The Cincoranch Test Chip 1 (TC1), manufactured in Intel3 technology, integrates three RISC-V processors
with a Vector Processing Unit (VPU) accelerator and an HPC-oriented cache hierarchy. This work presents the
electrical characterization of the silicon, the power-on bring-up procedure, and basic functionality verification
of the TC1 chips. Initial measurements focused on power consumption and temperature of each core under idle
conditions, providing insight into the chip’s behavior and readiness for further workload testing.
