Let's make RISC-V connected systems synonymous with security
If you are designing systems based on a RISC-V architecture, for example to run highly connected applications, you want to include tight, future-proof security. Both for your customers’ experience and your reputation, you want to avoid a breach of security – leaking private data or even changing the functionality. Therefore, security should be part of the fabric of your system.- Quantum Tunneling Mechanism in NeoFuse

Gathering Regression List for Structural Coverage Analysis
Structural coverage analysis is a method to ensure RBTs parse the code structure to verify every line of code for its correctness. RBTCA is used to determine the efficiency our tests verifying implementation of the software requirements. The intention is to check whether code and requirements are in sync.Articles for the Week of November 23, 2020
