SkyWater 130 for Education: Lessons from a VLSI class with FOSS tools
2022-07-31 , TR214
Language: English

Back in 2020, we were the first, if not among the first, to use the eFabless open MPW program and free, open-source OpenLane/OpenROAD toolchain as the primary teaching medium in a University class project. In this talk I will reflect on the allure and dangers of using FOSS tooling for University classes, the results, what went wrong and what went right, and what we've done since.


Target Audience

Students, developers or anyone who are interested in VLSI and open source activities.
