CPU: common questions

What microcontroller does the CPU use?

The CPU is built around the Raspberry_Pi_2_3, from the Raspberry Pi family.

How big is the CPU PCB?

The CPU measures 265.4 × 95.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the CPU?

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

Where can I download the CPU design files?

From the jonathan-tooley/903 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the CPU design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the CPU 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.
