Abstract
The previous year was another great success for the open source integrated circuit (IC) design ecosystem. It finished with two actions: the second IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS) PICO open source IC design contest, known as <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">the Chipathon</i> , and the first Code-a-Chip travel grant award. The second Chipathon installment in 2022 attracted 55 teams across the globe, out of which volunteers selected 22 outstanding proposals. The finishing line was reached by 14 teams at the end of November (see the summaries in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Figure 1</xref> and <xref ref-type="table" rid="table1" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Table 1</xref> ), after months of global joint action, including weekly technical checkup meetings and conversations on the bustling IEEE-SSCS-DC-22 Slack channel.
