So, I just open-sourced the project

and people can build their own if they want to try it out.
 Create Your Own Custom Chip for Less than $10KSponsored by Efabless Imagine what your team could create if you could develop a custom analog/mixed-signal chip for under $10K. Efabless provides a pre-designed carrier chip which includes a RISC-V processor and subsystem along with ten square millimeters of customizable area, bundled together on a wafer shuttle targeting SkyWater's 130nm process and supported by open-source or proprietary tools for just $9,750. |
