Compute4layer: common questions

What microcontroller does the Compute4layer use?

The Compute4layer is built around the SAMD51, from the Microchip SAM family.

How big is the Compute4layer PCB?

The Compute4layer measures 82.5 × 82.5 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Compute4layer?

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

Where can I download the Compute4layer 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 Compute4layer 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 Compute4layer 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.
