“One of the popular types of entries to MPW1 & 2 have been FPGAs. I have previously spoken with Arya Reais-Parsi about their FPGA project submitted to MPW1.

In MPW2 I noticed there were a couple of applications that seemed fairly advanced – especially FuseRISC: 2 RISCV processors with embedded FPGA fabric between them.

Dirk & Nguyen kindly allowed me to interview them about:

  • their FABulous eFPGA framework,
  • support for Yosys & NextPNR,
  • parameterisation of the fabric,
  • blockrams with OpenRAM,
  • their MPW applications and previous tape-outs, and
  • their experience with the open source tools”
