  We're aiming to push things in the other direction with OpenTitan: https://github.com/lowRISC/opentitan/

  It's an Open Silicon root of trust, all RTL (the actual hardware design in SystemVerilog), firmware, documentation and verification environment is open source and in the repository I just linked.

  We're closing in on our first discrete chip (details here https://opensource.googleblog.com/2023/06/opentitan-rtl-free... and https://lowrisc.org/blog/2023/06/opentitans-rtl-freeze-lever...) and have lots more in the pipeline (our project director Dom Rizzo gave a keynote at the Barcelona RISC-V Europe summit recently with some details, sadly not available on video yet).

  The hope is this will be a real proof point of the value of open source in hardware and, if as successful as we like it to be, can push the industry from a closed by default to people having to justify why they're not using open technology.

• Looking to work in Open Source Silicon and RISC-V? lowRISC is hiring DV and infrastructure engineers

  Our major project focus is OpenTitan: https://github.com/lowRISC/opentitan it’s a silicon root of trust being built and funded by a collaboration of major companies, such as Google, Western Digital, Seagate, Winbond and Rivos amongst others. lowRISC stewards the project as well as performing a significant proportion of the engineering work.

• Towards a More Open Secure Element Chip

  Interesting to see more potential entrants into this space. I work on OpenTitan https://opentitan.org/ which I believe will do much (indeed maybe everything) of what Cramium and Bunnie are aiming for (of course being a stealth startup hard to know what their plans actually are). We're at an advanced stage of development and being open you can take a look at our work right now https://github.com/lowRISC/OpenTitan our nightly regression dashboards demonstrate the project's maturity https://reports.opentitan.org/hw/top_earlgrey/dv/latest/repo... and https://reports.opentitan.org/hw/top_earlgrey/dv/summary/lat...

• Phoronix: "AMD, Google, Microsoft & NVIDIA Announce "Caliptra" Open-Source Root of Trust"
  1 project | /r/hardware | 21 Oct 2022

  Um hello? Google already has an open source hardware root of trust, called OpenTitan. Why didn't they just use that?

• Google, Western Digital, Seagate quietly an open source root of trust

• Making open source hardware design a reality
  3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 23 Apr 2022

  Whilst open source hardware work goes back a fair way, I feel we're really at a turning point where it can become a serious force within the hardware world (think late 80s/early 90s in software terms, Linux and GCC emerging and beginning to find their feet). There's lots of interesting developments in tooling plus significant open hardware projects on-going.

  I shall take the opportunity to plug OpenTitan: https://github.com/lowRISC/opentitan

  It's an open source root of trust being developed collaboratively by multiple companies such as lowRISC (who I work for), Google, Western Digital and Seagate amongst others. We've been rather quiet on the PR front but there's a lot of engineering work happening and other exciting things we can't yet make public.

  Whilst there's some things we have to keep closed (generally relating to ASIC design kits and things like Flash and memory IP) the vast majority of the RTL, documentation and software is open. Plus we're doing development in the open, the public repo is our live development repo. We're not developing it in private then just opening the end product.

• How good is Verilator for big industry designs?
  1 project | /r/FPGA | 21 Dec 2021

  We use Verilator to do full system simulations of OpenTitan (https://github.com/lowRISC/opentitan) but couple that with a full DV environment using standard commercial simulators with UVM. The Verilator environment is used to run self checking system tests written in C.
