Baochip makes open-source hardware.
Backside IR image of the chip!

The Baochip-1x is packaged specifically to enable you to verify that you've got the correct chip, and not a fake or a substitute part (see bunnie.org/iris for how).

The final chip will have part numbering that overlaps the memory array on the lower third of the chip.

A killer app for SoC source code is debugging your code with RTL simulation. Simulation gets you cycle-accurate views into what's happening throughout the system - the program counter, registers, state machines.
