3 > We believe a computer should be safe to use, and this starts with a
8 - to provide a libre, secure and transparently developed hybrid CPU VPU
9 GPU architecture to the world.
10 - to maximize the degree of trust a customer or user can place in
11 products using our processor designs.
12 - through significantly reduced product development costs and time to
13 market, incentivise mass volume appliance manufacturers to ensure
14 that end-users of their products enjoy the same level of access to
15 full Board Support Package source code and Reference Designs that
16 they have, including for the processor hardware design.
17 - to disincentivise Tivoisation, the deployment of DRM and other lockout
18 techniques that interfere with end-user trust in the products that
19 they legitimately own.
21 To accomplish this we:
23 - use collaborative techniques
24 - operate entirely transparently
25 - invite developers and experts around the world to contribute without NDAs
26 - invite inventors to contribute relevant patents to patent pools (OIN)
30 - provide the customer the **freedom to study, modify, and redistribute**
31 the full SoC source, from HDL, through BIOS, boot loader, to drivers and OS.
32 - engage in **full transparency** at every level of the development,
33 right from the inception through to delivery of silicon. no exceptions.
34 - listen to **constructive input** from world-leading industry experts,
35 engineers and enthusiasts alike, in real-time, without NDAs creating
36 artificial barriers to communication and hampering success.
44 - single-board computers (like the Raspberry Pi)
46 - CV capable flight controller for lightweight drones
51 - our first target (Dec 2020): a single-core dual-issue 180nm 64-bit
52 "demo" QFP chip that will also be a saleable product in the "Embedded"
53 space (Arduino, STM32F, Ingenic jz4720).
54 - a full quad core SoC: 800mhz, dual issue, 4-wide FP32, Hybrid CPU /
55 GPU / VPU [and later an ML inference core], comparable to the Allwinner
57 - Products based on customer - and client - driven needs and requirements
