5390 - IceCube2 / iCE40 UltraPlus: Why are there only two I/O Bank options (top and bottom bank), on the iCEcube2 chip configuration dialog when there are three I/O Banks on the iCE40 Ultra/UltraPlus device?

5390 - IceCube2 / iCE40 UltraPlus: Why are there only two I/O Bank options (top and bottom bank), on the iCEcube2 chip configuration dialog when there are three I/O Banks on the iCE40 Ultra/UltraPlus device?

Solution:
There are three I/O banks: one top bank (Bank 0) and two bottom banks (Bank 1_SPI and Bank 2).
For the I/O bank voltages:
  • TopBank is the voltage option for Bank 0.
  • BottomBank is the voltage option for Bank 2.

Voltage for Bank 1_SPI should be from an external supply source.

Note: The software's bank voltage option was used only for power estimation. The actual VCCIO supply on the hardware is still what matters.
