[> Intro

The LiteX-Acorn-Baseboard is a baseboard developed around the SQRL's Acorn board (or Nite/LiteFury) expanding their possibilities with:

• A PCIe X1 connector.
• A SFP connector.
• A M2 SATA slot.
• An EPC5 FPGA (connected to the Acorn through a SerDes link) and providing:
• A JTAG/UART port.
• A 1Gbps Ethernet port (RGMII).
• A HDMI Out port.
• A SDCard slot.
• 4 PMODs.
• 2 Buttons.
• A LCD.
• 2 SATA connectors (connected to the ECP5's SerDeses).

The board is mainly intended to be used as a development board for LiteX: From regression testing to development of new features; but can also be a nice and cheap FPGA development board for developers willing to play with PCIe, SFP, SATA, etc... or wanting to create an standalone and open source Linux platforms.

[> Prerequisites

• Python3, Vivado.
• Either a Vivado-compatible JTAG cable (native or XVCD), or OpenOCD.
