SystemReady

Arm SystemReady is a compliance certification programme that aims to promote a standardized view of a platform and its firmware (see: Arm SystemReady). SystemReady may be applied across different classes of device, represented by different SystemReady bands, from resource constrained IoT devices through to servers. By standardizing the platform and its firmware, generic operating systems can be expected to ‘just work’ on any compliant device.

SystemReady leverages existing open standards such as UEFI. The Trusted Services project includes service level components that enable UEFI SMM services to be realized, backed by PSA root-of-trust services. As an alternative to EDK2 StMM, the smm-gateway deployment presents UEFI compliant SMM service endpoints, backed by the generic Secure Storage and Crypto services. For more information, see:

• Secure Partition Images

• UEFI SMM Services

The UEFI features supported by smm-gateway are designed to meet SystemReady requirements for the IR band (embedded IoT).
