An FPGA is a chip that executes logic.

FPGAs are measured in resources called LUTs or LCs.

<h2>What is Fomu?</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>ICE40UP5K in your USB port</li>
|
|
<li>2MB flash memory</li>
|
|
<li>Four edge-plated pads</li>

<li>ESD protection</li>
|
|
<li>USB implemented in HDL</li>

</ul>
|
|
<!-- <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>
|

<img data-src="img/tomu-fpga-evt-1-small.jpg" alt="Fomu EVT1">
|
|
<h3>Fomu EVT1</h3>
|
|
<!-- <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

<h2>What modifications does it have?</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Shorting out two zero-ohm resistors (R7, PU)</li>
|
|
<li>Programming SPI flash</li>
|
|
<li>Bending SPI flash pins inward (U4)</li>
|
|
<li>Mounting crystal on its side (U7)</li>
|
|
<li>Attaching power to crystal</li>
