LowRISC Tagged Memory Preview Release
Released on: May 13, 2015
LowRISC is pleased to announce a preview release of the Tagged Memory feature. This is a significant step towards making our chip more versatile and usable. The Tagged Memory functionality allows us to allocate different tags to various memory regions, enhancing security and planning during development.
Features
- Dynamic Memory Allocation: Allocation of memory with dynamic tags increases flexibility.
