USB Armory - an interesting platform for Genode

[Madhu (Macaque Labs)]

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.
