Qualcomm fuse programmable read only memory (QFPROM) fuses store cryptographic keys that authenticate software images during the secure boot process. This ensures that only authorized software can run on the device. QFPROM uses a fusing mechanism to program registers by blowing fuses, thereby storing permanent data This is a one-time operation that can’t be undone. The following table captures the QFPROM fuse values and details for QCS5430, QCS6490, Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ-9075, Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ-9100, Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ-8275, Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ-8300, and Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ-615. Secure boot is enabled when the respective fuses are blown.
