At its heart, Free Model Foundry is an open source project. It does not have the legions of programmers of Linux or Gnome but it still relies on feedback from users to validate its actions and to set new directions.
In an effort to make it easier for you to give us that feedback and to provide a platform for you to discuss your problems and successes with other engineers, FMF has add a new forum feature at http://www.FreeModelFoundry.com/phpBB3/index.php. Please use this feature to tell us about your design projects, your verification challenges, how FMF models have helped, and how we can make your working easier.
I know hardware engineers are not a particularly social lot but, being known could make an importance difference next time you find yourself in a job interview.
We look forward to hearing from you.
The following is a list of 13 updates to the Free Model Foundry website for the month of November 2007.
There are now models and timing files covering over 11,000 part numbers on the FMF website.
Model Additions and Updates:
The following models have either been added or updated in the released libraries:

Separate VHDL and Verilog model list pages reflect these updates.
For full details on FMF modeling practices and how to use models in your verification work, you may purchase "ASIC & FPGA Verification, A guide to Component Modeling" by Richard Munden, available from Amazon.com.
