Intel® Quark™ SoC X1000 Secure Boot Programmer’s Reference Manual

Description

This document describes the Intel® Quark SoC X1000, the next generation secure, low-power Intel Architecture (IA) System on a Chip (SoC) for deeply embedded applications. The Intel® Quark SoC X1000 integrates the Intel® Quark Core plus all the required hardware components to run off-the-shelf operating systems and to leverage the vast x86 software ecosystem. This document describes also the Intel® Quark SoC X1000’s “secure boot” functionality, which are the mechanisms used to verify the authenticity and integrity of the software executing on the platform prior to that software being loaded and run.
