About the Trace reaper PCB

Trace reaper is an open source STM32 PCB design by jayis1, published on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board measuring 85.5 × 24 mm, with 24 components from 20 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the STM32H743VIT6, from the STM32 family. Other key parts include the iCE40UP5K-SG48, AD9236BCPZ-250, AD8138ARZ, LTC6409 and CYW20819. By type, the board carries 9 ICs, 5 connectors, 4 capacitors, 3 switches and 3 diodes.

It belongs with the power & battery and iot & wireless designs in this gallery.

From the project

Full-cycle hardware designs for security research devices — each device is a subfolder with its own README, schematics, PCB layout, and software stack

TRACE-REAPER is a battery-powered, pocket-sized appliance that performs power-side-channel analysis (SCA) of cryptographic hardware in the field. Most power-analysis workflows demand a bench full of equipment — a high-speed oscilloscope, a shunt/amplifier front-end, a host PC running Python notebooks, and hours of capture. TRACE-REAPER collapses all of that into one self-contained unit the size of a chunky USB stick.

Trace reaper: common questions

What microcontroller does the Trace reaper use?

The Trace reaper is built around the STM32H743VIT6, from the STM32 family.

How big is the Trace reaper PCB?

The Trace reaper measures 85.5 × 24 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Trace reaper?

24 components, from 20 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Trace reaper design files?

From the jayis1/hacker-devices repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Trace reaper design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with jayis1. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Trace reaper without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug STM32 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
