Icepi Zero – The FPGA Raspberry Pi Zero Equivalent
I've been hacking away lately, and I'm now proud to show off my newest project - The Icepi Zero! In case you don't know what an FPGA is, this phrase summarizes it perfectly: "FPGAs work like this. You don't tell them what to do, you tell them what to BE." You don't program them, but you rewrite the circuits they contain! So I've made a PCB that carries an ECP5 FPGA, and has a raspberry pi zero footprint. It also has a few improvements! Notably the 2 USB b ports are replaced with 3 USB C ports, and it has multiple LEDs. This board can output HDMI, read from a uSD, use a SDRAM and much more.…
In plain words
Icepi Zero is an FPGA development board with a Raspberry Pi Zero form factor, built around an ECP5 FPGA chip. It features three USB-C ports, multiple LEDs, and supports HDMI output, microSD card reading, and SDRAM. Designed for makers and hardware hackers who want to reconfigure digital circuits rather than write traditional software, the board is open-source and available on GitHub.

I'm very proud the product of multiple weeks of work. (Thanks for the pcb reviews on r/PrintedCircuitBoard ) (All the sources on github under an open source license :D) PS.
