Community Initiative by DhumketuX
VLSI & FPGA Community Bangladesh
The VLSI & FPGA Community Bangladesh (also known as “FPGA, VLSI, STM & Microcontroller Community Bangladesh”) is a cutting-edge platform focused on FPGA, VLSI, STM microcontrollers and embedded systems. We connect engineers, researchers and students who want to build serious skills in chip design, digital hardware and microcontroller-based systems.
Goal: Build Bangladesh’s next generation of semiconductor, FPGA and embedded systems engineers through community learning, research collaboration and industry-aligned guidance.
About the Community
FPGA, VLSI, STM & Microcontroller Community Bangladesh is an open technical community for serious learners and professionals working with FPGA boards, VLSI concepts, STM32 microcontrollers and modern embedded systems. It brings together students, engineers and researchers who want to move beyond tutorials into real projects, design flows and research-grade work.
The community is aligned with the broader deep-tech ecosystem around DhumketuX and BAXRC, helping build talent pipelines for future semiconductor, avionics and embedded research projects.
Vision & Mission
- Vision: Position Bangladesh as a serious contributor in VLSI design, FPGA development and embedded systems engineering.
- Mission: Create a strong community that shares knowledge, builds real projects and connects local talent to global semiconductor and electronics industries.
- Support students and engineers in building industry-ready portfolios in FPGA, VLSI, STM32, microcontrollers and EDA tools.
Core Technical Focus Areas
