Can we build trustable hardware? I think it’s possible if we:
1) simplify the hardware
2) verify the entire system, not just chips
3) empower users to check and seal their devices
Our new Betrusted project embodies these principles, read more at: bunniestudios.com/blog/?p=5706 pic.twitter.com/OKyMxHDBUj

Honest question;
Is there a reason the "black blob" chip epoxy is black? I presume to prevent light exposure damage? But if the housing is light-proof, clear resin could be used and so allow visual inspection of the installed ICs on demand?

photoelectric interaction is a motivation for the black blob. the epoxy used often contains glass beads to make it tougher. however, if inspection is desired, in many cases a clear epoxy could be used.

> As we vetted each part for openness and documentation, it became clear that you can’t boot any modern computer without several closed-source firmware blobs running between power-on and the first instruction of your code.
This excludes @OpenPOWERorg / @RaptorCompSys gear.

There is so much in this post Bunnie that resonates and will be referenced for years to come.
"I’ve concluded that open hardware is precisely as trustworthy as closed hardware. Which is to say, I have no inherent reason to trust either at all"
