    "GhostWrite is the result of an architectural flaw, a hardware bug in the XuanTie C910 and C920 CPU. These are only two of many RISC-V CPUs, but they are widely used for a variety of applications. According to the research team, vulnerable devices include:

    Scaleway Elastic Metal RV1, bare-metal C910 cloud instances

    • Milk-V Pioneer, 64-core desktop/server
    • Lichee Cluster 4A, compute cluster
    • Lichee Book 4A, laptop
    • Lichee Console 4A, tiny laptop
    • Lichee Pocket 4A, gaming console
    • Sipeed Lichee Pi 4A, single-board computer (SBC)
    • Milk-V Meles, SBC
    • BeagleV-Ahead, SBC"
