What's special about this?
hmry•1h ago
These chips usually cost $1k-$2k when bought new individually from the manufacturer

For what it's worth: if you have a FT2232H adapter hanging around (and if you don't, you should consider getting one), those adapters can easily be flashed to be compatible with Vivado:

At work we always have 20-30x FT2232H on stock.

They are super useful - they speak GPIO, I2C, SPI, parallel FIFO, etc.

And their pyFTDI Python lib is great.

Joel_Mckay•6m ago
Just be careful as the counterfeit FTDI chips can have bad internal regulators etc. (Usually those small Red UART and GPIO breakout hobby PCB.)

Usually better to use the vendor supplied JTAG tools, or build your own with known known good silicon. Recovering FPGA hardware is always a mixed bag of what IP and documentation is available to bring up the board. Looks like nice silicon though. =3

Cool stuff.

Reminds me of recycling used Mining- or LED-Controllers as they can be bought on Ali and have quite capable FPGAs.
