Munich, Germany and Oxford, United Kingdom, Nov. 27, 2025 – 

Codasip® a leading provider of functional safety (ISO26262) and cybersecurity (ISO21434) RISC-V CPUs, and EnSilica®, a leading provider of mixed-signal and digital ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits), today announced a strategic licensing agreement of Codasip's CHERI-enabled (Capability Hardware Enhanced RISC Instructions) embedded CPU IP product from its proven 700 family of cores. EnSilica will integrate the CPU into its recently announced quantum-resilient commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) processor device. This chip will be generally available through standard distribution channels.

The new COTS device is designed for deployment at the cyber-physical boundary, where state-of-the-art security is paramount. For use in defence, industrial, automotive and aerospace markets, these systems must achieve the highest levels of resilience. CHERI provides a step-change in security by deterministically removing the memory-safety vulnerabilities that are all too common in networked devices and enabling performant fine-grained compartmentalisation of software.

Codasip as the leading supplier of commercial CHERI-RISC-V processors is a founding member of the CHERI Alliance. The company's engineers have been instrumental in defining the CHERI-RISC-V specification and creating a wide range of commercial embedded cores, receiving numerous awards for this work.

Dr Ron Black, CEO of Codasip, said: "Our strategic partnership with EnSilica is already gaining momentum as we work together to unlock the full potential of our leading-edge 32-bit and 64-bit CHERI-RISC-V CPUs. This first business partnership with EnSilica around our CHERI-RISC-V embedded processor marks an exciting milestone. CHERI is a game-changing technology and brings huge potential to work on further business opportunities in the future."

Ian Lankshear, CEO of EnSilica, added: "Partnering with Codasip allows us to bring commercial-grade CHERI-enabled security into our next-generation secure quantum-resilient microcontroller. This collaboration strengthens our ability to deliver functionally safe and cyber-resilient silicon for long-lifecycle applications that demand the highest levels of trust and assurance."
