bunnie's security chip gets formal RISC-V verification from Harmonic Aristotle
satnam6502 · x · 2026-11-13
A neat in-person exchange: bunnie handed over his security chip (baochip.com, "join the infrared team" die photo card), and the author handed back a formal verification report generated with Harmonic's Aristotle.
The report is a proof of conformance with the SAIL formal specification of M-type RISC-V instructions, demonstrating instruction-level correctness of a real open-source security chip via formal methods. The verification report is publicly readable.
A concrete case of combining hardware security chips with AI-assisted formal verification.
