Arctic video: common questions
What microcontroller does the Arctic video use?
The Arctic video is built around the XC7A75T-FGG676, from the FPGA family.
How big is the Arctic video PCB?
The Arctic video measures 134.5 × 107.2 mm, has 8 copper layers and is 1.57 mm thick.
How many components are on the Arctic video?
260 components, from 49 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Arctic video design files?
From the aerogull/arctic-video repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Arctic video design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with aerogull. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Arctic video without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug FPGA firmware against it before you order a PCB.
