• A second verification pass is underway using SKY130B supporting reram layers.  This will be required for the MPW-6 and MPW-7 tapeout.

MPW-2 Hardware

• We are still completing final firmware for the Nucleo test setup.  Shipments are delayed to begin this week once final testing is complete.

MPW-7

• We are finalizing the STA timing script for project owners to run with the updated version of Caravel.  

• We expect that to be sent out this week now that the design update has completed.

•  We will give everyone who submitted to MPW7 one week to complete both STA and GPIO user defaults.

Regards,
