X-Wall MX+ Dev Board Quick Guide Rev 1.1 10102015 

Overview 

The X-Wall MX+ Development Board has been categorized into several functional 

blocks from A to J with each representing different or combined functions. Detailed 

descriptions over various functional blocks are provided in Table one below. It’s 

important that you read through the table descriptions prior to any operation of your 

MX+ Development Board. 

   

 

 

 

 

This 

X-Wall MX+

 development board facilitates engineering design effort integrating 

the 

X-Wall MX+

 SATA real-time cryptographic module capable of performing up to 

6Gb/sec cryptographic output in AES CBC/CBC with Tweaks/XTS/ECB mode of 

operation with 256-bit strength. The primary objective of using the 

X-Wall MX+

 is to 

encrypt (Full Disk Encryption, or SED) entire connected SATA storage drive regardless 

of its geometry. 

 

In addition to the Full Disk Encryption (FDE) function, with the addition of TCG OPAL 

2.0

1

  and IEEE1667 firmware, the 

MX+

 solution can convert any standard SATA disk 

                                                 

1

  TCG OPAL2.0 is a sophisticated multi-tier authentication protocol capable of defining specific user’s 

READ/WRITE access privilege over a specified range of a logical drive. Note that a logical drive may 

contain up to a total of 8 user ranges, in addition to the Global range, with each range taking up 

specified LBA starting and ending address.
