🎉 We are excited to announce that Google is expanding its partnership with SkyWater Technology. Over the past 2 years, this partnership has made building open silicon accessible to all developers. Learn more about the expansion ➡️ goo.gle/3QhLWQb

This is one of the things I have been busy with helping make happen recently! #sky130 #sky90fd #opensource #asic #pdk #hardware #openhardware

SkyWater Technology is receiving $15 million in funding from the Department of Defense to facilitate open source design for its 90 nm process offering. A testament to the value of this movement. lnkd.in/gfTjt2gn #OpenSource #semiconductor #circuitdesign

My team has done another thing! Great work by proppy 🎛️ Ethan Mahintorabi & Aaron Cunningham. It has also been awesome to see Mehdi Saligane's work on test designs for National Institute of Standards and Technology using OpenFASoC with SkyWater Technology Foundry SKY130 technology on the efabless.com Platform.

At this year's #ESSDERC - #ESSCIRC we will hold a talk on pre-silicon testing of the Google Open Source-sponsored SkyWater Technology Foundry MPW designs using co-simulation with Renode framework and #Verilator.

How much Quake can fit in a USB port? Quite a bit it turns out! A minuscule #Fomu #fpga board hosts my hardware/software re-implementation of the Quake render loop in the confines of a USB port (5K LUTs, 8 DSPs, all BRAMs, 128 kB of internal SPRAM). 1/n

Trace the execution of your software using Renode framework to log functions, accesses, count opcodes, and much more. Gather metrics and display them as graphs to gain in-depth insight into your software: antmicro.com/blog/2022/09/e… RISC-V International Zephyr Project Arm

Congrats to my former ⁦Harvard University⁩ bandmate ⁦Carolyn Bertozzi⁩ on her ⁦The Nobel Prize⁩ in chemistry! We won the Ivy League Battle of the Bands in 1986 with our rockin’ group ‘Bored Of Education’, with her on keyboards & me in spandex. news.stanford.edu/2022/10/05/car…

For anyone trying to make sense of Musk having Twitter engineers print out their code and show it to Tesla engineers… my view is we don’t need to look far to see what is happening. Elon doesn’t like to pay severance. From my coverage in Tesla’s secret layoffs in The Pragmatic Engineer:

20 minutes till we launch #TinyTapeout 2! Tell your friends! tinytapeout.com

Excited to see Asianometry talking about some of the stuff that my team has been helping make a reality! Hopefully it gets even more people giving this stuff a go. I wonder if he will do a video on Matthew Venn's #tinytapeout? youtu.be/tR7HuqZXQ3I

I hope I can learn how to use yosys and friends to target my weird serial FPGA. What a cool (formidable) set of tools.

adding a Colaboratory notebook to the CHIPSAlliance repo for people to try the GF180MCU flow github.com/chipsalliance/… feedbacks are welcome!

positively overwhelmed by the recent # of submissions to github.com/sscs-ose/sscs-…, almost 10x reproducible silicon notebooks submitted in the last few days! /gg University of Michigan's Mehdi Saligane and Stanford University's Boris Murmann for organizing!

August 3 morning (California time) Jan Gray will present the draft proposed spec for *composable* custom extensions for RISC-V: linkedin.com/posts/activity… #RISCV

Hi Piotr Zierhoffer, is this a me problem or an Antmicro problem?
