Over the last 2 years, Qualcomm and Linaro have been collaborating to enable support for open source and industry standard boot firmware for Qualcomms IoT & robotics platforms. This has led to the revival of Snapdragon support in U-Boot (now the most modern and generic platform in U-Boot) and most recently, support for TF-A and OP-TEE. In this presentation, Ameya and Caleb will explain the story behind this collaboration, what this means for Qualcomm’s IoT offerings, and dive into some of the juicy technical details that made it possible to provide TF-A and OP-TEE as a drop-in replacement for Qualcomm’s TrustZone. The goal of this effort is for Linux to integrate seamlessly with Qualcomm TrustZone and Open Source TEE (OP-TEE), allowing customers to switch between the two based on their usecase.
