[FOSSi] OpenLANE: Open Source 130nm PDK

Join Mohamed Shalan for the 2nd talk in the Free and Open Source Silicon (FOSSi) Foundation Dial-Up series is on Tuesday 28th July, he will talk about OpenLANE on the first-in-the-industry Open Source Manufacturable SkyWater 130nm PDK

Mohamed Shalan - OpenROAD on SkyWater 130nm

Unlike the wider software world, Electronic Design Automation (EDA) open-source landscape has been fragmented for a long time, requiring significant effort and knowledge in a variety of disciplines to assemble a working ASIC flow. This has changed with projects such as Qflow and OpenROAD that aim at developing open-source toolchain for digital layout generation from RTL. OpenLane is an automated RTL to GDSII flow based on available opensource EDA tools configured/tuned for the SkyWater 130nm PDK. OpenLane main objective is to generate a clean layout from RTL designs in less than 24-hours with zero human interventions. OpenLane has been used, successfully, to tape-out a family of test chips (striVe).
