Linux board from Arrow Electronics secures IoT edge applications
The Linux platform Shield96 board is supplied by Arrow Electronics equipped with Sequitur Labs’ EmSpark Security Suite for security protection in IoT edge devices.
The board includes a Microchip SAMA5D2 processor system-in-package (SiP) that contains an Arm Cortex-A5 microprocessor and 1Gbit DDR2 RAM. As a result, the Shield96 leverages hardware-based security including TrustZone architecture, tamper detection, secure data storage, secure boot, and cryptographic accelerators.
EmSpark Security Suite provides a robust security framework protecting embedded firmware, keys and security-critical assets through the entire device lifecycle, says Arrow. It works with the native hardware security features, provides tools for secure device provisioning, and application programming interfaces (APIs) to access services such as secure storage, firmware update and payload verification.
The integration of the security suite can reduce time to market by at least six months. The board is suitable for proof-of-concept, development and testing and connects users with Arrow services such as hardware/software and application development, scalable cloud or self-hosted analytics and dashboard development, and provisioning services to help create customised production-ready systems.
