As the designer of "an ethernet connected beacon that counts and never overflows until the heat death of the universe" (https://talesonthewire.com/projects/until_heat_death_do_us_p...) I believe you have found the perfect audience for a memeish hardware project. So don't expect anything but my upmost support. :)
Nice, thanks for posting the link.
For the people unfamiliar with the Tiny Tapeout program: everyone that gets a copy of the Tiny Tapeout chip will be getting a copy of all the ASICs on the shuttle.
You can join multiple Tiny Tapeout tiles (grid squares) together to form bigger projects, which is what I did here. It's actually one of the bigger 4 grid projects.
Also how much you can fit really depends on the node the shuttle is targeting.
So I was in luck that this was on Global Foundries 180nm as you can cram in a lot for flip-flops onto a single tile compared with Skywater 130nm.
On the other hand the gates are much slower than on Skywater 130nm.
Hopefully both programs will be around for a while, so if you are still interested when you have more time you can join the shuttle then.
Sounds like they could have used you on that team.
Bad luck, but it at least you can walk away proud knowing it was not an issue with your technical skills. :)
Thanks :)
Yeah, the router is defiantly further in the future to, as it additionally requires CPU integration for run the software stack, switches are the first order of business.
Haha, nice one.
Defiantly all wrong, if hardware design was a religion I might have been excommunicated for this.
Deploying the fix now, it should have been "all nighter".
