in ASIC layout? this is tricky at the moment, because there are no
Libre-Licensed tools that do verification, because all PDKs until only
2 months ago were under NDA. it will get better: it will just take
time.

ah excellent, there's some tutorial links here on the nmigen section
https://libre-soc.org/3d_gpu/tutorial/
please do bear in mind: nmigen is python, so you need to appreciate
and adapt to OO (Object-Orientated) programming. this is *not*
normally taught to HDL Engineers: it is part of Software Engineering
training, not Hardware Engineering training.
IBM's requirements for its HDL engineers is that they know c++.
