DinBox RTU Q7

DinBox RTU Q7

LTE Cat.1 / GPRS RTU. State of the Art RTU for SCADA applications (IEC 60870-5-104/Modbus - TCP or RTU - mapping). The DinBox RTU Q7 uses IEC 60870-5-104 to communicate as a slave with the SCADA system (master). Other protocols such as MQTT, Modbus are also implemented. The DinBox can be extended by remote I/O through Modbus TCP and/or Modbus RTU. Thanks to the Modbus master implementation and the modbus-to-IEC104 slave mapping, the DinBox RTU Q7 can be used as a gateway to connect other Modbus slave IEDs.The DinBox RTU Q7 can be mass managed by a DeMas (Data Management Software) back office tool or can be managed separately (Q1 2023). An internal I/O extension option allows to add I/O directly to the DinBox RTU Q7. The DB RTU Q7 comprises an embedded system based on container technology allowing new SW applications to be integrated. It also contains application SW including e.g. (SCADA) communication protocols, libraries, and lifecycle management logic as well as a bootloader and tools for development, debugging and deployment.

  • Security:
    Dual Boot for fallback on Firmware update failure
    The Firmware is a FIT Image and hashed using SHA-256, encrypted using AES-256-CBC and signed with a X.509 Cert, using a 4096 bit RSA key. The cert check and decryption is done by U-Boot, which has the needed AES and Cert Info embedded. U-Boot is on the internal EMMC, so there is no way to easily extract it. Without a proper HAB4 signature you cannot boot another Bootloader from Micro-SD . The FIT Image further has a HAB4 signature, which is tested by the CPU (HAB4 is unknown, closed source by NXP).
    The NXP i.MX6 CPU features the HAB4 secure boot. The Cert is programmed into OTP (one time programmable) fuses and then the CPU is closed to boot only Bootloaders signed with the correct Cert.
    The fuse burning process is irreversible. On Reset the CPU starts its Bootloader in ROM and loads/verifies the Bootloader U-Boot. U-Boot loads/verifies the Firmware, which is a signed, hashed and encrypted FIT image.
