[FOSSi] OpenLANE: Open Source 130nm PDK. Join live on YouTube on Tuesday July 28 at 16:00GMT lnkd.in/gCyMuPp buff.ly/2CQd8VV

I have my first routed design using OpenLane & the Google/Skywater open PDK. github.com/mattvenn/vga-c…. On an FPGA it's ~150 flops / 300 LUTs. On the 130nm process it uses ~200 square microns, so there's room for about 300 of these on one chip! #FPGA #ASIC

This week on the show, Mohamed MK of efabless.com joins Chris Gammell to talk about building custom ASICs. They integrate many of the open source tools described in Ep 501 and are developing the OpenLANE toolflow to make it even easier! buff.ly/2D5JEng

In this interview I talk to Vladimir Milovanović about his Google/@Skywater/@Efabless #ASIC application - a spectrometer written in Chisel. youtube.com/watch?v=dAFcod…

After 8 transit hours at Frankfurt airport, Lufthansa delayed my flight to the next day and gave me a pillow to just sleep anywhere in the airport.

OpenLane 2, is finally in beta. OpenLane 2 is a rewrite of OpenLane in Python that re-imagines it as not just a flow, but an infrastructure with which anyone can create a custom flow, but also, it maintains backwards compatibility with OpenLane 1. github.com/efabless/openl…

You can read more about OpenLane 2 here: efabless.com/blog/announcin… You can also jump straight into the Google Colab: colab.research.google.com/github/efables…
