OpenRISC ASIC chip fundraiser

January 18 is OpenRISC day and the OpenRISC project currently is conducting a fundraiser. We are raising $250,000 to build the world’s first truly open source system on chip processor, tapping into global tech communities where affordable hardware drives growth in embedded systems and digital services. Help make this happen by donating to the project […]

GreenPAK mixed signal array

Knowing of our interest in programmable logic, Mike writes to inform us of a PLD by Silego: Silego programmable mixed-signal arrays are a combination of a very small programmable logic device (10 LUTs) plus some common functional blocks (flops, SPI, counters, PWMs), an ADC and couple of comparators. From the Maker perspective, the packages are […]
