Asynchronous circuits don't need a clock, they run as fast as they can and they require minimal technological assumptions. If properly designed, they can operate in a wide range of voltages and temperatures.

Listen to the talk of Rajit Manohar (Yale) to learn about the theoretical background and their FOSS tools:

The ENISA (the EU's cybersecurity agency) is holding a series of 21 consultations about technical aspects of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). The consultations started already yesterday.

If you can help represent the open-source perspective, please consider participating.

Schedule and registration details:

The General Public License (GPL) is unfortunately not suited for electronic devices and silicon chips in particular. We would like therefore to develop a GPL-compatible hardware licence.

Are you interested to submit a tender? Then do so by July 3:

Join us in less than an hour for a tech talk with Andrew "bunnie" Huang. He's currently working on IRIS: (Infra-Red, In-Situ) inspection of silicon, a project to facilitate the non-destructive verification of silicon chips.

There will be lots of time for questions and comments as he is interested to hear peoples' thoughts about IRIS.

Today at 11.00 CEST (Brussels time) / 17.00 SGT (Singapore time). For the link to the BBB video room see: nlnet.nl/events/20240502/index.

Dear Fediverse,

we want to host a instance for meetings with up to 100 participants.

Can somebody recommend a setup which scales to this number?

We have in mind to rent a dedicated server at Hetzner. Unfortunately, this is difficult to test ahead of the meeting.

@senfcall

We have 4 new open calls for funding for projects that contribute to an open, trustworthy, human-centered internet. Projects must be free and open source and papers published

Deadline is June 1, 12.00 (noon) CEST
#NGI0 #opensource

Join us for the webinar Open source CPU and SoC design : The flow, the challenges and a perspective with Charles Papon on April 11, 2024, 13:00-14:30 CET.

Through the lens of the SpinalHDL, VexRiscv and NaxRiscv projects, Papon will discuss open CPU design, deploying it on hardware, lessons learned and challenges.

For more info and a link to the BBB room see nlnet.nl/webinars/. No need to subscribe, the room is open.
