Just listening to The Amp Hour featuring Julia Desmazes.
https://theamphour.com/721-chip-design-for-fun-and-waffles-with-julia-desmazes/
Lots on #hardware / #FPGA / chip design, #tinytapeout, and how to get started.
https://essenceia.github.io/ 👈🧐
So much good stuff to discover!
She uses @archlinux btw. ^^

Just for fun I've been sort of abusing the differential receiver ( clk + data + deserializer ) project that I had in TT08. It occured to me it should work fine for MIPI-CSI. So I wired a RPi v1 camera to it, and capture the deserialized output with a logic analyzer and I can extract image data out of it 🎉
The RPi camera is 2 lanes and I can only capture one, so I'm missing half the data and there are a lot of hacks to compensate for that but ... it's possible to RX MIPI in #tinytapeout !

A Tiny FABulous FPGA on Tiny Tapeout? It's more likely than you think!
Yesterday the TTIHP26a shuttle (https://app.tinytapeout.com/shuttles/ttihp26a) from #TinyTapeout has closed. In it, hundreds of incredible projects.
You can view the full shuttle and its designs here: https://app.tinytapeout.com/projects/3744I had the opportunity to submit an FPGA, which I created using my FABulous LibreLane plugin. For this fabric, I developed a "tiny" tile library that better fits the constraints of Tiny Tapeout.

We now have working #tinytapeout templates for Spade!
For IHP: https://github.com/spade-lang/ttihp-spade-template
For Sky130: https://github.com/spade-lang/ttsky-spade-templateThe IHP shuttle closing in 5 days is full, But! if you are a Swiss resident you can still get on there and get the chip manufactured for free 🇨🇭
This also came with the nice benefit of me finally making swim download the compiler binaries instead of rebuilding for every project, so initial builds of other Spade projects are much faster

Thank you @tnt for bringing up my TinyQV RISC-V SoC on the most recent #TinyTapeout chips to come back from the fab.
These particular IHP chips are funded by the EU, so sadly due to Brexit they can't be shipped to me - but we were able to get Micropython running, and therefore confirm the design is working pretty well.
Primarily due to better IO pads on the IHP chips, this version runs significantly faster than the previous sky130 tapeout - tnt had it running at 100MHz on one version. The other didn't quite make that, but ran OK at 98MHz - that's quite a bit faster than the 64MHz design frequency!

4/5 So congratulations to everyone and thanks to #TinyTapeout for making all of this possible!! I would never have imagined doing a (winning) demoscene entry in 2026 on actual ASIC. This is beyond wild. Last I was involved in the demoscene was (iirc) 1999, and I dearly miss these days, TT makes all the fun come back!

1/5 My two demos, Warp and WhyNot? won 1st place in 'Graphics' (Warp) and 1st place in 'Best for size' and 'Single tile' (WhyNot?) at the #TinyTapeout tt08 demo competition. Huge thanks to the jury for the recognition. This means a lot to me, I started hardware design from scratch in 2018, and this turned into a big adventure.

Stoked to interview @mithro about https://wafer.space this Tuesday – kicking off a new season of #HacksterCafe ! Learning a bunch about custom, low-cost, #OpenSource #silicon fab... Excited for the updates on last Nov's @crowdsupply campaign, and to see what questions people drop in the chat 👀
We're scheduled later than usual due to time zones. Hope to see you there!
