About
Bedrock security, performance, and form factor allow for broad applicability for securing commercial circuit cards and U.S. government weapon systems. The Bedrock ASIC has two primary use cases: Root of Security, where it operates as a Root of Security that can securely boot and extend security to an Intel x86 device, and General Purpose Embedded Secure Processor, equipped with secure boot, environmental sensors, hardware-based cryptography along with an embedded-class, 64-bit, quad-core, RISC-V processor. This dual-issue, multi-core system can support popular embedded operating systems like Linux, VxWorks, and FreeRTOS. Bedrock is suitable for directly processing critical program information and classified data in support of size, weight, and power (SWAP) constrained weapons systems. It also contains two eFPGA fabrics for custom designs and security IP integration.
