The embedded and mobile computing market with its wide range of innovations is expected to remain growing in the foreseeable future. Recent developments in the embedded computing technology offer more performance thereby facilitating applications of unprecedented utility. Open systems, such as Linux, provide access to a huge software base. Nevertheless, these systems have to coexist with critical device infrastructure that insists on stringent timing and security properties. In this paper, we

The architecture aims to support current and future requirements of embedded computing systems, such as running versatile third-party applications on general purpose and open operating systems side by side with security sensitive programs.
