What is this FPGA capable of? Can any of the cores of the MISter cores be ported over to this?

#12If I understood correctly, the ECP5 FPGA can be designed for with open source tooling [0][1], which makes this even more awesome.
OP, if you are planning to commercialize these, try to confirm compatibility, that will definitely make it more attractive!

#13What's the approximate cost of materials?

#14Earlier quoted context omitted.
After the amount of emails i got asking if i sell the boards, I just applied to crowdsupply :P
I have no idea about this product category but am interested in learning more about FPGAs. What is the ballpark price point that something like this would be? Are we talking $100 or $1000?
Not OP, but these kind of boards are ballpark between $100-$200.
Here’s a similar board with the same FPGA: https://www.crowdsupply.com/radiona/ulx3s.

This would probably fall in the $100 range if comparable to other ECP5 dev boards like OrangeCrab.

#16I checked out his post on Reddit [0]. OP (cyao12) wrote a CPU in Verilog at the age of 13 and is now only 16. Mind. Blown.
cyao12: I'm going to try and put the old cpu I made in verilog when I was 13 on it! The sdram is okay, the traces are short enough that the distance difference doesn't matter :D
Collez_boi: You made a freaking CPU in Verilog when you were 13?! That's crazy.
cyao12: Yeaaah, but tbh the design wasnt really good lol. Im 16 now so Im quite happy about my progress

#17What would it take for something like this to output eDP over one of the USB C ports? What are the design and hardware requirements?
Re: Show HN: Icepi Zero – The FPGA Raspberry Pi Zero Equivalent
#18Neat stuff! Is this similar to the Arduino MKR Vidor?

#19Fpga is kind of like the final frontier in my embedded trajectory, haven’t made the leap yet mainly because microcontrollers or fixed arch cpus are fast enough for most consumer tech. I’d love to give it a shot one day though

#20Impressive! Looks well thought out. FPGA programming is something I've wanted to get into, this might be my entry point. Great work!
