How does one learn about designing chips, ISAs and the manufacturing process? I feel like it’s hard info to got or, at least, to know how to get started. Terrific initiative, either way. Open-source chips must be the way.

This story is very focused on digital architecture, particularly risc-V. There is another big issue with open source processes, sky water 130nm is the most accessible, but expanding PDK (process development kit) is also a big deal for open source users to be able to build hardware.
