FOSSi Foundation

Today we released version 0.3.0 of surfer. There are many new and exciting features of which showing high-level transaction streams and a remote control interface are my favorites. If you are working with waveforms I highly recommend you to try surfer, and to let us know what you would like to see added (or send us a merge request if you are motivated :) ) Thanks also from my side to our many new contributers!

🛣️🎯 Open Source EDA Recommendations and Roadmap for Europe We have finally released the final document of the roadmap for European funding: https://lnkd.in/dF5mfMZN Thanks a lot to the entire community for their input and the efforts of the core authors, led by our great Matt Venn and Stefan Wallentowitz

Second week of November and we have a brand new El Correo Libre for you all. This time we will learn about creating graphics on FPGA with Will Green, see Adam Taylor having fun with FuseSoC, take a peek at Sylvain Munaut's ROM compiler and much more. Enjoy! https://lnkd.in/d9ErTBsd

We're in the second week of the month which means that it's time for a new issue of El Correo Libre, the premier newsletter for Open Source Silicon. This month we present a rundown on ORConf, flexible RISC-V chips, an open source ASIC intro, a new FuseSoC release and much more. Enjoy! https://lnkd.in/dbTjVajg

📢 Community, we need you! As reported earlier, FOSSi Foundation was tasked with helping the community to define a roadmap for European funding of Open Source EDA tools. We are still in the process of working with key figures from the community on this task, but its time to provide your input! Please find the current draft working document (with quite a few holes in there) here, along with a form to easily provide your input. We are in particular looking for funding opportunities in the form "if we fund $activitiy for $years, $focusarea will improve and $needforeurope will benefit". So, please tell us about gaps and opportunities of open source EDA in your area of expertise! https://lnkd.in/dF5mfMZN 🙏 THANKS!

Heading back from a fantastic experience at #ORConf in beautiful Gothenburg, Sweden. It was a pleasure to see such diverse and inspiring talks and discuss ideas. 🎥 If you missed anything, the recordings are available online. You will also find some FazyRV content there. 🙂 https://lnkd.in/ebnQ3qc6 👏 Many thanks to the FOSSi Foundation for setting up such a well-organized event.

The ORConf main program has just ended and we are happy to share with you all the recordings of the exciting talks from yesterday and today! https://lnkd.in/dGxDNHUD We are heading to the social event now and will conclude ORConf with workshops tomorrow!

My presentation at FOSSi Foundation #ORConf is already published! https://lnkd.in/dZmJQ668 Analog microelectronics is a crucial but often overlooked part of #ASIC design. In this talk I will share my experience getting started with #analog #microelectronics, and taping out my first few designs. I will cover motivation, tools, my designs, and my success and failures so far. The presentation will end with a discussion on how this fascinating topic fits into the wider picture of open source silicon and the next steps needed to enable radio transmitters and receivers. Thanks to Efabless Corporation for both supporting Tiny Tapeout and sponsoring the conference!

💡 Heading to the second day of #ORConf 2024. The recordings of the exciting talks of the first are available already! https://lnkd.in/dGxDNHUD
