ABOUT CODASIP

Codasip is a hardware design company specializing in empowering developers to create unique processors for the Internet of Things (IoT) and beyond. Founded in 2014, they focus on RISC-V technology, an open-source instruction set architecture. CHERI is a security boost for RISC-V processors. It uses special "capabilities" to tightly control memory access, preventing common attacks.

Codasip first brought CHERI to market, offering processors with built-in security and compatibility with existing code. This combo makes RISC-V systems much more secure.
