Compact FPGA solution for digital logic applications
Features 1280 logic cells and 64k bits RAM
Includes on-board PIC16F15325 microcontroller
Operates at 3.3V with 5mA current draw
Offers 13 versatile FPGA I/O pins
The IceBlips iCE40-LP1k FPGA Module (3.3V) is a compact and efficient field-programmable gate array (FPGA) solution designed for various digital logic applications. It features 1280 logic cells and 64k bits of embedded RAM, organized into sixteen 4k bit blocks. The module includes an on-board PIC16F15325 microcontroller responsible for programming the Flash memory and resetting the FPGA. Additionally, the PIC microcontroller generates an 8MHz clock signal for the FPGA. The module operates exclusively at a voltage of 3.3V and, when running the blip_cnt firmware—a 13-bit counter driving all I/O pins at 8MHz—it consumes a mere 5mA of current. The IceBlips iCE40-LP1k FPGA Module offers 13 available FPGA I/O pins, making it a versatile choice for various embedded systems and digital logic projects. An IceBlip programmer can be used for programming either in a ZIF socket or directly on a custom PCB.
Having a whole microcontroller system on ICEblip.
Steve did a great job to implement TPS / Myco on ICEblip.
A 4 bit controller emulated via a Pumpkin CPU in VHDL.
You find it all on github
https://github.com/Steve-Teal/myco-iceblip
and a little video on youtube

Many examples are included,
and you find an online implementation of this functionality here

The smallest FPGA board - just a 16 pin package
This is the best and most unknown FPGA board we have seen!!!
And at a low cost per board.
And as it uses the free ICEcube2 software, it is easy for you to start.
Many examples you can port using the nandland.com project.
We had the opportunity to get a free samlpe for testing the board / boards.
Steve ported his Pumpkin processor onto this board and used it to emulate a 4 bit processor system that can be programmed by just using 3 push buttons

and
there are 3 books about the TPS project here with other implementations
