IIsiA7 Mini

Known issues in V3.0

  • The JTAG header is not wired as intended (doesn't follow any pinouts I know), but the silkscreen is correct and it can be used just fine
  • Pinout silkscreen for leds D4 and D5 is switched (D4 <=> D6), D6 is really top and D4 bottom)
  • IRQs and CACHE should have had pull (up for IRQs, down for CACHE), the gateware currently enables pulling at the FPGA pins

Questions

How big is the IIsiA7 Mini PCB?

It measures 129.8 × 57.4 mm and has 6 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the IIsiA7 Mini use?

219 parts, built around the XC7A50T-1FTG256I, SN74LVC1G125DCKR-GK, TPS62823DLCR and CH340N. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the IIsiA7 Mini KiCad files?

From the MelkhiorVintageComputing/IIsiFPGA repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is IIsiA7_Mini/IIsiA7_Mini.kicad_pcb and its schematic IIsiA7_Mini/Artix-7 B14.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the IIsiA7 Mini design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask MelkhiorVintageComputing before reusing the design.
