This is a small (94x51 mm) standalone FPGA board
7 years ago
for education, research and general purpose, with a full
featured selection of chips which I all wanted on
7 years ago
a low-cost PCB, but haven't found on the market.
It's open source and open hardware because if it is
7 years ago
good for our development of [f32c](http://github.com/f32c/f32c) SOC,
7 years ago
it should be also good to other projects.
7 years ago
ULX3S will carry all digital logic on our research, education and
7 years ago
makerspace projects in next 5 years.
7 years ago
ULX3S is standalone embeddable gadget with onboard display, buttons,
7 years ago
storage, WiFi and compatible connectors.
7 years ago
ULX3S can do things no other board can.
7 years ago
ULX3S can self-reflash with a bitstream sent
7 years ago
remotely from web interface over WiFi or from SD
card browsed by onboard OLED display and buttons.
7 years ago
ULX3S can completely power down and wakeup from
7 years ago
battery backed RTC.
7 years ago
ULX3S has rich range of chips and connectivity
7 years ago
required for many other open source projects:
SDRAM, USB, PS/2, SDCARD, HDMI, FLASH, RTC, I2C, OLED, AUDIO, ADC,
7 years ago
onboard FM/ASK antenna 88-433.92 MHz and 56 GPIO pins which
7 years ago
are all routed as differential pairs and have pinout that
is PMOD compatible.
7 years ago
ULX3S is sufficiently equipped to
emulate [Amiga](https://github.com/emard/Minimig_ECS) retro
computer and run its games, but can do much more.

# Production
7 years ago
ZIP the gerbers and send them to manufacturer:
zip -r /tmp/ulx3s.zip plot/ulx3s
7 years ago
If you are going to order this project by yourself, it is important
what manufacturer to choose for PCBA (PCB and Assembly) service.
6 years ago
Parts can be ordered from [Detailed BOM](/doc/ulx3s_bom.csv)
6 years ago
or from [ULX3S at Kitspace](https://kitspace.org/boards/github.com/emard/ulx3s),
6 years ago
which automatically submits [Simplified 1-click BOM](/1-click-bom.tsv) by
6 years ago
clicking on "Digikey" or "Mouser" button. On each click, Digikey and Mouser will keep
6 years ago
accumulating the BOM in the shopping cart. Number of unique parts on Digikey and Mouser
should be equal but Digikey scripts have bugs.
First time click on "Digikey" will upload a partial BOM, then the shopping
cart must be reset and next click on "Digikey" will upload complete BOM.
To reset shopping cart, click "New Cart" or "New Basket".
6 years ago
Kitspace may be updated with about 1 day delay after this project update.

Choose PCBA manufacturer which can produce PCB of IPC CLASS 3 quality,
5/5 mil trace resolution and 0.2 mm holes.
Avoid manufacturer who claims "quality" and "satisfaction" but doesn't
really know what will be IPC CLASS rating for this project.
PCBA manufacturer prices for the parts should be approximately equal as those
7 years ago
from distributors like [Mouser](http://www.mouser.com) or [DigiKey](http://www.digikey.com).
7 years ago
Avoid any PCBA manufacturer who asks 3$ for the 1$ part or 40$ for the 30$ part.
7 years ago
Select [Mouser](http://www.mouser.com) language/location icon to PCBA manufacturer
7 years ago
country of origin and $-currency to check is PCBA manufacturer telling the truth
about prices.
Before soldering the parts, ask manufacturer for [pictures](/pic/ulx3sb-v18.jpg) of PCB.
CLASS 3 demands, among other things, that all drill holes stay inside of VIA pads.
7 years ago
If some holes [break-out](/pic/ulx3sb-v18-breakout-c19.png) from pads,
ask manufacturer to make new PCBs with better drill and copper layer alignment.
[PCBCART](http://www.pcbcart.com) offers CLASS 3 quality and assembly at reasonable cost.
Prices for the parts are equal to [Mouser](http://www.mouser.com).

7 years ago
Don't pay everything at once. Following payment phases during the
PCBA production are recommended:
1. Pay for the parts
7 years ago
2. Manufacturer orders the parts and optionally negotiates with you about part numbers.
7 years ago
Depending on market availability, some parts may come in different physical package.
3. Send updated gerbers which fit to ordered parts.
7 years ago
4. Pay for PCB
5. Manufacturer sends pictures of produced PCB for your inspection.
If anything looks suspicious, ask also for X-ray imaging.
6. Pay for the assembly and shipping.
7 years ago
Nobody wants quality issues, so it is good to ask if manufacturer has qualified personnel
7 years ago
able to follow instructions
for [ULX3S self-test](https://github.com/emard/ulx3s-bin) before shipping.
