Good to know, thanks!  Obviously, the lack of SMMU support will be a
blocker in many cases, but it is good to know that seL4 can be ported
to other boards without too much effort.  Are there plans to port
the verification to additional boards if there is demand and funding?

In the future, are there plans to automatically generate the relevant
code?  Just wondering.

Sincerely,

Demi
