FPGA: https://github.com/madcowswe/ODriveFPGA "... the FPGA logic and software that runs on the FPGA based ODrive. This is not currently in development, but may be resumed at some later date."

The hardware is based on a STM32F405RGT6[1] driving two TI DRV8301 brushless motor controller chips[2] and a bunch of MOSFETs to handle the power switching. I/O is a USB, CAN with driver chip, and SPI unbuffered on headers.

Sorry for being off-topic. I just want to say, "STM32F405RGT6" is possibly the most hardcore product/model name ever. Just beautiful.

It packs a lot of information in. STM32F4 is ST Micro's range of high-performance ARM Cortex-M4 microcontrollers with FPU, STM32F405 is a particular family of devices in that range differing mainly in package and memory size, R specifies that it's the 64-pin variant, G indicates that it's the version with 1024KB of flash, T is the LQFP package, and 6 is for -40 to 85 °C temperature range. Most of this is shared across the entire STM32 range of devices.

There are usually a dozen variants of the same microcontroller design just with different peripherals, amount of memory, packaging..

You could just as well say STM32 or STM32F4 and that is pretty much 99.9% of the information you need to know :)
