Help¶

This option indicates that we are building a Zephyr image that is intended to execute in secure mode. The option is only applicable to ARC processors that implement the SecureShield.

This option enables Zephyr to include code that executes in secure mode, as well as to exclude code that is designed to execute only in normal mode.

Code executing in secure mode has access to both the secure and normal resources of the ARC processors.

Direct dependencies¶

ARC_HAS_SECURE && ARC

(Includes any dependencies from ifs and menus.)

Default¶
