The icoBOARD contains
a Lattice FPGA with 8k LUT, 100MHz max clock, up
to 8 MBit of SRAM and is programmable in Verilog by a
complete open source FPGA toolchain.
The icoTC (toolchain consisting of
Yosys and ArachnePnR and icetools) for the Lattice ICE40
series does support all chip components like
PLLs, Block RAMs, the WARMBOOT
macro, dedicated carry logic, and IO blocks. The icoBoard
is pincompatible with the RaspberryPi 2B, newer versions
and any board using the same pinout. The icoTC can
generate bitstream-files directly on the
RaspberryPi.
The icoBoard can also be operated
standalone without RaspberrPi. Up to 200 IO Pins
or 20 PMOD modules can be connected to the icoBOARD. 3
flatflex connectors are available to connect additional
boards.
