Caliptra consists of IP and firmware for an integrated Root of Trust block.
Caliptra targets datacenter-class SoCs like CPUs, GPUs, DPUs, TPUs. It is the specification, silicon logic, ROM and firmware for implementing a Root of Trust for Measurement (RTM) block inside an SoC. A Caliptra integration provides the SoC with Identity, Measured Boot and Attestation capabilities.
Caliptra is a project originally incepted at the Open Compute Project (OCP). The major revisions of the Caliptra specifications are published at OCP. The evolving source code and documentation for Caliptra live in this repository within the CHIPS Alliance Project, a Series of LF Projects, LLC.
The Caliptra WorkGroup Technical Charter sets out the charter governing the Caliptra project and its marks.
The Caliptra code base and documentation are split across five repositories:
| Repo | What | |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Repo | Issues PRs | This repo, with admin boilerplate and docs |
| Caliptra RTL | Issues PRs | The primary repository with immutable RTL |
| Caliptra SW | Issues PRs | Caliptra software (ROM, FMC, runtime firmware), and libraries/tools needed to build and test |
| Caliptra DPE | Issues PRs | An implementation of a TCG DICE Protection Environment profile |
| Caliptra U-Reg | Issues PRs | General-purpose libraries and tools for manipulating MMIO registers from Rust |
The GitHub config parameters for all the branches are documented in a local file.

The Caliptra workgroup meets every Friday at 9am PT. Meeting invite and agenda are posted to the mailing list. The call invite is also reachable from the CHIPS Workgroups page.
A Slack channel is used for interactive discussions. Keep in mind development activity is focused on GitHub issues and Pull Request reviews, rarely on the Slack channel. If you have issues joining please contact the mailing list.
Please sign the CHIPS CLA (as an individual or your company if affiliated) before participating in these channels.
