And finally, the SediCi PC - a retro-styled microcomputer implemented on a low-cost #FPGA, and built around a custom 16-bit CPU.
Yes, you can download the Verilog.

Final #Hackster round-up of the week, and today's three starts with the news from @matthewvenn that Tiny Tapeout is running another demoscene-inspired contest - and you can get a free tile for your entry!
(You don't get a chip for that, tho' - you'll have to pay for the devkit to actually get your hands on your creation, along with everyone else's on the multi-project die.)

Big milestone for the #OpenTitan hardware root of trust project: the open-silicon design is now shipping in commercial Chromebooks, on-shelves now thanks to a silicon implementation by Nuvoton.

Andrew "buinnie" Huang's Dabao, which I wrote about back in January, is now crowdfunding: under $10 (plus shipping, admittedly) for a microcontroller board built around the Baochip-1x - a #RISCV part with "mostly open RTL," and packaged in a way you can peer beneath the silicon's surface with an infrared torch and a modified inspection camera.

And finally, for now, some news from lowRISC and the CHERI Alliance: the launch of the COSMIC Project, "CHERI for Operational Safety in Memory-Isolated Cores" - an open-source secure enclave for systems-on-chips, built atop the OpenTitan project and implementing the Capability Hardware Enhanced RISC Instructions.
It'll be "commercial quality," they say - and OpenTitan's already shipping in Google's Chromebooks.

Live now! Join @crowdsupply @helenleigh for a conversation with Tim Ansell (@mithro) about wafer.space, a new way for chip designers to easily turn a design into real, working chips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEOmnN8IAjs

🌐 When open silicon meets radio waves: Two Tiny Tapeout chips + cosmic serendipity = DIY Software-Defined Radio. An ADC meets RF mixer in silicon matrimony, birthing a quantum-punk rebellion against closed hardware. Democracy hits the airwaves at $100/chip 📡🧪 #OpenSilicon https://www.hackster.io/news/sylvain-munaut-combines-two-tiny-tapeout-projects-to-create-an-open-silicon-software-defined-radio-0bc2981b3ff3

He recibido la CLEAR FPGA de @efabless
: La primera FPGA Libre que es Silicio abierto: Se ha fabricado en un chip, y TODOS sus ficheros de diseño son libres, así como todo el software usado para su fabricación en el chip. Es un gran avance

Excited to have ordered some /properly/ open-source hardware. One of @matthewvenn's VGA clock #TinyTapeout kits.
Plus it includes a donation to @oshwassociation

Now at @crowdsupply #teardown2023:
"Design and Fund Your Custom ASIC in Three Months" from Mohamed Kassem of eFabless

Another funder is the US govt, through #DARPA:
"...#POSH program seeks to enable mathematically provable secure electronics and create an open source hardware IP ecosystem, along with accompanying validation tools... The program also aims to develop and release a number of silicon-proven analog and digital IP blocks on an open source platform to serve as a foundation for rapid design of complex secure SoCs at leading edge technology nodes."

It disturbs me to see Goggle trying to claim thought leadership over a major area of Open Hardware dev, through things like their sponsorship of the Free and Open Source Silicon Foundation, the stewardship organisation of LibreCores.org (now retired). This funding is obviously useful to the organisations and projects that receive it, and allows them to do good work. But it also allows Goggle to subtly shape their priorities, and not only by selecting what they do and don't fund.

"The SkyWater Open Source PDK on Github is listed as a collaboration between Google and SkyWater Technology Foundry to provide a fully open source PDK and related sources. This so that one can create manufacturable designs at the SkyWater foundry, that target the 130 nm node. Open tools here should mean a far lower cost of entry than is usually the case."
