I'll be presenting some of my latest work on Xous & Baochip with @Xobs at on Day two, 11PM room One:

Hope to see you there!

For more on Baochip, checkout bluesky: bsky.app/profile/baochip.com or read the source at github: github.com/baochip/baochip-1x

The TL;DR is that Baochip is a "mostly-open" RTL SoC in 22nm TSMC, purpose-built for Xous and expressly packaged for IRIS inspection. It packs in five RISC-V CPU cores (one Vexriscv CPU at 350MHz, and four PicoRV's at 700MHz), 2MiB on-chip SRAM and 4MiB on-chip RRAM (basically FLASH).

I'm aiming to have the chip broadly available by early 2026. Right now I have first silicon. You can follow development & ask questions on the Baochip discord at discord.gg/yesbcPF9Xy

Sorry, no website yet - I suck at marketing - but hey, at least the source code is up!
