Caspia Technologies' CODAx Linter Uncovers Security Flaws in OpenRISC CPU
Caspia Technologies has announced the impact of its CODAx AI-assisted security linter, which identified 16 security vulnerabilities in a popular OpenRISC CPU core, according to a press release. This open-source core is widely used in various embedded applications, including telecommunications and automotive industries.
CODAx employs over 150 security rules to conduct comprehensive static checks on design RTL, flagging code that could lead to security vulnerabilities. The tool's effectiveness was demonstrated by its ability to detect six control path and ten data-path security directive violations, compared to only two identified by the industry's golden reference linter. The analysis of approximately 32,000 lines of code was completed in under 60 seconds.
Caspia Technologies is engaging with leading semiconductor technology suppliers to showcase CODAx's capabilities and enhance security in development flows. Additionally, the company has launched a program allowing users to test CODAx on open-source designs for free, aiming to improve security testing efficiency and reduce costs.
