Really? On the http://www.clifford.at/icestorm/ IceStorm site - If you look carefully at the table of supported devices - the ICE40HX4K-144 is there - 2 rows from the bottom

If you search around the communities - there's an STM32duino forum where the EagleCAD design files for #myStorm have been placed http://www.stm32duino.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1276#p16407
It looks like they have 512K bytes of 10nS SRAM on the back of the board - but it's neat how the $5 Rapberry Pi-Zero plugs in at one end - some cool overall pics on Twitter if you search #myStorm

In what way would it be better? Two guys doing something cool - what do you want? It's all opens source - you go make one in 10 days!

In response to Joshu - I don't think this is a Kickstarter Campaign - I get it's two guys in the UK doing this off their own backs - and in record time - design on laptop to working board prototype in less than 2 weeks - with the pcbs made in Shenzhen China, in under a week. There on Twitter under #myStorm - if you want to check them out

You might consider Clifford Wolf's Project Ice Storm - an open source tool chain for several Lattice devices - consisting of YoSys Synthesiser and Arachne Place and Route.

Oh sorry - just heard that this item has moved to a new blog host https://folknologylabs.wordpress.com/2016/07/21/a-perfect-st...
It sounds like this board is going to be available for $30 and you add your own Rasp-Pi - but the $5 Pi-Zero plugs straight in on the end of the board.
There's an ARM M3 acting as FPGA programmer, GPIO, ADC and up to 512K bytes of fast SRAM on the flip-side of the board.
For $30 that seems a bargain!
