meta-bgn-essa

BG Network's Embedded Security Software Architecture (ESSA), a collection of scripts, recipes, configurations, and documentation for Linux, enhances cybersecurity for IoT devices, including secure boot, encryption, authentication, and secure software updates. The ESSA enables engineers to extend a hardware root of trust to secure U-Boot, the Linux kernel, and applications in the root file system.

This repository is based on WinSystems/c444-manifest (5.4.24 release) and enables Mender OTA and NXP's HAB features on WINSYSTEM's ITX-P-C444 hardware.
