I'm working on learning KiCad + FPGAs, I've been making a little PCB, I can plug into my FPGA board (via a PMOD interface), to drive some WS2812B lighting strips via VHDL.
I've sent the PCB off to a fab, who will do the SMD assembly part too for me :) Will be a couple of weeks before it arrives I think.
I need to work on an SPI interface next in VHDL which will need to interface with BRAM which will act as the 'framebuffer'.
I used JLCPCB, it cost around £20 for 5 boards with the assembly (it's definitely cheaper without assembly), my board is pretty simple assembly-wise, a level converter, resistors, capacitors and diodes.
Re. kicad, I played with the push and shove routing feature for my board, which I found really nifty.
