Make Your Own Chips for Free

  • This is a fantastic program for teaching students about VHDL. You can make some really cool stuff on a 130nm process with 10mm^2 available. Like a full toy SoC. Really cool.

  • I was very upset this was not about making Potato Chips. Seriously.

    "Inclusive". Ah.

    When I'm writing technical documentation, it has one goal: to describe the project to anyone who wants to use it. "Inclusivity" is not a part of my goalset.

  • Does anyone have any in sight into how often they do these shuttles? Probably going to miss tapeout for this round but it'd be cool to get a physical chip some day, just for coolness.

  • I wonder how difficult/efficient would it be to use this tech to design a bitcoin mining ASIC.

  • So how many transistors ( or GATES? ) that 10mm^2 is at 130nm?

  • Money for nothing...
