Security for Arm Cortex-M devices with FreeRTOS
by Shebu Varghese Kuriakose on 17 Jul 2020
Securing microcontrollers is a challenge, hampered in part by lack of hardware enforced security domains. Creating two security domains typically requires two microprocessors each with a separate Memory Protection Unit (MPU). Arm TrustZone, introduced with the Armv8-M architecture, enables two security processing environments on a single Cortex-M processor (see Using FreeRTOS on Armv8-M Microcontrollers). Once […]
