ICE40HX1K-STICK-EVN

The ICE40HX1K-STICK-EVN is an easy to use, small size board that allows rapid prototyping of system functions at a very low cost using iCE40 FPGA. This board has a high performance, low power iCE40HX1K FPGA onboard and has a USB thumb drive form factor. The iCE40 FPGA family comprises ultra low density (ULD) devices whose low cost, small footprint and extremely small power consumption makes them ideal for a tremendous range of handheld and battery powered applications. The iCE40 FPGAs are unusual in that they are SRAM based, which allows them to be reprogrammed on the fly and/or loaded from an external device like an SPI Flash or a microcontroller. The iCEstick is supported by iCEcube2 design software for HDL development. Programming the onboard iCE40HX-1k device’s SPI flash is done with Lattice diamond programmer.
