Tiny Tapeout 4 launch webinar 

There's no shortage of digital design tutorials and guides on the web. Tinytape out is just a way to commit designs to sand. Nothing is stopping you from simulating your design until your head turns blue without ever touching github. I recommend playing around with Icarus Verilator and supplementing with a few designs in FPGAs, but be aware that ideal design strategies for ASIC and FPGA are vastly different (grossly: in FPGA memory and registers are cheap and wires expensive, while it's the opposite in ASIC).

As tommythorn mentioned, you can do most things "manual style". But as I was prepping TT03 I felt the same way--it seemed a waste to push and then trigger all the actions, and wait after github to be done to realize there was some bug in the test framework or something. So I'd created a rough bash script that basically went through all, or most, of the github actions and replicated the process exactly. That way, I could do a push only when confident. I'll try to clean that up, document or demo it a bit, and put it online.

@@PsychogenicTechnologies Hi, we are preparing a design for TT04. Would you mind to share your script, even in the current messy state?

@@JanKral-pu6np Hi... yes, I actually have to do an update to the TT test framework, so I'll try to do both those things at once and notify here when I put it online!

@@PsychogenicTechnologies Did you ever get to complete this update ?
