Brainstorming an open FPGA breakout/devboard design with lots (>100) of I/O and USB. I should start writing a design doc soon...

Probably iCE40 cased with a PCIe female edge connector to make it easy/cheap to build I/O modules for it. Think cheap PCB soldered to tgt.

Use cases: system probing/reversing, cartridge emu, massive I/O (LED screen?), logic analyzer, memory dumping/programming.

E.g. daughterboard provides 5V level translation, then uber cheap PCB-only frontends interface to every retro cartridge connector ever.

Stick it into a console and it's an emu w/logic analyzer. Put a cart slot on it and you can use it to dump. Enough I/O left for capture.

For GBA experiments I could hook up the entire cartridge connector, LCD connector (video capture), buttons and audio.

Replying to @endrift
That was the orignal motivation :) (was considering using the twlfpga but I need more I/O).

I'm trying to spec it so I can throw some PSRAM on and meet timing while holding a full 32MB of ROM data.

@byuu_san might also be interested. Pretty sure you could simultaneously probe ~every bus on a SNES.2 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -

@gekkio might have something like this for the DMG.2 replies 0 retweets 1 like - Show replies
