“The shuttle gives designers the freedom to innovate without having to worry about the risks associated with the cost of fabrication. “MPW-TWO is the second Open MPW Shuttle providing fabrication for fully open-source projects using the SkyWater Open Source PDK announced by Google and SkyWater,” says CHIPS Alliance general manager Rob Mains. Stefan Wallentowitz, Director, FOSSi FoundationĮfabless, CHIPS Alliance Launch MPW-TWO Shuttle for Open Silicon Projectsįollowing the stellar success of MPW-ONE, the first entry in the Open MPW Shuttle programme to see free and open-source silicon projects produced as physical chips at zero cost to project creators and maintainers, Efabless and CHIPS Alliance have announced the deadlines for the second shuttle: MPW-TWO. You can find more information about FOSSi Dial-Up and the upcoming talks on the FOSSi Foundation website. We are really curious to learn about how it went for them and what the community can learn from them. Throughout June we will run a weekly event in the same time slot then where the successful participants of first Skywater Open Source PDK shuttle will present their results. Of course we’ll also look at some of the newest features of cocotb and how they make verifying hardware even more productive. In this talk, Philipp will present a bit of history on cocotb, how maintaining popular software is challenging, and ways the cocotb project found useful to solve those issues. After some impressive first results, the project was dormant for some time, but since a few years it is under control by a group of maintainers that turned it into a vivid project. The series will resume on May 25 with Philipp Wagner talking about the long path to a sustainable cocotb community. He also presented what he is currently working on and we had an interesting Q&A.
Wilson talked the background of Verilator and how it grew out of an internal tool into the open source community 25 years ago. We launched our series of talks around “evolving communities” on April 27 and were joined by Wilson Snyder, the primary author of Verilator.
After some unfortunate delays, FOSSi Dial-Up is back.
