BSI has allocated a substantial sum of money (and a boatload of
mainboards) for this, but right now the problem is that I need to find
someone willing and able to maintain such a solution for us, and this
includes visiting the BSI premises (Bonn, Germany) if the problem is not
fixable remotely. The testing rig is offline right now since I lack the
time to take care of it.

If you know somebody willing and able to take on such a project, please
send an email to . Bonus points if
this is a solution used and maintained by someone else, i.e. the bus
factor should be greater than 1.
