Towards Secure MicroPython on Morello - Work in Progress

Explore a work-in-progress report on porting MicroPython to the Arm Morello platform, a prototype system supporting hardware capabilities for enhanced runtime security. Delve into the minimal modifications required to compile MicroPython's C source code for Morello, resulting in a functional but not necessarily more secure version. Gain insights into the potential use of capabilities to improve runtime system security for both the MicroPython environment and hosted applications. Understand the implications of bringing architectural capabilities to embedded scale devices and their impact on lightweight runtime execution environments like MicroPython.
