Can you sell these assembled? Using Tang nano for learning right now, but the tooling and docs situation is not great

The icebreaker is great and easy to get up and running, plus it has pmod headers which makes it easy to add add-ons.

Yep, and I love it. That's a much smaller (and lower pin count) FPGA than this ECP5, though.

IceSugarPro (with its breakout board) is quite a nice board if you want something pre-assembled. Same FPGA as this new board (so also supported by the Open Source toolchain), same size SDRAM, HDMI out but PMODs for everything else.

I really like the look of this new board, though - I definitely want to get my hands on one. (I also have a Tang Nano 20K but don't like it all that much.)

I have the icesugar pro as well. I like the SODIMM form factor because it works well on a cheap four-layer carrier board and it exposes a lot of IO, which is what I want when I'm doing stuff with FPGAs.
