About the 65C02 Computer PCB

65C02 Computer is an open source AVR/Arduino PCB design by dbuchwald, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 203.2 × 149.9 mm, with 62 components from 42 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the ATtiny4313-PU, from the AVR/Arduino family. Other key parts include the 74HC21, 74HC00, 74HC02, NE555 and 65C51N. By type, the board carries 17 capacitors, 13 resistors, 12 ICs, 11 connectors, 4 diodes and 2 crystals.

It belongs with the retro computing designs in this gallery.

From the project

DB6502: 65C02 based computer inspired by BE6502

This documentation provides all the information regarding my variant of BE6502 computer:

- Differences between the builds, - Instruction to order the PCBs, - Getting started with the PCB.

This section describes details of each deviation from original BE6502 design.

More of a cosmetic thing, but I liked the idea of computer running automatic reset on power-up. The added appeal was that the circuitry is actually copied from the original C64, which makes it instantly 1000x cooler :) You can read more on that here: Dirk Grappendorf's 6502 project - RESET

65C02 Computer: common questions

What microcontroller does the 65C02 Computer use?

The 65C02 Computer is built around the ATtiny4313-PU, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the 65C02 Computer PCB?

The 65C02 Computer measures 203.2 × 149.9 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the 65C02 Computer?

62 components, from 42 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the 65C02 Computer design files?

From the dbuchwald/6502 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the 65C02 Computer design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which dbuchwald chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the 65C02 Computer without the hardware?

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