AN14687: Ease CRA Compliance with MCX N
This application note explains how NXP MCX N microcontrollers help OEMs meet the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) security requirements through built-in hardware security features.
Overview
AN14687 provides guidance for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) on using NXP MCX N series microcontrollers to satisfy the requirements of the European Union's Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). The document details the CRA regulatory framework, including its enforcement timeline starting December 2027 and the classification system for Products with Digital Elements (PDEs). It maps specific MCX N security capabilities, such as the EdgeLock Secure Assurance program and hardware-level security primitives, to the Essential Cybersecurity Requirements (ECRs) listed in Annex I of the CRA. The note assists developers in leveraging NXP's secure manufacturing processes and device features to support conformity claims and mitigate cybersecurity risks in connected devices.
Use Cases
- EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance mapping for embedded products
- Implementing hardware-based security in industrial and consumer IoT devices
- Risk assessment and mitigation for OEM digital products
- Secure product development using MCX N microcontrollers
