Two weeks until tapeout
Summary
Two weeks until tapeout is a detailed personal account of an open-source silicon project aiming to tape out a 2x2 systolic array on GF180nm. It covers design choices (systolic array, JTAG TAP, two clock domains), validation tools (Cocotb, OpenOCD), firmware integration, and the broader Open Source Silicon flow, highlighting constraints and methodology for rapid, hands-on hardware development.
