Compact High Speed Design with Lukas Henkel

The Amp Hour · 31 Oct 2024 · Episode 681

What this episode covers

Lukas Henkel, CEO of OV Tech, discusses the design of high-density, open-source System-in-Package (SIP) modules and a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 (CM4) replacement called PyMix 8. He explains the engineering challenges of miniaturization, such as using standard PCB processes to manage costs versus moving to interposer-level packaging, and the strategic benefits of open-source hardware for supply chain resilience. The conversation also covers the use of open-source simulation tools like OpenEMS and Elmer for signal integrity and thermal analysis, visualized via FreeCAD and Blender.

    Building Modular Open Source Electronics with Lukas Henkel

    Lukas Henkel, co-founder of Open Visions Technology, details the engineering behind modular open-source hardware, including a Linux-based smartwatch and a Framework laptop modification. He explains the use of custom System-in-Package (SIP) designs, HDI PCB technology, and Thintronics low-DK substrates to achieve signal integrity in ultra-compact form factors. The discussion covers the challenges of sourcing documentation from major chip vendors like Qualcomm and NXP, and the strategic decision to use off-the-shelf Framework mainboards as an intermediate step for their open-source laptop project.

    Open Source Projects Overview: Laptop and Raspberry Pi CM4 Module

    Lukas Henkel, CEO of Open Visions Technology, discusses two open-source hardware projects: an open-source laptop and a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 (CM4) alternative called Pi.MX8. He details the laptop's progress, focusing on the complex signal integrity challenges of routing high-speed CSI interfaces through flex cables in the display lid. For the Pi.MX8 module, he explains the design choices around the NXP i.MX8M Plus SoC, the inclusion of a Google Coral AI accelerator, and the difficulties of sourcing documentation from consumer electronics manufacturers for open-source initiatives.

    322: Learn Assembly Code

    Ramiro Montes de Oca, CEO and founder of aThing.io, explains his company's 'motionless electronics'—modular, penny-sized components that connect via phone-style connectors without soldering. He discusses the technical architecture of these modules, the emerging chiplet industry standard led by the Chiplet Alliance, and the business challenges of scaling hardware manufacturing during global supply chain disruptions. Montes de Oca also shares insights from exhibiting at CES and the importance of design-for-manufacturing for early-stage founders.

    454: Printf Hello

    Uri Shaked, creator of Wokwi and Tiny Tapeout, explains how Tiny Tapeout democratizes ASIC design by leveraging open-source PDKs and a shared mask strategy to offer chip manufacturing for around $100. He details the technical challenges of building Wokwi, a web-based simulator for embedded systems, including reverse-engineering processor instruction sets and complex peripheral behaviors like SHA and SPI. Shaked also outlines his business strategy, which involves selling space on silicon via Tiny Tapeout and offering Wokwi through a freemium model, VS Code integration, and an on-premise CI/CD solution for professional users.

    Piotr Esden-Tempski of 1BitSquared discusses the company's role in manufacturing open-source hardware, specifically the Glasgow digital interface explorer, the iCEBreaker FPGA board, and the Black Magic Probe debugger. He explains the economic rationale for using an old Quad 4C pick-and-place machine for small-batch production and details how Glasgow uses an FPGA to dynamically generate hardware protocols via the nmigen HDL. The conversation also covers the geopolitical shift toward RISC-V in China, the challenges of debugging legacy industrial equipment, and the importance of documentation and community education in the open-source hardware ecosystem.
