From the project
My KiCad boards. Can't be bothered uploading individually anymore, so here you go.
This project is a start for a replacement mainboard for a Sony Vaio P laptop.
- Original LCD driven through DPI, with an LVDS converter (thanks to @exentio ) - RP2040 keyboard controller (thanks to @exentio ) - RP2040 embedded controller - Pi Zero placement and wireup - LCD backlight driver - Right side connector (USB, charger input) - USB hub - Recovery mode for the EC

Vaio re: common questions
What microcontroller does the Vaio re use?
The Vaio re is built around the RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.
How big is the Vaio re PCB?
The Vaio re measures 75 × 65 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Vaio re?
274 components, from 100 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 Vaio re design files?
From the CRImier/MyKiCad repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Vaio re design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which CRImier chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Vaio re without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug RP2040/RP2350 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
