Open Source Tcl Electronic Design Automation (EDA) Software

Xschem is a schematic capture program, it allows to create a hierarchical representation of circuits with a top down approach . By focusing on interconnections, hierarchy and properties a complex system (IC) can be described in terms of simpler building blocks. A VHDL, Verilog or Spice netlist can be generated from the drawn schematic, allowing the simulation of the circuit. Key feature of the program is its drawing engine written in C and using directly the Xlib drawing primitives; this gives top speed performance, even on very big circuits. I have succesfully managed to simulate complete VLSI projects with this tool, both digital (Verilog / VHDL) and analog (Spice). Schematics can be printed in SVG, PNG, PDF, formats. XSCHEM runs on Linux or other Unix-likes with Xorg server and on Windows with the Cygwin layer and required tools installed. Can be found also on github: https://github.com/StefanSchippers/xschem

Covered is a Verilog code coverage utility using VCD/LXT/FST dumpfiles (or VPI interface) and the design to generate line, toggle, memory, combinational logic, FSM state/arc and assertion coverage report metrics viewable via GUI or ASCII format. This project is ported to github and can be found at: https://github.com/chiphackers/covered

This project extends the Proximus development environment to support deployment of AI workloads on next-generation AMD Ryzen™ AI processors, such as the Ryzen™ AI 7 PRO 7840U featured in the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 4 ,one of the first true AI PCs with an onboard Neural Processing Unit (NPU) capable of 16 TOPS (trillion operations per second). Originally designed for use with Windows 11 Pro, this runtime was further enhanced to work under Linux environments, allowing developers and researchers to fully utilize the AMD AI Engine across both platforms. This cross-platform support is a major innovation, enabling AI workload portability, integration into CI environments, and deployment into Linux-based research and production pipelines.
