Discover how PHYTEC's production-ready System on Modules (SOMs)-powered by NXP's security-rich application processors — enable embedded systems to be secure by design. From boot to lifecycle management, this platform delivers robust protection rooted in hardware—meeting today's and tomorrow's cybersecurity demands.
As the number of connected devices rises, embedded system developers face mounting pressure to secure products against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. In response, PHYTEC and NXP have joined forces to deliver scalable, secure-by-default platforms that enable developers to build with confidence from the ground up.
Ready to build secure-by-default embedded systems? Explore PHYTEC's i.MX SOMs with NXP EdgeLock Security and start protecting your devices at the root.
At the heart of these secure platforms is NXP's EdgeLock® approach—a comprehensive security framework embedded at the silicon level. Whether it's through the Secure Enclave, discrete Secure Elements or cryptographic acceleration, NXP ensures data privacy, device integrity and lifecycle resilience. These capabilities power PHYTEC's SOMs , which are engineered to retain NXP's core security features and offer hardware root of trust, encrypted storage, secure updates and more.
PHYTEC's SOMs leverage NXP's secure boot technology to establish a robust chain of trust—from the bootloader to the OS and application layers. Only verified software is executed, protecting devices from malicious code and tampering.
With flexible security configurations—such as integrating trusted platform module (TPM) 2.0 or secure elements like NXP's SE051—on either the SOM or carrier board, PHYTEC gives developers the freedom to tailor their security posture based on application needs. Whether for industrial automation, healthcare or Internet of Things (IoT) gateways, these solutions are built to last.
Security doesn't end at deployment. PHYTEC's software lifecycle management (SLCM) and common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE) monitoring services provide ongoing vulnerability patching and update delivery. Combined with NXP's Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) and EdgeLock Assurance program, customers can meet stringent regulatory requirements like the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) with ease.
PHYTEC supports developers with Linux board support packages (BSPs) that integrate NXP's verified bootloader and kernel, along with reference implementations for secure boot, encrypted file systems, and over-the-air (OTA) updates via Robust Auto-Update Controllerr (RAUC). Optional tools like the securiPHY SOM bundle help accelerate secure development from day one.
Security is a foundational element—not an afterthought. With NXP's secure silicon and PHYTEC's production-ready platforms, developers can bring embedded systems to market faster while meeting the highest security standards.
