Very nice, just waiting for the board to be available!

Any update on when the iCE40HX8K-EVB will be back in stock?

When Lattice Semiconductor resume the ice40 FPGA sales

I can see some stock on Mouser, but it’s definitely not cheap (and the lead time after that is ~year):

Broken link in my last comment, this one should work:https://www.mouser.bg/ProductDetail/Lattice/iCE40HX8K-CT256?qs=F9A14TELRMtUXwpvAxLNcw%3D%3D
I am seeing “5 590 Can Dispatch Immediately”

It seems to now be in stock @ 29.95 EUR for 1 piece!https://www.olimex.com/Products/FPGA/iCE40/iCE40HX8K-EVB/open-source-hardware

I have everything to do this project except MOD-SDMMC, but the local shop where I bought iCE40HX8K-EVB and Olimexino 32u4 doesn’t have that MOD, but they have a similar module that might work. Shipping for one small thing would be too expensive. Maybe I have time to build and compile everything during Easter, but if not during the Summer of ’23. Have anyone outside the original team got it working?
