The #Pegasus affair shows that complex systems have backdoors that can be turned against everyone by malicious interests. This could affect hardware too.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jul/20/pegasus-project-sparks-clamour-for-investigations-into-use-of-nso-spywareThe general discussion should nevertheless not drift away from the question about the (il-)legitimacy of such companies/governmentactions.

On October 21 2021 we have submitted a proposal for the following European call:https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/topic-details/horizon-cl4-2021-digital-emerging-01-05The call was for a "Coordination and Support Action (CSA)".We feel that sufficiently new ideas have been generated while writing the proposal for justifying the publication of the manuscript:https://wiki.f-si.org/index.php/Horizon_2021_Coordination_and_Support_Action_(CSA)_proposal The publication will further increase the transparency of the selection process. If you have any comment or criticism please answer to this toot.

A RISC-V chip with with secret RTL (not to mention the layout) does not qualify as open-hardware. Otherwise MS Word would be open-source software just because it implements the Open Document Format (ODF).#openHardware #Chips #IntegratedCircuits #semiconductor #silicon #GoIT
