Big milestone for the #OpenTitan hardware root of trust project: the open-silicon design is now shipping in commercial Chromebooks, on-shelves now thanks to a silicon implementation by Nuvoton.

OpenTitan, the Open Source Hardware Root-of-Trust, is Shipping Now in Commercial Chromebooks

Google announces that Nuvoton is the first company to put OpenTitan into silicon shipping in a commercial product.

Andrew "buinnie" Huang's Dabao, which I wrote about back in January, is now crowdfunding: under $10 (plus shipping, admittedly) for a microcontroller board built around the Baochip-1x - a #RISCV part with "mostly open RTL," and packaged in a way you can peer beneath the silicon's surface with an infrared torch and a modified inspection camera.

Andrew "bunnie" Huang Opens Crowdfunding for the Radically Open Dabao Baochip-1x Dev Board

Board promises RTL and Verilog sources all the way through to a chip you can peel back with an infrared lamp and an inspection camera.

And finally, for now, some news from lowRISC and the CHERI Alliance: the launch of the COSMIC Project, "CHERI for Operational Safety in Memory-Isolated Cores" - an open-source secure enclave for systems-on-chips, built atop the OpenTitan project and implementing the Capability Hardware Enhanced RISC Instructions.

It'll be "commercial quality," they say - and OpenTitan's already shipping in Google's Chromebooks.

The COSMIC Project Aims to Deliver a CHERI-Powered Open Source Secure Enclave for SoCs

Building on the OpenTItan project, COSMIC looks to provide chip designers with a ready-to-run hardware-protected secure enclave by 2028.

🌐 When open silicon meets radio waves: Two Tiny Tapeout chips + cosmic serendipity = DIY Software-Defined Radio. An ADC meets RF mixer in silicon matrimony, birthing a quantum-punk rebellion against closed hardware. Democracy hits the airwaves at $100/chip 📡🧪 #OpenSilicon https://www.hackster.io/news/sylvain-munaut-combines-two-tiny-tapeout-projects-to-create-an-open-silicon-software-defined-radio-0bc2981b3ff3
Sylvain Munaut Combines Two Tiny Tapeout Projects to Create an Open-Silicon Software-Defined Radio

While the resulting SDR won't be winning any awards for performance or features, it's a great example of Tiny Tapeout's flexibility.

TT03p5 Development Kit + VGA PMOD

This limited edition, special pack consists of the TT3.5 chip, demo board and VGA clock PMOD. For every purchase made we will donate $100 to the Open Source Hardware Association (OSHWA) https://www.oshwa.org/ The TT3.5 ASIC was our trial run of the multiplexer architecture and as well as the clock, contains other designs you can also experiment with.

Dear colleagues from @GoIT, please take a look at scarv project
https://www.scarv.org/
Very, very interesting

one critical point in fostering openness is on...doing things. In the coming months we are proposing several actions in the shape of workshops. The goal: discussing the pros and cons, the road ahead in open hardware and open silicon. The context: GoIT
