With contributions to AI-driven innovations and multiple recognitions in technology excellence\, the resource person delivered a structured overview of Linux fundamentals .\nThe session covered Linux architecture\, terminal commands\, file handl ing\, permissions\, environment variables\, process management\, and exten sive demonstrations on Vim as a modal editor. Students practiced commands in real time on Linux systems available in the VLSI laboratory\, ensuring practical familiarity with terminal workflows and scripting basics.\nThe f irst day concluded with participants gaining a clear and confident command of essential Linux operations and introductory scripting practices. The s tructured demonstrations\, combined with sustained hands-on engagement\, e nabled students to translate theoretical concepts into practical execution . The day’s sessions effectively established a strong technical foundati on for subsequent exploration of automation-oriented workflows\, setting t he stage for the second day’s focus on TCL.\nDay 2: TCL Workshop\nThe se cond day focused on TCL programming and its relevance in automation within semiconductor and engineering tools. The session was facilitated by Ms. R amapriya\nC G\, a senior SoC design professional at Intel with expertise i n low- power design and physical implementation methodologies.\nParticipan ts were introduced to core TCL constructs including variables\, branching\ , looping\, and procedures\, along with demonstrations on how TCL scripts interface with command interpreters in EDA flows. Students executed script s\, experimented with modifications\, and discussed syntax behaviour and a utomation techniques.\nThe second day drew to a close with participants ac hieving a functional understanding of TCL scripting and its role in drivin g automation within engineering and EDA environments. The progressive demo nstrations and practice-oriented exercises strengthened student’s abilit y to interpret commands\, construct scripts\, and apply language construct s meaningfully. The workshop concluded with participants equipped with ind ustry-relevant scripting skills and a comprehensive appreciation of TCL's utility in modern design flows.\nThe workshop strengthened participants’ practical understanding of Linux and TCL as essential components of moder n engineering workflows.\nStudents gained hands-on exposure to terminal-ba sed development\, scripting\, and automation principles that support both software infrastructure and semiconductor design.
