The open-source chip design ecosystem is one of the way everyone can learn how hardware is designed, verified, and fabricated. This talk will provide an introductory overview of key open-source tools, frameworks, and processes, focusing on the RISC-V architecture, SkyWater PDK, and the OpenROAD autonomous design flow and some other supporting tools. Through my personal exploration, I will highlight how beginners can start contributing, experimenting, and learning in this ecosystem. Attendees will leave with a clear roadmap of resources, practical examples, and a foundational understanding of open-source chip design.
