Hurley Research NRFICE Dongle-free Bluetooth® FPGA Board

Hurley Research NRFICE Dongle-free Bluetooth® FPGA Board combines the dual-core Bluetooth SoC nRF5340 with the Lattice ICE40UP5K FPGA to simplify IoT products and edge computing development. This board, in an Arduino Uno form factor, is built-in J-Link programming and debugging that eliminates the need for emulator dongles. The NRFICE board's form factor supports 3.3V shields and includes a 5V power supply on board to supply shield/daughter boards with power for LED lighting. This board allows for the prototyping of mobile peripheral and edge computing devices.

The NRFICE board features 128Mbit external flash memory accessible from ICE40 and nRF and Fanstel BT40 module with FCC approved trace antenna. This board also feature a USB-C™ for nRF5340, providing a VCOM serial port and other USB implementations per code.
