Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA, XC7A15T.
The die is covered in yellow polyimide film (basically kapton) which is a soft plastic that scratches super easily and has some marks despite my best attempts to keep it pristine with careful handling.
I'll try removing it with sulfuric acid later on and see how it goes. Or maybe take it into work and run it on the RIE with oxygen plasma.
There's not a whole lot to see other than the GTP quad in the southwest corner. I'll delayer at…

That would be @… over here having built Solander - here’s a video
in 2022 I designed and built a 1:76th scale model of a shepherds hut that I had seen mentioned in a news story, found pictures of it on an auction site, drew it up as a buildable kit and cut it out with my laser. Having built it I then lost the files (my fault).
Today I re-found the pictures online and drew up the kit again, hopefully slightly improved. Here is the original model alongside the new kit of parts.
No AI was used in this process at all.
