Description

The result of this effort will be a reproducible toolchain and functional build for a Talos II POWER9 system, with a focus on the boot firmware (later phases will provide build artifacts of other system firmware). The toolchain will incorporate theoretical techniques that provide guarantees to prevent compiler/linker compromise, so build output is a trustworthy representation of the source code it builds. In addition, a repeatable approach to verifying the in-band firmware update mechanism is trustworthy is developed, and evidence of results of the approach are provided.
