Hi,

Linaro is conducting an opportunity assessment to make OP-TEE ready for
functional safety sensitive environments. The goal is to present a plan to
Linaro members by the end of July 2021.

The scope of the research is somewhat bigger because we can’t think of
OP-TEE without thinking of Trusted Firmware and Hafnium. The plan will
though not address those (unless we recognize we have to). We don’t think
U-Boot shall be part of the picture but we are welcoming contradictory
points of views.

We are organizing a 2 hours workshop on April 15th 9am CET to mostly hear
about use cases and ideas about Long Term Support requirements . We will
present the state of the research.

The first  use case is booting a safety certified type-1 hypervisor (open
source or commercial is irrelevant).

But we know there are many more: please be ready to contribute.

We think of more radical use cases: a safety payload is actually loaded as
a Secure Partition on top of Hafnium with OP-TEE or Zephyr used as a device
backends. In other words, Trust Zone hosts both safety and security worlds
, EL3 being the « software root of trust » pivot world. In those cases,
some cores never go out of secure state…
