Hello Thomas and all,

I get your points.
Thanks for the feedback and sorry I have not answered earlier.


I considered your "optee-os-custom-sdk" package proposal but OP-TEE
does not provide a specific package for building these specific OP-TEE
applications (TAs).
I don't think I will insist on requesting such external SDK config.

Best Regards,
Etienne
