Hi,
This seemed like it might be of intrest to someone here:

It seems that is a 130nm fab, based in the USA somewhere.
It came up in the "Debian Electronics BOF" session at DebConf20 (which is going on this week, as an online event):
https://debconf20.debconf.org/talks/86-debian-electronics-bof/
The video of that session should appear within a day or so.
Cheers, Phil.

yes.
it is around 25 sq mm and an 80 pin QFP fixed package.
LibreSOC is working with chip4makers and the tapeout deadline is at the end of october.

Very nice! That sounds really cool from the perspective of someone who got a big kick out of VLSI Design class but never had the budget to run a personal design through to packaged dies.
80 pins and 25 sq mm at 0.13μm with free digital and analog cell designs.
Now, I wonder how quickly the free toolchain will solidify?
