The Promise of Open Source Semiconductor Design Tools

In 2018, DARPA announced that the United States will invest $100 million in new open source tools and silicon blocks to create SOCs and circuit boards. The goal is to try and bend the cost curve of making modern semiconductor silicon.

While an open source EDA software community has been around for several decades, the increasing difficulty of fabbing at the leading edge has caused it to gradually fall behind the commercial industry.

But now, open source hardware innovations like RISC-V have been casting a lot of light onto the open source EDA space as well. In this fun little video, we are going to take a look at the ecosystem as it is today.
