Very nice!  That sounds really cool from the perspective of someone who got a big kick out of VLSI Design class but never had the budget to run a personal design through to packaged dies.

80 pins and 25 sq mm at 0.13μm with free digital and analog cell designs.

Now, I wonder how quickly the free toolchain will solidify?
