Abstract
An integrated circuit device includes a storage circuit for storing a canceled value of a key identifier that is associated with a debug key used to sign debugging firmware. A security controller circuit is configurable to reactivate the key identifier to permit the debugging firmware to be loaded to the integrated circuit device to perform debugging functions by changing the canceled value of the key identifier stored in the first storage circuit to a reactivated value.
