The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras have successfully developed ‘MOUSHIK’, an indigenously-made microprocessor for the Internet of things (IoT) devices.
It was conceptualised, designed and developed at the Pratap Subrahmanyam Centre for Digital Intelligence and Secure Hardware Architecture (PS-CDISHA).
There are three steps involved in the making of a microprocessor, namely design, fabrication and post-silicon boot-up.
The project was funded by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology.
