TI will integrate ARM's TrustZone technology on its OMAP platform for wireless devices and in TCS chipsets by using the ARM1176JZF-STM core. TrustZone currently supports such mobile-device operating systems as Linux, Palm Symbian and Windows CE. It is integrated within the microprocessor core and extended into the system design, enabling on-chip memory protection."<br /><br />I wonder if Intel will work with ARM to put this into the ARM based X-Scale processors, or if they have a similar hardware solution in the works? In any event, this is good news but still two years away.
