VGA clock
This is one of the first projects I hardened using OpenLane.
News update: my clock works! And you can buy a kit here!

It shows the time on an LCD panel. It will be part of my first tapeout.
After running the OpenLane ASIC flow, it results in a design that uses 180x180 microns (32000 square microns). As we have about 10e6 square microns in the user project area of the Google shuttle, I could potentially put about 300 of these on the ASIC!
