Thales RISC-V security contest

[Kevin Eyssartier]

Hello everyone and thank you for your interest in this contest.

We are happy to see this much contestants especially with the amount of work expected from such a challenge. Very smart solutions were proposed.

The implementation of such a contest was a first for us, so we carefully read your remarks.

• Indeed, the setting of the environment is not easy. But it was impossible to provide a docker image without an agreement for the proprietary software. However, we could have scripted the installation <process a bit better.
• We chose to go to a zephyr solution because we wanted to be as close as possible of a real IoT project from a software developer perspective.
• The software loading and debugging is always a problem with such project. There is no universal JTAG solution to fit every design. If you have idea how to address that, we would be very glad to have inputs from you.
