What is there?

  • cpld/ - template for CPLD firmware for Quartus
  • fpga/ - template for FPGA firmware for Quartus
  • pcb/- simplified schematic in Kicad format
  • doc/- some datasheets for used chips

Main chips

  • FPGA: EP1C12Q240C8N
  • CPLD: EPM3128ATC100-10N
  • Flash: AT45DB041B
  • SDRAM: IS42S32400D-7TL
  • Ethernet: RTL8201CL
  • Audio input: PCM1808
  • Audio output amplifier: LM358

Programming

Programming header J1 have this pinout:

# Pin Function
1 MAX-62 TCK
2 MAX-73 TDO
3 MAX-15 TMS
4 - GND
5 MAX-4 TDI

To program FPGA on-the-fly you need:

  1. Cut MAX-73 to J1-2 trace;
  2. Connect MAX-73 to CY-155;
  3. Connect CY-147 to J1-1;
  4. Connect CY-149 to J1-2;
  5. Connect CY-148 to J1-3.
