description: >-
  CHIPS Alliance is a Linux Foundation project (founded in 2019) that develops
  open-source hardware (silicon) and tools, including CPUs, SoC subsystems,
  peripherals, IP blocks, and FPGA tooling. The Alliance fosters
  collaboration among 50+ member organizations across industry (AMD,
  Antmicro, Google, Microsoft, SiFive, Intel, Nvidia, Cisco, Synopsys,
  Microchip, SanDisk and others) and academia (Berkeley, Stanford, MIT, and
  more) to lower the cost of hardware design, accelerate innovation in
  silicon, and provide an open and accessible alternative to proprietary
  EDA flows. CHIPS Alliance hosts more than a dozen technical projects
  including Chisel (Hardware Construction Language), F4PGA, Caliptra
  (Root of Trust), VeeR (RISC-V cores), Surelog/UHDM (SystemVerilog
  parsing), and the FPGA Interchange format. The Alliance does not publish
  a centralized REST API; technical assets are distributed via GitHub
  repositories under github.com/chipsalliance and member-driven mailing
  lists.

      Catalog of open-source hardware and tooling projects hosted by CHIPS
      Alliance, including Chisel, F4PGA, Caliptra, VeeR, Surelog/UHDM, FPGA
      Interchange format, OpenPRoT, Intel Compiler for SystemC, FPGA tool
      perf, and SV tools. Project assets are distributed via GitHub
      repositories under the github.com/chipsalliance organization. There
      is no centralized HTTP API; integrations occur through Git, package
      managers, and per-project release artifacts.
