# ULX3S PCB
This is work-in-progress place for putting
some wishes of a small (94x51 mm) FPGA board.
This is a small (94x51 mm) standalone FPGA board
for research and general purpose, with a full
featured selection of chips which I all wanted on
a low-cost PCB, but haven't found on the market.
It's open source and open hardware because if it is
good for my development on
[F32C](http://github.com/f32c/f32c) SOC,
it should be also good to other projects.
ULX3S = University digital logic Learning eXtensible
board release 3 with SDRAM, Successor of
[ULX2S](http://github.com/emard/ulx2s).
It can do things no other board can.
It can self-reflash with a bitstream sent
remotely from web interface over WiFi or from SD
card browsed by onboard OLED display and buttons.
It can completely power down and wakeup from
battery backed RTC.
Normally it has rich range of chips and connectivity
required for many other open source projects:
SDRAM, USB, PS/2, SDCARD, HDMI, FLASH, RTC, I2C, OLED, AUDIO, ADC,
onboard FM/PSK antenna 88-433.92 MHz and 56 GPIO pins which
are all routed as differential pairs and have pinout that
is PMOD compatible.
Schematics and PCB are done in open source KiCAD PCB editor:
kicad ulx3s.pro
[Schematics](/doc/schematics.pdf) is mostly complete.
[Schematics](/doc/schematics.pdf) and is pretty close to final.
[PCB v1.7 is produced](/pic/ulx3st-real.jpg)
Important board features already work like
Important board features are tested and work like
USB-JTAG, SDRAM, SDCARD, HDMI, FLASH, RTC, I2C, OLED, AUDIO, ADC, 433.92MHz
US2 can be used to plug USB-PS/2 combo keyboard but US2 feature as USB
host/device is not tested.
