Bd pi: common questions
What microcontroller does the Bd pi use?
The Bd pi is built around the SC0918, from the Raspberry Pi family.
How big is the Bd pi PCB?
The Bd pi measures 89.6 × 87.4 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Bd pi?
24 components, from 15 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Bd pi design files?
From the JavierGONL/bd-pi repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Bd pi design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with JavierGONL. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Bd pi without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug Raspberry Pi firmware against it before you order a PCB.
