Sipeed Tang Nano 20K GW2AR-18 QN88 FPGA Development Board with 64Mbits SDRAM 828K Block SRAM Linux RISCV Single Board Computer for Retro Game Console Support microSD RGB LCD JTAG Port

I've been using the Nano-9k for projects. The memory (BRAM) is a bit limit so I decided to try the Nano-20k. It would be nice if it was pin compatible with the Nano-9k. The smaller size is convenient for applications that don't need a lot of IO but the fewer pins will be more limiting. The Gowin IDE is very approachable. There are lots of simple examples. Out of curiosity I ordered a Primer-25k. Haven't received it yet though.

This is a great board for people who want to explore FPGAs at a low price. Gowin provides a licence-free educational tool chain.

Learn a new way of thinking about "programming". It's fun!You should looking to getting an 8 channel logic analyzer. It will make it easy to see what is going on.

built quality is not amazing , functionality is fine

Got this Tang Nano 20k working with Verilog using the open source tools yosys, nextpnr-himbaechel, and openFPGALoader. Posted a picture as a w65c832 (32 bit 6502) CPU writing to an SPI LCD display.
