Upduino v2 with the ice40 up5k FPGA demos
Upduino v2 examples with icestorm
Several demos showing how to use the icestorm toolchain with the
Upduino (ice40 UltraPlus 5k) FPGA dev board.
| Demo | Description |
|---|---|
blink |
Flash the RED LED in a pulse-pulse, pulse-pulse pattern |
pulse |
Smoothly ramp the RGB LED through a color change pattern |
serial |
Print a repeating message on the serial port at 3 Mbs |
seral-echo |
Read from the serial port, echo it back at 3 Mbs |
spram-demo |
Read from the serial port, buffer in SPRAM, echo it slowly |
To flash them, run sudo make blink.flash.
You will probably need to be root to flash the board and restore the
/dev/ttyUSB0 device driver after iceprog switches it into SIO mode.
Schematics and pinout
Schematics for the upduino: https://github.com/gtjennings1/UPDuino_v2_0
Note that the upduino_v2.pcf file disagrees with the serial port in
the pinout and schematic. The pins were determined through experimentation
and seem to work (and the ones in the pinout do not).
UltraPlus 5K overview
Overview: http://www.latticesemi.com/Products/FPGAandCPLD/iCE40UltraPlus
Datasheet: http://www.latticesemi.com/-/media/LatticeSemi/Documents/DataSheets/iCE/iCE40-UltraPlus-Family-Data-Sheet.ashx
The eight DSP blocks can do 16x16 multiply and 32-bit accumulate operations. They can be combined to make 32x32 multipliers, etc.
