Hello,
I just was made aware of a crowd-funding campaign for an open hardware platform called USB Armory, which would provide an intriguing playground for Genode:
https://www.crowdsupply.com/inverse-path/usb-armory
In short, USB Armory is an i.MX53-based computer in the form factor of a USB stick. It is meant for security applications such as VPNs, authentication tokens, and encrypted storage. It is based on the FreeScale i.MX53 SoC, which it is well supported by Genode, i.e., Genode can be used as secure-world OS besides Linux running in the normal world.
Personally, I find the project interesting because it strives to be an 100% open platform, which includes hardware, software, and firmware. Hence, at Genode Labs, we already started investigating possible Genode-based applications for it.
As of now, the campaign has reached about 55% of the funding goal. If you are interested in such a platform, please consider joining in to make it happen.
Cheers Norman
We came across it a while ago and in fact negotiated with them to change the processor to i.MX6. But they preferred to stick to i.MX53. But I figured we could still use it. waiting for its release to order it.
For i.MX6 what we done instead is to get a tablet vendor to create a custom version of an dual core i.MX6 tablet with HAB enabled and with tamper detect. Just placed the proto order today. Ready version I think will be sold by the vendor for about 300 USD. We hope to have a virtualized android on top of genode for it.
But the USB armory is ideal for security key or gateway type apps. We plan to use both.
