This project demonstrates the use of LiteX & migen to create a Neopixel driving FPGA based h/w unit,
called NPE ('neopixel engine'). The project requires a colorlight-5a-75b board (sells at ~18€ as of 10/2020). A RISC-V CPU (RV32I) is incorporated as well as network RAM loading (2 banks!) & separate application flashing capability (MUCH faster, bringing flashboot
to life!).

The project also makes use of LiteDRAM DMA capabilities.
(Hint: project has been tested on Linux Mint 20 only, but should run on other Linux versions as well ...)
