Start testing before you tape out onto an ASIC!
The FPGA breakout has a Lattice UP5K FPGA on a PCB with headers and a pinout compatible with the Tiny Tapeout demoboard, which includes all the digital I/O as well as the project reset and clock.
It can let you try out and test your digital designs in the same way as you’ll be interacting with ASIC projects: on top of the demoboard, through PMOD headers or the RP2 MicroPython SDK.
Guide on how to make use of the kit (a printed version is included in the box) can be found here: https://tinytapeout.com/guides/fpga-breakout/
Note that this development kit is a new design and not backward-compatible with TT08 and earlier development kits. The larger 'demoboard' board is compatible with later ‘ETR’ development kits.
This kit comes fully assembled - no soldering required!
