        Hi @saheen_palayi , It depends on what exactly you want to do with the FPGA kit. and don't have much experience with FPGA, but I can help you Lattice iCEstick Evaluation Kit to get started.

        Lattice iCEstick Evaluation Kit
        It's available at fablab Kochi and Trivandrum if you want to try it out without buying.

        alt text alt text

        Features
        The iCEstick Evaluation Kit includes:
        • iCEstick Evaluation Board – features the following on-board components
        – High-performance, low-power iCE40HX1K FPGA
        – FTDI 2232H USB device allows iCE device programming and UART interface to a PC
        – Vishay TFDU4101 IrDA transceiver
        – Five user LEDs
        – 2 x 6 position Diligent PmodTM compatible connector enables many other peripheral connections
        – Discera 12Mhz MEMS oscillator
        – Micron 32Mbit N25Q32 SPI flash
        – Supported by Lattice iCEcube2™ design software
        – USB connector provides the power supply
        – 16 LVCMOS/LVTTL (3.3V) digital I/O connections on 0.1” through-hole connections
        • Pre-loaded demo design – the kit includes the pre-loaded demo design that flashes the on-board LEDs in a
        clockwise pattern.
        • USB connector – provides communication and debug port via a USB-to-RS-232 physical channel and programming interface to the PC.

          Our board is not cheapest possible, but has lots of things already onboard.
          ULX3S
          Board is also supported by opensource toolchain!
          For workshop material with our board you can check here:
          Workshop
          Price for 12F board is 75€ plus shipping.
          If you like it you can contact me at:

          • Thanks for sharing @rafitc99 . Glad to know that it was solved.

          • BaseType_t xQueueSendFromISR ( QueueHandle_t xQueue, const void *pvItemToQueue, BaseType_t *pxHigherPriorityTaskWoken );

            I was trying to pass a pointer. That was the issue.

          • Update!!
            I found the issue
            I created a Queue inside Rgpio.cpp and called a Funciton from main.cpp to check data in Queue. That worked well!!

            Reference to the #commit .

          • I'm trying to pass a value into Queue from Interrupt Service Routine(ISR) using xQueueSendFromISR() <-- Reference

            But I'm getting this error and ESP restart immediately.

            Guru Meditation Error: Core 0 panic'ed (LoadProhibited). Exception was unhandled. Core 0 register dump: PC : 0x4021227c PS : 0x00000033 A0 : 0x4021c72e A1 : 0x3ffe8220

            Here is the gpio interrupt example which I'm following.

            Here is my code. I did some modification in this.

            Check 70th line of this location.

            static void main_power_isr_handler(void* arg) { xQueueHandle* main_q = (xQueueHandle*)arg; static main_q_payload_t msg; msg.hdr = E_MAIN_MSG_MAIN_POWER_STATUS; msg.bool_payload = gpio_get_level(GPIO_MAIN_POWER); //ets_printf("Someone Interrupted \n "); xQueueSendFromISR(main_q, &msg, NULL); //!!! THIS LINE }
