Plex-Console-Stage-1
About the Plex-Console-Stage-1 PCB
Plex-Console-Stage-1 is an open source RISC-V PCB design by itsThatCoderBoy, published on GitHub under the Unlicense license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 46.3 × 54 mm, with 13 components from 12 distinct parts.
Its main chip is the CH32V203C8T6, from the RISC-V family. Other key parts include the TP4056-42-ESOP8 and XC6206P302MR-G. By type, the board carries 5 resistors, 3 ICs, 2 switches, 1 transistor, 1 connector and 1 diode.
It belongs with the dev boards & breakouts and power & battery designs in this gallery.
From the project
A small devboard that will be used for emulation!
Thank you so much to Hack Club and Forge for making this whole thing possible! This really is an amazing oppurtunity.

Plex-Console-Stage-1: common questions
What microcontroller does the Plex-Console-Stage-1 use?
The Plex-Console-Stage-1 is built around the CH32V203C8T6, from the RISC-V family.
How big is the Plex-Console-Stage-1 PCB?
The Plex-Console-Stage-1 measures 46.3 × 54 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Plex-Console-Stage-1?
13 components, from 12 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 Plex-Console-Stage-1 design files?
From the itsThatCoderBoy/Plex-Console-Stage-1 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 Plex-Console-Stage-1 design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its Unlicense license, which itsThatCoderBoy chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Plex-Console-Stage-1 without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug RISC-V firmware against it before you order a PCB.
