(If so: Why?) I checked with secure systems team on this. Crypto BAM is behind apps_smmu, so protection is enforced through the SMMU's Stage-2 page tables. A2 BAM (used by BAM-DMUX) is present in secure domain and does not support Stage-2 translation on this SoC, and there is no IOMMU domain that can be attached to it. The only protection mechanism available is the xPU. Thanks, Vishnu > > If you had BAM-DMUX mapped using the SMMU you would get all of this for > free.
