PVDX Compute Board: common questions

What microcontroller does the PVDX Compute Board use?

The PVDX Compute Board is built around the SAMD51, from the Microchip SAM family.

How big is the PVDX Compute Board?

The PVDX Compute Board measures 82.5 × 82.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the PVDX Compute Board?

87 components, from 36 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the PVDX Compute Board design files?

From the BrownSpaceEngineering/PVDX-Compute-Board repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the PVDX Compute Board design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with BrownSpaceEngineering. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the PVDX Compute Board without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug Microchip SAM firmware against it before you order a PCB.
