Freedom to build micro-processors
This webinar was conducted on 2nd June 2018
After successful webinar on Making of Raven Chip, this time we take the chip forward and implement using end-to-end opensource EDA tools, and all on efabless cloud. What does this mean to us? It means, you can start innovating on a design, build RTL and do synth/PD/LVS/DRC all using opensource EDA framework and not pay a single penny for license.
The big question How is this possible? Thereby, I welcome you all to my next (follow-up) webinar with Tim Edwards and Mohamed Kassem
About instructors -
Tim Edwards
Tim Edwards has been doing analog VLSI design and collecting and developing open-source EDA tools for over 25 years. He has worked for the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab, startups MultiGiG (bought by Analog Devices) and most recently, eFabless.
Mohamed Kassem
Mohamed Kassem is the cofounder and CTO of eFabless corporation. Prior to launching eFabless in 2014, Mohamed held several technical and global leadership positions within TI's Wireless Business Unit. He joined TI in 2000 at the beginning of the digital telephony revolution fueled by the unprecedented integration of major phone functions on a single SoC. He led the first development of 45nm, 28nm analog & mixed-signal IP functions for wireless applications processors. Mohamed holds a masters degree in electrical engineering from the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.
Run a full physical design flow from RTL design to GDSII, making it ready for tape-out.
For freshers, this course will make them industry ready and might increase their chances of getting placed or work for tier-1 company
For experienced VLSI Physical design professionals, this will give a bigger picture of SoC physical design, which is appplication specific

Tips on order in which you need to learn VLSI and become a CHAMPION:If I would had been you, I would had started with Physical Design and Physical design webinar course where I understand the entire flow first, then would have moved to CTS-1 and CTS-2 to look into details of how the clock is been built.Then, as you all...
Tim Edwards has been designing analog VLSI circuits and systems and developing open-source EDA tools for many years, from the Space Department at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab (1999-2003) to the startup company MultiGiG (bought by Analog Devices) (2004-2015), to his current job at efabless dot com (2016-present).  He operates the website opencircuitdesign dot com.
I think these webinars should have been given by Kunal. Tim Edwards is an expert but not a good explainer. He skips the details and Kunal is very good at details. So that, by just clicking to buttons in Qflow respectively, students or junior vlsi enginners do not understand the details in order to use those in commercial tools. Thanks.
Amazing course!! Helped me understand the Physical Design cycle inside-out
the course structure was good
Not at all useful
Streaming speed is too low sometimes.
Very clear and organized
Good explanation by Tim Edwards & queries handled by Kunal Ghosh
It is really a good course for any intermediate level student or industry professional to understand SoC design right from planning till taking towards fabrication .
