LinuxCNC-RIO - RealtimeIO for LinuxCNC based on FPGA (ICE40 / ECP5)

yes, i know, documentation is everything, but that's exactly what i don't enjoy
But as cornholio already said, you save a lot of work with the hal/ini configuration, everything you saw in the video is generated from the .json config.

I don't want to make a business out of it, it's just a hobby, but of course I'm happy if others use it and like it.

there are no ADC's broken out on this board, but they can be extended via I2C, also possible via Modbus, but then they are not as fast.

Thanks to 'festlv' fixing the ecp5 pin generator,
the Colorlite i5 works with riocore:

 

Wow the number of supported boards is getting really extensive.

That's just a colorlight board on a SODIMM based on a lattice FPGA, I have a similar module but with a Spartan 6 FPGA. The ram is 8mb.
The litex project has a couple of examples with a riscv CPU, but probably not up to running Linuxcnx full on.
Now the board that would be great is the Beagle Bone Black if it had say 4gb ram and a faster processor whilst still keeping the PRU for step gen and such.

something like the 'Waveshare LuckFox Pico Plus RV1103' would be cool, headless with web-frontend.

or rasperry pi zero(2)

Why we don't go all the way and design a RISCV Linuxcnc SoC ? I think I can pay anyone willing a cup of coffee, just bear in mind I ain't Elon Musk (actually I can't even afford to replace my old car that had to go to scrapyard). hahahahaha

1999 Toyota Echo sedan, bought off a driving instructor about 8 or 9 years ago, was a bit rough bodywise. Cost AUD $3000 to buy. Got to the stage where the easiest option, if I had the $$$ would get a reco motor & geabox, plus new CV shafts & front wheel bearings.

But hell some people spend more than 3K a year on insurance.

The only useful thing on that module for this purpose is Ethernet PHYs. But even then, I don't think implementing an Ethernet core is worth the effort, considering W5500 and UDP2SPI bridges already (kinda) work.
