The Capability Hardware Extension to RISC‑V for Internet of Things (CHERIoT) project provides a hardware platform built around a modified RISC‑V Ibex core, designed for enhanced security through limited access of executed applications to individual components of the system. Developed by a group of commercial and university partners, it implements CHERI (Capability Hardware Enhanced RISC Instructions) for the RISC‑V ISA. Read more

When developing complex FPGA designs and custom SoCs, simulating and testing HDL designs in a larger context is necessary to accurately replicate real use cases. For fast iteration, you can combine cycle-accurate RTL simulation of elements of your design undergoing most heavy modifications with functional simulation using Antmicro's Renode framework for "best of both worlds" in terms of performance vs. accuracy.
