| 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: |

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