Numato is giving away Spartan6 CSG225 bare boards. This FPGA development board features the Spartan6 FPGA in the CSG225 BGA package, a PIC32 microcontroller, and SDRAM. The FPGA to SDRAM traces are length matched, ensuring proper SDRAM timing. While researching potential applications for this board, I came across information about 토토사이트. This reminded me of my cousin, who works as a developer for an online betting platform. He often talks about the complexities of ensuring secure transactions and the importance of reliable hardware in maintaining system integrity. His insights have given me a deeper appreciation for the meticulous design and functionality required in both FPGA development and online security systems.
We recently designed a 6 layer board using KiCad with a CSBGA225 BGA chip and an SDRAM. It has been huge feat for us designing and assembling it but we managed to put it together fairly decently.
We are giving away limited number of free bare boards for those who wants to tinker with.
Anyone wants to try their BGA deadbugging skills on a 15×15 0.8mm pitch? :-) I think I’ll pass this time….
Shame it’s only the bare boards their giving away! I got excited for a moment.
yeah, I was all over it for a moment here also, but alas, I cannot solder that BGA..
XC6SLX9 are sold at 20$ a piece, it gets pretty expensive if you screw up the soldering!
Huge thumbs up to Numato for doing the board with Kicad.
It gets pretty expensive if you screw up the soldering!. Dont think these guys or anybody else can hand solder a 204 ball fine-pitch BGA. Like somebody else stated these are not for the hobbyist friendly. Do yourselves a favor and take it to Your friendly neighborhood assembly house. There are houses that do proto runs for cheap.
These guys managed to do it. They do say that it is working, and that they used a cheap microscope, tweezers and a toaster oven.
I’m not saying that it is easy, or that likelihood of failure isn’t high, but it IS possible.
It’s not just the BGA; that you can stencil and bake. Have a look at the backside
of the board that you have to solder after baking. Those are some pretty tiny
decoupling caps underneath the BGA!
I would love to tinker with one of these, yes please.
It looks like fun but I would need more information.
6 layers! I would like one of these, please.
One here please!
Even as just a bare board, I would love one.
I am slowly inching my way towards being able to solder bga.
I want one, please!
Would love to try it,
Great stuff for next project. I would love to have it.
Seeing a successful complex 6 layer board and hearing them praise KiCad definitely makes me think about trying it…I’ve been putting it off for quite a while now…The latest board I’m working on would be a lot better if it was 4 layer. . .
I didn’t realize it had online DRC, that would really help. I can’t remember exactly why DP wasn’t switching yet.
BGA is nuts for hobbyists :-P
And Eagle CAD does trace length matching…surprised KiCAD doesn’t just integrate the freerouting code…
This is cool! I want one!
whoah , it’s to dificult to reliabli solder and a $20 ic not usable because of a faulty soldering is no fun so I’ll pass on this.
Yes I’m interested.
but it’s a pity the device is not bigger say X150
Not worth it. Most will lose a $20 chip and end up with a useless board. This isn’t no Adruino.
If they are that competent, then they are good enough to design and prototype such a board themselves or have vendors that can. In which case they don’t need a freebie.
I suspect all of them will end up in the garbage bin.
For those who would like a free bare board, please order it at http://numato.com/freebies for free.
to late
How do Ienter giveaway.I like item presentef I can use the device for recreational hobbies.
