+====== Reading Efabless ID Numbers ======
+Most Efabless parts have ID numbers embedded in their design. This ID number can be read via the Caravel SoC and is also found on the top metal.
+ID number is in the bottom-left corner of the die.
+The ID number where originally connected to the position in the reticle (case for SKY130 MPW1, MPW2, MPW3) but then changed format.
+For chipIgnite dice the first 4 hex digits are the 2-digit year, and 2-digit month (e.g. 2306 for the CI2306 shuttle), and the last 4 digits are a random hex value for the respective die/project. This 8-digit "project ID" was generated when the repo was first created on the Efabless servers... when the customer had finished their design, it would be placed into the next available reticle slot.
