About the 8510C-Tang-Nano-9K-FPGA PCB
8510C-Tang-Nano-9K-FPGA is an open source PCB design by ik2biy, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 51 × 127.2 mm, with 11 components from 8 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the TXB0108PW and MCP1700x-120xxMB. By type, the board carries 5 capacitors, 3 ICs, 2 connectors and 1 resistor.
From the project
Important: Before using this emulator, please read the original Mojo PAL Emulator documentation to understand its design principles and functionality. This will help you better follow the improvements and changes introduced in this project.
Important: Before using this emulator, please read the original Mojo PAL Emulator documentation to understand its design principles and functionality. This will help you better follow the improvements and changes introduced in this project.
To improve the design and eliminate the need for the large Mojo board attached to the PAL security board, I developed a fully interchangeable replacement. This new design is based on the Tang Nano 9K, an affordable and easy-to-use FPGA platform.
