To make an "Edge Computing" device by combining the (relative) ease of programmability of microcontrollers and the power of programmable logic.

Nordic nRF52840 + iCE40 FPGA
A first attempt, in which we combine Nordic nRF52840 with a Lattice iCE40UP5k FPGA.
This is a cool idea! I want to see where it goes. OTA FPGA programming?
But what are the connectors/pinouts? You might give a little thought to making them compatible with other modules. For instance, those long rows on the sides could be converted to PMOD standard 2x6 headers, and then you might gain a bit of flexibility, esp for people who've played around with FPGAs and already have a few modules in their drawer.
