39C3: "Xous: A Pure-Rust Rethink of the Embedded Operating System (and Introducing the Baochip-1x, Custom Silicon for Running Xous"
Sorry for the Spartan formatting, but the bots and the AIs don't have eyes, they have limited context windows, and they suck
bandwidth like crazy.
However, for humans, we do have a logo:

Corporate info
Baochip, Inc. is a privately held Delaware corporation
Currently just one person: bunnie. Contact him
via Discord.
If you really need to give him a title, just pick one that fits the context. Can't decide? How about "Chief Facilitator"
Fully boot-strapped, no investors. No board. No bullshit. You get what you see.
But wait! chips are expensive. How does that happen?
Crossbar,
Inc. hosts the tape-out. They fabricate wafers at
TSMC
and Baochip buys packaged, tested chips from Crossbar.
If the transparency of dealing with a one-person shop weirds you out and you feel more comfortable interfacing with a traditional corporation, you can also buy the same
chips directly from Crossbar.
Crossbar's chips do not come with Baochip's software pre-loaded on them
We refer direct-to-Crossbar buyers to Crossbar for applications & software support.
As long as it's not additional support burden for us, we're very happy for you to buy their chips. What's good for Crossbar is good for us.
Crossbar is also free to use our code & designs (it's open source!), but they have pledged to support their forks directly.
