Where Community Powers Innovation
summary
Company claims it turns open source silicon flows into shipped products by lowering cost and complexity for niche builders, backed by a working platform that pairs a 32 RISC V microcontroller chip with drop‑in custom blocks. Workflow runs on an open source river of tools (composites of many OSS projects), produced multiple public designs and photos, attracted Google funding, and is used with paying customers to deliver commercial ASICs for the long tail.
