Turn curiosity into real power. Students design and build their very own RISC-V computer processor from the ground up, in a program powered by Samsung Semiconductor India Research (SSIR). They program it on a real FPGA board, with no prior experience required. It's a hands-on chance to bring an idea to life. All students in grades 6-12 are invited to join the adventure.
Qualified Participants take home a Made-in-India FPGA board at the end of the program.
Decode how computers work, create a processor like a brain built from LEGO blocks, and light it up on an FPGA board that belongs to the participant.
Only Karnataka Participants
All participants have been invited through the registered email.
Basics of Bits, RISC-V, and Tools.
ABI (Application Binary Interface) & Assembly.
The top 500 participants are selected to continue.
Top 500 receive their VSDSquadron FPGA boards.
Digital Logic (continues right after selection).
Building a Single-Cycle RISC-V Core (Simulation).
Five-Stage Pipeline & Hazards.
FPGA Bring-Up & Peripheral Exploration.
Those steps are made of instructions. The set of instructions your chip understands is called an ISA. In this course, that ISA is RISC-V.
Check out what previous learners built on their FPGA boards.
Two live sessions a week · 6 weeks · Your own FPGA board included
No. We start from zero. If you know basic math and a little programming, you're set.
No. Labs run in your browser. We ship the FPGA board and guide you through flashing it.
A certificate, your own FPGA board, and a working mini-computer you designed.
Two 90-minute live sessions per week over six weeks, plus TA office hours.
Content inspired by VSD's high-school FPGA program. Logistics: online cohort, twice-weekly live sessions, FPGA board included; system requirements and structure per official proposal.

Welcome to Ethical RISC-V IoT Workshop
The “Ethical RISC-V IoT Workshop” at IIIT Bangalore, organized in collaboration with VSD, is a structured, educational competition aimed at exploring real-world challenges in IoT and embedded systems. Participants progress through three stages: building an application, injecting and managing faults, and enhancing application security. The event spans from May 9 to June 15, 2024, culminating in a showcase of top innovations and an award ceremony. This hands-on hackathon emphasizes learning, testing, and securing applications in a collaborative and competitive environment.
Welcome to the World’s only online conference in Semiconductor Industry VSDOpen Conference. With enormous support and global presence of audience from different segments of industrial lobby and academia made a highly successful event. Evolution is change in the genetic makeup of a population over time, online conference is one kind evaluation everyone adapt soon.
VSD offers online course in complete spectrum of vlsi backend flow from RTL design, synthesis and Verification, SoC planning and design, Sign-off analysis, IP Design, CAD/EDA automation and basic UNIX/IT, Introduction to latest technology – RISC-V, Machine intelligence in EDA/CAD, VLSI Interview FAQ’s.
Current Reach – As of 2021, VSD and its partners have released 41 online VLSI courses and was successfully able to teach ~35900 Unique students around 151 countries in 47 different languages, through its unique info-graphical and technology mediated learning methods.
