“A huge number of security vulnerabilities can be mitigated by enforcing memory safety. In tandem to writing new code in memory safe languages, CHERI technologies can be used in hardware to enforce memory safety in existing codebases written in unsafe languages such as C and C++. Sonata provides a development platform designed to bring CHERI technology into the hands of embedded systems engineers, for them to easily explore using it in their applications. The Sonata platform consists of an open source and low cost FPGA development board as well as a user-friendly open source reference SoC design and demo applications. The platform builds on the work of the CHERIoT project originally developed by Microsoft, and is being worked on in the open so that stakeholders can follow and influence it’s development. The Sunburst / CHERIoT Hardware Enablement Project has been funded by DSbD / UKRI – Grant Number: 107540 https://www.sunburst-project.org/”
The FOSSi Foundation is proud to announce Latch-Up, a conference dedicated to free and open source silicon.
Latch-Up: a weekend of presentations and networking for the open source silicon community, much like its European sister conference ORConf.
