Purchase of equipment needed for development of the router and related projects, as well as possible minor development of equipment needed. Examples of what would be purchased include relatively entry-level FPGA boards and Ethernet PMODs. equipment: * HyperRAM larger (256 mbit) https://1bitsquared.de/products/pmod-hyperram * OrangeCrab larger (85F) https://1bitsquared.de/products/orangecrab * ethernet https://www.waveshare.com/dp83848-ethernet-board.htm * Digilent Arty-A7-100t - https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/digilent-inc/410-319-1/9445912 - https://digilent.com/shop/arty-a7-artix-7-fpga-development-board/
the OrangeCrab 85F apparently comes with 512MiB (4Gbit) of DRAM
Sorry for the late response Jacob, just got round to it... On Farnell I can buy the orangecrab no probs: https://uk.farnell.com/hackster-launch/orangecrab-r0d2-85/dev-board-ecp5-85f-512-mib-fpga/dp/3651572 Orangecrab £129.04 VAT: £25.81 Total: £154.85 (Free delivery) However I haven't found the Hyperram module on a UK site, so I'll have to get it from the 1bitsquared site. Should I get the 64Mb or 256Mb?

I'm not in a hurry, so hopefully can get away without external RAM for now. The FedEx one is $65 is a bit steep, given the module costs less haha! > > you'll also need an FT232R > > https://www.amazon.co.uk/DSD-TECH-adapter-FT232RL-Compatible/dp/B07BBPX8B8/ I have one, but better to get a dedicated one for libresoc dev work. > and a soldering iron kit. > (if you don't already have one). Luckily I invested in a hakko many years ago. Although a new soldering tip would be useful (my ones are pretty worn out). Conical (or "horseshoe") tip is very versatile, usually way more usable than the pencil tip. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hakko-T18-C1-Soldering-FX-888-FX-8801/dp/B004OR7UBM > > i got one with a multi-meter (woo!) Ooh, very nice. At some point I'll upgrade my multimeter...some day XD > so, more like 300 quid. Sure. I'll document my expenditures. If there are left over funds I'll leave them for other miscellaneous components/tools.
