From RISC-V to attempts to create libre/free processes to make your own chips. Various countries have been catching up and helping and building up their semiconducter industries, some even pushing libre/free toolchains. +There has been a lot of progress happening in the last few years regarding libre/free chip technology. From RISC-V to attempts to create libre/free processes to make your own chips. Various countries have been catching up and helping and building up their semiconducter industries, some even pushing libre/free toolchains. E.g. EU sponsors various projects to work in this field to create open toolchains. -Meanwhile others push the boundaries to liberate former closed source toolchains for FPGAs. While an often neglected topic, a lot of work happens by various fantastic players all around the world. We hope to bring some attention to this areas which we basicly all too often take as a given when using computers. +Meanwhile others push the boundaries to liberate former closed source toolchains for FPGAs. While an often neglected topic, a lot of work happens by various fantastic players all around the world. We hope to bring some attention to this areas which we basicly all too often take as a given when using computers or electronics. +We therefore hope to give Open Hardware and their respective toolchains a small platform, all the way from silicone to pcb.
