I forked both pico-ice and pico-ice-sdk on 07/25/24. At this time I created branches test-dev in both pico-ice and pico-ice-sdk.

pico-ice commit 12eea8225a31b25d940c23973c7ff457b6d6097a (origin/main, origin/HEAD) Author: Josuah Demangeon me@josuah.net Date: Fri May 26 00:58:02 2023 +0200

pico-ice-sdk commit 4ebe348ffcb4feb3e2756d101f594679eb02d97c (HEAD -> test-dev, origin/test-dev, origin/main, origin/HEAD) Author: Josuah Demangeon me@josuah.net Date: Thu Jun 20 23:12:41 2024 +0200

examples: ice_makefile_blinky: allow blinking with R, G or B easily

On 07/30/24 I noticed This branch is 88 commits behind tinyvision-ai-inc/pico-ice:main. pico-ice/Docs _config.yml ice_flash.md images pinout.md favicon.ico ice_fpga.md index.md pmods.md Gemfile ice_led.md learn.md programming_the_fpga.md Gemfile.lock ice_spi.md LICENSE programming_the_mcu.md getting_started.md ice_sram.md pico_ice_sdk.md ice_cram.md ice_usb.md pinout

Now pico-ice/Docs Doxyfile images pmods.md doxygen-awesome-css index.md programming_the_fpga.md DoxygenLayout.xml learn.md programming_the_mcu.md favicon.ico pinout getting_started.md pinout.md

This repo https://github.com/tinyvision-ai-inc/pico-ice/tree/main/Docs now is missing some very important files needed for understanding the rp2040 functions with ice40UP5K. I believe these are missing (ice_flash.md, ice_fpga.md, ice_led.md, ice_spi.md, ice_sram.md, and ice_usb.md).

I added several files in my test-dev branch in pico-ice/myDocs. This should have said that I was ahead of tinyvision-ai-inc/pico-ice:main.

Hello! The documentation evolved. Before, Sphinx was used (i.e. what ReadTheDocs uses). Now Doxygen is used, which permits to have the documentation for each of these features as part of the C source header themselves, and the HTML documentation is generated from here: https://pico-ice.tinyvision.ai/modules.html

Here is where you will find the same content as the ice_[...].md files you pointed at earlier: https://github.com/tinyvision-ai-inc/pico-ice-sdk/tree/main/include

Thanks! Did the repo change just a few days ago? My 2 pico-ice boards were shipped. Looking forward to seeing how they work. Excited to start learning about this combo of rp2040 & ice40UK5K.

It is possible that the firmware you receive on the pico-ice is not the latest one. There are occasionally bugfixes published and a good precaution would be to download the latest release as soon as receiving the board, or indicate anyone using them to do so, in order to avoid confusing bugs that are already fixed: https://github.com/tinyvision-ai-inc/pico-ice/releases/latest

There will be some changes to the repo, and the develop branch gets updated more frequently. I do not remember the main branch being updated very lately.
