Efinix Dev Board Assembled

22 Dec 2022

The boards came from PCBCART this week. They often send a couple more than ordered but this time got carried away and sent 20 although I only ordered (and paid for) 10. It's one of the reasons that I like them. Most PCB places make extra boards to cover for any drop-outs. The UK supplier I used to use would bin them !

I've assembled 5 boards (only put connectors on one). Three boards have the Efinix Trion T20 and the others the T8.

Now I've got to make leads and adapters for programming and write some test code to get it doing something.

First off will be getting the two PSDRAMs (U3 and U4) working.

They are pretty small for 8Mbytes each.

    One of the good things about Gowin and Efinix is that they both offer at least some parts in non-BGA packages. It was a good point about Altera MAX10 but last time I looked you couldn't get them in any package in less than a year.

    The board looks amazing.  Am I understanding correctly that the board supports both the T8 and T20 parts?

    Nice card. It is great that it isn't a BGA.

    Hi Michael,

    Nice-looking board!

    Are you still using the hot-plate method for soldering them?
