ICEBATS384

ICE Boards are All The Same.

[!CAUTION] This project is a heavy work in progress in it's early stages. It would be greatly appreciated if you could review and provide feedback on my schematic, but it's heavily advised you don't attempt to build this board yet.

[!IMPORTANT] Because of the intended small form factor of this board it may be difficult to manufacture for some.

Summary:

This board is designed as a small universal FPGA daughterboard that can be added to any project without having to construct a unique layout for each project. It features a 40 pin mezzanine connector to attach to the parent board which offers access to all of the FPGA IO, Clock Hardware Controls, FPGA Configuration controls, and flash programming.

Hardware:

• Lattice ICE40LP384-SG32 FPGA.
• Winbond W25X40C 4MBit Flash.
• 16MHz Application configurable FPGA Clock.
• Configuration done and Power OK status LEDs.
• 2 User program controlled status LEDs.
• 2mm Clearance daughterboard mezzanine connector.

Footprint:

• 30x15mm Overall Size
• 25x10mm 2xM2 Mounting screw pattern (Diagonal)

TODO:

• Rough board layout.
• Peripheral boards (IO Breakout, Programming ribbon board, Automated test board).
• Final schematic review.
• First revision prototype.
• Prototype rework (Or it works first try?)
• All features test.
• Project integration.
