Build Low-Cost FPGA Projects with Tang Nano 20K and Free PCBA Prototypes - NextPCB Accelerator #6

At NextPCB, we believe in accelerating innovation and empowering developers to bring their designs to life. That's why we launched the NextPCB Accelerator campaign, a groundbreaking sponsorship campaign designed to support the next generation of IoT pioneers.

In this Accelerator campaign, NextPCB are proud to announce we have partnered with Sipeed to sponsor designs that use the highly-accessible FPGA development board, the Tang Nano 20K.

Why Tang Nano 20K from Sipeed?

The Tang Nano 20K is a low-cost FPGA development board by Sipeed built around the Gowin GW2A-LV18QN88C8I7, aimed at making FPGA technology accessible to hobbyists, students, and developers. Despite its low cost, it is powerful enough for most projects, featuring 20K LUTs and onboard memory to handle a wide range of tasks. Its simple design and support for open-source tools lower the barrier to entry, making it an ideal choice for beginners, hobbyists, and students eager to explore FPGA technology.

Applications:

Retro Gaming: Emulating classic gaming consoles with cycle-accurate hardware replication. The Tang Nano 20k already boasts a rich retro gaming community with a wide catalogue of supported consoles, computers and arcade systems.

Signal Processing: Implementing filters, modulators, or other DSP algorithms.

Prototyping: Rapid prototyping of digital designs before moving to custom hardware.

Education: Learning VHDL/Verilog and FPGA concepts through hands-on projects.

IoT and Embedded Systems: Integrating with sensors, actuators, and communication modules for IoT applications.

The Tang Nano 20K is an excellent choice for anyone looking to explore FPGA development without breaking the bank. Its combination of affordability, versatility, and ease of use makes it a standout option in the world of low-cost FPGAs. Whether for hobbyists, student, or professional, it’s a great tool to dive into the world of programmable logic.

Now you can explore hardware designs incorporating Tang Nano 20K for free with NextPCB's Accelerator Campaign

What's Included in the Program?

• Free Prototyping Support: Get 2 free PCBA units, including PCB fabrication, components, assembly, and worldwide shipping (valued up to USD $500).
