Pavona is an independent open-source silicon distribution hosted by the GlobalPlatform consortium.
The project maintains a modular library of general-purpose, tapeout-proven, certification-ready blocks and reference designs suitable for building secure-by-default chips, and more.
Single Source of Trust: Consistent-by-construction hardware, software and documentation
Modular Blocks: Standardized, low-dependency interfaces and templatized configurations
Versatile Utility: Open-source Silicon blocks and designs for more than just security
Ecosystem-Driven: Balanced community and commercial governance, inspired by Yocto
GlobalPlatform-Hosted: Governing Board hosted by neutral 501(c)(6)
global security standards body
Technical Governance: Independent Technical Steering Committee for technical decisions
Hardware-First CI: Containerized, unified hardware emulation, simulation and software CI
Post-Quantum Ready: Peer-reviewed, production-grade PQC and classical cryptography
Scalable Integrations: Small IoT chips to the largest mobile and chiplet-based datacenter SoCs
