Getting Started with Open Source Silicon
Matt Venn shares his experience of getting started with chip design using the free and open source tools in this webinar. Going from 0 to 20 chips in 3 years, there are plenty of successes and failures to share. Matt will point you to the best resources, inspirational example projects, and showcase some of his own tools. The presentation ends with a demonstration showing just how easy and cheap it is to get your own chip manufactured today.
