They have an intro to the myStorm board at https://folknologylabs.wordpress.com/2016/07/21/a-perfect-storm/ https://folknologylabs.wordpress.com/2016/07/21/a-pe

  In response to Joshu - I don't think this is a Kickstarter Campaign - I get it's two guys in the UK doing this off their own backs - and in record time - design on laptop to working board prototype in less than 2 weeks - with the pcbs made in Shenzhen China, in under a week. There on Twitter under #myStorm - if you want to check them out

    > - and in record time - design on laptop to working board prototype in less than 2 weeks Well, it looks like there are 3 chips, a usual DC-DC converter, and that's all :-)

      If you search around the communities - there's an STM32duino forum where the EagleCAD design files for #myStorm have been placed http://www.stm32duino.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1276#p16407 http://www.stm32duino.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1276#p16407 It looks like they have 512K bytes of 10nS SRAM on the back of the board - but it's neat how the $5 Rapberry Pi-Zero plugs in at one end - some cool overall pics on Twitter if you search #myStorm

        Suggesting someone search Twitter for a hashtag is not really good documentation. Maybe a link to a top level project page somewhere would be helpful. I have been wanting to build a smaller project around an fpga so I am very excited about this, if they plan to sell it.

  Unfortunately IceStorm has only reverse engineered the 1K and 8K, not the 4K.

    Really? On the http://www.clifford.at/icestorm/ http://www.clifford.at/icestorm/ IceStorm site - If you look carefully at the table of supported devices - the ICE40HX4K-144 is there - 2 rows from the bottom

      Am I right in thinking 8K refers to the number of LUTs/cells? If so I won't be fitting the Rocket RISC-V design in one any time soon. Although it's a good start - I'll be very happy to see the back of Xilinx Vivado awfulness one day.

        There is a Pico Risc-V that fits in ~2000 LUTs that can be built for the ice40: https://github.com/cliffordwolf/picorv32 https://github.com/cliffordwolf/picorv32 https://github.com/cliffordwolf/picorv32/blob/master/scripts/icestorm/Makefile https://github.com/cliffordwolf/picorv32/blob/master/scripts...

        PicoRV32 (https://github.com/cliffordwolf/picorv32 https://github.com/cliffordwolf/picorv32) and ORCA (https://github.com/VectorBlox/orca https://github.com/VectorBlox/orca) are two RISC-V implementations that nicely fit in ~2000 iCE40 LUTs. UCB-BAR V-Scale (https://github.com/ucb-bar/vscale https://github.com/ucb-bar/vscale) fits in ~4000 iCE40 LUTs.

      I stand corrected. See Clifford's other comment in this thread.
