Hoang Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores chip design and security using RISC-V.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring RISC-V chips and security.
The Hoang Lab's main research areas are digital signal processing, computer architecture, cybersecurity, ultra-low-power circuits, and system-on-chip.
The professor's personal website, Thuctorial, publishes collections of RISC-V chips and instructions for building systems with a trusted execution environment (TEE).
The site is said to have been created for the author's own self-study and to help people who are just beginning to study computer science.
Key terms
- RISC-V
- One standard for an instruction set, the set of instructions that a processor executes
- TEE
- Trusted execution environment. A mechanism that runs programs in a protected state, isolated from other programs
- System-on-Chip
- A design that integrates the main circuits that make up a computer onto a single chip
ResearchResearch themes
The lab designs chips with cryptographic circuits and a trusted execution environment (TEE), built on RISC-V processors. The research page lists chip collections, system build procedures, and small examples of image processing and signal processing.
*Illustrative imageRISC-V chip collection
Chips built around RISC-V cores are organized by series. They include chips with cryptographic arithmetic circuits, random number generation circuits, and a small subsystem for secure boot.
*Illustrative imageBuilding systems with a TEE
The page presents TEE-HW, a system with various security features, and the steps to boot Linux on it. There are versions with a cryptographic accelerator and versions with an independent Root-of-Trust.
Keystone: TEE software
Using Keystone, a software framework for running TEEs on RISC-V, the page explains how to build a root file system for Linux with a TEE. It has sections on build methods and the Ethernet driver.
*Illustrative imageSiFive Freedom computer systems
The page explains how to build a computer system called Rocket-chip and boot Linux while verifying operation on a VC707 board. It also covers how to load programs and debug, and the structure of the Chisel code.
