What this episode covers

Hosts Dave Jones and Chris Gammell discuss the challenges of engineering management, the importance of context in design, and the relentless pressure of content creation. They analyze a new Triad Semiconductor technology, the Via ASIC, which combines FPGA and FPAA capabilities for reconfigurable mixed-signal design. The conversation shifts to a critical hardware failure where Jones discovers the LT3080 voltage regulator has a silicon errata that causes it to blow up under specific conditions, highlighting the risks of relying on manufacturer application notes.

    More Tales from the Bringup Lab

    Bryan Cantrill and the Oxide Computer Company team, including Arjen Roodselaar, Eric Aasen, and Matt Keeter, detail the bring-up of Sidecar, a switching board based on the Intel Tofino 2 ASIC, and Gimlet, their compute node. They discuss the extreme difficulty of designing the Power Delivery Network (PDN) to handle 300-amp load steps with only 7 millivolts of margin, requiring a custom 'load slammer' for testing. The team also recounts debugging firmware and hardware issues, including TOML parsing errors, slew rate mismatches on SPI traces, and a critical 500-ohm pull-down resistor error on the T6 NIC that nearly halted production.

    029 - Old Timey Name Droppin'

    Philip Freidin, a veteran engineer and consultant with experience at AMD and Xilinx, discusses the evolution of the semiconductor industry, the challenges of reverse engineering FPGAs, and his current projects. He explains why reverse engineering an FPGA bitstream is often futile compared to functional analysis, detailing the complexity of VLIW architectures and encryption. Freidin also shares his experience creating the open-source OshChip and his new educational initiative, DSP-for-KIDS.

    203: Save My Board

    Charlie Ladd, a principal electrical engineer with experience in medical, FAA, and consumer products, discusses bridging the gap between hardware and firmware. He details his work on an oil quality sensor for VSI Oil and emphasizes the importance of designing for failure, using redundancy, and providing clear documentation like 'PickIO' spreadsheets and 'Theory of Ops' to help firmware engineers debug boards safely. Ladd also shares insights on the evolution of the industry, the value of mentorship, and how to stay current with new components through trade magazines and development boards.

    Integrating Hardware and Software Teams

    Jon Masters, joined by engineers from Oxide Computer Company including Nathaneal Huffman, Matt Keeter, and Timon, discusses the systemic silos between hardware and software teams and the industry's failure to integrate them. They highlight specific technical challenges such as the perishable nature of Tachyon 100G PCB prepreg material, the complexity of DDR5 training, and the reliance on proprietary EDA tools like Altium and KiCad. The group advocates for open-source hardware tooling, breakout boards like the 'gimlet' and 'dimlet', and educational resources to bridge the knowledge gap and reduce the high cost of hardware errors.

    For Want of a Resistor

    Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal host members of Oxide Computer Company’s operations and electrical engineering teams, including CEO Steve Tuck, Robert "RFK" Keith, Eric Aasen, and Scott Tagwerker, to discuss a critical supply chain crisis involving a PCIe clock buffer from Microchip. The team nearly halted production when they discovered the substitute part required a 49.9-ohm termination resistor that was missing from the design, causing clock signals to fail. After a frantic debugging effort involving rework of tiny 0201 resistors and identifying a copy-paste error in part numbers, they implemented a stencil change to integrate the fix into normal manufacturing, saving the production line. The episode highlights the extreme fragility of hardware supply chains and the importance of human engineering judgment in debugging physical failures that AI or automated systems might miss.
