OrangeCrab r0.2.1 85F - Lattice ECP5 FPGA Development Kit
The OrangeCrab is an electronics development board. It is FPGA based featuring an ECP5 from Lattice. The board follows the slim feather board specification from Adafruit. The FPGA is compatible with all open source toolchains and is perfect for experimenting with RISC-V cores. There aren't many FPGA boards available that make use of the ECP5, but here are some distinct features that set this board apart: Small Compact size (Take it anywhere!) Direct USB connection to the FPGA (Operate as a DFU, MSC, CDC, or composite device!) On-board DDR3 Memory (1Gbit!) Pre-loaded DFU bootloader (No external programmer required!) It's Orange! What is a FPGA anyway? FPGA is an acronym for Field Programmable Gate Array. At a basic level, a FPGA is an integrated circuit filled with an array of very basic digital building blocks. One of these blocks is the Look-Up Table (LUT). A LUT takes some inputs and 'looks up' what its output should be. LUTs are programmable, so they can be configured to emulate
