A Low Power FPGA Development Board
The IcyBlue Feather provides an easy to use and familiar form factor FPGA development board featuring the Lattice Semiconductor ICE5LP4K FPGA, a low power FPGA designed for mobile and power conscious applications. IcyBlue provides an easy to program interface via an FTDI FT232H USB to FIFO bridge to program either the FPGA directly in the base model IcyBlue, or a SPI FLASH chip on the board designed for persistent project deployment.

PREORDERS OPEN (May Estimated Shipping Timeframe for first 100 pieces)
PREORDER PRICING: For a limited time, the pricing of preorders is reduced to make the board accessible to more people. This pricing will not last though so order while you are able to at the reduced price!
NOTE: Current product picture is a prototype, delivered version will be blue with white solder mask.
Brrr, is it cold outside? Nah, it's just the IcyBlue Feather! This unique FPGA feather allows you to easily get started with FPGA development with a highly capable and robust ICE5LP4K FPGA from Lattice Semiconductor! The ICE5LP4K brings two hardware I2C and SPI blocks, a bright RGB LED, two user LEDS, and 22 accessible GPIO through the headers of the feather board.
Programming is easy using an FTDI FT232HQ USB FIFO bridge, allowing you to quickly program the on board SPI FLASH with your bitstream hex or bin files. The FT232HQ makes this board compatible with both open source tools such as icestorm and proprietary tools like the Diamond Programmer provided by Lattice Semiconductor.
The feather form factor developed by Adafruit also means that this project is mobile with battery power. This is particularly useful for developing on the go and mobile deployments of your FPGA projects.
Whether you are a first time FPGA developer or a seasoned professional, the IcyBlue Feather brings a powerful and capable yet compact FPGA to your bench.
