AN221111 PSoC 6 MCU designing a custom secured system"?  I'm specifically interested in how userKeyAddr is used.  userKeyAddr should point to a 1k block of flash that has space for 4 keys, but I can't find anything on what these keys are.

Hi @lhoag972 ,

userKeyAddr is pointer to array of user keys. You can initialize this section for storing AES/DES/TDES keys for encrypting/decrypting the data for your applications, It is optional, if you don't have any need for using keys, you can set them to zero. For more information on how to configure TOC2 refer: mtb-example-psoc6-security 
This code example is a companion to the AN221111 application Note.


Thanks and Regards,
Pushyanth

Hi Pushyanth,

My problem is resolved.  I was trying to set the value to 0 so that I didn't need to point to anything.  I wasn't sure if the ROM/SFLASH code was looking at the value.  My problem was that when I set the pointer to 0 the linker was doing something wonky for some reason and not properly aligning the vector table in memory (following the application header).  When I had CySecureKeyStorage in used in the code the linker was putting the vector table at a good offset.  If I tool CySecureKeyStorage out, the linker was putting the vector table at a bad address.  In the DFU link control file __Vectors had a . = ALIGN(4) statement.  I changed this to . = ALIGN(256) an the problem went away.  I'll just leave the ALIGN(256) as the fix.
