Not having #AMD #Xilinx #Vivado #Chipscope based live #hardware debug for the #picoice #Lattice #ice40 #FPGA was a little annoying

so I am hoping to revive the small pipelinec project that was sorta a build your own chipscope attempt 🤙 and demo that on the pico ice

Two of the reasons I am not using the @olimex #Gatemate boards are that they do not have usb host nor DVI.

But then the #picoice also does not have them.

Do you have a a web page about your boards?

^^^ Is an excellent video describing how the FemtoRV works. I will soon be comparing #Mecrisp #ice with Risc-V, so the timing is almost perfect.

@olimex I think that both your board and the #picoice are fantastic. The combination of an #RP2040 and an #FPGA is both powerful and inexpensive. I think I prefer your #gatemate fpga, but I prefer their sdk. https://github.com/tinyvision-ai-inc/pico-ice-sdk
I like your ps2 and vga ports but I would prefer 2 usb host ports. Which pico-ice also does not have.
I like that they have two flash memories, one for the rp2040, and one for the fpga.

All we can do is to choose between the boards that are available to us.

Konilo looks really interesting. A big brother to #uxn. UXN had 8bit memory cells. Like the discontinued z80. 32 bit memory makes much more sense to me.

Would you like a version of this running on an #FPGA? On a $35 pico-ice? #forth

I will be giving away a Pico-Ice fpga + RP2040 circuit board at my SVFIG talk on Saturday Nov 18th.

I now have a blinky running on my #picoice board generated using #SpinalHDL and APIO.

Getting the initial J!Sc running on a non supported board looks quie difficult because of all of its additional features.
