Hi all, quick announcement about the Run 2 deadline.
Due to delays in getting the submission platform up and running, the deadline for having a clean GDS submitted for Run 2 has been extended by 2 weeks. Note: the purchase deadline has not changed. You have less than a week to purchase a slot, if you haven’t already.
The new dates are:
- Purchasing on CrowdSupply: 30 June 2026 @ 11:59 PM AoE.
- GDS in for Run 2: 14 July 2026 @ 11:59 PM AoE.
The submission platform is up and running right now, those who are submitting a design please confirm access and create your project on there as soon as possible.
GDS in means that the project has successfully passed the precheck on the platform. This is the same precheck which is found at github.com/wafer-space/gf180mcu-precheck.
This is a one time extension and will not be happening on future runs. Do not expect any other deadline extensions this run.
After You Purchase
Once you’ve purchased your slot, you have until 14 July 2026 to create, verify and submit your design. Ensure you run the gf180mcu-precheck locally to verify your design before submitting. Verify early and often! If you find problems last minute, you may not have the time to fix them.
If you do run into issues or just want to stay in the loop, join the wafer.space Discord or connect with us on Matrix. Many people are finalising their designs, and problems you encounter have likely been solved by others who could lend a hand.
