README
README.mdChipIgnite educational FPGA dev board
This FPGA experimentation and development board was developped for efabless chipignite workshops and labs to serve as an easy to use experimentation board and stepping stone towards ASIC digital design, allowing for simple migration of design to Tiny Tapeout projects.
It is released as open hardware, and all the design files are included here, as akicad project.
Schematic
The full schematic pdf is available, but is in essence:
* An UP5K FPGA, tied to 8 input switches, 8 outputs through a 7-segment display and 8 additional I/O (the latter two sets also appearing on Pmod headers)
* An RP2040 MCU, used to manage bitstreams and allow for easy programming of FPGA through drag & drop of UF2 files on a virtual USB drive (powered by [riffpga](https://github.com/psychogenic/riffpga) ) Parts

Questions
How big is the ChipigniteExplain PCB?
It measures 53.5 × 65.5 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the ChipigniteExplain use?
251 parts, built around the ICE40UP5K-SG48ITR50, SC0914(13), W25Q32JVSSIQ and AP2112K-1.2TRG1. 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 ChipigniteExplain KiCad files?
From the efabless/chipignite_discover repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ChipigniteExplain.kicad_pcb and its schematic ChipigniteExplain.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the ChipigniteExplain design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the Apache-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
