| 2 | =========== |
| 3 | Arm SystemReady is a compliance certification programme that aims to promote a standardized |
| 4 | view of a platform and its firmware (see: `Arm SystemReady`_). SystemReady may be applied across |
| 5 | different classes of device, represented by different SystemReady bands, from resource constrained |
| 6 | IoT devices through to servers. By standardizing the platform and its firmware, generic operating |
| 7 | systems can be expected to 'just work' on any compliant device. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | SystemReady leverages existing open standards such as UEFI. The Trusted Services project |
| 10 | includes service level components that enable UEFI SMM services to be realized, backed by PSA |
| 11 | root-of-trust services. As an alternative to EDK2 StMM, the smm-gateway deployment presents |
| 12 | UEFI compliant SMM service endpoints, backed by the generic Secure Storage and Crypto services. |

| 18 | The UEFI features supported by smm-gateway are designed to meet SystemReady requirements for |
| 19 | the IR band (embedded IoT). |
