RGBW Controller ASIC, Part 2 – Design for silicon, clock and reset considerations

In the previous article, I shared the initial steps toward creating an amateurial ASIC design. I had a concept for a colour generator, which I first prototyped directly on an FPGA. I also introduced some of the platforms and companies that make ASIC fabrication more accessible by allowing multiple users to share a single production … Continue reading RGBW Controller ASIC, Part 2 – Design for silicon, clock and reset considerations

Open source ARM based toolchain development and debug on Windows with no emulation

Using a manufacturer independent tooling can have good impacts on autonomy, learning experience and realization on what really works for an engineer regarding the whole embedded development process. I wanted to look for a complete setup working natively in Windows, yet as much as possible open source, to have a manufacturer independent tooling. I will … Continue reading Open source ARM based toolchain development and debug on Windows with no emulation
