tick[m]yes, that sounds like the most reasonable approach. An m.2 module with a smart USB hub and a regular Fomu behind that.08:20
tick[m]Although I'm not quite sure yet if that's a project worth pursuing.08:21

tick[m]Does anybody have experience with USB hub ICs ?15:25
tick[m]I've been looking at the Cypress CY7C65642 and it seems that might be reasonably easy to put that onto an m.2 card together with a Fomu.15:25
acathlatick[m], if you want to put another chip, you can also put an usb to uart chip, that will save a lot of LC on the iCE40.15:39
acathlafoboot is not ready for uart upload of code but it probrably will be soon (I need it)15:40
NotaUserIf you want to do that route you could use something like a MCP2200 for UART and use the GPIO to control power to the iCE40 to power cycle it15:41
NotaUser * If you want to do that route you could use something like a MCP2200 for UART and use the GPIO to control power to the iCE40 to power cycle it, then you don't need the hub chip at all.15:41
acathlaOn Sipeed MaixBit they use CTS and another line as GPIO for reset and boot_select15:43
tick[m]The thing I like about the hub idea is that the device would be compatible to a regular Fomu but using a dedicated uart chip would probably be easier and cheaper from a hardware point of view.15:58
acathlaYou can even plus a real Fomu directly16:11
