Thanks for the R-Pi summary!

Some layers may be difficult to prove but that
should not make it impossible to do good work.

Something along the lines...
    If Given: uboot is trusted.
    If Given: USB IO is trusted to devices ...UVW, XYZ.

The value of accepting some "Givens" is that other levels of
work can move forward on a very inexpensive platform.

As a student platform the R-Pi is interesting because
the student has a worthy (sufficiently interesting) platform to
abuse for less than the price of a modern text book.   Pop out the memory
card reload it and start over.   The students laptop has not crashed.

There is an old adage that to work on a car at home you
need to have a second car available  to go and get parts.   With the
R-Pi spare flash memory cards and USB memory give
that spare vehicle to go and get parts....

Have fun.
