Designing an Ethernet Switch ASIC

Great project & article. Beyond the use of verilog, I couldn't find a description of the EDA stack. What tooling is used for the physical stages of design: place & route, LVS, DRC, and electrical circuit simulation (SPICE)?

Nice! I've been following waferspace and tiny tapeout loosely but I'm sadly not in a position to be able to work on something right now.

I'm surprised you managed to fit something like this in a TT grid square.

“ Cut-through vs Store-and-Forward”

I had a Google interview collapse because the last interviewer was a Principle Engineer who just couldn’t accept that a switch will ever forward a frame before reading in full and checking the FCS.

I was too much of an idiot to go along with it and instead ended up having an argument with him.
