`regwen_csr_and_corresponding_lockable_csr`

Tests:

lc_ctrl_csr_rw
lc_ctrl_csr_aliasing

Verify regwen CSR and its corresponding lockable CSRs.

Randomly access all CSRs
Test when regwen CSR is set, its corresponding lockable CSRs become read-only registers

Note:

If regwen CSR is HW read-only, this feature can be fully tested by common CSR tests - csr_rw and csr_aliasing.
If regwen CSR is HW updated, a separate test should be created to test it.

This is only applicable if the block contains regwen and locakable CSRs.

This test is based on smoke test. After smoke sequence, this test adds additional lc_state transition request before issuing reset. This should happen regardless if the transition is successful. Use scoreboard to ensure lc_ctrl ignores this additional lc_state transition request and check state count.

`regwen_during_op`

Test: lc_ctrl_regwen_during_op

lc_ctrl state transition request is invalid
input LC token does not match the output from otp_ctrl
flash rma responses to lc_ctrl request with error
lc_ctrl clock bypass responses with error
input otp_lc_data’s error bit is set to 1 Note that all the above scenarios except the last one requires a reset to recover.

Stimulus:

Issue mux_claim operation from TLUL and JTAG interfaces at the same time.

Checks:

Ensure TAP interface has the priority.

This test covers lc_ctrl volatile_raw_unlock functionality.

Stimulus:

Claim the mutex.
Set volatile_raw_unlock to 1.

Check status and volatile_raw_unlock output.
If the raw unlock transition is successful, check the second lc_transition can be performed without any error.

Checks if the feature is disabled in HW:

Check that the volatile_raw_unlock CSR stays at 0
Check that the transition command fails with a token error (a real unlock transition expects the unhashed token instead of the hashed one).

`stress_all`

Test: lc_ctrl_stress_all

Combine above sequences in one test to run sequentially, except csr sequence.
Random selection of Tilelink or JTAG CSR for each sequence
Randomly add reset between each sequence.

Verify common alert_test CSR that allows SW to mock-inject alert requests.

Enable a random set of alert requests by writing random value to alert_test CSR.
Check each alert_tx.alert_p pin to verify that only the requested alerts are triggered.
During alert_handshakes, write alert_test CSR again to verify that: If alert_test writes to current ongoing alert handshake, the alert_test request will be ignored. If alert_test writes to current idle alert handshake, a new alert_handshake should be triggered.
Wait for the alert handshakes to finish and verify alert_tx.alert_p pins all sets back to 0.

TL-UL protocol error cases
- invalid opcode
- some mask bits not set when opcode is PutFullData
- mask does not match the transfer size, e.g. a_address = 0x00, a_size = 0, a_mask = 'b0010
- mask and address misaligned, e.g. a_address = 0x01, a_mask = 'b0001
- address and size aren’t aligned, e.g. a_address = 0x01, a_size != 0
- size is greater than 2
OpenTitan defined error cases
- access unmapped address, expect d_error = 1
- write a CSR with unaligned address, e.g. a_address[1:0] != 0

- write a memory with a_mask != '1 when it doesn’t support partial accesses
- read a WO (write-only) memory
- write a RO (read-only) memory

the FSM enum is glitched into an undefined state (MAIN.FSM.SPARSE),
the KMAC interface FSM is glitched into an undefined state (KMAC.FSM.SPARSE),

Note: This is expected to be formally proven by FPV test lc_ctrl_sec_cm_fsm but there is currently no mechanism to include this in the testplan.

`sec_cm_intersig_mubi`

Test: lc_ctrl_sec_mubi

INTERSIG.MUBI:

Verify the behavior of MUBI inputs as follows:

lc_clk_byp_ack_i: Verify that an inconsistent input value (lc_clk_byp_ack_i != lc_clk_byp_ack_o) causes an OTP_ERROR when a life cycle transition is initiated.

There are two ways this condition can be triggered: either no external clock is requested, and then setting lc_clk_byp_ack_i to any value other than ‘OFF’ when initiating the life cycle transition should trigger this error. If the external clock is requested, setting lc_clk_byp_ack_i to any value other than ‘ON’ after the main FSM has progressed through the ClkMuxSt state should trigger this error.

lc_flash_rma_ack_i: Verify that an inconsistent input value (lc_flash_rma_ack_i != lc_flash_rma_ack_o) causes a FLASH_RMA_ERROR when a life cycle transition is initiated.

There are two ways this condition can be triggered: either no RMA transition is requested, and then setting lc_flash_rma_ack_i to any value other than ‘OFF’ when initiating the life cycle transition should trigger this error. If an RMA transition is requested, setting lc_flash_rma_ack_i to any value other than ‘ON’ after the main FSM has progressed through the FlashRmaSt state should trigger this error.

The main life cycle FSM should not progress through the TransProgSt if this error occurs.

`sec_cm_token_valid_ctrl_mubi`

Test: lc_ctrl_sec_mubi

TOKEN_VALID.CTRL.MUBI:

Verify that any value other than ‘ON’ will lead to a TOKEN_ERROR in life cycle transitions where the associated token is being used. The main life cycle FSM should not progress through the TransProgSt if this error occurs.

`sec_cm_token_digest`

Test: lc_ctrl_sec_token_digest

TOKEN.DIGEST:

Life cycle tokens are hashed using an external SHA3 block, and checked multiple times internally. In order to verify this countermeasure, the following aspects should be tested:

All valid hashed token values (RAW_UNLOCK, TEST_UNLOCK, TEST_EXIT and RMA) should be tested in conjunction with the appropriate life cycle transition to make sure that the correct tokens are selected internally (the RAW_UNLOCK token is a netlist constant, while the other tokens are supplied by OTP).
The hashed token is checked three times overall in the TokenHashSt, TokenCheck0St and TokenCheck1St. Verify that a mismatch in any of these checks will lead to a TOKEN_ERROR.

`sec_cm_token_mux_ctrl_redun`

Test: lc_ctrl_sec_token_mux

TOKEN_MUX.CTRL.REDUN:

The token mux is split into two halves that are indexed separately. Verify that any inconsistency between the two indexes leads to a TRANSITION_ERROR, without the main FSM going through the TransProgSt state. To that end, an inconsistency is triggered by forcing the token_idx0/1 signals to different values when initiating a lifecycle transition.

Note: the same test as for TOKEN_VALID.MUX.REDUN can be used.

`sec_cm_token_valid_mux_redun`

Test: lc_ctrl_sec_token_mux

TOKEN_VALID.MUX.REDUN:

Note: the same test as for TOKEN_MUX.CTRL.REDUN can be used.

Indicates what error conditions have been injected.

lc_ctrl_fsm_cg

lc_ctrl_fsm states and arcs

regwen_val_when_new_value_written_cg

Cover each lockable reg field with these 2 cases:

When regwen = 1, a different value is written to the lockable CSR field, and a read occurs after that.
When regwen = 0, a different value is written to the lockable CSR field, and a read occurs after that.

This is only applicable if the block contains regwen and locakable CSRs.
