# ULX3S PCB
This is work-in-progress place for putting
some wishes of a small (94x51 mm) FPGA board.
ULX3S = University digital logic Learning eXtensible
board release 3 with SDRAM, Successor of
[ULX2S](http://github.com/emard/ulx2s).
kicad ulx3s.pro
[Schematics](/doc/schematics.pdf) is mostly complete.
[PCB v1.7 is produced](/pic/ulx3st-real.jpg)
Important board features already 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.
There are known issues, luckily most can be fixed by
[Upgrading PCB v1.7](/doc/pcb-v1.7-upgrade.md).

# Todo
Test the prototype.
[x] Silkscreen Double outline for BGA chip
[x] Silkscreen do not write over the solder pads
[ ] Silkscreen BGA names on ESP32 placeholder and 2.54 mm headers
