@Mitch Bailey how to clear such issue i run precheck 4 times all suceeded and tapout fails kindly suggest how to resolve From a thread in #tapeout-job

Hi all , anyone have idea how to deal with this problem as tape out is failed while checking@Mitch Bailey @jeffdi @Tim Edwards any ideas? fom_density_fail.png Thread in #tapeout-job

Hi, can someone tell me if there will be an mpw-9 shuttle anytime soon? Will it contain reram?

ANY news regarding MPW-3 at all? Am I missing something or it really took about a year?! @Matt Venn @jeffdi @Sara N @Tim Edwards

What is/are the exact difference/differences between #announcements, #shuttle and #shuttle-status? @jeffdi @Matt Venn

Can I get a clear Idea on what's going on for tapeout run?? I have tried every possible solutions that I got from different resources but my tapeout is failing again and again.. my precheck is all passed: Precheck Id: 03c6e668-01c4-4e5b-b1be-841e58aa9852 Also I don't get the point why there is difference between logs in my jobs for same precheck run ( Warning : 183 shift/reduce conflicts) and the log file saved in galaxy desktop( NO warnings saved here) ?? my tapeout is failing: Tapeout id: 92fbac3a-4dd9-4842-a7bf-d42447e12500 Posted in #tapeout-job

As for the difference between the protocols: Shift/reduce conflicts are quite common in LALR grammars. Often solvable by an n-token lookahead parser or by the lexer. The warning is addressed to developers and not to users. It is not necessarily an error.

Hi, is there a possibility in the delay of the submission of the mpw-8 shuttle?

MPW-8 is now open for project submissions ( https://platform.efabless.com/shuttles/MPW-8 ). The deadline for project submissions for MPW-8 is December 31, 2022 @ 11:59pm PST.

Welcome in Kyoto/Japan !!! https://sscs.ieee.org/membership/awards/ieee-sscs-code-a-chip-travel-grant-awards

Does anyone have any update on when MP7 chips will come back? Thank you.

Hello efabless, can you please ship parts back dead or alive? No need to send the board even. We need to make sure that you are really supported by a fab, Skywater.Please don't think about what people will do with dead parts. The community wants to confirm that you guys can manufacture chips.

TSMC has announced 16nm university program. You guys have to be real fast to keep the community with efabless. Otherwise, 16nm vs 130nm will be lost battle.

********************************************* <!channel> Open-MPW and chipIgnite Shuttle Status We’ve just added a web page on the Efabless site to help provide better and more timely information regarding the current shuttle status. Please see the following link… https://efabless.com/shuttle-status We’ve been working through a back log of shuttle (re)submissions as well as shipping MPW-2 hardware to project owners, and this has caused delays on more recent shuttles. That said, we are mostly caught up and expect to be back to a standard and more predictable schedule going forward. We know the delays and lack of information has been frustrating. We do greatly appreciate your patience and the many who expressed support as we worked through the silicon issues encountered on MPW-2 last year. Thank you. *********************************************

********************************************* <!channel> Hello. New video interview with Andy Wright from Efabless covering the issues with Caravel affecting MPW-2 and how they were fixed. *********************************************

@Andrew Wright In the “How we fixed Caravel” video you mentioned that there was a check that made sure every pin had a constraint. Is this a check that can be done automatically?

<!channel> Hello Everyone, The chipIgnite shuttle is open for submissions. Deadline to submit your project is April 24, 2023. More info: https://efabless.com/ Watch video: https://bit.ly/42awtIr

************************ Re: Efabless and Silicon Valley Bank********************************* <!channel> To our community, customers and partners: Many of you may have read about the failure of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) on March 10 (yesterday). SVB has been our primary bank and we, like many others, were affected. The good news is that we have another banking relationship where we have kept funds, including for unforeseeable “contingencies”. As such, we are continuing with business as usual. We will update you as we get more information on this situation. Regards Mike Wishart CEO, Efabless *************************************************************************************************

*****************************Re: Government Steps In For SVB Depositors *********************************8* <!channel> To our community, customers and partners. What a difference a weekend can make. Please see the announcement below. While we had taken precautions, this obviously is good news for Efabless (and many others).
