As the title states, this is a thread to converse about Open Source hardware without any NSA, FSB or Chinese backdoors. What options might we have in the future and what options are available at the moment that are fully auditable against government-imposed backdoors?

Ultimately it will not be sufficient to have an open source hardware chip. The tools and machinery to fabricate the chip will have to be open source as well. There is a whole supply chain to consider.
