Welcome to a milestone in the world of VLSI and semiconductors – the VSDOpen2023. This year’s conference is not just another event; it’s a defining moment that promises to reshape the contours of the industry.
India, the land of innovations and revolutions, is on the brink of another technological metamorphosis. And you, the young minds of our great nation, are […]
Read our interview at Electronics for you (EFY) magazine and dive into the transformative world of VLSI with the enlightening article that serves as a beacon for all aspiring electronics enthusiasts. VLSI, or Very Large Scale Integration, isn’t just a technical term; it’s a vision that beckons the future of electronics, breathing life into devices by embedding millions of transistors on a singular chip. This incredible feat of engineering has not only redefined the electronics landscape but has also expanded the horizons of what’s conceivable.
The VSDSquadron educational board provides a unique opportunity for learners to gain hands-on experience in electronics system design and chip design. The board’s open-source nature allows for easy access to IPs, PDKs, and tools, including RISC-V, providing learners with a complete and comprehensive curriculum in these areas. With the board’s built-in modules covering a range of topics such as analog IP design, RISC-V SoC design, PCB design, and more, learners can acquire practical skills and knowledge essential for a career in the field. In summary, the VSDSquadron educational board offers a rich and dynamic learning experience in electronics system design and chip design.

If you have been following VSDOpen for the last 5-years, the theme has been maintained – What VSD did last year and what VSD will do next year
VSDOpen conference is an attempt to bring out some cutting-edge activities especially around open-source EDA with a special focus on skill development using open and proprietary tools. VSDOpen also focuses on milestones achieved by VSD in the past year, and some interesting projects which VSD will be working on in the next year. It’s like the VSD Annual Hands-on meeting where everyone is invited for free and allowed to rate us for our work 🙂
VSD-IIIT Bangalore to set a unique industry-academia model for all colleges across India regarding how tapeout-oriented ASIC design courses can be a part of a full semester curriculum, given the amount of flexibility for curriculum change and mapping to latest industry needs. And thanks to Google/Skywater/efabless for opening up the foundry information, due to which we were able to provide chip design and manufacturing experience to a whole cohort.

Traditional pieces of training have taken an orthogonal shift, post-release of open-source EDA tools and SKY130 foundry. This has brought a huge opportunity for semiconductor ed-tech companies like VSD to close a wide gap within many training companies that have shifted their curriculum from theoretical PDK to real PDK. If you are a student, who is reading this email, do not panic if you are not aware of PDK. This is something which we are covering in the workshop.
The different projects which we have here are 1) modifying RISC-V core so that it recognizes all these instructions to a vector accelerator 2) vector accelerator itself is decoding vector instructions and managing the execution and retirement of these vector instructions

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.
