Platforms
EnSilica
EnSilica develops semiconductor IP and custom silicon, including the CHERI-enabled EnSura secure microcontroller platform.
Current CHERI position
EnSilica is a semiconductor design and IP services company. In March 2026 it described its EnSura secure microcontroller platform as using a CHERI-enabled RISC-V architecture with post-quantum cryptography support, and joined the UK CHERI Adoption Collective as a semiconductor supply-chain participant.
What the supplier offers
EnSilica’s relevant route is product and programme engineering: processor integration, custom SoC design, verification and secure-platform development. The exact deliverable and maturity must be established for the intended programme.
What to verify
1. Architecture
Confirm the processor core, CHERI architecture revision, privilege model, safety targets and post-quantum cryptography configuration.
2. Deliverable
Establish whether the offer is licensable IP, a platform, custom silicon, a development kit or an engineering service, and request its current maturity and availability.
3. Engagement
Define ownership, licensing, toolchain access, software support, assurance evidence, maintenance and handover in the statement of work.
Current sources
Public announcements show active CHERI work, but they do not by themselves establish production availability or suitability for a specific product. Verify those points directly with EnSilica.
Verify availability, maturity, specifications, software support and lifecycle terms with the current platform owner before procurement.
