RP design with rp2040

A custom development board built around the Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller.

This project is a personal PCB design exercise based on the official RP2040 hardware-design reference material. The goal was to translate the reference design into a complete, organized KiCad project and develop a practical DevKit-style board around the RP2040.

The board was designed from the RP2040 reference design with attention to the complete hardware implementation rather than treating the microcontroller as a standalone component. The repository contains the KiCad schematic and PCB layout, supporting…

Rp2040: common questions

What microcontroller does the Rp2040 use?

The Rp2040 is built around the RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Rp2040 PCB?

The Rp2040 measures 48.1 × 41.6 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 0.61 mm thick.

How many components are on the Rp2040?

32 components, from 17 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Rp2040 design files?

From the IslamHUFE/rp2040 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Rp2040 design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Rp2040 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.
