Did you always want one weird extra peripheral on your microcontroller? Do you know a bit of Verilog?
If so, this is a great opportunity to get your very own design integrated into a Risc-V SoC and made in silicon! And it's free to take part.

ASICs are cool.
FPGAs are ❤️.

A terminal window with text like "pass basics/set_copy.py" on each line, showing the tests are passing.
Watching the #Micropython test suite running on TinyQV, my Risc-V SoC. An increasing number of tests pass 😅
With the #TinyTapeout competition using it, I'm trying to make sure there's no lurking issues!

My TT06 board arrived!
I don't have a design on this but I intend to try RISC-V SoCs on this.

MOSbius - A field programmable transistor array for chip designers - interview with Peter Kinget
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: www.youtube.com/watch?v=abu3...

Should we make a mini MOSbius and include it on all our future tapeouts?

Open Source Silicon Stream #14 - testing the Z80 and 3 weeks of news
We're back after a 3 week pause! Join me today at 17:00 CEST for the next installment of the open source silicon stream.
After catching up on the news we'll take a look at the Renaldas Zioma's Z80 and try to run some programs.

This is the moment Rej's open source Z80 woke up and said hello!
After Zilog’s April 2024 announcement, ReJ quickly taped out a drop-in replacement to preserve retrocomputing and legacy systems.
Taped out on TT07, it's a landmark in democratizing chip design.

We recently sat down with Tibor Herman to talk about HUNITY, the satellite that’s taking our chips to space.
We dug into past missions, how it maneuvers in orbit and the test framework that’ll run your code.
