→Hardware implementations of the ConfigID
== Hardware implementations of the ConfigID ==
The following paragraphs briefly describe the available solution solutions for storing the ConfigID.
=== OTP on the SOC ===
Some SOCs provides programmable OTPs (eg. for security, mac MAC address, boot modes, etc). Usually , some of these are general purpose registers and can be managed by the user.
This is the ideal implementation, because:
* ConfigID is stored in the most important component of the SOM
* the component that hosts the ConfigID is NOT optional
* typically, a very selective lock can be forced. In general, for reliability and/or security reasons, OTP areas used to store ConfigIDs may be locked during the manufacturing process.
=== OTP 1-wire memory ===
