The open source EDA tool chain for the Chips4Makers project
FOSDEM 2018

The Chips4Makers project tries to make low volume ASICs possible for makers and hobbyists. The talk will start with a summary and vision of the Chips4Makers project.

In a second part of the talk the current state of the used tool chain will be discussed. With the Retro-uC project this tool chain is tested and it will be presented what worked and what is candidate for improvement. I do hope I can get feedback from the public and get more inspiration to improve the toolchain in use for future user projects.

The Retro-uC chip itself - a microcontroller with the right instruction set for a retrocomputing enthusiast - is discussed in a talk in the retrocomputing devroom.
