# First CHERIoT Silicon

**[Lobsters](https://daily.dev/sources/lobsters)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

SCI Semiconductor has produced the first silicon implementation of CHERIoT, called the ICENI chip. Previously, CHERIoT work was limited to software simulators and FPGA implementations. The ICENI chip is a complete CHERIoT system running the CHERIoT Ibex core at up to 250 MHz, featuring spatial memory safety, use-after-free protection, fine-grained compartmentalization, and deterministic interrupt handling. It is designed for production use in embedded RTOS environments. The chip will be showcased at Embedded World and the CHERI Blossoms conference.
