The iCEBreaker FPGA board is an open-source educational FPGA development board.

The iCEBreaker is great for classes and workshops teaching the use of the open source FPGA design flow through Yosys, nextpnr, IceStorm, Icarus Verilog, Amaranth HDL and others. This means the board is low cost and has a nice set of features to allow for the design of interesting classes and workshop exercises. At the same time it allows the user to use the proprietary vendor tools if they choose to.

After the workshop the boards can be be easily used as a development board as most GPIO are exposed, broken out and configurable through jumpers on the back of the board. There is only a minimal amount of buttons and LED that can't be disconnected and used for your own purposes.

We also offer plugin modules called PMODs and accessories in our store that are a great extension and compliment to the iCEBreaker.

• 7-Segment Display PMOD
• DIP Switch PMOD
• Digital Video Interface PMOD
• HyperRAM PMOD
• RGB LED Panel Matrix Driver Pmod
• Gamepad and Audio Pmod

For the WTFpga workshop you will need an iCEBreaker, 7-Segment Display PMOD and DIP Switch PMOD. For the iCEBreaker Workshop you will just need one 7-Segment Display PMODs.

This is a new and updated version of the hardware. The main changes between V1.0 and V1.1 are the following:

• Updated from Micro USB to USB-C connector
• The "ears" are now populated and the connectors for the "ear" boards are included
• RGB LED is now mounted by default
• PSRAM is now mounted by default (64MBit QSPI)
• Added a dedicated CRESET button 
• All Pmod IO signals are now length matched
