| Finde | ssvb, mafm: OpenPiton is also lacking a lot of things a real chip would need because we had to lower design risk | 17:36 |
|---|---|---|
| Finde | there's no BIST on the rams and no efuse | 17:36 |
| Finde | our jtag is crap | 17:36 |
| Finde | well not crap | 17:36 |
| Finde | but basically we made a lot of decisions so that we could maximise our chances of getting a working chip | 17:37 |
| Finde | but it does not make for a chip you can trust more widely | 17:37 |
| Finde | we only got ~100 dies | 17:37 |
| Finde | and yes, 6x6mm is quite large so it cost us a lot to get those 100 chips | 17:37 |
| Finde | the package doesn't have many pins and isn't that well matched to the size of the die | 17:37 |
| Finde | it's really all there to prove out some research ideas and we'll continue to improve the platform and open source more parts so that we can build something better in the next iterations | 17:38 |
| Finde | we did our chip as a multi-project wafer and so to get more, you have to pay for more of everyone's chips, not just your own | 17:38 |
