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

That's too kind strikes again! Thanks, Oliver. Can I further abuse your generosity and ask for the amendments below? (C7 part, 50meg XO, UDP). Otherwise final, I think. Convenience at its finest, too cool this GUI 

In fact don't change anything right now. Once I have the board and set PINs for permanent set-ups I'll upload my json(s) over and hopefully you can help me to have this included in Riocore. Let's wait!

ps. I'm really leaning toward binning those colorlight cards and going RIO/Gowin for all 3 (2ax lathe, 4ax mill, 3ax laser). No joke!

too late

but W5500 pins are missing , so you can do this part

where is the github repository for baord

i meant this board

there is none

EDIT:
Just my general opinion on this:
I think it's fine if someone doesn't want to give out all the sources, he has already posted the schematics of many relevant parts.
I'm glad that someone with knowledge is constructing a board for RIO. 

If you want, you can also build your own board and just show the pictures here, I am also happy to help with such projects. The main thing is that everyone has fun and it helps the project to grow (community/bug-fixes/...)

oh well, one more thing 

if someone is from germany and has a Mesa 7C81 or 7I90HD lying around that he can lend for 1-2 weeks,
then I would try to port RIO to it

The RIO 5ax board is by no means ready and yet to be tested. I believe the PCB fab are currently laying out the silkscreen on it today, and so quite far from being a for-public release. Check back in a week or two, we should have significant progress made then. 

In a meantime (if in a rush) the Tang Nano 9k from Sipeed is as close as it gets to the Rio 5ax. Will require a W5500 module to go with it and some sort of 3V3-5V/5V~3V3 translation.

That's a brilliant idea. Rather than spending time and effort on getting a board out there I'm now thinking about getting one of those Mesa and just getting ready with that. Wow, never thought of that. Any particular reason for getting a 7C81 or 7I90HD? Let me know which you recommend and I'll order one now. 

Oh man, why you didn't flag this up before today. Certainly not going to get the 7C81 (raspi thing) but will press on getting a 7I90HD right away. Geez, excellent timing none the less, saves me from assembling >$200 worth of parts on some pcb I don't even know works lool
