Channel: FOSSi Foundation
Date: 16/09/2023

Linux Foundation’s CHIPS Alliance project propagates the development and use of open source tooling for ASIC and FPGA design to bring a more software-oriented mindset into the hardware world. The Tools Working Group within CHIPS is concerned specifically with digital design tools which cover simulation, synthesis and place and route, IP aggregation, linting, formatting and more.

In this talk, the Chair of the Tools WG will discuss recent developments in the group’s projects such as RISC-V DV, Verible, Surelog/UHDM, SystemVerilog synthesis, custom GitHub runners for mass CI, improvements in Verilator and more.
