WOSET is next Thursday (11/03/22). Free virtual registration lots of great open source EDA talks. woset-workshop.github.io
Accellera will host an online workshop to discuss the parallelization of #SystemC simulations on 7 April 2022. The workshop is free but registration is required. lnkd.in/gMbEyf4C

chipIgnite one - up and running in seconds. It is using Caravel with clock mesh patch to address timing issues with metal only changes.
Received silicon from #sky130_mpw1 *just* before Christmas. Thanks to @efabless and @Google for sponsoring! Even with the known mpw1 issues, I’m still excited to see how much I can prove works. Now to develop some SMD reflow skills 😂
There’s something immensely satisfying about leveraging c++’s semi-arcane features to implement a language-like user experience for an API. Perhaps it’s my version of doing the crossword.
Back to writing VHDL for a project. VHDL was my first HDL. Unfortunately for me, picking it up again after 20 years isn’t “just like riding a bicycle”…
Great workshop, with another strong lineup this year!
Have an idea for a panel for DVCon U.S. 2022? Would you like to sponsor a tutorial or workshop? The deadline for proposals is this Tuesday, September 14! For more info and guidelines visit bit.ly/3DZbwE2
A few months back, I went to post a paper of mine on @arxiv and discovered that I needed someone to vouch for me. A quick search didn’t quickly result in someone I could ask. Any chance someone here is a confirmed submitter and would be willing to provide a referral? DMs open!
I’ll admit, I bought this on a bit of a lark, because I saw a couple other Twitter folks had purchased it, and because I’ve always enjoyed implementing small languages. Only a few pages in, I’m already loving it!
Great to see EFabless and OpenRoad officially joining forces

Really enjoying hooking up my functional-verification regression to the Allure (docs.qameta.io/allure/) test-reporting framework.
Efabless, a community chip creation platform, today announced the launch of its new chipIgnite program to bring chip design and fabrication to the masses. electronicsweekly.com/news/business/…
Currently fighting Python extensions. Love how convenient they are for exposing native-compiled libraries, but, *oof*, the contortions involved to do something moderately complex!
Portable Test & Stimulus Standard 2.0 now available! New major features improve the usability of the standard and expand its portability and flexibility to a broader class of verification challenges. For more info and to download the standard: bit.ly/3mKTDAy
