make it easy for anyone to build real projects, and build an overall understanding of how electronics and hardware actually work.
for open source hardware enthusiasts.
- ic design fundamentals and core electronics
- rtl design and hardware architecture
- verification methodologies (simulation, assertions, formal)
- physical design and rtl-to-gds flows
- analog, mixed signal, and cmos circuit design
- semiconductor physics and device modeling
- open source and industry standard eda workflows
- automation, scripting, and reproducible design flows
- microcontrollers, embedded systems, and computer architecture
- spice and circuit simulation
- everything else related to electronics
instead of spreading effort across many disconnected tools or half-finished experiments, the focus here is on:
- building complete, well-thought-out projects
- understanding why design decisions are made
- documenting what worked, what failed, and what was learned
- developing familiarity with real-world design flows through practice
not restricted to nitc. anyone working on or learning open source hardware is welcome to use this, fork this, contribute to this. happy to see anyone using it.
- explore and learn from the repositories as they grow
- contribute projects, notes, experiments, or improvements
- share alternative approaches or corrections
- use the content responsibly for learning and research
