From the project

Hardware-In-the-Loop (HiL ⛰️) for high-quality validation 🧪 everywhere 🚀

Hardware-in-the-Loop, or HiL (sometimes HitL), is a way to continuously validate your hardware and firmware together. By connecting actual hardware to virtual test scenarios, HiL enables thorough testing of embedded systems, control units, and firmware under realistic conditions without the risks and costs of full physical testing.

HiL testing catches integration issues early, accelerates development cycles, and ensures robust system performance before deployment. Typically the domain of the most sophisticated automotive and aerospace companies, this HiL suite is now for all 🚀.

Black magic debugger: common questions

What microcontroller does the Black magic debugger use?

The Black magic debugger is built around the STM32F103CBU6TR, from the STM32 family.

How big is the Black magic debugger PCB?

The Black magic debugger measures 23.7 × 14.4 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Black magic debugger?

52 components, from 17 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Black magic debugger design files?

From the atopile/hil repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Black magic debugger design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which atopile chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Black magic debugger 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.
