From the project
Echo - Open Hardware Music Player
Echo is an open hardware platform for music players. The goal of the project is to produce a high quality music player, based on and designed with free software. It's primarily designed to run Rockbox, a free music player firmware with support for many codecs, and a wide array of features.
The PCB is designed with KiCAD 9.0, and there is an unfinished 3D-printable case designed with build123d.

Echoplayer: common questions
What microcontroller does the Echoplayer use?
The Echoplayer is built around the STM32H7R3Z8Jx, from the STM32 family.
How big is the Echoplayer PCB?
The Echoplayer measures 52 × 94 mm, has 6 copper layers and is 1.06 mm thick.
How many components are on the Echoplayer?
141 components, from 51 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Echoplayer design files?
From the amachronic/echoplayer repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Echoplayer design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its CERN-OHL-S-2.0 license, which amachronic chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Echoplayer without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug STM32 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
