## Hardware Details
- **FPGA**: XC7A100T-2FGG484I (Artix-7, 484-pin BGA, speed grade -2)
-- **Clock**: 100 MHz oscillator on pin N14
-- **LEDs**: 8 LEDs (pins K13, K16, L15, L14, M16, M14, M12, N16)
-- **Reset**: Active-low reset button on pin P6
-- **IO**: 48 general purpose IO pins available
+- **Clock**: 100 MHz oscillator on pin W19
+- **LEDs**: 8 LEDs (pins P19, P20, T21, R19, V22, U21, T20, W20)
+- **Reset**: Active-low reset button on pin N15
+- **IO**: 32 general purpose IO pins from A/B/C banks
-The example uses a 24-bit counter clocked at 100 MHz, with the MSB driving LED 0 for a blink rate of approximately 12 Hz.
+Pin mappings are sourced from official Alchitry Labs V2 hardware definitions.
