The MiSTle projects can be used with off-the-shelf components and some breadboard setup.

To simplify this the MiSTeryNano project provides additional custom designed hardware boards.

These boards are typically to be produced through a service like JLCPCB. You might want to check the instructions in our wiki.

Shields

Shields are carrier boards that carry one or more off-the-shelf development boards, connect them and provide them with additional peripherals like USB Hubs, MIDI ports, Joystick ports etc.

• The MiSTeryShield20k is a base board for the Tang Nano 20k and the M0S Dock with a DB9 joystick connector and MIDI ports
• MiSTeryShield20k RPiPico is a board similar to the MiSTeryShield20k but using a Raspberry Pi Pico instead of the M0S Dock and with a USB hub already built-in
• The MiSTeryShield20k lite is also a base board for the Tang Nano 20k. It includes the RP2040 and a USB-A port and is a minimal all-in-one solution for the Tang Nano 20k.

MCU PMOD's

Many FPGA boards provide so-called PMOD ports. These can be used to add the FPGA Companion MCU to those boards. The MCU PMOD's provide a PMOD connector to common MCU developments boards and makes them compatible with typical FPGA PMOD ports.

FPGA boards providing PMOD ports include the Tang Primer 20K, Primer 25K, Mega 60k/138K NEO, Mega138kPro and Console 60k/138k

• The PMOD M0S provides a PMOD port for the M0S Dock (BL616 µC)
• The PMOD PiPico provides a PMOD port for Raspberry Pi Pico and (W)ifi
• The PMOD PiZero provides a PMOD port for Raspberry Pi Pico compatible RP2040-ZERO board

Other boards

• The Console Hub is a small 4 port USB Hub designed to be used with the Tang Console allowing it to be powered via USB-C through the Hub.
• The T20 PMOD is an add-on for the Efinix T20BGA256 development board adding a PMOD for HDMI usage, the SD card slot and a Raspberry Pi PICO incl. USB-A header to it making it a complete MiSTeryNano setup.
• The LVDS2TMDS board is and add-on for the Efinix T20BGA256 development board converting its LVDS outputs to TMDS allowing to drive regular digital video signals
• The Atari ST Keyboard design is a tiny 50% Atari ST style keyboard which is meant to become the basis for a Mini Atari ST
• MisteryShield20k DS2 Adapter is an add-on for the MiSTeryShield20k allowing to connect Playstation Dualshock 2 Game controllers to it

Complete stand-alone solutions

• The MiSTeryDev20k is meant to become a first test of a complete all-in-one board for the GW2AR-LV18 FPGA (the same one as on the Tang Nano 20k).
