But underneath that the [CHERIoT](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/cheriot-rethinking-security-for-low-cost-embedded-systems/) capabilities provides a high level of "default security" that simplifies designing embedded systems in a secure manner. You can see the [complete documentation](https://lowrisc.org/sonata-system/) for the project, but note it is under active development so substantial improvements are to be made. +The system contains a number of peripherals (I2C, SPI, GPIO, USB, and UART) and the CHERIoT Ibex core itself. +It is designed for use on FPGA and specifically targets the [Sonata FPGA board](https://github.com/newaetech/sonata-pcb), but as the entire design is open-source (from PCB to software), it can be run on any similar system. +This project is designed to look like a normal microcontroller in terms of usability, including SDK, examples, and normal capabilities such as debuggers. +But underneath that the [CHERIoT](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/cheriot-rethinking-security-for-low-cost-embedded-systems/) capabilities provides a high level of "default security" that simplifies designing embedded systems in a secure manner. +You can see the [complete documentation](https://lowrisc.org/sonata-system/) for the project.
