08/03/2023, 5:23 PMMaybe the community should try to get maybe new sources of financing? Maybe approach a couple research ministries in different countries or the EU? I think all should be curious about the idea...

08/03/2023, 5:26 PMThere is always a potential for that; that's exactly what the IEEE-SSCS program did. Also there's Matt Venn's Zero-to-ASIC program, which runs slots on ChipIgnite.

08/03/2023, 5:32 PMThe zero-to-ASIC only appears to accept digital designs...unless @Matt Venn will consider mixed signal designs as well, we'd be stranded on the analog side...

08/06/2023, 12:03 AMMatt was doing something with analog and mixed-signal designs; he'll have to respond to your post because I don't know the details.

08/15/2023, 12:32 PMZero to ASIC course has always taped out on the google shuttles. We did a couple of private chipIgnites, but it was just between a few people
