Open Silicon: IRIS Demo and Dabao Board Pickup
About the event
CrossBar presents Open Silicon: IRIS Demo and Dabao Board Pickup at Devcon 8 in Mumbai on Thursday, November 5, 2026, from 11:00 to 16:00 IST. The open hardware clinic demonstrates non-destructive silicon inspection and open-source chip architectures.
What to expect
The five-hour interactive clinic provides a hands-on look at open-source silicon manufacturing and validation:
- Live demonstrations of Infra-Red In-Situ (IRIS) inspection of the Daric silicon chip, verifying internal chip layout and proving the absence of hardware trojans.
- Hardware distribution desk where pre-registered developers pick up their Dabao RISC-V open evaluation boards.
- Technical teardowns explaining how physical unclonable functions (PUFs) and secure enclaves are manufactured on open-source instruction sets.
- Direct Q&A with chip design engineers and hardware security auditors on creating trustless cryptographic silicon.
Who should attend
The session is open to hardware security engineers, embedded systems programmers, cryptographers, firmware developers, and anyone curious about open-source chip architectures.
Venue and schedule
The clinic takes place inside the Jio World Convention Centre, Impact Space, Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), Mumbai, on Thursday, November 5, running continuously from 11:00 to 16:00 IST.
Registration and admission
Attendance is free for Devcon 8 badge holders. Registration on Luma guarantees priority access to hardware demo stations and confirms board reservation slots.
