Note : Work under Progress

Collection of installation and Tutorials on using open-source tools in VLSI domain. Baby steps in democratizing IC design and research for one and all.

EDA Major Players

• majorplayer1 : U.S. pricing for a one-year license starts at $140,000 -- $100,000 -- $15,000
• majorplayer2 : A one-year license for Certify costs $45,000, and a perpetual license costs $115,000. pricing for Design Compiler FPGA starts at $29,000
• majorplayer3 : integrated IC tool suite costs about $25,000

Roughly 10000 $ --> 7,50,000 ₹

EDA tools are very expensive, essential to R&D work

The dilemma facing EDA vendors is that a high price puts the tool out of reach of the small- and medium-sized R&D companies, severely limiting the market, but a low price may not generate enough volume to pay the bills. 

Our Aim is to develop an open-source Ecosystem in VLSI where anyone can undertake research projects using existing and new open-source tools. installation and usage of such open source tools are quite tricky and this is an attempt at developing a community of support ,guidance and quality Research work using the tools.
