@Tim Edwards Hello Tim, For Chiplgnite submission, do we need to integrate the io pad ring ourselves in the wrapper or it’s enough to make the routing in the user wrapper and submit it?

@jeffdi I added ef-staff as collaborator on my private git repo - can you approve the request so I can run mpw-precheck via repo for chipginite pls?

The deadline for submission to the chipIgnite 2211Q shuttle has been extended to Monday, December 5th.

What is die are, pin count available to user in chipIgnite project?

I guess that a chipignite without caravel providing a bit more area and a few more pins is unlikely to be on the cards for the next april one?

We plan to build Caravel test board with a socket on it. To purchase CSP socket for Caravel WLCSP package, we need to know the dimension, POD, of the WLCSP. For example package width, length, height. diameter of bump, spacing between bumps, bumps height, package edge to bumps. where I can I find the WLCSP package information?

<!channel> as I think this is relevant to anyone who has submitted or is thinking of submitting a design in ChipIgnite. 1) I was informed that as at Feb 17th the designs for ChipIgnite 2211Q hadn't been submitted to Skywater yet for manufacturing. Considering that the deadline for submission to efabless was early December, this means a delay of at least 2 months - no reason given as to why so, especially considering this is a paid for service. 2) Was also told that as a result of this the expected delivery date is now August 2023, instead of March 2023. This is a 5 month delay - just to put this in perspective, expected delivery date for the next ChipIgnite run, 2304C, is July 2023 as per efabless website (before 2211Q?!?). 3) No notification / announcements / emails received since submission - all this info was obtained by asking different people at efabless - which is very inefficent. Also tagging @jeffdi @Nathan Pier @Tim Edwards @Matt Venn in case there are any updates/feedback.

Big update from Efabless -->

@jeffdi @htamas What is package for 2206Q chipignite project QFN or WCSP ?

When will next chipIgnite tape out date? I heard that it will be in Oct. 2023. Is it true?

June 6 and then September

Check the efabless website

Thanks for your information

is there a way to download the caravel GDS and other generated files from the platform after running the tapeout job?

@jeffdi @Tim Edwards @Tomas Choi We are currently getting an error with our Analog tapeout submission - it looks as though the tapeout checks aren’t configured for analog submissions? Log below…we are project 2056, if it helps at all🙂

@Aidan McNay we are updating Caravan for analog tapeouts. Tapeouts will fail until the update is complete. I'll let you know as soon as it is updated. Worst case, we will run your tapeout for you after the submission deadline.

********************* <!channel> For those of you with Analog project on the CI-2306 shuttle (using user_analog_project_wrapper with Caravan), Caravan has been updated and you can now complete tapeout jobs for Analog projects on the Efabless platform. Please let us know if you have any issues or questions. *********************

the ChipIgnite provide 5 evaluation Boards. In efabless caravel_board github. There are a lot of boards schematics. Which one will be QFN's evaluation board?

The deadline for the chipIgnite shuttle is fast approaching! The deadline is tonight at 11:59 p.m., Pacific Time. Please submit your designs as soon as possible to ensure that they are included on the shuttle. https://efabless.com/

@Dinesh A I guess you found it in the meantime, but this is the QFN pinout. It's from https://github.com/efabless/caravel_board/blob/main/docs/caravel_qfn_bond.pdf .
