About the Panel PCB
Panel is an open source RISC-V PCB design by cheyao, published on GitHub under the SHL-2.1 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 99.2 × 100 mm, with 9 components from 6 distinct parts.
Its main chip is the CH32V203F8U6, from the RISC-V family. Other key parts include the XC6206PXXXMR. By type, the board carries 3 capacitors, 2 ICs, 2 diodes and 2 resistors.

Panel: common questions
What microcontroller does the Panel use?
The Panel is built around the CH32V203F8U6, from the RISC-V family.
How big is the Panel PCB?
The Panel measures 99.2 × 100 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Panel?
9 components, from 6 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 Panel design files?
From the cheyao/comu repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Panel design in my own project?
It is published under SHL-2.1, which limits how it may be reused; read the license before building on it.
Can I test firmware for the Panel without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug RISC-V firmware against it before you order a PCB.
