About the Gpu vga extension PCB

Gpu vga extension is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by matgla, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 4-layer board measuring 24 × 50 mm, with 56 components from 25 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the RP2350_60QFN, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. Other key parts include the W25Q32JVSS and AP2112K-3.3. By type, the board carries 26 resistors, 19 capacitors, 4 ICs, 4 connectors, 2 inductors and 1 crystal.

It belongs with the usb & debug tools designs in this gallery.

From the project

Repository for MSPC hardware design

Hardware for MSPC: a small modular computer built from a mainboard and extension cards that plug into the MSPC bus. The mainboard runs yasos.

Every board is a KiCad project with its fabrication outputs next to it in outputs/.

- The projects are in KiCad 8 format. Newer KiCad versions upgrade them on the first save, and the result no longer opens in KiCad 8. Do such an upgrade as its own commit, with no design changes, so later diffs stay readable. - Schematic PDFs (outputs/schematic.pdf) are tracked, so the schematics can be read without KiCad. Gerbers and drill files are not: plot them…

Gpu vga extension: common questions

What microcontroller does the Gpu vga extension use?

The Gpu vga extension is built around the RP2350_60QFN, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Gpu vga extension PCB?

The Gpu vga extension measures 24 × 50 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.0192 mm thick.

How many components are on the Gpu vga extension?

56 components, from 25 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Gpu vga extension design files?

From the matgla/mspc repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Gpu vga extension design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which matgla chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Gpu vga extension 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.
