Connect FTDI SPI with ICE40 FPGA
The open source toolchain for ICE40 FPGA works exceptionally well. For example, APIO (link) combines synthesis, simulation and programmer into one easy-to-use CLI, which makes ICE40 FPGAs fun to play with, in strong contrast to bulky, snail-slow Xilinx FPGA toolchains.
1. FTDI SPI Bitstream to Flash Chip
Because of the free ICE40 open source toolchain, many low-price development board has spun up around ICE40 FPGAs…
