Our latest chip TTSKY25b is on the way to the foundry! At 98% utilization, it includes a WSPR radio transmitter, a tiny GPU a uLinux capable RISCV SoC and so much more!

It's finally happening! Our 6th community built #TinyTapeout chip is heading into Low Earth Orbit on Wednesday the 19th at 19:20 CET! Watch with us on the #SpASICs channel of the Tiny Tapeout discord: tinytapeout.com/discord #SpaceX #ASIC

Our #TinyTapeout 8 chips dies are looking lovely on the new COB (chip on board). Thanks Tamas for the board update and Stuart for getting them bonded!

TinyGPU v2.0. A standalone GPU that can display a model file from Flash.Render 1K tri at 6.5fps in 320x240, 4-bit color. Tested on Basys3 FPGA. Submitted to the upcoming #TinyTapeout shuttle. more spec 🧵. git: github.com/pongsagon/tt...

Last chance to get on our ChipFoundry sponsored TTSKY25b shuttle! There are still 2 discounted dev kits left - tapeout and receive a physical copy of the chip for just €185!

3 days left for our ChipFoundry sponsored TTSKY25b shuttle! We still have 36 early bird dev kits available, so you can tapeout and receive a copy of the ASIC for just €185! Plenty of interesting projects already submitted: app.tinytapeout.com/shuttles/tts...

"You know the interesting thing with semiconductors is there's so much to know that not everyone knows everything... This is actually some really good motivation... to not be afraid of not knowing" A great insight from Nanik Adnani in my latest interview: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVej...

You have just 10 days left to get your #ASIC design submitted to our TTSKY25b shuttle! There are still 70 early bird dev kits left, which mean you can do a full custom tapeout for just €185! Get started here: tinytapeout.com

Going live in about 90 minutes!

Who won our #RISCV peripheral competition? Don't miss the live announcement tomorrow at 19:00 CEST! www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbEW...

Announcing the RISC-V competition winners on a livestream, Wednesday 8th! www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbEW... #RISCV #TinyTapeout

Very excited to see how they turn out when decapped :3 By far the smallest generative art I've done so far 👀

We just packed 237 of your projects into our most packed ASIC to date and submitted it for manufacture. Let’s take a look inside…

Our chips look the best, no competition!

Low power math within few clock cycles. Imagine it, then put it into silicon. Made by Vicharak aka @aksharvastarpara.bsky.social 's team and two FPGA freaks. Check - t.co/vBGGA2i0uX Thanks @mattvenn.net and @urishaked.bsky.social and whole @tinytapeout.com team for making this possible.

13 days left to go - what will *you* make? This shuttle has the highest utilisation we’ve seen at this stage before tapeout! #TinyTapeout #ASIC #opensource Get involved here: tinytapeout.com

At #COSCUP25, @mattvenn.net shared what makes Tiny Tapeout successful, spotlighted some of the most creative projects, and revealed exciting updates (including our work with GlobalFoundries). www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVMj...

If you want to learn #fpga , I can highly recommend anything by @willflux.bsky.social

or get a TT board and learn fpga and design asic as well. bsky.app/profile/roha...

Did you always want one weird extra peripheral on your microcontroller? Do you know a bit of Verilog? If so, this is a great opportunity to get your very own design integrated into a Risc-V SoC and made in silicon! And it's free to take part.

ASICs are cool. FPGAs are ❤️. FPGA brother to tinytapeout ASIC by Michael Bell aka @rebelmike.bsky.social @tinytapeout.com @mattvenn.net @urishaked.bsky.social

Watching the #Micropython test suite running on TinyQV, my Risc-V SoC. An increasing number of tests pass 😅 With the #TinyTapeout competition using it, I'm trying to make sure there's no lurking issues!

Tomorrow on the open source silicon stream, I'll be looking at what's involved to submit to the @tinytapeout.com #RISCV competition. Stream starts at 8:00 PT / 17:00 CEST / 21:30 IST www.youtube.com/live/7VM_dW1... #opensourcesiliconstream #ASIC

If you want to try some ASIC design, this looks like a great opportunity.

Want to help build a crowdsourced microcontroller? You're invited to design peripherals (UARTs, timers, synths, etc.) for a @riscv.org.web.brid.gy chip that will be fabbed for real! Take part for free! tinytapeout.com/competitions...

2025 One Hertz Challenge: A 555, but not as we know it

Join me today on the #opensourcesiliconstream to catch up on the latest news and then make a simple quadrature encoder peripheral for the @tinytapeout.com RISC-V competition! www.youtube.com/live/2JTFwLV...

On the stream today I'll be chatting with @rebelmike.bsky.social about the upcoming RISC-V Tiny Tapeout competition. #opensourcesiliconstream #ASIC #TinyTapeout www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGC9...

My TT06 board arrived! I don't have a design on this but I intend to try RISC-V SoCs on this. @tinytapeout.com @mattvenn.net

Hands-on experience is key in learning analog design - but waiting months for a tapeout slows everything down. Peter Kinget built MOSbius, an "analog FPGA" that lets students experiment with real circuits in real time. Full interview: www.youtube.com/watch?v=abu3...

Our chip viewer just got an upgrade: now you can see microscope images, GDS, local interconnect and jump straight to project files. Spot something cool? Dive right into the design. Explore TT07 here: tinytapeout.com/decap/tt07 Try out our new layer selections with the button at the top right.

Should we make a mini MOSbius and include it on all our future tapeouts?

We're back after a 3 week pause! Join me today at 17:00 CEST for the next installment of the open source silicon stream. After catching up on the news we'll take a look at the Renaldas Zioma's Z80 and try to run some programs. #opensource #silicon #stream www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ERv...

This is the moment Rej's open source Z80 woke up and said hello! After Zilog’s April 2024 announcement, ReJ quickly taped out a drop-in replacement to preserve retrocomputing and legacy systems. Taped out on TT07, it's a landmark in democratizing chip design.

Yesterday I submitted my first #generative art piece to be baked into a chip! 🤯 Huge thanks to @tinytapeout.com for the collaboration. Excited to explore silicon as a medium. Catch the full stream here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSV3... (featuring @psychogenic.bsky.social#generativediscussing spASICs! 🚀)

Today!

We recently sat down with Tibor Herman to talk about HUNITY, the satellite that’s taking our chips to space. We dug into past missions, how it maneuvers in orbit and the test framework that’ll run your code. Catch the full interview here: youtu.be/SRuBDMZZiI0

IHP25b - our 4th open source chip with IHP is now open for digital design submissions! We’re very happy to have our next shuttle open and we’re already looking forward to seeing another great set of designs manufactured onto custom silicon!

Giving a @tinytapeout.com workshop at hardwear.io USA 2025 (Friday May 30). Hope to see you there! hardwear.io/usa-2025/spe...
