SPIDER Automation Sipeed Tang Primer 25K GW5A-LV25 FPGA SoM & Dock Kit | 64Mbit Flash & 76 GPIOs | For Advanced Logic Design & Prototyping

Description

SPIDER Automation Sipeed Tang Primer 25K represents the pinnacle of compact, modular FPGA engineering, combining a highly integrated System-on-Module (SoM) with a fully featured expansion dock. At its heart is the GOWIN GW5A-LV25MG121 FPGA, delivering robust logic resources and performance packed into a miniature board smaller than a standard coin. The SoM integrates 64Mbit of SPI Flash, dedicated power management, and high-speed data interfaces directly onto its tiny footprint.

Designed for maximum versatility, the companion dock board expands the SoM’s capabilities with an onboard USB-JTAG debugger, three standard PMOD connectors, and a 40-pin general-purpose header. This modular ecosystem supports a wide array of optional peripheral attachments—including HDMI displays, gamepads, SDRAM memory expansions, and dual DVP camera modules. Powered via a simple 5V micro-USB input, the Tang Primer 25K is an exceptional development kit for engineers, researchers, and advanced hobbyists.
