Hello,
Based on the lack of feedback from Mbed TLS users, the Mbed TLS team has concluded that there is no interest for Greentea support in Mbed TLS unit tests at this time, so we will remove it from Mbed TLS 2.28 and Mbed TLS 3.1.
We intend to keep the basic structure of the unit test framework that makes it reasonably easy to support on-target testing (in particular, the fact that you don't have to store all the bulky test data on-device at the same time). There is currently no related work on our roadmap, but we are likely to respond favorably to requests for a new on-target testing interface.
Best regards,
