Vicharak Shrike-lite is a cost-effective, open-source microcontroller + FPGA development board designed for learners, makers, and embedded system designers. It uniquely combines an RP2040 ARM Cortex-M0 MCU with a 1120 LUT FPGA, enabling both firmware development and hardware logic design on a single compact board. With a breadboard-compatible layout, PMOD expansion, and integrated FPGA-MCU interface, Shrike-lite makes co-processing and rapid prototyping simple. Fully open-source hardware and software support allow users to explore Verilog/VHDL alongside Embedded C or MicroPython. Powered and programmed via USB Type-C, Shrike-lite is an excellent entry point into reconfigurable computing and hybrid embedded design. Features: Combines RP2040 MCU and 1120-LUT FPGA on one board Integrated FPGA–MCU IO interface for co-processing Open-source hardware and software ecosystem PMOD-compatible connector for easy expansion Breadboard-friendly pin layout for prototyping On-board QSPI Flash memory Dual user-programmable LEDs USB Type-C for power and programming Package Includes: 1 x Vicharak Shrike-lite
