All these advances have led to a new spark in the FOSS IC design area, which continuously picks up pace. Multiple complete RTL-to-GDS flows for digital design are available, combining many tools, and the tools for analog design are also maturing. Finally, two open-source Process Design Kits...

the free and open-source FPGA toolchain for Xilinx 7-series chips, and an enlarging amount of open-source IP cores, development on Zynq 7000 SoCs can be done without a single piece of propriety tool.
Open_PDKs, a PDK installer for open-source EDA tools. Magic, the VLSI layout editor, extraction, and DRC tool. XCircuit, the circuit drawing and schematic capture tool. IRSIM, the switch-level digital circuit simulator. Netgen, the circuit netlist comparison (LVS) and netlist conversion...
“There are arguments in favor of open-source EDA tool sets,” said Mike Borza, principal security technologist atSynopsys. “Some of the open-source EDA tools are quite good, but some still have a long way to go. The issues there are the same kinds of things you see in other types ...
Open_PDKs:A system for installing silicon foundry PDKs for open-source EDA tools The scripts aim to be as general-purpose as possible to allow easy adaptation to new tools, formats, and foundries. Where foundry data is intractably unusable, custom install files can be added to overwrite or...
OpenROAD is a DARPA program to attempt to build a no-human-in-the-loop EDA flow, using only open-source software. The goal is to go from RTL to GDSII fully automatically. In a leading-edge process node. With zero DRC errors. In less than 24 hour...
130nm BiCMOS Open Source PDK, dedicated for Analog/Digital, Mixed Signal and RF Design IHP Open Source PDK project goal is to provide a fully open source Process Design Kit and related data, which can be used to create manufacturable designs at IHP’s facility. ...
