About the Riscv challenge PCB

Riscv challenge is an open source PCB design by FrankBuss, published on GitHub under the BSD-2-Clause license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 25.4 × 25.4 mm, with 10 components from 7 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the H11L1SM. By type, the board carries 4 resistors, 3 connectors, 1 IC, 1 diode and 1 capacitor.

It belongs with the audio and dev boards & breakouts designs in this gallery.

From the project

MIDI synthesizer for the RISC-V Design Challenge

This is the MIDI synthesizer project for the RISC-V Design Challenge. I'm using this board for it.

The board is configured to receive the MIDI data with an opto-isolator with the standard MIDI frequency of 31,250 Hz. The firmware then detects note-on and note-off events and generates a PWM signal with the requested pitch.

Soldering the MIDI-in board and testing the project:
