@MJVARMA Great to hear you are interested in the TensorCore project. There are a handful of different angles we can take depending on your interest and skill level.

@kartikeyrai-me

Hello everyone, my name is Kartikey, and I am from India. I am currently a Pre - Final year student at Bennett University, and is pursuing my degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering. In past, I have worked on designing RISC - V where I implemented entire RV32I instruction set along branch prediction core using Verilog as HDL and Xilinx Vivado. At the time when I am writing this message, I currently have around 1.5 years of coding in Verilog, and along with RISC - V core, I have worked on other projects using Verilog.

I wanted to contribute to this project "RISC-V core with AI Acceleration synthesizable with open source tools" because it meets part of my skill set and I can learn more things on my way.

Hello everyone, I am Kruti. I am a 2nd year ECE student. I have basic knowledge of Verilog and have made a simple microprocessor. I am very much interested in learning more about RISC-V, especially on the project Idea "Compressed instruction support for SERV". I would like to contribute to it whether or not I get GSoC.

nice spirit @krutideepanpanda! I hope that you will get selected.

Hello Everyone, I am Anjani, a pre-final year student at SATI India. I am preparing for the "Logical Equivalence Checks with LLHD" project as a GSoC student. I hope I will make some good friends here from FOSSi and librecores community.

I successfully build the CIRCT project and start searching for good first issue to take on before the application deadline.

Hello everyone, I'm Nitish, a final year Electronics and telecommunication student at SPIT. I was interested in block-based circuit diagram. How should I start working on my proposal, any ideas?

Anjani K shukla

@skanjani

Hi @Nitish-byte! Looking at description of project it seems you must familiar with TL-Verilog, If you are not please visit their website and complete a tutorial. You should also familiar with MIT Scratch project. You should try to build the project and fix one or two issue. It may give some confidence to you. Also gives a better impression in you project proposal. All the scratch projects are under LLK organization on GitHub. See the link- https://github.com/LLK. Then you should also make yourself familiar with Google Blocky project. I see there is also a blocky-sample project under the same google organization. You might want to try a few example. Again fixing some minor issues from Blocky project will surely give a bright impression on your prospective mentors. Good luck for application!

Hello, I'm Usman, a final year computer science undergrad. I have designed a risc v 5 stage pipelined core, implementing the rv32i instruction set to get an idea of the opensource hardware. Currently, i am working on a software development kit that will program our SoC that @zeeshanrafique23 is leading.

I would like to like work on projects in the software domain that we can take as part of gsoc2021, if anyone is interested or has any ideas, please discuss. Thanks

@Nitish-byte

Thank you @skanjani for the response, I'll start working on points that you've suggested. It's fine @stevehoover I just wanted the general idea on how to start working.

Hi, I am moaaz, a senior student in nano-electronics department,
I have a good experience in Verilog and VHDL for both FPGA and ASIC flows. with a one year freelancing in the field of digital VLSI.

I want to participate in one of the projects propossed by FOSSI foundation in GSOC this year,
But I don't know how to communicate with the mentor !!!!

can anyone help me ?

@adithyasunil26

Hello, I am Adithya Sunil and I am a 2nd-year Electronics and Communication Engineering student at IIIT Hyderabad. I have previously worked with verilog for various projects and assignments and I have some experience working with ISAs. I found the project idea for porting the BaseJump STL to FuseSoC quite interesting and I have submitted a draft proposal for the project. It would be very helpful to me if my proposal can be reviewed by a mentor so I can use the feedback to fix the shortcomings.
Thank you!

Hello everyone!

@minifyit_twitter

I'm brazilian C.S. student looking for a final project that involving Verilog and RISC-V. I'm got very interested in the project proposed by @olofk but looks like other people that have more experience in the topic are applying. I'm very new in the area and GSoC isn't a requirement. As I'm going to dedicate +500 hours into it, I may be able to help with other projects or tasks. Do you guys recommend any specific way to learn more about FOSSI and the projects under it?

Nitish-byte

@Nitish-byte

Hello @stevehoover , I have made the changes suggested by you in the proposal. Could you please review it again and give the feedback.

Hi @stevehoover , hope you have reviewed my draft proposal for the project, Block Based Circuit Design. Shall I submit the Final Proposal then?

@skanjani

I think there could be many proposals for a project and mentors may have mentoring two or more projects. So I request students to have little patience. It may not possible to have multiple round of feedback for each proposal when mentors also have an regular job. Don't feel nervous, GSoC intention is to just involve students to get them experience of real world projects. Relax and focus on learning from their respective open source community. Best of luck to all!

It's great to see so many people interested in GSoC this year. I just wanted to mention again that SymbiFlow are also in GSoC this year and have projects around open source silicon and EDA. Make sure to check out what they have too https://symbiflow.github.io/

Hello @stevehoover @Jbalkind @olofk @jeremybennett, I want to work on BeagleConnect - Low-Power Wide Area Networking Project because I am familiar with GPIO, ADC Drivers, and C language.

So, can you please suggest to me how do I contribute to this repository.

Hey Mohit. Looks like there's some confusion here. This room is meant for Free and Open Source Silicon Foundation (FOSSi) and not Beagleboard.org

Okay, it was sent there by mistake
Thanks @shivampotdar:matrix.org

@Nitish-byte

Hey @ninja3011 you're from VJTI college right.... I'm from SPIT. You're studying in which year? About the project I have started working on developing some basic custom blocks like adders, multipliers, etc. which can be useful for integrating it in circuit flows. I would like to know your approach and ideas on this project too !!!

@Nitish-byte Yeah! I am in Second Year. Right now, my finals are on. Can I contact you post 3rd march? I would love to compare and share approaches. Just before the finals, I was reading up on the specs of TL Verilog on tlx trying to brainstorm ways of implementations in JS.

Nitish-byte

@Nitish-byte

@ninja3011 Yeah sure!!! You mean post 3rd May right...

@ninja3011

Today I got a bit of time to work on blocky again, I was looking at the generators that come fully built into blocky, mainly javascript.js. It seems the closest to ours compared to lua or python.

Most of our logical ops will use similar code. I think we can need to have a complete list of keywords in TL-Verilog, I have not been able to find one till now. It can be compiled if not there.

https://github.com/google/blockly/blob/master/generators/javascript.js

There are a lot more things that get added with further documentation but I feel 1a itself provides a solid foundation to build a base generator.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/19wJ1jzm5gvQE_tP-rFZLs8Sj-TNZRaeC-mDVyqGp3-g/pub

@Nitish-byte check out the generator and specs sheet and let me know if you feel similarly.

@ninja3011

@stevehoover, thank you! , the specs seem like the docs I have been reading. I'll keep the reference card at hand while coding, it will be helpful.
I have gone through the tutorials, but ill do a quick revision again.

Ninad Jangle

@ninja3011

I had my assignment week and finals in the last 2 weeks, so I was not able to do major work till now. I will be able to dive into the heavy work from tomorrow ( finals ending )

Nitish-byte

@Nitish-byte

Hey @ninja3011 thanks for the update I read the documents sent by you, how was your exam? Actually currently I'm busy with my final year evaluations which will end on 12th May. Hopefully I could dedicate much of my time on this after that. About these documents, I didn't exactly understand the correlation with the generator code for javascript, could you elaborate on that? @stevehoover thanks for the reference. @ninja3011 I'll till then try to implement some flows using the algorithms in makerchip tutorials and your HDL doc too was helpful and gave me some idea.
