About the AppleII SD Card FlashFloppy PCB

AppleII SD Card FlashFloppy is an open source STM32 PCB design by Board-Folk, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 111.5 × 63.8 mm, with 32 components from 13 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the STM32F105R, from the STM32 family. Other key parts include the AMS1117-3.3 and 74LS07. By type, the board carries 14 resistors, 11 capacitors, 3 ICs, 1 crystal, 1 connector and 1 switch.

From the project

Multiple hardware projects that use the Flash Floppy firmware by Kier Fraser for various systems

They all use the STM32F4105 Microcontroller, Mainly SD Card and Side Scroll Wheel.

https://github.com/keirf/flashfloppy/wiki/Firmware-Programming#stm32-method-2-serial-programming

which requires a USB-TTL adapter, and using the stm32flash on mac.

Front USB Programming wont be available on some of the PCB's as well there isnt one, so has to be done via the TTL Serial connection to the STM32.
