Product Description

Introduction

iCESugar is a open source FPGA development board based on Lattice iCE40UP5k designed and made by Zhaoheng Technology. Though it’s small and exquisite, it contains rich peripheral resources on board including RGB LED，Switch，TYPE-C-USB, Micro-USB. Most of the IO are led out by standard PMOD connector and can connect with other PMOD device. Also, it has a on-board debugger called iCELink which is based on ARM Mbed DAPLink. You can just drag the FPGA bitstream into the virtual disk to program with a big convenience, since the iCELink supports drag-and-drop programming, USB CDC serial port and JTAG.
