Yeah (?) new project on a new process: the 450 page design manual is not well-organized, and doesn’t contain all the information I need. Some of that information can be found in two other similar sized tomes. How can anyone succeed on this process? I’m sure they must simply guess at how to lay-out the devices and then let verification find the errors. I may do the same. In theory, we have about three to four weeks to finish this chip, and easily eight weeks of layout to do. It should be fun.
Band tonight is a total “thrasher” set (it’s “youth” week at church), and I’m on electric. I’m REALLY looking forward to this – I’m a metal-head at heart, even when praising Jesus! It’s too bad we don’t have more youth playing the instruments; about half of our youth band has gone to college. I guess we’ll need to train up a few more.
