Matt VennWant to help build a crowdsourced microcontroller?
You're invited to design peripherals (UARTs, timers, synths, etc.) for a
@risc_v chip that will be fabbed for real!
Take part for free!
Sahil@matthewvenn @risc_v good morning, this is awesome! Does it cost millions to make? I ask as a parent who would love for his childs school and or college to run this kind of collaborative/competition for students to learn about hardware.
@Sahil_n05 Thanks!
We're taping out with ChipFoundry, which is $15k for 100 chips.
As we split the cost between all the projects on the chip, it usually costs about €300 per chip.
But entering the contest is free!
@matthewvenn thanks for replying. I wouldn't know where to start to design a chip, I leaned about processors as part of computer science but that's it. Can't wait to see what you all get.
