  Where is the source code? What is 'Chisel'?

    Chisel is https://chisel.eecs.berkeley.edu/ https://chisel.eecs.berkeley.edu/

    Their github page is here (https://github.com/lowrisc https://github.com/lowrisc). For example, here's the code to the Rocket processor (https://github.com/lowRISC/rocket https://github.com/lowRISC/rocket), which is a fork from Berkeley's (https://github.com/ucb-bar/rocket https://github.com/ucb-bar/rocket).

  I was sad to hear about LowRISC getting attention and energy rather than efforts like cheri (https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/security/ctsrd/cheri/ https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/security/ctsrd/cheri/). I'm super excited to hear about tagged ram in LowRISC.

    Cheri influenced the design and existence of the tagged memory in lowrisc - it is pretty much why it is there, although there are some other potential uses too. Both projects are based in Cambridge.

  I'm rooting for this project. I have a product in mind for when hardware is available. I know it will be a while, but it will be worth it.
