Before you know it, another Chinese New Year is coming.

In everyone's continuous work for many days, the progress of EDA tool development is a little ahead of schedule.

If nothing else, within a month, the first version of the EDA tool can be completed.

At this time, some employees of Fulong Technology took the initiative to apply for voluntary overtime.

"Mr. Luo, let's not go home for the New Year this year. Now the project is about to be completed, we will work harder and strive to complete the entire set of EDA tools in the first month and enter the testing stage."

"That's right, Mr. Luo, it's okay if you don't go home for the New Year for a year. Every day is very important now, so try not to delay it."

Luo Wenkun did not expect that these employees of his would be able to offer to work overtime during the Chinese New Year, and they would not even be able to go home.

You know, most of the company's employees don't live in Jijing, and they may not return home once a year.

It's not that they don't want to go home, it's just that they would rather abandon Xiaojia for the sake of everyone.

They were able to have such a willingness, which moved Luo Wenkun very much.

Because more and more employees voluntarily applied to work overtime in the company during the Chinese New Year, Luo Wenkun had to explain this to everyone in a unified manner.

"In principle, the company does not encourage everyone to work overtime during the Chinese New Year. Our work is indeed very important, but it will not affect our normal life. The Spring Festival is a traditional festival in China. Going home for the New Year and reuniting with your family is our responsibility. The rights they should have. The leaders of the various departments of the company should not encourage everyone to work overtime during the Chinese New Year for any reason."

Luo Wenkun really came from the bottom of his heart and didn't want everyone to work overtime during the Chinese New Year.

This is a very difficult thing for those employees whose families are not in Jijing.

It is completely acceptable to delay the progress for a few days.

Luo Wenkun was a little worried, because these employees who offered to work overtime made other employees feel embarrassed and went home for the New Year.

But in order to accompany these employees who volunteered to work overtime, Luo Wenkun must also set an example and stick to the company with the employees.

After hearing the news, Xu You, like Luo Wenkun, chose not to go home for the New Year.

Due to Xu You's current status, even if he goes home to celebrate the New Year, it will be more troublesome.

Since so many employees offered not to go home during the Chinese New Year, Xu You didn't want to go back and forth anymore, and stayed in Jijing so that he could keep abreast of the latest progress of the project.

Knowing that Xu You will not go home this year, Xu Zhou decided to bring his family to Jijing to visit Xu You during the Chinese New Year, and spend a few days in Jijing by the way.

Xu You also agreed with this proposal, which is a very best way to achieve the best of both worlds.

In this way, Xu You, Luo Wenkun, and many employees of the company spent New Year's Eve in Jijing.

With the joint efforts of the staff.

The first version of the EDA tool was finally completed in the first month.

Next, it entered the EDA testing work.

In the testing work, the person responsible for the chip design is needed to help with the software testing.

Because they are used to mainstream EDA, they were not very comfortable with this new EDA software at first.

However, after getting used to the new EDA interface, their evaluation of this EDA is generally very high.

In order to highlight the theme of "Godson", this EDA is an all-Chinese operation interface. For Chinese people, the learning cost will be much lower.

The software supports common hardware languages ​​such as Verilog and VHDL, and is more concise than several mainstream EDAs in various operations.

After a stage of testing, the designers in charge of the chip summarized some bugs and deficiencies, and replied to the software department.

These bugs, software deficiencies, etc., add up to more than a hundred places.

Of course, for a brand new software, this is already a very good performance.

After Luo Wenkun learned the news, he immediately informed Xu You.

"The first round of testing of our Fulong EDA, the overall performance is quite good. Although there are some bugs and shortcomings, but the flaws are not hidden. According to the colleagues in the chip design department, the operation of Fulong EDA is really very simple. The degree of simulation is also very high, not inferior to those mainstream EDAs. It is estimated that after two rounds of testing, it can be officially put into use. It is getting closer and closer to the release of our first chip."

In fact, regarding the work of chip design, the chip design department has basically completed it through other EDA.

However, because of copyright issues, these chips designed by other EDA cannot be manufactured.

Even if there is no problem with the technology, the follow-up will face the risk of being sued.

But as long as Fulong EDA is officially launched, the previous chip design work does not need to be completely reinvented.

Just change a tool, the main ideas are exactly the same.

"Great, I'll spend more time on it these days, trying to help the team, and solve all these bugs and deficiencies as soon as possible."

With the joint efforts of Xu You and the staff.

After another two rounds of testing, Fulong EDA has finally solved all the problems that have occurred, and it will be officially released soon.

The Propaganda Department of Fulong Technology Company officially announced the news.

"Fulong EDA independently developed by Fulong Technology will be officially released soon. This is the first EDA tool in China that integrates multiple functions such as digital design, analog design, functional verification, and manufacturing yield. In the future, we will realize Chip design goes to the cloud, and major chip design companies are welcome to try Fulong EDA."

Many people don't understand the concept of EDA, what exactly EDA does, and what kind of connection it has with chip manufacturing.

But in the industry, this news undoubtedly caused heated discussions.

"Fulong Technology... actually independently completed the research and development of the whole industry chain EDA? This, how is this possible?"

"This news really sounds incredible. But it is said that Xu You is one of the shareholders of this company and has brought great help to the company in the research and development of various technologies. Xu You is not just a physicist He is also an expert in informatics.”

"With our own EDA industry chain, we are one step closer to realizing complete chip autonomy. I just don't know how well Fulong Technology's EDA is doing and whether it can design high-quality chips."

After Fulong EDA passed the company's final test, the company's chip design department has begun to use Fulong EDA to design chips.

Luo Wenkun, Xu You, and the company's top management discussed the future issues of EDA.

"Although the cost of cloud chip design is very high, in order to make Fulong EDA truly become the mainstream EDA in the future, it will be a matter of time to go to the cloud."
