Ghostblade: common questions

What microcontroller does the Ghostblade use?

The Ghostblade is built around the RP2350B, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How many components are on the Ghostblade?

66 components, from 58 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 Ghostblade design files?

From the jayis1/ghostblade repository on GitHub, which has a netlist and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Ghostblade design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its CERN-OHL-S-2.0 license, which jayis1 chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Ghostblade 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.
