SkyWater 130 for Education: Lessons from a VLSI class with FOSS tools
Arya Reais-Parsi
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.
