The took place between 19 - 21.6.2024.

The conference is about free and open source silicon eda tools covering all parts from rtl to gds2 flow and open source hardware designs (digital + analog).

Openroad is an initiative to provide a full RTL to GDS2 flow with open source tools. An introduction is here:

The US ministry of defence (June 2018 - April 2022) to develop an open source eda toolchain from rtl to synthesis with 17 million dollars:

is a non-profit organization - a follow up or pendant for the OpenROAD project. Also led by Andrew Kahng. “A consortium of semiconductor industry and academia partners”. Funded by EDA/Semiconductor companies? They are funding for example Yosys.

is a with 12 listed employees? with free open source eda based design services. The also have closed source paid parts like a vhdl parser. They develop the .

provides mpw services for a number of fabs. Part of the activity is a google sponsored mpw programm to provide cheap access to chip fabrication technology. Motto: “Design your first chip for $300”. See:

offers Google sponsored MPW runs and provides a open source including standard library for a 130nm CMOS technology. This works in collaboration with Efabless.
