July 2022 focused on delivering foundational security services for STM32MP2 within the trusted-firmware-a repository. Key work introduced STM32MP2 SMC runtime services (a common service call handler with header definitions) and a runtime service to configure STGEN frequency, enabling secure world components to set the system counter frequency. These changes enhance isolation and configurability for secure firmware, aligning with platform hardening goals and reducing integration effort for secure features.
