Tomorrow on the open source silicon stream, I'll be looking at what's involved to submit to the @tinytapeout #RISCV competition. Stream starts at 8:00 PT / 17:00 CEST / 21:30 IST youtube.com/live/7VM_dW1Jc… #opensourcesiliconstream #ASIC
Want to help build a crowdsourced microcontroller? You're invited to design peripherals (UARTs, timers, synths, etc.) for a @risc_v chip that will be fabbed for real! Take part for free! tinytapeout.com/competitions/r…

FabricFox: Little FPGA board that's a drop-in replacement for the ASIC on @tinytapeout TT06+ demo boards. It'll be CRAM configured by the RP2 on the DB, so it's uber simple. @fishPointer : does this save me from the culling?
Tiny Tapeout Workshop for enthusiasts and anyone excited about designing their own chip is just underway at #ETHZurich for SwissChips swisschips.ethz.ch/news-and-event…. And Matt @matthewvenn is in town for the event!

Our chip viewer just got an upgrade: now you can see microscope images, GDS, local interconnect and jump straight to project files. Spot something cool? Dive right into the design. tinytapeout.com/decap/tt07 Try out our new layer selections with the button at the top right.
Going to try hosting a space tomorrow - you are welcome to join.
Hands-on experience is key in learning analog design - but waiting months for a tapeout slows everything down. Peter Kinget built MOSbius, an “analog FPGA” that lets students experiment with real circuits in real time. Full interview: youtube.com/watch?v=abu3u6…
GDSII is the #ASIC terminology of the week! zerotoasiccourse.com/terminology/gd… In the last month, GDSII has been the 10th most popular out of 42 terms.
Join me at 08:00 PT, 17:00 CEST, 20:30 IST for another open source silicon stream! After covering the news, we'll take a look at the MOSbius project, a programmable transistor array and see if a small version could fit on @tinytapeout youtube.com/watch?v=FaEmKW…
