<gimbas> wow how did he manage to drop the price so much?
<
electronic_eel>
I think he changed parts to chinese ones available from LCSC as much as possible
<
d1b2>
<gimbas> but compatible and same footprint? just bom changes
<
d1b2>
<tnt> no, there was some PCB changes.
<
electronic_eel>
no, different footprint. He also changed the layout to just one side
<
electronic_eel>
otherwise soldering with his hotplate wouldn't work
<
tnt>
Although I'm a bit surpised, if trying to cut cost that much, why you'd pay for the 8k instead of the 4k ...
<
sorear>
software-compatible? niiiice
<
sorear>
I was worried we'd wind up with a split ecosystem here
<
electronic_eel>
tnt: aren't the 8k and the 4k the same silicon, so fully compatible?
<
tnt>
electronic_eel: yeah exactly ... only difference is the price. And he mounted 8k parts AFAICT.
<
sorear>
don't you need to use a different IDCODE for 4k bitstreams?
<
tnt>
no IDCODE on ice40

<transorbs> He has comparison photos and you can definitely some of the parts are different. Very impressive work.
