Woo hoo! just in time: tape & reel packaged Dabao for #39c3. They will be at the #fail0verflow assembly with @bunnie.org .
Also come see our talk on Day 2 23:00 in Room 1: "Xous: A Pure-Rust Rethink of the Embedded Operating System", where bunnie & xobs will co-present on Xous running on Baochip!

The basic dev board is in! Meet the "Dabao", a simple breakout board for the Baochip-1x.
If you're interested in one and will be at #39C3, come find @bunnie.org at the fail0verflow assembly. He'll have a limited number of Alpha-1 release boards to give away!

It's nice to be able to simulate your constant-time code and prove to yourself that you got it right.
Pictured is a simulation of AES chaffing, where fake and real data are computed in a random order. The timing of fake->real and real->fake has to be identical in order to mask power side channels.

Backside IR image of the chip!
The Baochip-1x is packaged specifically to enable you to verify that you've got the correct chip, and not a fake or a substitute part (see bunnie.org/iris for how).
The final chip will have part numbering that overlaps the memory array on the lower third of the chip.

A killer app for SoC source code is debugging your code with RTL simulation. Simulation gets you cycle-accurate views into what's happening throughout the system - the program counter, registers, state machines.
