Hi! Today we are pleased to announce the first confirmed talks of the EHSM-2014 conference on the frontiers of open source and DIY (Hamburg June 27-29 2014).
OPEN SOURCE VERILOG HDL SYNTHESIS WITH YOSYS Yosys is the first full-featured open source software for Verilog HDL synthesis. It supports most of Verilog-2005 and is well tested with real-world designs from the ASIC and FPGA world. Learn how to use Yosys to create your own custom synthesis flow and discover why open source HDL synthesis is important for researchers, hobbyists, educators and engineers alike. The presentation covers basic concepts of Yosys and writing simple synthesis scripts. There will be also a workshop covering advanced topics. Yosys is the first step towards a fully open FPGA/ASIC toolchain, and is currently used with vendor place-and-route tools. Speaker: Clifford Wolf writes open source software and is active in the open source and Linux community since the mid 90s. His prior projects include the Linux distribution build kit ROCK Linux and the 3D CAD modeller OpenSCAD. Since 2012 he is working on Yosys. PRINCIPLES OF MASS SPECTROMETRY Mass spectrometry is a very useful tool in solid-state physics research and material analysis. The presentation will cover three spectrometry techniques: Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS), Glow Discharge Mass Spectrometry (GDMS) and Spark Source Mass Spectrometry (SSMS). It will explain the principles of operation and the construction of example devices and their "hearts" - quadrupole and double focusing mass spectrometers. For a mass spectrometer to work, the analyzed material needs to be ionized first. The talk will show how that happens in SIMS, GDMS and SSMS. Finally, the presentation will show sample measurement results. Speaker: Maciej Miśnik is affiliated with the Vacuum Measurement Laboratory of the Tele- and Radio Research Institute in Warsaw, and the Gdańsk University of Technology. MANY OTHER PRESENTATIONS AND TUTORIALS WILL BE ANNOUNCED LATER! Check http://ehsm.eu for updates, tickets, and how to submit your presentation.
