Hello Khang, maybe but not that I know of. The VM and the IIC-JKU docker are the two easy ways, and Matt's analog course does have a detailed section on doing it "by hand" on your local system (bit.ly/analog-waitlist ) but, because there are bundled versions, I just haven't focused on manual style installs.

Super cool, I'm thinking about whether we could do something like that with our apprentices (electornics and application & coding). I think we could do some thing like a spi port expander. Is it possible to do bga packages?
@PsychogenicTechnologies 11 сағат бұрын
Hi Lukas, I think the SPI port expander project is a really cool idea to get started with. For packaging: with tinytapeout the answer is no. At this time we're on QFNs and that's that. If you're going direct through efabless and doing a chipignite on your own, there are more options and you can even get bare dies. I'm curious why you'd want BGA: what's the advantage for you, density, low inductance pads, something else?

Hey, it's amzing. Could you please tell , in terms of pdk version compatibility how do you combine your analog layout with the gds of digital design from openlane?
@PsychogenicTechnologies 7 күн бұрын
Hi! What I did for this was look at which version, specifically, had been setup for the analog tools in the VM (easy to tell, since all the $PDK_ROOT etc env variables point to it). Then, I had a system with openlane (github.com/efabless/openlane) already installed, I switched to that and just sync'ed the PDKs using `volare enable --pdk <pdk>`. I'm not *certain* this was required, but it sure can't hurt. Finally, did face some issues in getting the GDS created by the digital hardening into the mixed signal... put my hints on that here: github.com/psychogenic/tt06-analog-wowa/tree/main/openlane Good luck!

I used tkgate, xschem & Magic once for a small project during an internship at a hardware company many years ago. Yes, it's definitely different to most other software you might be knowing in either the foss or closed proprietary world. However, if you require your software to be free, then you most likely won't have any alternatives, because they still seem to be the only mature alternatives in there respective field. & by that I mean I literally once took half a semester's worth of time JUST to find a better free alternatives to tkgate, xschem & Magic, but all alternatives where either a) completely abandoned b) dubiously licensed c) vaporware d) dysfunctional or all of the previous - & I had looked at about 20 different "software projects" which all turned out to be bummers & this entire undertaking turned out to be a giant waste of time. The biggest not yet mentioned downside to these tools is that they are slow, very slow compared to more expensive software, especially the simulation part, because they use Tcl. Tcl is really slow at doing simulations because Tcl is an interpreted scripting language, an interpreted scripting language which is notoriously difficult if not impossible to (pre)compile, like you would if at least it were written in a language like Python, which allows its byte-code to be compiled. Tcl might theoretically be compiled, but for a lot of practical reasons it CANNOT BE COMPILED EFFICIENTLY in general, but only in a very unefficent way if you happen to make use of some very unluckily designed language constructs. The reasons why Tcl has these bad language constructs is that Tcl is a language from the late 80s/early 90s, which was a period when programming languages with no practical considerations or limits were thought of, referred to as the time of irrational exuberance languages by some, whose fallout is still causing late havok in old software projects which still relies on them, because a language which a software project uses is like a marriage without divorce, a binding contract with no cancel option.
@FrankHarwald 16 күн бұрын
6:20 Tcl is more then just "a little weird", it's plain insidious, especially how it's aliasing works is just plain devilish, but worse, most people don't even realize how bad it is until it's too late, which is after you've seen how it can undermine any kind of potential for rational inquiry of any program semantics, which usually happens at the far too late stage because it's not obviously a bad language, on its surface it's the most friendly, practical & easy to use language, it just has this nightmarish string-substitution system on top of everything which seems to come out of a theoretical computer scientist's fever dream which undermines everything.

*Thanks for posting such educational info in such a friendly way!👍🏻 Been residing in china and it’s refreshing to feel like I am having a conversation with a “normal” person. By the way, after the charitable foundation I manage was promoting liberation of Palestine in some nice native Apple platform apps (and app descriptions) on the Apple app stores, some HORRIBLY CORRUPT israeli worms inside Apple HORRIBLY WRONGLY removed the nice native Apple platform apps (and AU plugins) I had worked A LOT to make and also suspended the app distribution membership of the charitable foundation this entire calendar year thus far. So I invented a new type of computer peripheral and a mini computer product that connects wirelessly with HMD (head-mounted display) products and launched a new mini computer startup brand (MCU is ESP32). Anyway, launched that on Indiegogo expecting there would be plenty of customers, but then was sadly reminded how sadly important marketing has seemed to be and how sadly some societies aren’t meritocracies. So now pondering what to do. Literally visiting china and toured the factory where mass manufacturing is planned, but finding customers has been vERY unreasonably (and HORRIBLY unfairly) challenging.*

Obviously the situation has felt dismal. Had invested numerous calendar years into learning native Apple platform software engineering, and had been interviewing for engineering positions at Apple prior to that. After that incident though, Apple hasn’t contacted Me to interview for any. (Regardless of having thankfully successfully passed Apple coding interview sessions involving pointers and binary trees, although was mainly applying for positions doing iOS and iPadOS app engineering) My body is White and I am straighter than an arrow though, regardless of the long hairstyle. So I don’t fit any “diversity quotas” at Apple.

@PsychogenicTechnologies 29 күн бұрын
Well that's an intriguing claim... I mean, I don't think age is as important as relevance (Linux is 33 or something and am guessing it'll be going strong at 50) but regardless... on one hand, with IHP settling on klayout for their open PDK, am guessing there will be some progress on more modern tooling and it looks like the tripoly isn't holding everyone in check even if it were true. On the other: I've actually come to like the tool, ugly as it may look (the only things I care about are availability and openness) and from what I gather magic's "way of thinking" is pretty divergent from the big tools (at least more so than eg klayout), so using it actually increases the barrier for me to give up and go purchase some fat tool's per-seat license. Finally, I see you are also offering tooling, so with magic, klayout and Revolution EDA in the field, feels like there's pressure for advancement, and innovation--that's a win, from the user perspective. Of course, I'm still pretty new to this world, so what do I know.

@@PsychogenicTechnologies Magic was an old tool even 30 years ago and the code base has not changed much in the last four decades. KLayout is an excellent GDS editor but doesn't have the concept design libraries. Linux is indeed 33 years old, but I don't think any of the original code is left in the present Linux code base.
