Ram expansion
About the Ram expansion PCB
Ram expansion is an open source PCB design by azonenberg, published on GitHub under the BSD-3-Clause license. It is a 4-layer board measuring 40.3 × 21.8 mm, with 24 components from 6 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the M24C02-RMC6TG and S80KS5122GABHA020. By type, the board carries 17 capacitors, 5 ICs, 1 connector and 1 resistor.
From the project
FPGA based dumper for flashes and more
1.0V shunt resistor is missing a zone fill. Will monitor droop under load and see if we need to add top layer power path. U33 is way too close to J10. Seems to have fit OK, not touching for now, but tough to assemble. INITB and PROGB on FPGA are 1.8V signals but we try to drive with 3.3 from supervisor! Rework: add pull to 1.8V on board, open drain in super firmware JTAG connector VCC is connected to 3.3V. We need to supply 1.8 here. Temporary workaround: six pin extension cable, pass through JTAG + GND and supply 1.8V to dongle externally. Long term fix: interposer board * DONE on FPGA is…
