Vicharak develops open reconfigurable-computing hardware in India. Flashable currently covers Shrike-lite, the lowest-cost member of its Shrike family, which combines an RP2040 microcontroller with a Renesas ForgeFPGA and publishes the hardware design, software, documentation and teaching examples. Vicharak also identifies separate RP2350 Shrike and ESP32-S3 Shrike-fi variants; similar names do not make their firmware interchangeable. For Shrike-lite, start with the first-party v1.0.0 UF2, the current prebuilt example bitstream and the documented 3.3 V limits. The official store listed one board at US$4 on 2026-08-23, with shipping and external modules separate. Manufacturer imagery is used only for attributed editorial identification, with no separate image licence claimed. Follow each device into original project sources, compatible firmware and practical guides.
