- Open-source EDA developers and custom IC designers
- Worth noticing
- Its console is designed to journal named commands, so menu actions, shortcuts, and scripts can be replayed.
Field notes
The page says the project grows out of OpenLayout, a custom-design flow for the ASAP7 7 nm FinFET PDK, and shows an INT8x8 compute-in-memory array with dimensions of 6.05 × 1.12 µm. Its proposed rule language builds checks into a graph, while the console concept records named commands in a replayable journal. ReticleIC is marked in development; the page says OpenLayout remains the place where work happens until the first release.
