Iapx432-sbc: common questions
What microcontroller does the Iapx432-sbc use?
The Iapx432-sbc is built around the ICE40, from the FPGA family.
How big is the Iapx432-sbc PCB?
The Iapx432-sbc measures 100 × 100 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Iapx432-sbc?
108 components, from 38 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 Iapx432-sbc design files?
From the quasiengineer/iapx432-sbc 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 Iapx432-sbc design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with quasiengineer. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Iapx432-sbc 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.
