Open source chip pioneer eFabless has shut down over the weekend, hitting the latest shuttle runs for the Tiny Tapeout project.
eFabless, based in Palo Alto, California, had been struggling to raise funds in recent months. “Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, we were unable to complete our latest funding round, As a result, eFabless has shut down operations until further notice,” said Mike Wishart, CEO of eFabless, which provided an open source chip design flow as well as wafer shuttle services.
