System, devices and/or processes for assignment, configuration and/or management of one or more hardware components of a computing device

An apparatus, comprising:

• at least one processor to:
• transition a particular interface of a particular hardware component to an active state responsive at least in part to a determination, at least in part via execution of a particular second level software component, that the particular interface of the particular hardware component has been configured by an additional software component in accordance with the one or more parameters specified by the particular second level software component, wherein the additional second level software component to operate in a non-secure security state;
• and
• at least in part via execution of the particular second level software component, grant permission for a particular first level software component to access the particular interface of the particular hardware component.

An article, comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon one or more instructions executable by a computing device to:
• transition a particular interface of a particular hardware component to an active state responsive at least in part to a determination, at least in part via execution of a particular second level software component to operate in a non-secure security state, a secure security state or a realm security state, that the particular interface of the particular hardware component has been configured by an additional second level software component in accordance with the one or more parameters specified by the secure second level software component, wherein the additional second level software component to operate in the non-secure security state;
• and
• at least in part via execution of the particular second level software component, grant permission for a particular first level software component to access the particular interface of the particular hardware component, wherein the particular first level software component to operate in the same security state as the particular second level software component.
