Tegra X1 issues for NVIDIA

[malcolm]

The issue surrounds the Nintendo Switch console:

FAQ: Fusée Gelée

It's ROM-related so un-patchable.

Added info: I got 99 secure devices but a Nintendo Switch ain't one: If you're using Nvidia's Tegra boot ROM I feel bad for you, son

The vulnerability is said to affect Tegra chips prior to T186/X2, released in 2016, so it's not just the Nintendo Switch that's potentially vulnerable. Other gear using the affected chipset is also potentially at risk.

So seems to be X1-related only and not a problem for Drive PX2 or Xavier/Pegasus

Prior to 2016 I believe all teslas were running Tegra 3 chips, are they affected?

Yes
