Computer board: common questions

What microcontroller does the Computer board use?

The Computer board is built around the Raspberry_Pi, from the Raspberry Pi family.

How big is the Computer board?

The Computer board measures 101.6 × 33 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Computer board?

39 components, from 5 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Computer board design files?

From the jrleeman/Clemson_OFMI repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Computer board design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Computer board 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.
