You will need the STM32CubeProgrammer software from https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stm32cubeprog.html to reprogram your badge. It's cross-platform, though I've only tested it on Windows 10. Unfortunately ST requires you to create a login to download software :(

SaintconMinibadgeDisplay10x10: common questions

What microcontroller does the SaintconMinibadgeDisplay10x10 use?

The SaintconMinibadgeDisplay10x10 is built around the ICE40HX1K-TQ144, from the FPGA family.

How big is the SaintconMinibadgeDisplay10x10 PCB?

The SaintconMinibadgeDisplay10x10 measures 264.2 × 264.2 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the SaintconMinibadgeDisplay10x10?

132 components, from 10 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 SaintconMinibadgeDisplay10x10 design files?

From the compukidmike/Saintcon2019 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the SaintconMinibadgeDisplay10x10 design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with compukidmike. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the SaintconMinibadgeDisplay10x10 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.
