  "account": "Andrew Bunnie Huang has recently launched Baochip, an open and trustworthy hardware project. This System on Chip (SoC) features an MMU, hardware security support, and a TRNG, AES encryption, and cryptographic hashes. It is designed to be inspected using IR cameras and can run Xous, a microkernel OS written in Rust. Bunnie's Baochip1x was recently delivered by Crowd Supply, and the author successfully connected it to a Linux PC using a virtual serial console. The REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) presents a blank terminal without a prompt, and the author successfully entered and received a reply, making this their first interaction with a RISC-V architecture.",
