very cool!

<!channel> Has the lottery system for MPW-8 started?

Check out Dinesh Annaya's @Dinesh A RISCduino design that uses a hierarachical design methodology and other interesting design concepts to achieve good PPA and timing closure using OpenROAD and OpenLane. https://theopenroadproject.org/implementation-of-riscduino-core-using-a-hierarchical-design-flow/ (edited)

For MPW-8, I have received one email said that the project has been accepted, and another email said that the project has not been selected. What happened? In my previous project, I only received one email,

accepted

or

not been select

.

@Matt Venn we have the auto-generated manifest spreadsheet and CSV files available now

@Matt Venn https://github.com/mattvenn/efabless_project_tool/issues/7

great

I will keep leaning on Efabless to enable an index of all the submitted projects so I can combine both into one search tool

@Mitch Bailey What do you mean? The checksums make sure that you actually have what you think you have?

Greetings, apologies if I didn’t read the relevant announcements carefully enough, but I still have some trivial questions regarding the submission process. When you get an “accepted for MPW-8” email, this means that your project is accepted for the lottery. Once the lottery takes place you get a second email informing you about the outcome of the lottery process? Q1: Is that right ? Q2: Will you get informed about the reasons why a project is not accepted in the first place? Q2+: Although submitting it a few weeks before the end of the submission period, I get the notification a few days after the final date, so there would have been no chance to correct any issues. It looks like this is the current proceedings, right ? Cheers, Tobias

@jeffdi / @Tim Edwards Are there likely to be any more free shuttles for sky130 or since Google have paid for the 6/7 they promised is it safe to assume the future of free sky130 shuttles is uncertain?

Hi Guys Any news on mpw-6 dies getting delivered? The efabless web says that the estimated delivery was in October 2022.

For those who have mpw-3 chips, here are the back-end verification (soft connection, LVS, CVC[ERC]) results. These checks should be incorporated into the next precheck, so you’ll want to add an lvs_config.sh file and the relevant spice netlists for analog designs.

@Mitch Bailey @jeffdi My submission to MPW3 got accepted, but I did not receive chips yet and nor do I have any info about the shipment

TinyTapeout 4 will run on chipIgnite 2309C. If you want to get a small design on board, join us for the launch event: https://streamyard.com/watch/kU7zPXsSACXr

Regarding GFMPW0 shuttle, the status page (https://efabless.com/shuttle-status) shows that "all projects shipped". However I haven't received any email about the tracking number, is this expected or I should contact someone to get my tracking number? Thanks

TinyTapeout 4 is open for submissions. Closing date is 8th of September. 26 IOs, ~50MHz IO, $100 for 100x160um (pay extra for more space) and 1 chip delivered with PCB

@Tim Edwards @jeffdi I hear there is plan for OpenFrame (Excluding Caravel CPU + Subsystem) tape-out. Where i can find more details on this? Are we started accepting this Open Frame based tapeout ?

TinyTapeout 5 is open! Closing date is 4th of November. 26 IOs, ~50MHz IO, $100 for 100x160um (pay extra for more space) and 1 chip delivered with PCB https://tinytapeout.com/

@Mitch Bailey, @Matt Venn ,My design is selected in MPW7. Currently it is showing status: " waiting for packaging". Can you please let us know if we get packaged chips only with evaluation board or some dies also?

Hi! I am doing the top-level integration of multiple blocks using caravel and I am struggling with the LVS Errors at step 29 (attached). It looks like a problem with the:

"FP_PDN_MACRO_HOOKS": [
        "egd_top_wrapper vccd1 vssd1 vccd1 vssd1",
        "R4_butter       vccd1 vssd1 vccd1 vssd1",
        "wb_buttons_leds vccd1 vssd1 vccd1 vssd1"],

That is maybe considering vccd1 and vssd1 as 6 different nets. Does anyone know how to solve that? All the files can be seem at https://github.com/unic-cass/IC1-CASS

hello all, we are getting a fail status in out tapeout job, but can't find the message that indicates what's the actual error (all the steps seem to succeed in the main log), is there anyone facing this issue? I'm attachiing the log files, any help would be really appreciated

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but does anyone know who to talk to about possibly getting an entire uncut wafer for the GFMPW-1 shuttle? I'm working on a university research project where we intend to do some further non-CMOS depositions, and are willing to pay for any additional extra costs.
