Nrf board test: common questions
What microcontroller does the Nrf board test use?
The Nrf board test is built around the NRF54L15-QFXX, from the Nordic nRF family.
How big is the Nrf board test?
The Nrf board test measures 71.3 × 41.7 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Nrf board test?
59 components, from 36 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Nrf board test design files?
From the bkiss13/nrf_board_test repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Nrf board test design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with bkiss13. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Nrf board test without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug Nordic nRF firmware against it before you order a PCB.
