Course Information
Course Overview
Freedom to build micro-processors
This webinar was conducted on 2nd June 2018
After successful webinar on Making of Raven Chip, this time we take the chip forward and implement using end-to-end opensource EDA tools, and all on efabless cloud. What does this mean to us? It means, you can start innovating on a design, build RTL and do synth/PD/LVS/DRC all using opensource EDA framework and not pay a single penny for license.
The big question How is this possible? Thereby, I welcome you all to my next (follow-up) webinar with Tim Edwards and Mohamed Kassem
About instructors -
Tim Edwards
Tim Edwards has been doing analog VLSI design and collecting and developing open-source EDA
tools for over 25 years. He has worked for the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab, startups MultiGiG (bought by Analog Devices) and most recently, eFabless.
Mohamed Kassem
Mohamed Kassem is the cofounder and CTO of eFabless corporation. Prior to
launching eFabless in 2014, Mohamed held several technical and global
leadership positions within TI's Wireless Business Unit. He
joined TI in 2000 at the beginning of the digital telephony revolution
fueled by the unprecedented integration of major phone functions on a
single SoC. He led the first development of 45nm, 28nm analog & mixed-signal IP functions for wireless applications processors. Mohamed holds a masters degree in electrical engineering from the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

This is a webinar and not a course. The platform which is used is not online anymore. The title says Raven chip and shows only a small sub-section in the end. Any free video on the web will show these details.

I think these webinars should have been given by Kunal. Tim Edwards is an expert but not a good explainer. He skips the details and Kunal is very good at details. So that, by just clicking to buttons in Qflow respectively, students or junior vlsi enginners do not understand the details in order to use those in commercial tools. Thanks.
