MMO-CHIP: From Microscope to Verilog in an hour (gpn24)

MMO-CHIP: From Microscope to Verilog in an hour (gpn24)

Author: CCC media team June 7, 2026 Duration: 58:45
Reverse engineering old custom chips from microscope pictures is cool, but oh so painfully slow! Last time I did this (talk at 38C3), I spent two weeks waking up, annotating wires in Inkscape, going to bed, and then dreaming about more wires. So I decided to bite the bullet and finally build some better tooling, to keep future me more sane as well. In this talk I'll present _MMO-CHIP_, an open source silicon reverse engineering tool I built for helping preserve and emulating custom undocumented chips, like the DSPs used in old synthesizers. It's web based and allows collaborative annotation, it handles giant pictures effortlessly and integrates a lot of features specifically designed for digitizing silicon, including some computer vision techniques. It's even able to infer the logical formula of complex logic gates, just from a few scribbles! I will explain in detail how the algorithms used work, and how you can use it to go from microscope to simulable Verilog code in less than an hour (or even less if you draw in multiplayer with some friends!).
