We're actually thinking it makes more sense to tape out a single "ip library" chip

Instead of repeating projects on every chip

That sounds great!

I somewhat like the idea of having a bunch of configurable things that is on every Tiny Tapeout from the "well if your design doesn't work, there is a bunch of stuff to still play with" and the "once you have finished playing with your own design you can still do new and interesting things".

@urish - Or are you talking about a second chip that goes on the tiny tapeout board?

Separate chip that goes on its own breakout

We also like the idea. But then, spending 10% of **each** chip on an FPGA is expensive, and we'll have to roll that into the silicon price. And in any case, there are always some interesting designs on every chip from other users, to address "something to play with"

I guess when you are selling out on slots, I can understand that.
