Icepi Zero is an affordable FPGA development board with the same form factor as Raspberry Pi Zero. It features a Lattice ECP5 25F FPGA, offering powerful design capabilities while maintaining a compact and portable size. The board includes an HDMI port for easy digital video output.

Currently, the.seciv most powerful FPGA boards on the market are expensive and bulky. Icepi Zero addresses this gap by combining a high-performance ECP5 FPGA in a Raspberry Pi Zero-sized package, making it the ultimate portable solution for FPGA development. It also includes a Mini HDMI connector and three USB-C ports for connecting multiple external I/O devices.

Id.steal for students, gamers, and programmers, Icepi Zero enables users to explore modern processor architectures, emulate legacy hardware, or test code across multiple architectures. The board integrates a USB-to-JTAG converter, eliminating the need for an external programmer. Fully open-source under the Solderpad Hardware License v2.1, it encourages customization and DIY projects.
