## Description

The Alchitry Cu is an affordable FPGA development board featuring the Lattice iCE40 HX with 7,680 logic cells. This SparkFun version adds a Qwiic connector for easy I2C sensor and actuator integration. It can be programmed using entirely open-source tools via Project IceStorm. The Cu provides 79 I/O pins, eight general-purpose LEDs, and a 100MHz on-board clock that can be manipulated internally by the FPGA. A USB-C connector handles configuration, power, and serial data transfer. Like all Alchitry boards, it supports Lucid HDL and includes a built-in component library and debugger.
