CHERI documentation is distributed across architecture specifications, programming guides, operating-system manuals, platform instructions and project repositories.
What you’ll find
CHERI documentation is distributed across architecture specifications, programming guides, operating-system manuals, platform instructions and project repositories. Begin with the document owned by the component and release you are using.
Choose the right route
1. Identify
Record the platform, architecture, ABI, operating system, toolchain and task before selecting a guide.
2. Match
Use documentation that names the same release or revision and follow its prerequisites in order.
3. Validate
Check the last-updated date, issue tracker and release notes when instructions or behaviour differ.
How to use this page
A curated route prevents readers from combining instructions for different architectures, ABIs or software versions.
Check before relying on an item
Research documentation can describe work in progress. A useful page should state the target and status rather than presenting every document as current guidance.
Check publisher, date, version, scope and status. Follow summaries to the primary specification, artefact, data or project record.
