To disable the Control Register programming, run the following Tcl command:

program_hw_devices -control_efuse {20} [lindex [get_hw_devices] $deviceIdx]

Where $deviceIdx is set to the index of the UltraScale or UltraScale+ device on which you are disabling the eFUSE Control Register bit programming.

This sets the W_DIS_CNTL bit, which in turn disables further eFUSE Control Register bit programming.

Important: If the W_DIS_CNTL bit is programmed, the programming of other eFUSE control register bits is disabled, preventing future edits to the control register of the device.

In the Security Register Setup wizard pane, specify the following settings:

Figure 1. eFUSE Security Register Setup

In the Security Register Setup wizard pane specify security control options over the type of bitstreams allowed to load on the FPGA. The FUSE_SEC settings are:

  • CFG_AES_Only: When set, only accept encrypted bitstreams.
  • EFUSE_KEY_Only: When set, only the eFUSE key can be used for decryption.
  • RSA_AUTH: When set, forces RSA Authentication of bitstreams.
  • SCAN_DISABLE: When set, disables Xilinx access to internal test registers.
  • CRYPT_DISBALE: When set, permanently disables the decryptor.

For more details on the FUSE_SEC register refer to the UltraScale Architecture Configuration User Guide (UG570).

Review the eFUSE settings in the Program eFUSE Registers Summary pane.

Figure 2. Program eFUSE Registers Summary

All bits set in the Program eFUSE Registers wizard panels are shown in this pane. In this pane you will see individual bit settings in order to review the specific programming settings. Carefully review this summary page to ensure every bit that is intended to be programmed is set.

Click Finish to bring up the Program eFUSE confirmation dialog box:
