MIPS announced today that have teamed up with SELTECH to port a fully featured hypervisor to its MIPS M-class microcontrollers.
SELTECH is a Japanese company that are well-known for creating hypervisors for NVIDIA Tegra and other high performance platforms.
SELTECH has now ported its new FEXEROX hypervisor to MIPS M5150, the world’s first microcontroller-class CPU to incorporate hardware virtualization. This accomplishment creates the framework for next generation security solutions based on the TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) concepts defined by GlobalPlatform.
This technology provides virtualized-based security can be deployed to next-generation IoT applications. For example, wearable devices can run multiple applications securely (DRM for multimedia streaming, e-health data collection, in-app billing etc.) while automotive electronics can be better equipped to handle malicious attacks.
