[> Intro The LiteX-Acorn-Baseboard is a baseboard developed around the SQRL's Acorn board (or Nite/LiteFury) expanding their possibilities with:
- A PCIe X1 connector.
- A SFP connector.
- A M2 SATA slot.
- An EPC5 FPGA (connected to the Acorn through a SerDes link) and providing:
- A JTAG/UART port.
- A 1Gbps Ethernet port (RGMII).
- A HDMI Out port.
- A SDCard slot.
- 4 PMODs.
- 2 Buttons.
- A LCD.
- 2 SATA connectors (connected to the ECP5's SerDeses).
The board is mainly intended to be used as a development board for LiteX: From regression testing to development of new features; but can also be a nice and cheap FPGA development board for developers willing to play with PCIe, SFP, SATA, etc... or wanting to create an standalone and open source Linux platforms.
[> Prerequisites
- Python3, Vivado.
- Either a Vivado-compatible JTAG cable (native or XVCD), or OpenOCD.
