Motherboard: common questions
What microcontroller does the Motherboard use?
The Motherboard is built around the RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.
How big is the Motherboard PCB?
The Motherboard measures 183.4 × 143.1 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 4.69 mm thick.
How many components are on the Motherboard?
117 components, from 49 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Motherboard design files?
From the apistol78/rv32 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Motherboard design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with apistol78. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Motherboard without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug RP2040/RP2350 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
