STM32 (STM32H5) TAMP Register

The STM32H5 TAMP (Tamper and Backup Registers) peripheral is a hardware security and data-retention block. It is designed to detect physical or electronic intrusions and automatically erase sensitive device secrets to prevent attacks, while also managing backup registers that survive power loss.

Key TAMP Features

Tamper Detection: Supports multiple internal and external tamper sources (like active/passive detection) to catch intrusions.
Backup Registers: 32 32-bit registers (TAMP_BKP0R to TAMP_BKP31R) designed to retain critical data when the main $V_{DD}$ supply is off.
Boot Hardware Keys: The first 8 backup registers (TAMP_BKP0R – TAMP_BKP7R) can store secure AES boot hardware keys.
Secrets Erasure: Capable of triggering immediate hardware erasure of device secrets, backup SRAM, and backup registers.

VS Code Clean Configurations

By VS Code has some poor default configurations, lets undo some of those sins.

Access Settings to begin: Ctrl + ,

Don't Restore Windows on Next Launch

Always start VS Code with a fresh slate. Don't restore previously opened tabs or projects.

Alternative Approach

As an alternative approach, you can create your own custom LogService and wire-in class lookups etc.

The following snippet was created for a Prism.Avalonia application using NLog v5. It is long and adds overhead that must be maintained.
