RISC-V core designed by one cohort and 10-bit DAC IP designed by second cohort being used in SoC by third cohort - How about that? They Started with 5-days workshop + 8-weeks hardware design program
"GitHub is indeed the new resume"
Please join me in congratulating Mansi Mohapatra and Mili Anand from INDIRA GANDHI DELHI TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY FOR WOMEN in realizing SoC with simple RISC-V MYTH core and 10-bit DAC IP using Sky130 technology in "just 8-weeks" - Sounds crazy, right.
Why this achievement is special? Because Mansi and Mili are no experienced SoC designers, but M-Tech Students, still studying, but their dedication towards learning and designing SoC idea from scratch in just 8-weeks, is no less than a miracle.
Generally, it takes years to understand what a SoC is, and here they have built SoC, simulated, implemented, found short-comings in existing opensource flow and fixing them as we speak is really commendable
Thanks Mansi Mohapatra and Mili Anand - You made VSD and whole country proud. If more people like you join in, then next decade will be dedicated for semiconductor IP and SoC design startups in the country
Thanks Steve Hoover, Shivani Shah, SKANDHA DEEPSITA SARVEPALLI, Shalini Kanna, Harshitha Basavaraju for RISC-V and 10-bit DAC IP support
