On a Mission to Disrupt the Siloed Silicon Industry

I suppose this is a bit desperate - but it SO hard to find skilled AND passionate CPU/GPU RTL designers or individuals with a solid grasp on the Linux graphics stack. I'm the founder of Chip11 - and we're on a mission to build an ecosystem of open source hardware components. Our progress so far: - we're funded - functional/verified LPDDR4/5 PHY - functional/verified SERDES PHY - GPU RTL running some basic 3d application - CPU RTL running some basic C code We need to finish out the LPDDR4/5 controller as well as the CPU design and GPU design. Finally - we need to write some drivers. We plan to release our entire codebase under GPLV3 after we tapeout a fully functional SOC. Been on HN for a while and am aware it has a stronger bias towards software - but hoping to bump into people with hardware strengths as well. Well rounded individuals are the best. Cannot understate how nice it is to find somebody who can fluently write hardware and then switch to writing Rust at a flick of the wrist.
