CPTR 480 Spring 2026 student template repo

This is your personal lab repository for CPTR 480 — Programming Embedded and Real-Time Systems. It is private — only you and the instructor can see it.

New to the repo? See GETTINGSTARTED.md** for a step-by-step guide: cloning (with submodules), installing the SDK/toolchain, building, flashing, debugging, and the weekly workflow.

The firmware .uf2 file appears in build/lab1/ etc.

Cptr480-template: common questions

What microcontroller does the Cptr480-template use?

The Cptr480-template is built around the RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How many components are on the Cptr480-template?

48 components, from 26 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Cptr480-template design files?

From the frohro/cptr480-template repository on GitHub, which has the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Cptr480-template design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Cptr480-template 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.
