I'm finally on my way home from ORConf (I did one more stopover afterwards). It was the greatest (because it was the largest) ORConf yet 😉 Awesome people, interesting talks, and I even presented one about wafer.space. You can check it out here […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

I got to try the RISC-V board of my friend Hirosh. It includes an open-source Linux-capable RISC-V CPU with MMU! What's special about it is that this SoC has been taped out on the open-source GF180MCU process using wafer.space 🚀 Since we're in different […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

wafer.space Run 2 is now officially in production! 🥳🚀 In short, wafer.space (wafer.space) offers low-volume silicon manufacturing of 1,000 custom silicon chips for the open-source GF180MCU process. Like last time, this shuttle features some […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]
