We are going to talk about a fully open tapeout - from first schematics published for community review to sending the design to the Fab over the course of 6 months. Leveraging ET-platform and ecosystem around it, open source tools and now open CORE-ET silicon platform (part of OpenHW group), we present many-core RISC-V-based design with MRAM, creating a basis for the next generation open designs.
This talk presents an increasingly open development model, highlighting both the progress already made and the practical gaps that remain in today’s silicon ecosystem.
The talk is going to cover the building blocks that made it possible, the tooling and processes that are used to support open development and testing, the software that is being brought from a larger ET-SOC-1 design to a smaller unit of compute. Rather than presenting a fully open flow as a solved problem, this talk offers a practical account of how far open silicon development can be pushed today, what still depends on closed tooling, and what this means for the next generation of open RISC-V designs.
