Hexdump: common questions
What microcontroller does the Hexdump use?
The Hexdump is built around the STM32F030F4, from the STM32 family.
How big is the Hexdump PCB?
The Hexdump measures 25 × 447 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Hexdump?
71 components, from 9 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Hexdump design files?
From the brainsmoke/hexboard repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Hexdump design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with brainsmoke. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Hexdump 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.
