Wanna dip your toes into the world of digital logic design - but a little intimidated of the complexity? You may find a friend in the TinyFPGA BX, a FPGA development board that is designed from the ground up to be easy to use. Designed for makers and hobbyists, TinyFPGA BX puts you in control and takes the headache out of power delivery, clocking, configuration flash, and more. Its small form factor fits easily on a breadboard for learning or prototyping.

This board is all-in-one, with a USB bootloader so you don't need any external programmer dongles. The ICE40 FPGA chip is supported by open source tools, so you can develop on any operating system. There's documentation and getting started guides, so you can make you first FPGA project, or maybe just your tiniest one? Check out the website at tinyfpga.com
