Sorry, this is intellectual property from my company so I can't share
source code but we have started from the FreeRTOS porting sample
related to our architecture. We are working on a ARM Cortex-A7 which
have an isolation between a normal world and a secure world. Linux is
working on the normal world for the UI and FreeRTOS is running on the
secure world. Communication between the two worlds is made by SMC.
