<h2>What is an FPGA?</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
An FPGA is like a hardware emulator. It can change itself so that it can take on the characteristics of any other digital logic.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
FPGAs are measured in resources called LUTs or LCs.

<h2>What is Fomu?</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Fomu is an FPGA that fits in your USB port. It has foru buttons, 2 MB of SPI flash, an RGB LED, and an ICE40UP5K with 5280 LCs. It also has 128 kB of dedicated RAM, not counting the block RAM.
|
|
|
|
Unlike many other PCBs, Fomu does not have a separate USB controller chip. This means that any projects that want to use the USB port must include a USB softcore.

<h2>What is this PCB?</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This is Fomu EVT1. This is the original stretch prototype of Fomu. The schematics are the same, but much has changed:
|
|
|
|
* Name changed from Tomu-FPGA to Fomu
|
|
* Package changed from SG48 to WLCSP32
|
|
|
|
Additionally, some patches were needed to get this PCB working:
|
|
|
|
* SO-8 for SPI flash was too small
|
|
* Crystal footprint was upside-down
|
|
|
|
These are yours to take home with you!
|
|
|
|
Differences between EVT1 and EVT3:
|
|
|
|
* Silkscreen on Raspberry Pi header
|
|
* Populate Raspberry Pi header
|
|
* Add PMOD pins to touchpads
|
|
* Swap PMODa pins for I3C
|

<ul>
|
|
<li>Shorting out two zero-ohm resistors</li>
|
|
<li>Programming SPI flash</li>
|
|
<li>Bending SPI flash pins inward</li>
|
|
<li>Mounting crystal on its side</li>
|
|
<li>Attaching power to crystal</li>

<h2>Levels of Fomu</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Fomu aims to be accessable on three levels:
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Python / Interpreted</li>
|
|
<li>RISC-V</li>
|
|
<li>Verilog / FPGA</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
</p>
|
|
</section>
|
|
<section>
|
|
<section>
|
|
<h2>Python / Interpreted</h2>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li><strong>Goal:</strong> Multiple interpreters, auto-reload, USB disk interface</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Now:</strong> MicroPython binary</li>
|
|
</ol>
