PL BRAM's last KB is designated as non-secure and is accessible only by the APU. Configure the associated XMPU region as non-secure with Strict Check Type. The APU has to set the AXI protection security level to non-secure (AxProt[1]=1) to access the region. Since bare metal standalone applications are being run in this example, all transactions originating from the APU enters the PL as secure (AxProt[1]=0). Therefore, to isolate the region to the APU, the region is configured as secure, but only the APU is authorized to access it.
