This paper discusses how GOSPL (Generalized Open Source Programmable Logic), the world?s first and only complete, commercially viable hardware/software electronics platform is a dramatic and major step forward in Semiconductor & Electronic Design Automation Education/Research worldwide. Never before in the history of the world, the work of 300 people over 5 years representing over one million lines of EDA software code and correspondingly programmable system on chip Semiconductor IP Architecture have been made available to the global University system. It allows global education, research, innovation and entrepreneurialism for universities to play commercially viable EDA and VLSI IP game.
