Will the closed chassis debugging require user authorization of some sort and perhaps only be effective in developer mode? One of the major concerns with the Intel SVT adapter is that it claims to work "where USB3-hosted DCI is unavailable", including cold-boot: https://designintools.intel.com/product_p/itpxdpsvt.htm There were talks about it at CCC and HITB: https://conference.hitb.org/hitbsecconf2017ams/materials/D2T4%20-%20Maxim%20Goryachy%20and%20Mark%20Ermalov%20-%20Intel%20DCI%20Secrets.pdf Hopefully the Chromebook CCD doesn't turn into an evil-maid toolkit... -- Trammell -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] https://mail.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
