I wonder how far a LLM could get with this. It will be cool when we get to the point where you can decap a chip, take a picture, and then an LLM can create an emulator for that chip.

I tried and ChatGPT 5.6 managed to figure out the answer within an hour.

I'd say they could solve it much faster than I could. Some of the other commenters are mentioning tools that would have made this so much easier, and I'd assume an LLM would know to use them

This would need good image recognition, but maybe not so far out of the realm of possibility.

These GDS design files have a lot more structure to them.
