TinyFPGA-EX: common questions

What microcontroller does the TinyFPGA-EX use?

The TinyFPGA-EX is built around the LFE5UM-285, from the FPGA family.

How big is the TinyFPGA-EX PCB?

The TinyFPGA-EX measures 17.8 × 61 mm, has 6 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the TinyFPGA-EX?

75 components, from 32 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the TinyFPGA-EX design files?

From the tinyfpga/TinyFPGA-EX repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the TinyFPGA-EX design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its CERN-OHL-1.2 license, which tinyfpga chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the TinyFPGA-EX 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.
