About the Main board

Main board is an open source PCB design by esl-epfl, published on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board measuring 144.3 × 143.8 mm, with 253 components from 64 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the SN74AXC4T774RSVR, TPS2121RUXR, FT4232HL, W25Q128JVSIQ and TLV75801PDBV. By type, the board carries 115 resistors, 56 capacitors, 29 ICs, 26 diodes, 8 test points and 7 connectors.

It belongs with the usb & debug tools designs in this gallery.

From the project

This is a set of PCBs to test, in principle, X-HEEP chips (CHEEPs)... but, you can use it to test any chip you want, for what it matters.

This is a set of PCBs to test, in principle, X-HEEP chips (CHEEPs)... but, you can use it to test any chip you want, for what it matters.

The general idea is to recycle efforts, so all the things that are common to any CHEEP were moved into a main board. This one includes an FTDI through which you can program or communicate with your cheep, as well as some peripherals like flash, buttons, LEDs, etc. The main board also generates all the voltages needed by these blocks.

Main board: common questions

How big is the Main board?

The Main board measures 144.3 × 143.8 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6062 mm thick.

How many components are on the Main board?

253 components, from 64 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 Main board design files?

From the esl-epfl/HEEPidermis 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 Main board design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with esl-epfl. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
