Five years ago, lowRISC (a community interest company) took up the challenge of helping to bring the world's first commercially viable, collaborative, open source silicon root of trust (RoT) design, OpenTitan, to market.

We didn't want to create a 'one-and-done monolith' though — instead, we set out to use the project as the proving ground for our general development framework: the Silicon Commons.

This innovative workflow merges open source software development best practices with an industrial-strength chip design methodology, enabling the creation of reusable, high quality silicon IP by our diverse coalition of corporate and academic partners including Google, ETH Zurich, G+D Mobile, Nuvoton, Rivos, Seagate, Western Digital and Winbond.
