Hi John,

Thanks for joining the CHIMES community web site. We are busy adding some initial content and starting to lay out how the IKC will develop. I have started to add some points under the Core Design including a 'pathway to manufacture' for you. Ibrahim will be in touch to talk about Projects. We are all looking forward to working with you within the IKC.

I am trying to get a view from people about how they are fixed for design tool support. There is an evolving discussion about 'Package Assembly Design Kit (PADK) as opposed to the traditional Process Design Kit (PDK) files used within the semiconductor industry to model the foundry fabrication process in the EDA design tools. We are planning some road mapping and development in this area. Perhaps something to discuss?  

John.
