Real Silicon Using Open-Source EDA
R. Timothy Edwards, Mohamed Shalan, Mohamed Kassem
Abstract
This article demonstrates that complete open-source tooling can be used to design industrial quality digital circuits. Using the OpenLane framework, based itself on the OpenROAD tool 2, the authors show a complete set of RISCV-based SoC.
