This page explains how to manually update OTP with the U-Boot fuse command.
1. The fuse command[edit source]
The fuse command allows you to update the OTP words in U-Boot:
- sense/program to directly access the OTP value (for a permanent update)
- read/overidde to access only the shadow cache value (for a temporary update).
help fuse fuse - Fuse sub-system Usage: fuse read <bank> <word> [<cnt>] - read 1 or 'cnt' fuse words, starting at 'word' fuse sense <bank> <word> [<cnt>] - sense 1 or 'cnt' fuse words, starting at 'word' fuse prog [-y] <bank> <word> <hexval> [<hexval>...] - program 1 or several fuse words, starting at 'word' (PERMANENT) fuse override <bank> <word> <hexval> [<hexval>...] - override 1 or several fuse words, starting at 'word'.
See doc/README.fuse for details.
2. STM32MP15x support[edit source]
The STM32MP15x lines 
support is implemented in drivers/misc/stm32mp_fuse.c with 2 banks:
- <bank> = SOC OTP: 0 #STM32MP15x OTP
- <bank> = PMIC NVM : 1 #STPMIC1 NVM.
2.1. STM32MP15x OTP[edit source]
<bank> = 0 provides access to the 96 STM32MP15x OTP words with the BSEC driver: arch/arm/mach-stm32mp/bsec.c .
Refer to the STM32MP15 reference manuals for the OTP layout.
The OTP<index> words value and lock status (0=unlocked, 1=locked) are available with <index> = 0 to 95 :
- for value: <word> = <index>
- for lock status: <word> = 0x10000000 + <index>
not shadowed, only support operation 'sense' and program
value = 1 for permanent write lock activated.
Only 32 lower OTPs words are accessible by default, the software needs to manage exceptions to allow some upper OTPs to be accessed by the non-secure world as described in BSEC_device_tree_configuration.
2.1.1. Simple OTP examples[edit source]
1) Read OTP value for OTP57 and 58 (2 OTP words)
fuse sense 0 57 2 Sensing bank 0: Word 0x00000039: 42e18000 0000e448
2) Check lock status of OTP 57 - 60 (4 words at index 57 = 0x39)
fuse sense 0 0x10000039 4 Sensing bank 0: Word 0x10000039: 00000001 00000001 00000001 00000000
3) Display shadow values for all OTPs
When only the 32 lower OTPs are accessible:
fuse read 0 0 32 Reading bank 0: Word 0x00000000: 00000017 00008001 00000000 00000000 Word 0x00000004: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 Word 0x00000008: 00000000 82004000 00000000 00000000 Word 0x0000000c: 7d04f0db 00470022 33385115 34383330 Word 0x00000010: 22986562 27010551 7a470140 06cc1608 Word 0x00000014: 5e560054 00000000 00000000 401a300c Word 0x00000018: ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff Word 0x0000001c: ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff
When all the 96 OTPs are available:

4) Override value for one OTP
fuse override 0 0x0000005c 1 Overriding bank 0 word 0x0000005c with 0x00000001...
fuse read 0 0x0000005c Reading bank 0: Word 0x0000005c: 00000001 fuse sense 0 0x0000005c Sensing bank 0: Word 0x0000005c: 00000000
2.1.2. MAC address example[edit source]
For STM32MP15_boards, the MAC address[1] is retrieved in the 2 OTP words:
- OTP_57[31:0] = MAC_ADDR[31:0]
- OTP_58[15:0] = MAC_ADDR[47:32]
To program a MAC address on virgin OTP words above, you can use the fuse command on bank 0 to access internal OTP words and lock them:
Prerequisite: check if a MAC address isn't yet programmed in OTP.
1) Check OTPs: their value must be equal to 0:
fuse sense 0 57 2 Sensing bank 0: Word 0x00000039: 00000000 00000000
2) Check environment variable:
env print ethaddr ## Error: "ethaddr" not defined
3) Check lock status of OTP 57 & 58 (at 0x39, 0=unlocked, 1=locked):
fuse sense 0 0x10000039 2
Sensing bank 0:
Word 0x10000039: 00000000 00000000
Example to set MAC address "12:34:56:78:9a:bc"
1) Write OTP:
fuse prog -y 0 57 0x78563412 0x0000bc9a
2) Read OTP:
fuse sense 0 57 2 Sensing bank 0: Word 0x00000039: 78563412 0000bc9a
3) Lock OTP:
fuse prog 0 0x10000039 1 1
fuse sense 0 0x10000039 2
Sensing bank 0:
Word 0x10000039: 00000001 00000001
4) OTP is used after REBOOT, in the trace:
### Setting environment from OTP MAC address = "12:34:56:78:9a:bc"
5) Check env update:
env print ethaddr ethaddr=12:34:56:78:9a:bc
2.2. STPMIC1 NVM[edit source]
<bank> = 1 provides access to the non-volatile memory (NVM) of the PMIC on the board.
For STPMIC1, the NVM has 8 bytes as defined in datasheet: DS12792, with <word> = <0xf8> to <0xff>.
1) Read the values of the 8 NVM
fuse read 1 0xf8 8 Reading bank 1: Word 0x000000f8: 000000ee 00000092 000000c0 00000002 Word 0x000000fc: 000000f2 00000080 00000002 00000033
2) Read 2 NVM shadow values
fuse sense 1 0xf9 2 Sensing bank 1: Word 0x000000f9: 00000092 000000c0
3) Update the NVM at index 0xfc with value 0xf2
fuse prog 1 0xfc 0xf2 Programming bank 1 word 0x000000fc to 0x000000f2... Warning: Programming fuses is an irreversible operation! This may brick your system. Use this command only if you are sure of what you are doing! Really perform this fuse programming? <y/N> y
