# ChipWhisperer

[Wiki](https://wiki.newae.com/Main_Page) | [Knowledge Base](https://wiki.newae.com/Category:Knowledge_Base) | [Forum](http://www.newae.com/forum) | [Store](https://store.newae.com) | [NewAE](http://newae.com)

ChipWhisperer is an open source toolchain dedicated to hardware security research. This toolchain consists of several layers of open source components:
* __Hardware__: The ChipWhisperer uses a _capture_ board and a _target_ board. Schematics and PCB layouts for the ChipWhisperer-Lite capture board and a number of target boards are freely available.
* __Firmware__: Three separate pieces of firmware are used on the ChipWhisperer hardware. The capture board has a USB controller (in C) and an FPGA for high-speed captures (in Verilog) with open-source firmware. Also, the target device has its own firmware; this repository includes many firmware examples for different targets.
* __Software__: The ChipWhisperer software is made up of a _capture_ program to control the hardware and an _analyzer_ program to process captured data.

## Getting Started
First time using ChipWhisperer? All of the documentation is available on the Wiki. Here are a few quick links to get you started:
* [Getting Started](https://wiki.newae.com/Getting_Started) if you have no idea where to start
* [Installing ChipWhisperer](https://wiki.newae.com/Installing_ChipWhisperer) if you're trying to set up this software package
* [Tutorial B1](https://wiki.newae.com/Tutorial_B1_Building_a_SimpleSerial_Project) once everything is set up

## GIT Source
Note all development occurs on the [develop](https://github.com/newaetech/chipwhisperer/tree/develop) branch. If you are looking for bleeding edge it's NOT on master - we push each release (and possibly any critical changes) to master. This means that "master" always gives you the latest known-working branch, but there may be new features on the "develop" branch.

## Help!
Stuck? If you need a hand, there are a few places you can ask for help:
* The #ChipWhisperer channel on [Freenode](https://webchat.freenode.net/)
* The [NewAE Forum](https://www.newae.com/forum/) is full of helpful people that can point you in the right direction
* If you find a bug, let us know through the [issue tracker](https://github.com/newaetech/chipwhisperer/issues)
