Efabless has launched a 100% open-source FPGA chip CLEAR, built on Caravel - an open-source ASIC platform provided as a base (SoC) and offering an end-to-end open design, right down to the CPU core. The explanation of the product is simple and quite relatable to the maker's community -...

Sipeed has surprisingly introduced yet another Tang Nano FPGA board based on the Gowin GW1NR-9 chip. This time, the manufacturer has pushed the limits to around 9K (8640) logic units (LUT4), unlike the predecessor Tang Nano 1K and Tang Nano 4K with around 1152 and 4608 LUTs respectively....

Raspberry Pi ecosystem has witnessed an open-source software-defined radio HAT after a very long time. All-long CaribouLite is looking to crowdfunding for mass production and to get a response from the hacker community. After a series of changes since the first draft version seen on...

The 8-bit, 2 MHz 6502 microprocessor of MOS Technology, now CSG, had gained widespread use on classic computers of the late 1970s and early 1990s, like the Apple II plus, games consoles, and chess computers, though the games consoles and chess computers were mostly CMOS 65C02-based. The...

Pixblasters™ has announced the release of new firmware updates for its Pixblasters MS1 Video LED Controller, which enables real-time control of extensive video LED displays built by addressable LED strips. The firmware updates bring new FPGA LED controllers (ver. 107) that are...

Kryptor FPGA has been around in the pre-launch phase for over two years. After a significant amount of time and wait, the one-chip hardware security module Kryptor FPGA has launched for crowdfunding on Crowdsupply with the goal of $13,000. This compact FPGA hardware security module...

There had been a spoiler by Sipeed a few weeks back about the testing of yet another Tang Nano board. Yes, you are right, this is not the first Tang Nano board by Sipeed, but the first version came two years ago as a $5 development board built around Gowin GW1N-1 LittleBee FPGA....

SparkFun QuickLogic Thing Plus was originally crowdfunded on CrowdSupply that raised around $4500. If you did not back the product back then, no worries, you can buy it now on the SparkFun product page. SparkFun QuickLogic Thing Plus is a powerful FPGA board that comes with a...
