lowRISC C.I.C. announced a formal collaboration with Microsoft to help bring its CHERIoT-Ibex design to production grade, leveraging lowRISC's comprehensive open-source silicon development methodology, the Silicon Commons. Microsoft's CHERIoT design integrates CHERIoT's fine-grained hardware memory security technology within lowRISC's popular RISC-V microcontroller core Ibex®?. By working together to create a comprehensive design verification (DV) suite for this IP, the collaboration between Microsoft and lowRISC announced will allow companies to confidently deploy the core in commercial products.
