About the Anice PCB

Anice is an open source FPGA PCB design by hackclub, published on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board measuring 65.6 × 34 mm, with 91 components from 36 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the ECP5U_12_CABGA256, from the FPGA family. Other key parts include the TPD2EUSB30, FT231XQ, PCA9306DC1, W9825G6KH-6 and W25Q128JVS. By type, the board carries 38 capacitors, 25 resistors, 11 ICs, 6 connectors, 3 inductors and 1 crystal.

From the project

A YSWS for the northern hemisphere's summer and the aussie's winter. Run by @pmnlla, with love and loads of carrots.

"FPGAs work like this. You don't tell them what to do, you tell them what to BE."

An FPGA is a chip that can be configured on the hardware level. You can basically make your own CPU and GPU on it.

The PCB called is "anice": - 256MiB of ram - 128MiB of flash - HDMI port - triple USB C with JTAG converter - SDCard Reader - dual 25MHz clock and 200MHz built-in clock - multiple indicator lights - only 4 layer PCB

Anice: common questions

What microcontroller does the Anice use?

The Anice is built around the ECP5U_12_CABGA256, from the FPGA family.

How big is the Anice PCB?

The Anice measures 65.6 × 34 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Anice?

91 components, from 36 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 Anice design files?

From the hackclub/reflow 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 Anice design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Anice 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.
