Harsimran Singh Tungal developed secure firmware update (FWU) dispatch functionality for the Corstone-1000 platform within the zephyrproject-rtos/trusted-firmware-m repository. He enabled PSA FWU calls to be transmitted securely between Cortex-A and Cortex-M cores by leveraging the RSE-COMMS layer, introducing include directives and permission checks to enforce security throughout the update process. Working primarily in C and applying embedded systems and firmware development expertise, Harsimran established a robust foundation for cross-core firmware update workflows. His work addressed the need for secure, production-ready update mechanisms and ensured traceability, integration readiness, and future extensibility for platform-level firmware updates.

Month 2024-11: Delivered Secure Firmware Update (FWU) Dispatch across Cortex-A and Cortex-M on Corstone-1000 within trusted-firmware-m. This work enables distribution of PSA FWU related calls between cores via the RSE-COMMS layer, with necessary include directives and permission checks to support secure firmware updates on the hardware. The change lays the groundwork for secure, cross-core FWU workflows and reduces update risk for production deployments.
