Other key parts include the SL2.1A and W25Q32JVSS. By type, the board carries 30 resistors, 4 transistors, 4 diodes, 3 connectors, 2 ICs and 1 module.
It belongs with the dev boards & breakouts designs in this gallery.
From the project
My KiCad boards. Can't be bothered uploading individually anymore, so here you go.
This is a start for reimplementing the Framework Mainboard. Currently, this board is a USB-C DP altmode to Framework display adapter, using the same connector and pinout that the Framework mainboard uses.
This adapter is currently going through the testing process, with a number of fundamental fixes scheduled for the v3 version.
- This board is untested and there's no guarantees of fitness. - I recommend a stencil for assembling this board.
