Programming

To program the board you need openFPGALoader.

SRAM programming:

text
openFPGALoader -b littleBee -c ft2232 bitstream.fs

Internal flash programming:

text
openFPGALoader -b littleBee -c ft2232 -f bitstream.fs

JTAG interface firmware update

To update the firmware you need to reboot into a bootloader:

  • Disconnect the board from USB and power supplies.
  • Short 3.3V line and the first pin of the STM32F042 MCU.
  • While shorting the pin, connect a USB cable.

Then update the firmware with dfu-util:

text
dfu-util -a 0 -s 0x08000000:leave -D firmware.bin

Revision History

1.0: 2021-02-19

  • First version.
  • Errata:
    • 3.3V supply should be used for VCCX instead of 1.8V supply.
    • Power LED is too bright.
    • Resistor values on a schematic do not correspond to the available values.

Questions

How big is the Gw1ns2c board PCB?

It measures 20.8 × 51.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Gw1ns2c board use?

39 parts, built around the TPS73101DBV and MIC5504-3.3YM5. 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 Gw1ns2c board KiCad files?

From the Disasm/honeycomb-pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is gw1ns2c-board.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Gw1ns2c board design in my own project?

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