# The Mission
-- to give mass volume appliance manufacturers an alternative to expensive
- un-auditable chips.
-- to maximize the degree of trust a customer (business or user) can place in
- their processor.
- to provide a libre, secure and transparently developed hybrid CPU VPU
GPU architecture to the world.
-- to provide businesses and users worldwide with an alternative to
- current proprietary opaque chipsets and drivers.
+- to maximize the degree of trust a customer or user can place in
+ products using our processor designs.
+- through significantly reduced product development costs and time to
+ market, incentivise mass volume appliance manufacturers to ensure
+ that end-users of their products enjoy the same level of access to
+ full Board Support Package source code and Reference Designs that
+ they have, including for the processor hardware design.
+- to disincentivise Tivoisation, the deployment of DRM and other lockout
+ techniques that interfere with end-user trust in the products that
+ they legitimately own.
To accomplish this we:
# The Means:
- provide the customer the **freedom to study, modify, and redistribute**
- the full SoC source from HDL and boot loader to down to the VLSI.
+ the full SoC source, from HDL, through BIOS, boot loader, to drivers and OS.
- engage in **full transparency** at every level of the development,
right from the inception through to delivery of silicon. no exceptions.
- listen to **constructive input** from world-leading industry experts,
- CV capable flight controller for lightweight drones
- whatever you want
-# The Machines:
+# The Products:
-- our first target (Oct 2020): a single-core dual-issue 180nm 64-bit
+- our first target (Dec 2020): a single-core dual-issue 180nm 64-bit
"demo" QFP chip that will also be a saleable product in the "Embedded"
space (Arduino, STM32F, Ingenic jz4720).
- a full quad core SoC: 800mhz, dual issue, 4-wide FP32, Hybrid CPU /
