ISHI-kai OpenMPW

ISHI-kai (Inter-linked Society on Homemade IC Kai)
https://ishikai.connpass.com/event/382637/

The name was conceived from a society community (association) that deals with open (democratized) silicon semiconductor (ASIC/LSI/IC) and connects various R&D fields.

OpenMPW (Open Multi Project Wafer), which appeared as a pioneer of this, is a shuttle program born with Google's investment in Efabless, and is open and free of charge for semiconductors (ASIC/LSI/ICs), including the tools necessary for making semiconductors (ASIC/LSI/IC) to ISHI manufacturing in the fab. IC). This is exactly the "openness of semiconductors (ASIC/LSI/IC) and EDA/PDK" of the open source movement (democratization of software) that started with GNU! [read more...]

20:00 - 20:30 End-to-end open-source Digital IC Design Participation Report @jun1okamura/OpenSUSI -
20:30 - 21:00 Various event reports such as academic conferences @nishizawa#2174 -
21:00 - 21:30 I thought about the application of self-made LSIs that are no longer a niche Yuuki Umeta/Newcomer Although the base of self-made LSIs is expanding, there are still aspects that are established by public subsidies and donations from major companies. Therefore, it cannot be said that there is an established business model (with long-term financial sustainability). I thought it would be a hint for many people, so I thought about how to apply it like brainstorming.
21:30 - 22:00 The Game Participation Experience Report @reodon -
22:00 - 22:30 About the AX1001 SoC for SWEST27 Robots & IoT Edge Susumu Yamazaki/SWEST27 Executive Committee & Associate Professor, Kitakyushu City University This is a lecture given by Mr. Takeoka of Axe Co., Ltd. in SWEST27. The AX1001, a proprietary SoC developed for robots and IoT edges, is equipped with the ROS2rapper IP, which is a completely hardware-based ROS2 communication unit. At the same time, it is also equipped with a "Shochiku V" CPU that is an independent expansion of RISC-V. Shochiku V has multi-threaded control and semaphore by hardware, and realizes RTOS-equivalent functions only with hardware. Shochiku V also has an 8-bit floating-point vector arithmetic mechanism for ML and a Lisp/Prolog acceleration instruction.
22:30 - 23:00 Launch report of the ISHI Kai's GPS system on the Kagoshima rocket @noritsuna We will have the GPS system for rockets being created by the ISHI Association installed on the Kagoshima rocket and participate in the launch experiment. Therefore, we will report on the GPS system and the work of the rocket until the launch and the launch itself.
