Experience first steps as a FPGA or ASIC design engineer
It is our goal to provide an easy accessible environment for learners to make their first experiences in digital or analog circuits design for chips. We make it as easy as possible to teach, and not having to spend time on how to install tools on the student machines, might that be a Microsoft-Windows, Apple Mac or Linux machine.
Our turnkey learning environment is optimized for a good learning experience for the students and the teacher.
Your productivity is our passion
Our turnkey digital design tool solution require no installation, does support FPGA from several vendors, provide a consistent and complete development flow for every student for editing, simulation, visualisation and bitstream generation.
It makes it easy for teachers to evaluate deliverables and give valuable feedback. We enable teaching assistents to educate their students from the first day of the semester.
Students can load their design into the FPGA board on their desk from the convenience of their web-browser.
Chipschool FPGA design environment
FPGA CI environment: Verilator, Yosys, nextpnr, gitlab, goCD,
Our Managed Design Environment makes it more convenient to learn how to design mixed signal chips with open source EDA tools.
You want to focus on teaching the principles of ASIC design, not spending your time maintaining a collection of software tools you have chosen as the learning environment for your students. We provide you a dependable turnkey design environment. We make sure that your tools work, all the time.
Stay on top of design files, scrips, simulation testbenches, verification results, and deliverables. Tracking who, what, when, with what tools enables fluid cooperation of students and to track down the source of problems. And if something does not work as you expect, we are here to help. Hosted by us or on premise within your compute infrastructure.
tools we include
gitlab, goCD, Yosys, NGspice, Verilator, IcarusVerilog, openEMS, magic, KLayout CLI, open source PDKs from Skywater, Global Foundries, IHP
