--- title: "FPGA and blinking lights" date: 2024-01-13 --- Today I got the OrangeCrab `blink` example running on my board, yay! My daily driver is a Pixelbook, so I resurected an old laptop and put Debian stable on it so I could have a good set of USB ports. The only niggle is that you need to replug the board to get into the boot loader, but you can add a module to the design that watches the boot button and resets when pressed. Overally, I'm happy. Next step is to write some RTL.
