FPGA Development Board for Python Graphical Programming with RISC-V Support

Lattice iCE40UP5k FPGA is used for core devices. The 5280 logic units (4-LUT+CARRY+FF) provide FPGA resources comparable to our Lattice version and fewer logic resources than the Altera version. 120 Kbit dual-port RAM. 1 Mbit (128 KByte) single-port RAM, which exceeds the internal memory capacity of our FPGA, enabling support for CNN applications. Features PLL, 2x SPI, and 2x I2C hardened IPs. Two internal oscillators (10 kHz and 48 MHz) simplify design integration. Eight DSP multiplier blocks support signal processing applications such as voice synthesis and software-defined radio. Ultra-low power consumption ideal for battery-powered applications. 3x 24 mA drive outputs and 3x hard IP PWM channels capable of directly driving RGB LEDs and small-current motors. Ample and fast memory resources. 128 Mbit (16 MB) quad SPI double data rate (QSPI-DDR) flash. Supports applications such as video streaming to LED matrices. Multiple I/O options (limited FPGA pins on UP5K, but sufficient for intended uses). 3 pins dedicated for RGB LED control. 2 onboard LEDs. One UART port with RX and TX accessible via virtual USB serial interface. One push button. Two Pmod connectors (total 16 pins). One Pmod connector (8 pins) is detachable. 5 star-shaped LEDs. 3 push buttons. Sufficient resources to support CPU soft cores including picorv32, picoSoC, RISC-V, and other soft cores. Onboard FPGA programmer and USB-to-serial adapter. Compatible with IceStorm iceprog tool. Plug-and-play connectivity with host, no driver required. Supports Pmod connectors and Pmod modules. Board includes three standard Pmod interfaces for extensive expandability—compatible with numerous off-the-shelf Pmod modules or custom designs such as seven-segment display, DIP switch, LED screen driver, and HDMI-compatible output modules. Color: blue. Material: PCB with electronic components.
