Re: IoT Ain't There Without A VM.
"So, when will ARM ship M-family processors with VM hardware & instruction support? Is TrustZone fully equivalent?"
VM, crypto modules, hardware for secure boot etc. means more core bloat in the design which eats into the low-cost low-power part of the ARM sales advantage against other CPUs which already have these options but cost more and consume more power. You had most if not all of those facilities on the x86 CPU platform you were working on, if ARM want to match that capability for security purposes they're going to have to go head-to-head with existing products in terms of cost and power consumption.
