BTW: if you want to be a real hardware hacker, it just can't be done with open source tools. The root obstacle is that link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor_fabrication_plant[Silicon fabs] don't reveal their design rules, which implies that there are no decent standard cell libraries, which implies that you can't get decent power performance and area estimates, see: https://www.quora.com/Are-there-good-open-source-standard-cell-libraries-to-learn-IC-synthesis-with-EDA-tools/answer/Ciro-Santilli The only thing you can do is purely functional designs with Verilator, but you will never know if it can be actually produced and how efficient it can be.
