It was the first time we enabled 4 tile high designs, enabling a monster crowd sourced RISC-V microcontroller competition called Asteroid. At 60k standard cells, this is the biggest design so far on Tiny Tapeout.

And finally here’s a cool current steering DAC that’s designed to drive a VGA monitor by Anton - good to see your mixed signal skills evolving Anton!

It’s great to see people using our service to test bigger mixed signal designs like OpenRAM. In this test, Jesse put a tiny 16x32 RAM inside a 4 tile digital design.

We have our first commissioned art from @bleeptrack.de , “Cross Stitch Creatures” - the first of 4 in a series exploring silicon art.

Mitch Altman has long inspired us, and as a tribute we included an ASIC version of his classic TV-B-Gone universal off button for TVs. We also took the opportunity to test Sylvain Munalt’s ROM.

Inspired by Peter Kinget, we commissioned Andrew Kang to create a Mini MOSBius especially for us. The idea is to enable analog designers to get faster feedback on their circuit designs with an analog FPGA.

Guess it is time to finally finish the USB-C Fomu version :-)

100% legit. @nextpcb.bsky.social are wonderful supporters of the KiCad project and we will be making a blog post about this new OSHW site soon

Did you say that has an iCE40 on it?

Well, it blinks.

The whole you have to unplug it from your computer and plug it into an SD card slot that doesn’t act as an SD host to run the design thing may get old rather quickly.

Depends on the demand. I would like to get to once a month but once a quarter will probably be the initial frequency.
