About this hackathon
An open-hardware hackathon from CrossBar and Baochip around the Dabao board, which runs the Baochip-1x / CrossBar Daric chip whose design source is published. Pick up a free limited-edition board in Mumbai during Devcon 8 (Nov 3–6), or have one shipped for $20, then build anything cool on it from wherever you are: the four 700 MHz RISC-V BIO I/O cores, an inspectable Ethereum signer, chip verification, glitch countermeasures, Xous (Rust OS) apps or tooling. No categories or required stack; submit a repo, video and write-up by Dec 15, 9 pm ET. Judges include bunnie Huang; prizes up to $5,000.

一句话简介：CrossBar 和 Baochip 办的开源硬件黑客松，在 Dabao 开发板（Baochip-1x / CrossBar Daric 芯片，设计源码公开）上做点酷东西。
看点：不设赛道、不限技术栈，可以玩 4 个 700MHz RISC-V BIO 协处理器、可审计的以太坊签名器、芯片验证、抗故障注入攻防、Xous（Rust 微内核）应用或开发工具；评审看能不能在板子上现场跑、是不是别的板做不到、是否开源可复现、用了多少芯片特性；评委有 bunnie Huang（Baochip 创始人）和 CrossBar CEO/CTO；没板子也能先用 GitHub 上的 BIO 模拟器开工
奖金：最高 5,000 美元，颁给评审最认可的作品
截止日期：12月15日 21:00（美国东部时间）提交作品（仓库 + 视频 + 说明，线上提交）
活动日期：11月3日—12月15日；11月3日—6日在孟买 Devcon 8 现场领板（去不了付 20 美元邮寄）；11月4日 17:00 孟买现场工作坊；12月18日线上公布结果
